Zarco. Pit-lane start tomorrow. Is that from the line at the end of the garages, or around the corner on the inside of turn one where the grid spots are painted onto pit-lane?
Has FQ lost it?? Looks like he’s been sucked into the peloton. MM will be doing handstands. If his arm’s better...
Marquez out for 2 to 3 months. https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/08/22/marc-marquez-ruled-out-for-two-to-three-months/340857
I read somewhere this week that Yamaha’s request to unseal some of their engines for ‘safety reasons’ had been either rejected or dropped. Something to do with valve train failures and the sudden resultant loss of power (speed) endangering other riders. Apparently they are almost out of engine allocations for this year so have reduced max rpm to save engines. Resultant loss of power could explain qualifying and results, especially in Austria.
For me it's one of the best motogp season's for sometime and keeping me interested,as we all know this could be anybodys title this year for the taking without MM being around,which is great for us punters.

He should sacrifice this season for some health and fitness. He’s a young fit man and will bounce back big style.
Dovizioso-Ktm: a mistake not sign a contract https://www.valentinorossi46.it/ktm-dovizioso-spunta-un-retroscena/
Will be interesting to see if Honda decide to bring in another rider or continue with Bradl for the rest of the season.
I've just got back from a early ride out and i see our man standing there with two laps left,when are the brits going to learn consistently wins you titles.
It is such a shame that Zarco has been penalised over last week’s accident, I watched Neil Hodgson do a frame by frame replay and it really was a racing incident with no blame to either party. In fact, Hodgson said that as Zarco had completed the manoeuvre, Morbidelli should have been prepared for Zarco having to shut off earlier and given him space. I read on the BBC website that Marc Marquez’s second surgery was after “a domestic accident”. All I can say is that it takes some force to bend one of those titanium plates when it is screwed in! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/53876553
Great ride by Dixon, and brilliant by my man bezzecchi . Edit Bezzecchi gets the win martin demoted exceeding track limits.
What a remarkable season we're having in Motogp,as for Maverick baling out with style that makes my sunday rides out look like dull as dishwasher water.
