MotoGP - Texas (COTA)

[Freakuk]

No mention of this, unless I've missed it.

I've got no idea who is going to win this, stats will say Marc Marquez given he's won every premier class race there bar the last one in 2019, it's e left handed track which is preferred and his current recovery would preference anyway, couple of weeks off to get some more strength/conditioning he has to be favourite, but he's made some mistakes and crashed more than anyone else this season.

Pecco and Fabio have to be the main contenders to beat Marc, it's going to be between those 3 IMO.

Im going to throw the 2 Suzukis in the mix i think they might go well there .And current champ JM is due a good result .

[poo at Paul's]

Miller, rins, Fabio

MM93 is looking properly "on it" this weekend, great to see a Repsol Honda making crazy shapes all the way around the track again; Taka and Pol are going well too so looking good for Honda this weekend. Ducati are looking strong too; looking forward to seeing how Zarco goes after his op and Bestia is looking like a dark horse again.

Fabio is in the mix for the podium doing it all himself again; will be interesting to see if Dovi can get a points finish this weekend.

MM looking good alright.

[Skyedriver]

Miller, Marquez, Oliveira.

Fernandez, Gardner, Bezzecchi, (or Dixon as a long shot).

Foffia, Fenati, Binder, (or McPhee if it's wet)

Maverick gone off on a walkabout again?

I think Maverick has a very good reason.

Jeez that track is rough. Anyone with arm pump issues gonna be sore after this weekend.

Pecco not out of the championship yet ??

[MrGman]

It’ll certainly show how close to 100% MM is, 45minutes round there must be pretty tough!

A few races back FQ was probably thinking it was as good as his championship, now he must really be fearing FB, will we see any of his nerves return?

[Skyedriver]

Apologies, hadn't realised about Mavericks loss.

[boxedin]

That was deeply unpleasant. I can't believe Acosta walked away from that.

In better news, McPhee looked awesome.

[FourWheelDrift]

Should call it, time schedules plus previous laps + last few restart laps = race.

[montymoo]

Jesus.
How have they all walked away from that.

[FourWheelDrift]

They're talking about how it's all been made safer. I think with suit airbags and soft air fences the young riders feel they are protected if they crash and so take bigger chances and are more aggressive with racing.

[hiccy18]

Feel sorry for Oncu tbh. Can't believe Acosta is just walking about, he head butted the barrier.

WTF! Ridiculous result!

[FourWheelDrift]

I wonder what clause Gino Borsoi found in the little yellow book to get full points and a race win for an 8 laps race red flagged and restarted with his rider not finishing it.

[hiccy18]

Bit of a get out of jail for Acosta, again, although not grudging him it. Foggia doing well keeping heat under his heels.

Yay John!

[ddom]

No words. What a horrible thing to witness. I cannot believe Acosta walked away from that, the suits etc did a great job. Shocking.

[FourWheelDrift]

Gardner way too wide into that corner. Fernandez is being gifted the title <--- he did say he didn't want to move to MotoGP before wining the Moto2 title.
