MotoGP 2019: Warning, definitely will contain Spoil

[UncleFester]

It's just not the day for VR46 is it and meanwhile, Marquez continues to amass points.

I wonder just how long Honda will tolerate Lorenzo binning stuff whilst his teammate continues to ride it.

Well deserved for Vinales though.

Not a particularly great race imho. Quat did some proper learning today, proves there is a fair bit of talent outside the helmet with 93 on it. And the Yamaha seems like it goes round corners ok now too. Some of the moves Vin was putting in at high speed had me wincing a bit! Marcymark obvs gonna win the championship now, but the real race is for second. I'd like Rins to do it tbh.

MM making it very difficult for everyone else isn't he.

66 degrees baby!

Extra thick rear disc...heavily vented. Double sensors (crosschecking each other's signal)

I saw Fabio losing his rag a bit during free practice...


Rossi like sensor too (surface temperature, core temperature, air temperature and pressure) Rolling circumference can calculate air pressure once calibrated for tyre deflection.

Hard to see past MM winning this, Quat needs to calm down a bit, he's fast but there are other riders on the track. What counts is Sunday, not FP2

I reckon if anybody will challenge MM it'll be Rins, this track plays to the Suzuki's strengths almost the most of any track on the calendar.

Is anybody else at all excited to see MotoE?

I can hear scraping knee sliders.

That is the only positive.

I don't care if e bikes eventually lap faster.
I know they can smoke a tyre like a 500cc 2 stroke and send a rider to the moon if throttle happy.
They could be spectacular when burning.
The technology will aide future transport.

However, for a racing spectacle for entertainment for emotion for the human senses it just sucks.
The onboards are almost painful.
They go beep-beep through pitlane.

MotoE was different for sure. Not a fan of that qualifying method at all.

I reserve final judgement for after the race, but I'm quietly confident we'll get some decent racing. It can't possibly be worse than Moto2!

Midpoint during the MotoGP.

Tyre chess in progress.

[edit] Those Michelins did well.

Good work by Mr Crutchlow.

Thought the MotoE was pretty good really. They look a bit of a beast to ride and when they crash they stay crashed!

Yeah I enjoyed the motoE race, I felt a bit robbed by the red flag!

That was amazing.

#93 miles faster than the rest, during rain, on slicks.

Rins vs Marquez in the pitlane was funny too.

Not the most exciting race was it even when MM almost lost it on that right hander.

Anyway, even if Dovi wins every race and Marquez finishes 2nd Marc still wins.

Word is Jack Miller is awaiting on Jorge to make a decision for 2020. Yep, Loz could be taking his place in the Primac team.

Well he's been a chocolate teapot at Honda that's for sure.

Not the most interesting of races but you can't really blame that on Marquez

I bet the competition is wondering what the hell it has to do!

Have a guess.

Clue: E-bike paddock.

How about we pray for Honda to make 2020 the greatest race season ever.... let Jorge go, get Rossi and Marq on same kit, no team orders and lets see who ends up on top?

Rossi is not the Rossi he once was (or the players have changed).<<<Being kind.

He will not win another title in MotoGP.
He may not win another race.

He's well handy in a Rally car.

How long can a person who is a winner carry on?

Sat on the tank.....Marquez was wank.

Slowest through the time trap....the rest were crap.

Enjoyable Race.
