MotoGP | 2024 | Race 1 | Qatar | Lusail | March 8-10

This Moto2 race is weird. How long ago did Pirelli forget how to make tires? Canet's pace fell off the cliff after what, 4 laps?

 

Good M2 race, for odd reason....

 

How about Arbolino? Or the guy who had to pit early? Big tire learning curve.

Pramac Ducati seeing if ink is dry on contract…

 

Meh, I don’t think you can glean anything from that performance. That race was just weird and seems half the grid got caught off guard by new tires.

 

I agree. It’s early. Race did not follow predictions. But Pramac will be watching with interest.

 

Moto3 race was a real burner! I need an Alonso t shirt and an Acosta t shirt. My 2 new favorite riders.

 

Race craft at its finest.

They've been producing garbage for F1 and WRC for double digit years.

 

FYI Tru TV has the race on right now. The time slot changed since yesterday.

 

Weren’t many people setting better than lap record pace during practice in Moto2 and moto3 ? A faster tire doesn’t always mean it’s going to have longevity. The guys that fell off were running softer options I believe. Everyone is expecting the Michelins to fall off mid race.

 

Start delayed

 

Race distance reduced -1 lap.

 

Cant wait to hear what the prob was with R Fernandez/trackhouse

 

I am the only one that needs to restart the feed every 10 minutes or so?....

 

Feed working great for me on MotoGP app on Apple TV. Acosta is fricken flying.

 

I like this Acosta kid....

 

I became a huge fan when he won moto3 Qatar opening round as a rookie from pit road. lol.

 

Hopefully he keeps some tire on that bike for the end. Marc looking very comfortable sitting in 4th right now. Just sitting there waiting....

 

He's got the trifecta. Riding talent, racing smarts, and personality.

 

The commentators can maybe stop talking only about him.....

 

Not much else to talk about. The race is pretty much a tire conservation parade so far. Pecco starting to pull the pin though. Binder and Jorge getting racey is letting him get away even more.
