Moto GP Silverstone

[epom]

New thread, the Austria one is gone a bit repeaty and stale.

Who’s going ?? Would love to more than anything but my Mrs. is due that weekend

[AceOfHearts]

I'm going with my dad

Really looking forward to it so fingers crossed the weather holds up

[Alex-e88m5]

Tickets booked hoping for dry weather. Last time we went was the rained off race....

[Neil1300r]

Going with a couple of mates, all three days. Was looking forward to going on the bike. Got out voted, we are going by car

Having missed a trip abroad last year to watch MotoGP really looking forward to this. Hoping Cal does well, but after Austria I'm not convinced

Going on Friday and leaving Monday. Mrs & I, Sister & Brother in law & nephew, and another 2 couples. Staying at Woodlands. Haven't been since 2017 so really looking forward to the whole thing and we've got seats at Vale for the main event. The side entertainment is always excellent aswell.

[MrsMiggins]

I'll be there Thurs to Monday sitting in the Ducati fan stand. Hope to see some excitement.

I was going to go on the Saturday, then I saw the parking prices!

I can't recall paying for parking a car or motorcycle at any motorsport event.

Motorbike pass is free isn't it? It's only payable for a car.

We are woodlands too, arriving Thursday leaving Monday, some hospitality box Saturday and village for Sunday

[Zarco]

I'm toying with the idea of going Saturday. Can't make Sunday.

Crutchlow on the Monster Yamaha and Jake Dixon on the Petronas Yamaha - Maverick isn't riding this weekend. Saw this on Twitter from motorsport.com

Don't think Maverick will be riding anything for the rest for the season.

Be interesting to see how Dixon goes.

I don't see Maverick back either.

Dixon is on a bit of a no win to be honest. The 2019 Yamaha will make it rather hard for him to demonstrate he's up to MotoGP levels tbh. I don't think he is, but the 2019 Yamaha is a slightly stacked deck. The best he can do is a professional performance - not get lapped and make sure he brings it home. Too many home hero wildcards stuff it in the gravel.

But is frankies petronas bike 2019 model? If so, it was second in the championship lest we forget.

Rossi announcement https://twitter.com/ValeYellow46/status/1428022599...

Nothing to do with bikes, unless it's part of the reason he's done with them after this year. Valentino Jr on the way, sort of, theyre expecting a Valentina.

It is a 2019 bike and Frankie has been complaining about it most of the year. It's not competitive this year with the 2021 bike.

Gerloff rode it earlier this year as well and didn’t embarrass himself.

I think they're weighing up their potential riders. Dixon this weekend, Binder next meeting if he impresses on his R1 demo ride at Brno..
