Philip Island Moto Gp (spoilers)

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by Red899, Oct 19, 2023.

  1. BT sport have an evening of PI moto gp classics on right now, mainly Marquez from now on I think but Ive just watched Rossi v Gibbers in 2004. When the WSB boys like Edwards started getting decent rides (Hodgson and big Ruben X excluded lol).

    Lovely Nicky too :heart:

    Should be an interesting weekend if the weather forecast is correct for Sunday.
     
  2. Currently showing Iannone leading on the last beautiful looking Ducati GP bike imho.

  3. Just watched 2015 where Ducati/ianone started to have aero. You can see why they kept on investing in it.
     
  4. I'm on my way to the airport for this. Looks like rain on Sunday.

  5. BT have Casey on comms this weekend for the GP sessions.
    He was just saying that after Rins won on the Honda at COTA it should have been top 10 for the remaining rounds of the season and he thinks Marquez "got lost".
    Sjoild be an interesting listen for the rest of the weekend :upyeah:
     

  6. Wow amazing, what a trip, enjoy :upyeah:
     
  7. You know the schedule has been changed and the MotoGP race is Saturday and the sprint is Sunday (weather permitting).

  8. Catching up on FP1 and the commentators (Charlie) are talking about MotoGP up for sale ? Andy
     
  9. Its a shame that, would have been a bit better if theyd announced it before the start of fp2 imo.

    Bet Pecco's going to have a bit of a sleepless night.
     
  10. I didn't hear that (or see anything on the world wide web) what did they say?
     
  11. Charlie had heard a rumour in the paddock that the majority share holder was probably looking to sell in the next 12-18 months for some ridiculous sum of money like 1billion €. Andy

  14. Is there such a thing as a reliable source annymore after the months and months of contract BS we’ve had to endure? Charlie also seems to be a bit of a spare part on the comms team not sure what he adds, although he’s great on WSB.

    It was great listening to Casey today I have to say and I was never really a fan when he was racing. Made me laugh when hodgy was talking about how something had made him angry and CS said “not as angry as I get looking at those wings”

    Amazing how none of the struggling factories haven’t tried to get him on board development wise (and I don’t mean physically riding the thing). Very clever young man.
     
  15. Anyway….Martin…Vinales…Binder? Baggy doing things the hard way again…
    MM, crash test(fest) dummy of the year.
     
  16. I will ask Charlie and find out the rumours.

    Woke up early this morning and Casey was great on comms, his knowledge proves why he was so good. when he was explaining about the sound of the bike and what it was doing and the wrong lines he was seeing on track and how he rides it so differently.

  17. He was undeniably fast. The racers are on different bikes and importantly, tyres now though. 11 years out of date.
     
  18. Yup I've got tickets for both days anyway.
