Whilst on a totally different level to the injuries MM has had, what is as common as a collar bone break, I didn’t realise the scaphoid break could have beed a career ending injury. Fingers crossed JM listens to his body and can move forward for the rest of the season. Andy
Admittedly no moto gp rider but my scaphoid never healed and it still gives me a huge amount of gip, I can’t even put my hand flat on a surface, do push ups etc.,..and after a few hours on a sports bike I often feel like crying
MotoGP has rushed through, sorry, implemented a fully thought out rule change for Qatar to try and avoid a repeat of the start debacle at COTA. Still no confirmation if the riders who “forced” Mike Webb to abandon the start will be penalised or not. On a different note, in the motoring press, the rumour mill is surpassing itself with Toprak linked to Honda and Acosta so disillusioned, breaking his contract with KTM and being linked with VR46.

Most of the *headlines seem to be coming from an interview Miller did with an Aussie podcast lol. Agree with expat Jack my heart sank when I heard JM was out for effectively the season. It’s really taken something away from the championship this year.
Can’t believe how many articles I’ve read in the last week or so about the rules for rushing off a grid. Only MM.
Sprint race is on free to air Quest from 7pm Saturday and the whole race day starts at 2pm Sunday if you don’t have TNT.
Martin declared fit, Thursday 10th, https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2025/04/10/martin-declared-fit-for-qatar-gp/523479. Andy
Great to see Martin coming back. Be happy to see him finish the weekend with no offs, from there, hope he makes a full recovery. Different bones, but have had broken ribs twice, in the same place to add insult to injury. Still get grief after the last one 8 years ago. Soo, Baggy back to the front this weekend?
Depends on whether Mike Webb has the balls to dish out penalties that should have been dished out at COTA. Still think MM is your man though ……. if he doesn’t get a ride through. Andy
If MM wins this weekend he’s won the title. Peccos head will be gone and as if his brother will beat him to the title on a year old bike. Our only hope is 93’s perpetual stupidity for a decent season.
Poor old Jorge didn’t look comfortable did he lol. Arm pump the lot. Still think within 2 seconds is a decent achievement https://www.crash.net/motogp/results/1067282/1/2025-qatar-motogp-lusail-friday-practice-results
