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

The long season came down to the last race, and Jorge Martin is a worthy champion. Bagnaia put up a great fight. Nobody has ever won as many races as him, and lost.
 
I've become a fan of Moto3.
Love the small engines, light weight and narrow tires.
The bikes are so equal, overtakes are constant.
I'm reminded of the Dunlop family dominating 125 & 250cc Irish road races.

KTM is in big trouble. Apparently, they are cutting back on MotoGP spending. They are going to support 2025 commitments, but development will be reduced, and 2026 is unclear.
 
And I'll be at the one after.... at the Chicane (Stand 15 from memory). :)
 
Martin is seriously busted up. Smashed a foot and both hands/wrist. Most didn't consider him a serious contender for the championship this year, but you never know. The dude can ride.

What a shame. They claim he will start the 1st race, but the pain may be too much to endure. :nightmare:

He high sided during testing, which smashed one hand and foot. Had surgery. Recovering. At that point they said he may start the 1st race. Then, when out training again, he crashed again, and this time smashed his other hand. Recovery time stated as 8-10 weeks. I doubt he will be out that long, but I also doubt he's starting the 1st race.
 
Marc put the smack down on the field during the first race. Won pole, Sprint, and full GP race. And it wasn't even close.

When Marquez was beating up on Rossi, I was butt hurt and didn't like him. He was just TOO good. Now, I'm a fan.

Davide Tardozzi, team manager, when asked how Marquez fit into the team, said that Marc was very respectful, hardworking, and always prepared. No drama created on his part. Peco, also, is creating no drama. Hope the team harmony continues. It can't be easy for two different guys, same team, pushing for the championship.
 
I want to see all the factories win this year. Watching them improve will be interesting.
 
Bummer for Vinales in Qatar getting 2nd then demoted to 14th for tire pressure violation per (RRW)

How can a rider actually deal with that while trying to fight for the podium?

Seems like a nit-picky rule.
 
Marc had to ride behind his brother during one race, because his tire pressure was too low. He did so for most of the race, then pulled ahead in the last few laps to win. Vinales didn't know his pressure was off? Typically, riding behind someone causes the pressure to increase, and he rode in 2nd place, so his tires may have been particularly low.
 
Nice to see 3 different brands on the podium @ Silverstone.

Absolute bummer for Quartararo, guess when the regulations change in 2027 there will be no more shape shifters allowed?
 
How sad it is, to have your bike fail, after you clawed your way to the front… :disgust:
However: :applause:
Hurray for Bezzecchi
Hurray for Zarco
Hurray for Marquez

Weird race, almost a Homeric saga :dejection:
