MotoGP 2023 + Fantasy Team

Living up to his nickname, what a move by the Beast! Love it.

Can't believe Peco just didn't settle for position.

It's just a back and forth between Martin and Peco making unforced errors.

Crazy if JM takes the 1 plate to Aprilia.

It will be mental if he does. I kinda want him to, despite being a Bagnia and Ducati fan.

Just hope the Aprillia is more competitive next year.
 
Good sprint ! The beast has been quick all weekend and combined with how much stick the tyres will get i feel the race is his for the taking tommorow.

Feel for Martin

At the end of his Gresini days he was amazing, with his late pace/tire management, just a shame that an injury set back his start at the works team.
Pecco/MM must be semi happy they might not have to deal with him next year. (Hope that's not the case)

JM knows and has shown he has the pace to beat the best, and be deserved of a 1 plate. Sad that this might be his best (only?) chance.

Nice to see Honda and Yamaha making progress.

Great win for JM, withstood the pressure.
Shame for Pedro if he gets a penalty, :( especially as BB was down battling with Zarco, FQ etc. Rules are rules though.

I think the Beast had the pace there to win, flying in clean air.

Still close at the top.
 
Another bit of a meh weekend. Some bits of action but nothing really amazing. :(

Can't believe Pedro! Might not get many chances. Seems to have gained some speed since the latest bike upgrades, just needs to bring it home.
Despite the improvements, the Japanese bikes were still a poor show.


Just hope Phillip Island can produce some awesome races!! :D

BSB and WSBK today was where the excitement was today!

Just feel MotoGP could be better with less aero and electronics. :(

That last BSB race was incredible!!! They gave it everything, really pleased Kyle Ryde won it though.

Toprak is just on another level to everyone else in WSBK imo. To move to BMW, when no one else could come close to making it look like a championship winning bike and do what he has done is incredible. If he hadn't badly injured himself a few races ago he'd already be champion. As much as he makes WSBK worth watching, I'd love to see him in MotoGP, he is that talented that he should be racing the very best in the world.

Nasty looking accident with Bezz and Mav!! Both seam to be ok though.
Will be interesting to see tomorrow if MM can battle with JM.
Pecco needs to pull something out of the bag for Sunday.

Yeah that was pretty damned fast to be jumping off the bike.

I've got a feeling Jorge is going to do it now. Marc will put up a good fight tomorrow but Pecco doesn't look that fast this weekend. 3 more rounds after this. You wouldn't want to go into Valencia needing 2 wins as anything can happen there weather wise it being November. Pecco needs Jorge to have a DNF.
 
Bit of a crazy start to the race. :eek:
Fair play though, cracking ride to the front. JM got too much to loose now really to put up a huge fight.

Oh and congrats to Toprak. He showed everyone that said he could never win the title at BMW. I'd love to see him in MotoGP, he is so so talented but if its going to happen it needs to happen soon as he's just turned 28.

Yeah, amazing achievement. :)
With Yamaha's results this year, and comparing the rest of the BMW guys, just shows where he is. Similar to the Rossi Honda - Yam move.
He's got nothing really to prove now in WSBK, just to rack up the wins.
With the way the MotoGP bikes are his talents might be a bit constrained, but no doubt he would shine.
Just would need the correct package for GP's.
 
Wonder how much it does for peccos mind seeing marc doing what he does with the old bike. He didn't look happy at all today whereas Marc and Martin made beating the lap record look effortless.

Pecco has seemed impervious to pressure but there could be cracks showing now. With todays results Jorge just needs to finish 2nd in each race to win the championship.
 
Always more exciting in the wet! :D
Not quite the results I was expecting.
Shame Miller couldn't get the podium, great ride from Pedro though.

Still uncomfortablely at the top.
