MotoGP

[Patchelicious]

Back to the gravel trap, with Marc, Iannone, A. Espargaro and almost everyone else. Hectic Hector bagged a 4th on a 2014 Ducati.

Oh

[bertusras]

So the season is done and dusted. Anyone else stupidly excited for tomorrow?

 

Also,

 

BRAD

M'FING

BINDER

 

If only we can get Darryn to also shave his head, maybe he'd be faster!

For me, the best thing about Moto2 used to be the podium. Hearing the MotoGP bikes revving.

Now the best part will be Brad.

Will I watch Moto3 religiously like I did this year? Probably not.

I used to watch Moto3 and the start of Moto2 then go and do some stuff around the house and come back for the finish and watch MotoGP. Will have to change my strategy next year.

GO Brad.

That Honda looked like a 600cc against a 1000cc Ducati down the straight yesterday, crazy how much speed they lose coming out the corners. Interesting that MM says it's not the engine performance that's lacking, it the elec cutting in to reduce wheelies. So the power is there, just cannot get it to the ground without losing alot of meters ...

 

Lorenzo back to his usual type of winning again from the front, but MM almost had him there at the end!

 

Tomorrow is gonna be real interesting!

And who was 3rd fastest at the speed trap? Suzuki - leaps and bounds!

 

facmp, first day of 2017 Testing starts tomorrow, all the riders moving teams get their first crack at their new (and hopefully factory new) bikes. Eg. Jorge to Ducati, Maverick to Yamaha, Tech 3 team mates moving to KTM, two rookies at Tech 3, hopefully a GP17 and 2017 RC213 on show. Quite excited!

Most awesome weekend of bike racing! Even qualifying was exciting, unreal...

 

Binder with another legendary drive! 

 

Interestingly saw an interview with MM done on Thursday where he said exactly what was showed during the race. As the race goes on, when the bike gets lighter and the tyres more worn, this year's Honda just clicks better and he picks up speed. Also amazing to have heard just how deep in trouble the actually were on the season opening races.

 

Also looking forward to tomorrow - but will have to check the interwebs for reports.
