That was my thought a few days ago too. Marc maybe without many options soon and better hope Honda gets themselves right. He'll win on the Ducati but will never have the top of the line Ducati. Martin better win this year because it's going to be accosta and Red Bull ktm for the next 5 years or so.
Marc has shown he will go to a satellite team. I bet he would stay on a Ducati satellite team to get current spec bikes. Gresini may get them next year if Pramac and Ducati split. Or maybe VR46 gets the factory bikes but they tell them Marc rides one of them. Oh that would never happen but it would be funny.
Man I'm excited for Pedrosa to do a wildcard. What if? What if he does like Bayliss and smokes the field? One can dream.
Great race! MM93 crashed out of 2nd race in a row, while making contact with half of the field. Surprise surprise.
Austin MotoGP Race Report April 14, 2024 Marc Marquez crashes out after trying to pass some 19 yo kid named Pedro on a customer KTM of unknown vintage. The struggle is hilarious. Fans cheer when he screws the pooch and shits the bed. The other competitors have learned how to feed back to him his NASCAR like punts. When will he learn he is only a mid-pack rider now? Nice work Maverick on your win. You are very talented and you deserve this and more. Enea once again shows that he is a superior rider and deserves his place on the factory team. The loud mouth Jorge Martin shows us that the Latin bravado only goes so far in racing and works better at night clubs with trashy fat girls.. Sorry dude you’re not that good Someone let Frankie out on the track again and now the Ducati parts bins have a few more part less after shit canning another bike WTF Pedro looks like he will win the Championship. He is great ride and a nice guy. Congratulation there pal on your second place we were all cheering for you. The Honda’s continue to do parade laps before they crash out. When will they get rid of that big asshole Puig anyhow?
Glad to see the Houston Texan Cheer Leaders remain hot and non-woke and there are no dudes dressed dress up as women or fat chicks on the squad.
MM93 COTA stats: -Collision with Miller - check -Collision with Marteene - check -Numerous pucker moments with himself and others - check -Crashes himself - check
So much for COTA not producing good racing. That was the best MotoGP race I’ve seen in a long time. As big a Binder and Miller fan as I am, I think we’re learning the bike is quite good and they are not consistent front runners.
Watching the Masters and there's more spectators on the par 3 16th than on the front straight at Cota earlier today
I’m curious about Binder as this was an unusual weekend for him. I’d generally call him a consistent front runner. Even the announcers said this was basically his worst weekend in a couple years. Usually even his bad weekends these days seem to land him in that 5-7 range. and as much as like Jack, I can’t recall another rider as bad at tire management. And that’s been pretty consistent for awhile.
