MotoGP | 2020-2021 | Off-Season

At this point it's a 50/50 IMHO.

It could go either way but for that level of competition and knowing Marquez, not sure he'll has competitive... if he returns !

 

That sounds really bad...

Pseudarthrosis or nonunion is a disease that occurs when a broken bone fails to heal after a fracture unless intervention (surgery) is performed. The fracture structurally resembles a fibrous joint, and for this reason, is called “false joint” or pseudoarthrosis.

 

He HATES Hopper.

 

What's the background there? As someone who only knows him from interviews and his public persona, Hopper seems like a dude that's pretty tough to hate.

 

If I were a betting man, my money would be on the way negotiations were conducted during the off-season.

 

So with preseason testing crammed into Qatar , will they run in the daylight to gain usable data for other circuits?

I’ll be dying for GP come March, but I’ll be sick of watching that circuit after the 1,724 laps they’ll spin in their 10 days there including the GP weekend!

 

Hopper was promoted as an "Anglo-American" racer, versus being an American. I think that is what upset DA. This, based upon some of the tweets I read from him.

I tend to agree. To me, it's like forgetting all the people that helped you along the way.

 

Can confirm.

I had the same exact thing in my left humerus as a child. Broke it 3 different times from simple falls because it never healed completely. Had surgery after the second time, but even then it was only partially effective.

To this day the bone is not quite as strong as normal bone, but doesn't limit me in any way, and even through major falls/crashes it has stayed intact. However, MM93 doesn't have decades to allow it to heal......

 

While I'm not sure of what the flack is between those two he kinda put one over on gentleman on here who sponsored him in 2010 that I found pretty unlikable...

 

Didn't that involve a hand or wrist injury? A long time ago...

 

Yes, my understanding from reading is that he told them he was 100% when he was not.

 

New Honda breaks cover... radical new swingarm and the exhaust is heavily revised. Looks like a fairly big change.

 

Rear looks like the CBR 600/1000 when they had the exhaust under the tail.

The swingarm only looks like a cover.

How the hell do they keep the rotors cool, with all that protection ??

 

^^ well it rained alot there so they actually are trying to keep heat IN the carbon brakes

 

I wonder if that is just the testing exhaust to vary length? HRC historically has the most ridiculously beautifully crafted exhaust on the RCV. It would be a shame if that is how she ended up looking...but even a bigger shame if the bike sucks ... so fast first, pretty second lol

 

Thought they swapped to steel in the wet?

 

Used to, now not always. Found out they can get away with covers in a lot of conditions

 

The Honder has beautiful lines, its the best looking bike unpainted.

 

What'd I miss?

 

Paasch is racing in BSB next year and Dynavolt is the title sponsor of the team.
