We was there too. I saw Valentino’s first UK race and his last… what a star. He will be missed but it is the right time for him to retire. I wish him well in his new ventures… I had a fabulous ride in and a quick ride home, way too fast following a mate on his Tuono. Fun but wow…..
Great racing in WSBK at Magny-Cours................ spoilt by race direction! It seems the madness of Motogp has now spread to WSBK, Toprak losing his win in the short race for barely/questionably touching the green with no advantage gained. It seems Kawasaki raised the objection, so shame on them!! I've always been a patriotic Brit/Rea supporter, but now I'll be rooting for Toprak to go on and win the championship. He's always given the impression of being an honourable guy, I'm sure he will answer this the best way possible - on the track. (rant over )
Only just got around to watching the moto 2 race aragon and oh what a surprise Lowes crashes out again. Thought he had got over that habit end of last year but apparently not.
Blimey mate, a little harsh. A third of the field crashed out on that race Sam was unlucky enough to be one of them. As you said it's no longer the norm but unfortunately as soon as he does people immediately jump on the "back to his old ways" bandwagon
Just seen the announcement that Ducati are to supply the electric bikes for MotoE 2023-2026! Didn't see that coming...... - I've read statements/interviews from the company not so long ago saying that they were sticking with petrol engines for the foreseeable. Ducati and electrics........ what could possibly go wrong? (I suffered a Multistrada for a couple of years) But seriously, it sounds like they'll be pushing the boundaries of battery weight/performance which can't be a bad thing.
Another cool save from Misano yesterday, this time from Marquez Marc Marquez sent skywards before superman save | 2021 #EmiliaRomagnaGP - YouTube
Yes the save was cool but I bet his nuts were a bit warm after that landing Oh, and er, 2.55am Dougie?
Well, at our age you have to combine tasks to save energy, and there’s always the risk of, er, of er, um, er, ah yes, forgetting what one was doing.
Congratulations to Fabio Quartararo on the 2021 MGP world championship and the first ever French rider to win the premier class.....ello ello! Vive La France!!
Well deserved world title for Fabio, and well done to Sam Lowes for winning the Moto 2 race,and to Marc for his first win this year on a clockwise circuit The futures looking great for Moto GP can't wait for the 2022 title fight!
He seems a really likeable, humble fella too. …..great for MotoGP. Good to see another manufacturer rather than the Big H winning again as well.
Me too! Everyone willing Aleix for the victory at last (and leads the championship for now!!). I think Martin would've been linched if he took the win (not that he made it easy for Aleix).
