MotoGP | 2020 | Round 14 | Portugal | Portimao | Nov 20-22

I did, Whoa....

 

Great Googly Moogly!

 

Noted

 

For real. The riders are now so young, they could be my grandkids. Which means their mothers are young enough to be my kids.

Instead of MILFs, I guess my future searches need to be GILFs. :--(

 

What kind of tires did you put on the horses?

Track looks bumpy in the onboard cams compared to most but god I love the elevation there. Fp1 looked good. I think it’s going to be a Valencia chain style race though :/

 

Joe seems to be acclimating well, P3 so far in FP1...

 

Is GG still available? He could run around in 18th place too

 

Joe Roberts to Aprilia ....in contract talks....

 

This place needs to be a permanent stop on the calendar for GP.

 

MotoGP times are not far from Rea last year
"The Kawasaki star’s record is a 1:40.372 set in 2019"

This morning was 1:40.1xx by Oliveria. Guess with some soft rubber they should be faster

 

I hope for a Miller, Rins, Franky* podium. I want Miller to get a win this year, and I want Rins ahead of Franky so Suzuki lock out the 1/2 and manufacturers title.

* I'd also be happy to substitute Rossi in that spot, but everytime I've picked him for the box this year he chucked it lol.

 

well then....motogp bikes are in the low 1:39s now

0.56 seconds difference between the top 15

Rossi over 1.8 seconds behind first...21st Place

 

I am not sure if Roberts going to MotoGP on the Aprilia would be a good thing or not. I not sure he is ready for that level.

 

And Tito is ahead of Vale

 

FTFY

 

I'm a huge fan of Joe, but I think Aprilia is a mistake. Yesterday in the press conference, Sam Lowes said he'd love to get back to MotoGP, pretty much anything but Aprilia. I guess if Joe can do well on it, that could leap frog him into something else, but I don't think anyone has moved to a better ride from Aprilia.

 

I don't really agree about the Aprilia being a steaming pile of hippopotamus shit. More that it was, they built a new one and now need a rider capable of pushing it hard while developing it.

and they could use a few hundred Million €.

 

Think about it this way, who has the smallest lineup of m/c and the smallest amount of sales in the moto gp paddock?

 

It's not that the bike sucks. It's that the team has treated all of their 'B' riders like crap. Maybe trying to out-do Ducati on poor personnel management. Who wants to go to a team where you're not going to be welcomed or trust your crew.
