I think it was a very hot days. probably still fitter than most of us on here

So let’s be clear, Titanium is not strong enough for Marquez. Wow.

He only has one person to blame, no sympathy from me I’m afraid.

cant see how he can challenge 2020 championship…

Speak for yourself.

Yamaha’s MotoGP engine situation:
No Jerez 1 engines used at Jerez 2, meaning Vinales has already opened 5/5 for the season. 4/5 for Quartararo, Rossi & Morbidelli. Morbidelli’s race engine set to join ‘withdrawn’ list.

All other MotoGP riders have only used 2 engines so far.

What is going on at Yamaha with their engine fiasco? Gremlins in the machine?

Bradl to replace Marquez this weekend

I was only talking to @pricetta about Bradl the other day before hearing about this! Odd coincidence.

After Brad Binder wins today on a KTM, the last premier-class win by a motorcycle not manufactured in either Japan or Italy was Yugoslavia in 1973: Kim Newcombe on a Konig.

Go KTM and Binder!!!

What a race! First factory rider/bike was Rossi??? What the hell is going on! Superb for the fans.

I do like a random stat!
This was the first non-Öhlins win since Toni Elias won the 2006 Portuguese GP Pedrosa’s 2009 Valencia GP.

Another great writeup from Oxley https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/motogp-history-maker-binder-this-is-insane

Great win for KTM and good to see so many up front that normally aren’t

What the heck is going on with Dovi… Can’t see him winning a championship

Oxley covered that in the above article.

F me that Moto 2 crash!!!
