Brilliant race, MM#93 two remarkable 2nd places from 13th on the grid for both Sprint + GP races riding the GP23! He'll have his day soon + wonder if it will come at Mugello where he could rub the VR46 Academy Mafia faces in it in their backyard, Rossi + his foot soldiers hate #93 with a passion and do anything for that victory not to happen!
100%. You can see the orders unfolding on track from HQ (VR46). Some daft lunges resulting in go straight on-ery That last gasp overtake on golden balls won’t have gone down well…
I will stand by my round one prediction that he won’t win a race this season unless there’s exceptional circumstances (ie won’t win in a flat out race) but I’m starting to get concerned. And if he was *ahem impeded at Misano by one of the “vr46 mafia” I’m not sure I could handle the delicious irony. Going to be a great season. Just hope it stays within the lines of decent sportsmanship
I watched the two junior Gp races from Spain earlier. Have to say we’ve got a couple of little gems in there but as with that series they got bummed on the last lap in both races. Oshea the English lad got out manoeuvred while leading race 1 on the final lap and Ogorman the oirish lad got taken out on the final lap in race 2. Real shame but would imagine they will be pushing Whatley for his seat in moto3 next year. Fantastic racing, like 9-10 abreast going into some of the corners, certainly more interesting that BzzzzB It was on TNT sports if anyone’s interested.
M Lav has just done a podcast and mentioned these 2 guys, he said had they have been older he would be looking to sign them , he said that Ogden and Whatley knowing they had no competition for their seats maybe didn't push on as much as he had hoped. But this year they have to because he can sign the 2 new guys next year.
