Sickening high side for your moto 2 championship leader at the end of free practice. Looked like he got spat into his tank for good measure as they were both flying through the air. Jake 8th, with a bit to do, although Tony Arbs is .4 clear of anyone.
Over in Misano for this one. Just arrived for the late afternoon stint today, then through the gates early doors for rest of weekend. Forecast showing possible rain Sunday lunchtime onwards. So let’s see if it mixes things up a bit. Trip wouldn’t be complete without the pilgrimage up the mountain.
Bagnania just needs to keep focused for the remaining races and hopefully his rivals have some bad luck. Marquez is clearly sending out a message to his 2025 team mate.
Wow. When you see uploads from them racing at his ranch you never get the impression it’s built on a hillside!
Lots of data crunching tonight. This could be a massive turning point in the championship with back to back races.
Not the closest of racing at the front. Imo the new tyre pressure rule is a large part of the issue as it affects how hard riders can push, and how close they can run to the bike in front.
First race win for Piqueras after a double long lap and he’s not even old enough to qualify for m3 yet lol the bt crew are gonna have to stop rimming David alonso on a weekly basis now.
Less of question mark now with Ogura. People forget he was getting over a big injury last year. Pleased to see another none Spanish/Italian rider on the grid next year tbh.
Ogura was never in doubt (certainly not in this house) its chantra who has no place in moto gp for me. A measly 2 points today, bet he cant wait to get out to Thailand and Indonesia. Dixon should always come out ahead in any conversation that includes Joe Roberts too imo. A decent 5th at a track he hates and has largely been a long way off the top most of the weekend. Has the penny finally dropped?
You have to wonder if the titles in reach especially if it pisses down at a few of the flyaway rounds and its still mathematically possible going into Valencia.
I doubt it but it won’t stop him trying. Next year is going to be fascinating as will be testing the ’25 year bikes which I think is tomorrow. Anyone know if JM place is given to MM at this test? That’s what I would do (same for every rider leaving for the opposition).
