  3. Anyone else want to win their first race, give me a shout.

    Fucking brilliant properly made up and had a wee tear in my eye when he was being interviewed.

    Hopefully crack on from here and a home gp win would also be just lovely.

  4. Master bagnaia is turning into a bit of a machine isnt he. Another impressive show he’s put on there when it looked like bez was the one with the out and out pace all weekend.

    Brad binder lol. Not sure what the bt team were on about saying they didn’t like the rules. It’s fucking corner cutting ffs however minimal, give an inch they’ll take a mile etc…

    Talk of Dixon joining Fabio next year too. Can’t see it myself but at least he’s getting spoken about as a potential.

  5. A brilliant weekends racing across all classes we all must be able to agree on that one lol
     
  6. I've only seen the Sprint and main race, with three Ducati's fighting for the championship this year, what's not to like about it with the Japanese domination over the past decades.

  7. All 5 manufacturers in the top 10 yesterday (quite a high attrition rate mind).

  8. So it looks more and more like 93 will be at Honda next year, KTM saying hes not part of their "brand strategy" and i doubt Aprilia would want to pay his wages.
    Doesnt really leave anywhere else does it?
     
  9. I think he just needs to hope that Honda get given concessions pretty quickly.

  10. I'd like to see him a Ducati. After all there are 5 teams/chances though VR46 might be an outsider.

  11. Cant ever see that happening for so many reasons. Not least wages and the fact they don’t really need him.
     
  12. Surprised they havent got them already!
     
  13. Crash have just published an article saying that KTM is his only option.
    They highlight he rode KTM in the 125 class, he is part of the Red Bull stable. Red Bull could afford him.
    PS could this be why Jack M is making these comments?

  14. Does make you wonder why Pol was there this weekend and posting gushing messages about the team he’s not even finished a race with yet.
     
  15. Regarding MM, he could always do the cardinal sin and sign for Yamaha like Rossi did, but in reverse order.

  16. Just wanted to chip in and big up Jake Dixon. Having another Brit in the shop window is great news.

  17. I thought we had another Johan zarco situation with jake and can safely say my dogs jumped out of their skin when he crossed the line. Bit of a saucy *ahem overtake on Ogura towards the end but we’ll take it :)

  18. He wants to win another championship though and they’ve only got two bikes on the grid. He’d be better off staying at Honda surely.
     
  19. who knows, maybe he thinks the front end of the Yamaha is that good he can make the difference.

    it’s funny because, and I’m putting this out there, If you look back. More and more evidence mounts that Pedrosa was the best rider never to be champion in the modern era. He was so close so many times and always the ‘only other guy who could ride a Honda’ and even then it was biting him regularly.

    I’m convinced if he’d switched to Yamaha a few years before he finished, maybe even 2011 when Rossi went to Ducati, I’m absolutely convinced he would have been world champ.

    pedrosa is better than Lorenzo, there I said it…. He was tough mentally, able to ride around issues, a skill I think Lorenzo only learnt later in his career.

    the reason for the comparison… well everyone thought the Honda was a front running bike then also, I personally don’t think it’s been a championship bike since the V5…. Hayden rode the best bike Honda have ever made. Since then it’s been down to great talents who have been able to ride the lightening just enough to survive

  20. History has a habit of repeating itself, so sooner or later Honda & Yamaha will be back in the groove.!.....take your pick who has that lightbulb moment first.
