I like Pecco, but Martin has ridden very well, even with a soft tire choice that bit him the previous race.
He answered back with a double at the next outing. Think Pecco is more
in the hot seat than Martin, so the pressure lands more on Pecco's program.
In WBSK, it'll be interesting to see how Raz comes to grip with the BMW, even though he can't test yet.
He has to basically wait a month due to abiding to his previous contract.
Lots of talk/vids of Rea switching from Kawasaki to Yamaha.
Ioanne returning to riding in WSBK on a Duc, will add to the excitement.

Only 7 points between Martin & Bagnaia now with 2 races & a sprint to go.
Wow, MotoGP world is gaga about Marc Marquez testing his year old Ducati. Me too.
I'll be amazed if he doesn't win the championship.
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.

Anthony Gobert is looking a little worse for wear these days... So sad.

MotoGP words; This will be one exciting race.
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.

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!

Some bright young race reporters here with good insights.
This Moto3 race is amazing, engines sound good. Many overtakes.

I've only recently been watching Moto3. I'm amazed at all the bad moves resulting in crashes in this beginner class. Every race seems to have an attrition rate of 50% DNF.
Not at all thrilled by the crashes, appalled at the stupid moves by the inexperienced riders.
Bikes bound and tumble so easy, but the riders all seem unhurt.
I am finding Moto3 bikes fascinating, single cylinder 250cc, minimum weight 326 lb rider included. Bike weight must be about the same as the rider.
Without an identical lightweight class in MotoAmerica, no US riders will ever make it to MotoGP.
