You think it’s more competitive than GP? Point is Rea just wanted to take the money. So I’ve not much respect for that.
Or win titles, which he did. I don’t get this playground squabbling. Rea excelled in his category, Marquez in his. No one can say for sure how each would fare in the others category. You don’t become a multiple champion (let alone a bona fide World Champion) in any sport by following the money, to even suggest so says a lot more about you than him.

Fabio looking awesome, reckon he might get a point this weekend! Yamaha the only manufacturer not directly into Q2. With Pecco & Bez in Q1 too, Fabio getting beyond the fifth row looks unlikely.
Bestia out.
Poor Bestia Bestia out.
Surely it's Bastia not Bestia

Petrucci on the factory Ducati at Le Man to cover for injured Bastianini.
Be great if he pulled off a decent result.

Good call that, I think ? Be great if he pulled off a decent result.

He's had an Ok run at the end of his career but last year was his chance and they have been lackluster this year so far especially since they were raving about how the bike is even more improved this year.
I'd fk Mav and his psychiatrist off too and throw some money at Fabio / Marquez......
That bike is ready to win championships. AE and MV are not.
I would keep AE as a test rider though as he knows the bike inside out and has had a lot to do with making it what it is now, so we can't knock him too much, but he's not cutting it racing and he's clearly struggling with the sprint format too. There's better and younger riders ready and waiting to take that seat, that also may be willing to take a punt for a reasonable, but maybe not factory yam or HRC level salary, to get on a better bike.
I thought KTM might try that but they haven't so..... yeah. It would be amazing if Aprilia did just that. Who do you reckon would bite first - Fabio or Marc?I'd fk Mav and his psychiatrist off too and throw some money at Fabio / Marquez......

Marquez back, and as if by magic he gets his long lap penalty "annulled"

Great, hope he is able to take it to the flock (pride, den, colony, drove) of Ducati's. https://www.visordown.com/news/racing/motogp/marc-...
