MotoGP 2023 + Fantasy Team

I know it's not MotoGP, but scary crash for Toprak in WSBK! Could have been a very nasty one.

A properly nasty one. Horrible to see.

 

[Katoom]

Crazy how there's not more barrier coverage there, didn't look like it absorbed much at all.

 

[Katoom]

Weather turning bad today, but looks too late to effect the race at the moment.

 

[Diddums]

Jesus that Toprak crash was something else, hope he recovers well!

 

[Katoom]

Rain started!!

 

[Psycho Ned]

That was a braindead gamble by Martin just cover off whatever Pecco did!

 

[Katoom]

Crazy!
Pecco v lucky after last week.
MM only 50 odd points off now.

Nothing is much better than watching Marc do Marc stuff.

Will be getting inside people's heads with performances like the last few weekends

I'd previously said that it was a 2 horse race for the championship. It's really looking like a 3 horse race and with MM93 riding the way he is at present he's a definite contender.

Repsol & HRC are parting ways at the end of the year. There's been rumours for years but it's been confirmed now and I'm not surprised. Repsol can't be happy at paying the big bucks to have their name plastered on a bike that gets this little exposure on TV.

 

[Katoom]

Sad but not surprising.
Gone from the team/bike that every rider would want, to quite the opposite.

Just hope Honda and some others stick around for the 2027 rule change.

 

[the-evaluator]

Honda & Yamaha are in a very similar position. I'm still surprised that FQ stuck around with Yamaha. I know he's getting $$$ to ride that POS around, but it can't be overly motivating for any rider to know you've zero chance of a win.

I do wonder if Honda will remain in MotoGP.

 

[MrKnifey]

I can't see honda sticking around much longer, I mean who buys superbikes anymore? Adventure bikes and 125s are where it's at these days

 

[mingeroonie]

At least it means no more repsol livery on the grid

You could be forgiven for thinking that's been the case for a couple of years. The only time you really see an HRC bike these days is when it's been thrown into a gravel trap.

 

[Katoom]

Hope there's more (some) action in today's event.

 

[Katoom]

More action in two laps than all of yesterday!

 

[Katoom]

Fair move in the end, great finish from Bast.
Crazy if JM takes the 1 plate to Aprilia.

I really, really hope he does, if for no other reason than to stick it to Ducati. Interesting race yesterday, felt for Pecco!
