    This video is 11 months old, but I like it.
    Why Suzuki left motorsport? Good question mostly answered, but I think quitting all their motorsport support was the result of very poor judgement by executive management.

          Is this the only running GP thread? I’m really enjoying this season.

          I was not a Marquez fan before this year, but for the sake of unwasted talent I was hoping the Ducati would work out for him. Now I find myself cheering like I’ve never cheered for anything before.

          I think Martin is fast but is lacking technical knowledge to be the best choice for the red team. I also have a hard time seeing home be a good teammate for Peco. So it will be interesting to watch things pan out.

          It seems like the other European bikes are catching up, and even Yamaha is making some progress. It’s a little scary for Honda though. They have such a racing history that I don’t think they’ll follow Suzuki’s path, at least I hope not.

          I would love to see BMW jump in soon =D. Waiting for WSBK races to see Toprak’s progress is killing me.

            Joe Robert looked like the Real Deal at Italy. I'm hoping this was not just a one-off event. Fingers crossed...

              MotoGP is having the closest races this season of any motorbike series I've seen.

                Rins signed a two-year extension contract to stay with Yamaha on their factory team. He's had serious injury issues over the course of his Yamaha time, so it's great to see him get an extension. He proved his value during the Suzuki days. Good guy wins!

                  Marc Marquez found his mojo in Spain. Won both the Sprint and the regular MotoGP race in dominant fashion. It was a low grip track, where all the fancy traction control, ride height, ect, devices had less impact. It was just Marc and a slippery track...and nobody came close. I'm happy for him.

                  And BTW, did anyone catch a view of Marc's girlfriend? Holey moley! What a babe!
