    Shame. Come on MM and Pedro.

  3. Not sure you can have a dull back to back world champion , there must be *something about him.

    Joan Mir was a dull world champion Pecco certainly isn’t imo and he won two of them in a row in the most competitive seasons probably ever, rider and manufacturer wise across the grid.
     
  4. No questions about his skill or desire to win. But. He leaves me a bit …. Meh.
    He comes across as boring.

  5. Lets face it theyre all media personalities now arent they even 93 with is silly dances.
    46 was the last "personality" in moto gp and why i guess a lot of folk conecntrate more on bsb/wsb./imott

  6. Pedro in the interviews after the podium was really funny and hopefully a new personality is coming

  7. MM is in good form. Definitely lurking, ready to pounce on the top step. And he ain’t far off the leaderboard points wise either. Bet Rossi’s sweating a bit :laughing:
     
  8. Moto 2 cut to 12 laps because of the red flag in moto 3 which was also cut to 11 laps.

    Wtf it was only like a 15 minute hold up!

  9. Lovely stuff.
    The cheers that went up when pecco went from 4th to 1st gave me goose bumps
    The beast playing the perfect wing man too.
    Here’s hoping the tnt sport teams tears taste sweet tonight lol.
     
  10. Enea dedicating his podium to his dog who passed away last week :(
    “Gav” apologising for him using the word bastard : unamused:
     
  11. That was a masterclass from Pecco. Good on Ennia also but not sure why he leaves it until the very end to pull that out - think he said he'd pretty much been asleep at the wheel until Marquez passed him - doh. And I think Pecco's celebrations were anything but boring :)

  12. Struggling to get my head around Joe Roberts being offered a moto gp ride apart from his passport colour.
    Doing well this season but still only won 2 races in m2 that were both cut short?
    Whats this obsession with promoting m2 riders before they’ve got some decent experience and dare I say silverware round them?
    He will bomb in MGP albeit in front of a few more thousand fans at COTA.
    Said it sooooo many times before, get rid of silly season it’s ruining the sport and careers.

  13. Id like to see Pedro and wonky arm at the factory KTM next year. Think that would suit everyone but i bet 93s seen too much of the back of that factory Ducati to give it up just yet.
     
  14. Boring race really. Only three notable passes. Baggy superb through first few corners then just was his to lose.
    Celebrations. Hmm. Seen it all before - a la 46. But fair play to him, he’s trying.
    Blooming blue confused me to start with. Must be my age!
     
  15. Crazy weve got to a point where aero on a 220mph straight cant take you past the rider in front. Id love to see some hard data (difference in hp btwn 23-24 bikes for eg) although i doubt that will ever happen.
     
  16. And as much as comms protest otherwise Digi won on a Gresini last year.
     
  17. Half way there. Acosta confirmed for next season.
    Sort of a dilemma for Ducati with MM with his ‘must have factory bike’ noises, except, no its not. Bagy, Martin can both beat him onboard a latest spec bike. So he goes to? Prila, KTM..? Not KTM as, I believe Binder (who?) has a deal to end of 2026.
    Aprilia? to replace Aleix..hmm.
    Or is it just a battle for a full fat ‘factory’ spec bike, possible, not all of the big hitters will get a factory seat though.

  18. I think all of this is correct. Personally I would love to see MM and the Bag Man in the same garage. It would be *interesting/hilarious/frightening/intense* (take your pick). I think JM was a shoein but not sure after yesterday and the last corner today.
    Come on Ducati. Grow some balls!

  19. Just watched the moto2 race. Roberts is like a different rider compared to last year, looking classy. Using racecraft and fast.
    Fermin Aldeguer though…passport colour…surely? o_O:rolleyes:

    So hard to tell these days. Did not expect Binder to be having such a poor show on the KTM this year and crash a lot Miller having a shocker. Bez?
    Maybe it should be a knockout, last 2 in motogp out, top 2 in koto 2 up. That would stir things up!

  20. What's wrong with Worzel Gummidge in race leathers, most are straight batters at the very top level.
