Was an interesting first race mate. To be fair, concerned about Yamaha, think they will struggle big time!

Looks like Ducati and Honda domination for me

Like you say though, funny old game when the factory teams are poor. Something seriously wrong there

Riding a factory Ducati must be a dream but a jinx for many for sure

Ride of the day, AEsg on the Aprillia, did well for me.

Maybe Suzuki come strong

Hi All

They've just shown highlights of the Jerez test down here, and I know "a test is a test", but Peco looked awesome .45 seconds ahead of everyone.
Bastianini looked great on his first time out on what he's calling his "big boy" bike.
Year of the Ducati??? I F'in hope so, been a while......

Hi All

Don't know what they showed in the UK , but they showed a few montages of Vale's career down here, all pretty emotional stuff.
Gonna be a bit wierd without him, glad it was a good race though.

Just watched a brilliant film for any bike fans. MotoGP films, unlimited. Marquez story of his 2019 campaign. Unbelievable, fitness, thrills, spills and more

That’s Moto GP, whilst I agree, we don’t want anybody getting hurt I cannot help it’s nothing but a get me out and a publicity stunt, do they just start Moto GP racing at 18!

It’s a snob sport at the end of the day, rich parents funding their kids and living the dream, sad but true

Hi all

Big

for Dorna, one of the very few governing bodies more interested in safety of their participants than $$$$
18 year minimum in all moto classes from 2023 and ongoing discussions regarding grid numbers in the Junior classes.
Gotta give credit where it's due

There are a lot of bikes Jon I agree, dangerous game though motor sport, crashes into the first corner from the start are part and parcel of the sport as everybody tries to get in front, most of the others are an exception to this

Could be something in what you mention but generally after a lap there is a decent spread of bikes, could split them into two classes but there probably would not be enough time in the day?

The Moto 3 crash is a tricky one, you could say he cut him up but he could clearly see him too?

The majority of them in GP classes are highly experienced riders who have progressed, watch the 250 talent cup etc, about 4 1/2 foot tall and 12 years old, they start early and progress quickly

The worst ones do seem to be bike to bike contacts though

Accidents, look at Marquez’s career! Incredible really and I guess this dictates how successful you will be, if your body can take it and you have not destroyed it that much that you can still cannot be competitive

Watched a documentary on him a while ago, nearly ended his career when he rode in the 250 class, ran into the back of somebody and nearly blinded himself, think his eyesight has not been 100% since! A quick google whilst I’m bored

IT’S not supposed to be this way. If you crash 27 times in a MotoGP season, you’re meant to end the year with more hospital visits than trophies. Instead, Marc Marquez has been crowned as 2017 world champion as much because of his crash tally as in spite of it.

2018

On October 21st, 2018, at Motegi, Marc Márquez wrapped up his fifth MotoGP title in six seasons, with three races to spare. He did so despite having suffered his 18th crash of the season so far during FP4, the front washing out as he released the brakes in Turn 7. He led the MotoGP class in crashes at Motegi, and would continue to do so through the final race in Valencia, amassing a grand total of 23 crashes at official events throughout the 2018 season.

He had gone one better in 2018 than he had the year before, finishing second to Sam Lowes in 2017, ending up with 27 crashes to Lowes' 31. In 2016, he was a lowly third in the crash rankings, ending the season with 17 falls, behind Cal Crutchlow and Jack Miller with 26 and 25 crashes respectively.

What’s he on this year, must be near on 15 after the injury!

Imagine the cost for Honda, not to mention his 14 million salary! Big bucks motorsport £

Crazy

Hi Chris,

Too many bikes on track in the lower classes with young and relatively inexperienced riders.
The sport has lost 3 teenagers already this year with a number of other horrific crashes as well.
The sports gotta do something and cutting the fields is the only way forward I can see

Didn’t see that one Jon, had a look, on you tube, nasty one that, fast too!

Air bags, armour and technical advances, more and more people are walking away from them which is pleasing to see
