Post by Dr. Pain »

It starts this weekend at Qatar but only moto3 and moto2. MotoGP is cancelled due to coronavirus.

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.

The teams were already there for a test, so there's not the same risk of people coming from countries where the virus is already widespread (and if those people are infected they've already spread it, there's no added risk by running the races).

I fell back in my chair gasping seeing it this morning!!!

They are 2 lucky boys, Rossi already telling one of the riders causing the crash that he is a fark-tard!!!

I thought Moto2 was bad enough (I rage quit viewing, thinking he had to have died after that...), only to have another huge crash in Moto GP. Tough night for the bikes... glad everyone survived!!

Fausto Gresini is in hospital with Covid 19. He was in a coma but they bought him out though he is still ventilated.

That is sad to hear. :(

I still remember him crying on the pit wall when Michele Pirro won the Moto2 race the round after Marco Simoncelli died.
