Is all this stick on mumbo jumbo going to be banned? Motogp has really gone downhill the last few years.
Moto3 is always a laugh. Motogp is look at our stupid looking motorbike.
I think it is all fabulous, cutting edge stuff and shows how on the edge the riders and development is. Rins says he can feel the ears on the back of his bike. Top 6 in FP1 today were 0.15s apart! 4 manufacturers, 5 teams! !Moto3 is always a laugh. Motogp is look at our stupid looking motorbike.
Just shows how on the edge they all are. For more conventional bikes, there is WSBK which is pretty good too. But these prototypes are excellent and I love all the aero gubbins, the more bonkers looking the better.

Quite impressed by Luca Marini again!
Having a relatively decent year to be fair. Ducati the reason or has he improved now he’s out of the shadow. I think last time they went to montegi, Luca won the Moto 2 race, so he clearly goes well there.
I also liked the fact that last week, when the announced the Ducati bikes for next year, and he and Bez were told getting 22 spec not 23 spec, he just said, it doesn’t matter, all Ducatis can win, no problem. I cannot think Martin (who im a fan of too, btw) would be so calm about it!
Some of the press are starting to notice him more and apparently his interviews are great as he is very knowledgable and just tells them how it is! No PR spin, no agenda.
I like the guy. It’d be easy to live on his brother’s coat tails, but he’s impressed a fair few I reckon.
I hope he stays on a Ducati.
Fabio struggling. It’s going to be interesting tomorrow, meant to be dry, but the rain will have cleaned up the track a lot. If cold, the Honda will be strong, it’s always done well in cooler conditions, I think it has decent ‘mechanical grip’ before today, the last pole for the Honda was Silverstone last year, where Friday and Sat were dry but cold for time of year.
So I think Marquez could get away and do it tomorrow.
Zarco will be in pursuit, but hate to say it, we all know what happens when he’s pushing early on at the front!
Binder will do his usual Sunday banzai, but I fear will become the caravan on country road, and have a freight train behind him, pecco will fare better than Fabio, I think, but they will get caught up in a fight for 4th and 5th.
If Miller gets past Binder at the start, he could be the one to challenge Marc. Jack was quickest out the box yesterday on ‘newish’ track, but if Binder gets in front, it’s only Zarco that will stop Marc, or, of,course, Marc himself!
Moto2 is going to be a massive lottery, I still think A Fernandez will do it, BUT we may finally find out why Aaron Canet wears that weird Bow Tie…..
Moto 3…anyones guess! I’m going Oncu or Foggia.

Chuckling at the Marquez comments! And I was one of the sceptics on the Aragon thread.
Incredible by him.
To see guys like Dovi not be able to evolve as Moto GP continues to push boundaries - and boom - he’s only put it on pole.
Seeing where Pecco is can’t help but hope for a wet race tomo but doesn’t seem in the forecast.
Maverick seems a bit below the media radar, but going from 4th. Hmmm. Am not going to jinx anything for him.

king about. I'm embarrassed for the other riders sometimes.It shows he has true talent, he’s been on and off the bike over the last couple of years now, he’s had a recent operation that’s kept him off the bike again, a couple of weeks after being back on a bike he sticks it on pole.
I’m intrigued to see how well Fabio can hold his head together now the pressure is really back on him, I’d love to see him win another championship.
