    It was great being there on person to cheer on Cam in Moto 2. Crowd was loving the hole shot. Sucks Joe had such a poor performance.

    Nakagami crashed in 12.. Took a while to get the bike restarted then walked down multiple riders passing them all in 12. Even though he was at the back he got lots of love every time

    I think next year will be very interesting with him being more comfortable at all of the tracks.

    And I hope the American Racing Team does next year what the VR46 boys did last year...work together.

    SDK can get up to speed at new tracks faster by getting a tow, and they can help each other qualify better.

    So? Did anyone see the interview that Neil Hogdson of BTsport did with Guy Martin on the grid. Neil could not keep a straight face. Was great

    They should absolutely not do this..... They have used up their allotment of luck for the next several weeks!

    What was up with Pecco at the podium celebration?
    The chick had to push him out of the back room to the podiums and then he didn't participate in the champagne shower. I don't think he even opened his bottle up.
    What crawled up his ass?

    I was jumping up and down in front of my TV when I saw Cam get the holeshot!

    So anyone got an explanation of the ruling in Moto3? Seems bizarre that a red flag ends it and yet an involved rider takes 8th? Certainly bad luck for Petronas

    Eh, his bike had legs on the front and back stretches, but he was holding them up in the stadium sections. Was a good ride though.

    I scared the shit outta my kids with my yelling when he took the holeshot.

    Taller gearing?

    Imo, probably disappointed. He saw the championship slip a little further away…maybe a bit pouty, but understandable. Seemed better in the after the flag interviews.

    I just hope that COTA gets some of the bump issues resolved. It is kinda handy having a MotoGP weekend in my back yard...

    Taka is a fan favorite. I hate that he's on that shitty Honda, bet his smooth style would work well on the Zook.

    To be fair, Dovi's teammate is so old that even the dinosaur fossils in museums are starting to say he's not looking so good anymore (he's almost as old as I am...), and Morbidelli is the one-legged Bandit due to ACL surgery a couple of months ago.

    But, Maverick managed to win on a Yamaha, so the problem seems to mostly be with the Septuagenarian Retirement Team...

    That would be nice since I've ready bought tickets and booked flights (all refundable if necessary) in anticipation of going next year.

    Didn't they fix the bumps from 2019 and now they just have different ones?
