MotoGP 2019

Post by Muppet »

MotoGP kicks off this weekend with the under lights Qatar GP and the Losail circuit.

If you've never seen a Moto3 race, you are simply missing some of the best damn racing you will ever see, anywhere, ever!

MotoGP, the other white meat, get some on your fork!

‘Majority’ of MotoE fleet ‘destroyed’ by fire

Supposed to be a support card for the MotoGP at 5 rounds in Europe.

Queue the Benny Hill music... :wtf:

Even though I've just watched the replay, I did not move or breath for a good 25 mins, sooooooo close but can't complain about the result.

Moto3 just went full retard. Only 19 finishers as they used each other for braking. Crazy!

I think George has forgotten how to race at the front.

I sat down and watched a replay a few weeks back, and the bride walked past and said "Is this like that demolition derby game you play Sundays?" LOL

She thought Moto3 looked like Wreckfest!

Moto3 was very combative last night, real last man standing stuff and George Lorenzo went bowling in MotoGP.

Fantastic race, the straight line difference with the yamaha was quite interesting, Quartararo did keep with them for quite a while with some impressive braking though. I had no idea who was going to get that win, the whole time they were both in attacking distance.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

That was incredible.

The speed that Suzuki had in the corners was epic, but lacked the power in the straights, could only just keep up with the slipstream.
He set MM up beutifully the lap before with the run around the outside, only to cut back and get him on the inside across the line on the last lap, couldnt believe it.

Quartararo was amazing yesterday. A rookie and leading for as long as he did. Shame he couldn't win but it took one of the best to beat him.

Zarco will be a Yamaha test rider next year with wild card rides. Hopefully someone with his speed can test new bits at race speed so that Yamaha can compete next year. Maverick has awesome mid race pace but can't handle that fuel load to start with. If Yamaha can pull their finger out, they will really stick it too HRC.
