MotoGP - Catalunya

[LukeBrown66]

Guys is simply not fit for the ride, what amazes me is the mass disappointment from the comms, he has done it 3 times this year, and they almost sound withdrawn when Acosta leads after 8 laps from 25th. It makes me sick

This kid is the best we have ever seen, forget McPhee, he is a nowhere man who cant take ANY pressure, lets have some huge pushing of Acosta as this kid is very, very special.

[ajprice]

Basically a lottery between the top 15, nobody wanted to lead, backing off and looking around .

Change of rules next year, Moto3 will just be a 1 lap race.

[jjones]

That was crazy! Excellent stuff.

Vinales going with medium tyres and Quartararo on the safe option hard rear.

[stevemcs]

Anyone else wanting Marquez to win ?

[stevemcs]

Just not today

I wonder if Marquez is considering moving teams ?

The honda is hard to ride , he's not maybe never going to be a 100% fit so would moving to a more rider friendly bike like Suzuki/aprillia kick start his career ?

Honda built it for him - back to the drawing board perhaps?

Gaah fabio don't biff it with those leathers unzipped!!!



Go Zarco!!!!!!!1

Fabio

[anonymous-user]

They should DQ Fabio, that was insane.

[The Road Crew]

Agreed. Thank goodness he didn't bin it, that'd have been very messy.

Cracking ride from Zarco.

Another absolute shocker from HRC - should've kept Pedrosa!

Yeah, I don't think Honda would have listened to Pedrosa. But what has transpired is great for him and KTM!

Is it me or does Miguel not get the plaudits he deserves from pundits and the like. This is a guy who was nowhere early season, like all the KTM's, and gets two podiums in a week, wins two races, one where he made everyone look silly last year, yet it is treated like a run of the mill Marquez victory. He was magnificent today, that lap chart was insane a few tenths difference in about 20 laps, quite why KTM have offered Binder a 3 year deal and not him I don't know, maybe like the boys says he is after Yamaha or Ducati, would sign him right now, over Franco Vinales Rins etc.

Maybe the riders not wanted to be tied down to ktm for multiple years ?

My heart was in my mouth when Fabio's leathers came undone. I beat Hodsgon in calling for a black flag. Had he come off at that point, his leathers would have peeled like a banana skin. I imagine that Dorna will be having something to say on this, irrespective of the reason behind it

[ajprice]

Fabio didn't want to talk about the suit being open, so still no idea whether something broke or he opened it. He was able to zip it up again on the slow down lap. Strange.

[ajprice]

Moto E start delayed. Granado's (?) pole position bike wasn't working and he raised his hand and got taken off the grid. I think he's starting from pit lane now.

[doogalman]

Fabio really should have known better. Race control should have black flagged him on safety grounds. I was led to believe that the chest protector was a mandatory piece of equipment.
Or isFabio the chosen one to win the title !-)
