I would not have thought that would influence a decision like that or would hope not. Fast part of the course and major rider error.

Im guessing after that Jon the VR46 gang will be the stuff of legend. Reckon he will be done this year after that, i will be very surprised if he does not quit

Hi Chris

I definitely do get your point of view, but "fault" for last weekend's crash is questionable imo, you can argue either way

There's been a lot of very poor and obvious driver error incidents in all classes this year that have caused crashes, incidents and dnf's

The only time punishments seems to be dished out is when the vr46 gang pipe up. The Mcfee podium was because they were causing a stink about track limits and that ultimately backfired on vieti

Race control come across as being influenced by vr46 at the moment

Not sure Jon myself

Maybe it’s to set the benchmark, I’m not sure?

One thing for sure, for a rider of that quality that was an horrendous error which could have killed two riders?

There are risks with motorsport no doubt, that’s what makes it exciting but on reflection that was just reckless for me, massive error

Very sad imo

Zarco starting from the pits is just moto gp bowing down to what's becoming the VR46 mafia

Does the Vali legend really want this to be his legacy?

Seriously, talk about luck and fate. You don’t walk away from those!

One weekend, two horrendous crashes. Crazy!

Same venue, 2019. Great bit of racing

2019 Austrian treat

Seen the lowlights moto 2

That is a terrible crash that

Just ripped the bike to bits!

Edit

Jesus, just seen the moto GP one, flying bikes

Make no wonder Rossi was shocked, 2 x bikes comes past you in the air at 180mph!

If that’s not time to hang the gloves up I don’t know what is!!!

Moto GP

Moto 2

Let’s hope everybody is OK

The moto 2 crash was awful and they were doing CPR on one of the riders in the initial pictures before they said everyone was conscious.
Rossi used up his 9th life and it showed on his face..........
Happy for Dovi though, not sure how it helps anything, but I've got a soft spot for the old dog

Bagnaia for me, new talent is what’s needed to beat MM.

Hi Rich

They've got the Lorenzo rumour going on here as well, but surely Ducati desperately need to move forward not back. They'll be phoning Fogarty next

Hi All

Just getting news down here that Dovi is quiting Ducati, anyone know if it's true? As they've got form for miss reporting stuff like this before
