Spoiler Alert: MotoGP (or any other race) thread for immediate disscussion of races.

The Moto2 crash is the big story.
Watching the video I was wondering if riders 2 & 3 crashed because they froze when rider 1 went down. No it looks like there was a slippery spot on the track they each hit in succession.
However some of the following riders did crash themselves.
Any weirdness happening in front of a rider distracts their attention. Coming up on a crash scene in a very fast corner, bad.
Suzuki could do better, but Rins and Mir don't know how to qualify so good, they'll start mid pack.
Echo that. Not the most exciting race, esp. after Bagnaia went down. Moto 2 was more entertaining, I thought.
The team was ascending, winning podiums, bikes look gorgeous.
Now the team is assending, just doing their hours till they find a new job.
It all shows through with the drop in results, and fk-ups.
Yeah it's a shame. Rins and Mir will be fine in the end, they're both too good--but you gotta feel for all the support staff, must be hard for them especially. I wonder what the biz rationale was for pulling the plug.
For my money Moto 3 has just been the best racing to watch, what a killer finish last weekend!
Wow, THE biggest bad feeling felt by any rider after a race……… Aleix Espargaro poor guy, thought the race was over, one lap early.
Everybody has a bad day.

Especially Nacagami, face planting Bagnaia's rear wheel and taking him out as well as Rins! On the first corner.....
I was there today doing a Ridge trackday, super hot for us whiny/fussy PNW folks. Last trackday in June was 30 degrees cooler for the high temp than today.
Apparently Kayla is the first gal to win a race in MA (Moto America). Elena Meyers was the only other gal, pre-MA to win one I think @ Sonoma (Sears Point).

Something I heard from a Danilo Petrucci interview about Moto America: American race tracks are car tracks. So their surfaces are rather crude and dangerous compared to European motorcycle tracks.
He's been racing all the best racks in the world, so I can understand his disappointment.
It would be nice to ride on tracks that were strictly for bikes.
Seems his unsurmountable problem in MotoGP was his size, just too tall and heavy to gain a tenth on the straights.
Honestly have no desire to ride when it's 70 degrees or warmer when leaving home.
Lot's of distracted idiots on the road these days, so riding in my area is way less pleasant.
Enjoyed watching Motoamerica @ Brainerd Minnesota, some epic battling going on.
Super sad a father racer passed away from a riding practice incident on Friday.
However, the sentiment was to continue, as that's what the rider who passed, would want.
Great battles in all classes with some unfortunate issues battling for the win.
Not often does a complete fork & front wheel get ripped off a bike, while leading by 3 seconds +.
Also in WSBK, Mr. Rea, has more people messing with him, then in the recent past 5-6 years.
Spoils my commitment to a turn with the likelihood of oncoming vehicles in the apex.
Because of lush summer foliage here, all curves and corners are blind. Around the corner may be a deer crossing, bicyclists or people walking.
We may seem fast and reckless to most drivers and cruise riders, but sport riding on these roads is low speed compared to on track.
My favorite roads are mostly empty of cruisers, and I never see other sport riders on them.
Fact is I ONLY see sport riders on highways. I have to think they only understand straight lines and high speed.
Unfortunate repetitive Merrill ads spoiling the action, but the tire grip confidence is unbelievable.
Worth a gander for a few minutes anyway.

First 7 riders all finish inside 1 second!!!
Bummer this is the end of Suzuki MotoGP…
