MotoGP | 2021-2022 | Off-Season

it was all placed upon him, he even came out and tried to tamper expectations saying he just wanted to win a race first iirc

 

Damn, there isnt one but two children tearing shit up in this class!!

I didn't know he was so young. It kind of explains why he was able to make such a big jump from last season:

Mooney VR46 Novice Team

I love all bikes but those graphics don't do it for me.

 

Particularly for the Novice group.

 

They better not have their names on their leathers!

 

Another one going to Car Racing

Ex-MotoGP rider Pedrosa to make car racing debut in 2022

Now that Marc is out, is Honda bringing back Bradl? That dude rips when he's on a weekend showing.

 

That or bring over Iker Lecuona from WSB on non-conflicting dates.

 

That was my immediate thought too.

 

How long is he out?

 

I don’t think anyone knows yet, or at least they aren’t saying. Next GP is ~10 days away with one the week following. After that they are at 1-2 week intervals for awhile. Could easily miss 4 races in the next 6 weeks for instance.

 

Red Bull Ring presents a spectacular new lay out

Doesn't look so spectacular to me...of course Tilke designed the $hitty bus stop chicane, for MotoGP bikes only, to add to his $hitty track.

 

Somebody needs to buy that guy a set of french curves for layout.

 

Well, perhaps better than that chicane they add at Pitt Race, or that dumb, over the curb turn at Barbers.

While they will be slower, doesn’t this present the same risk of a rider going down to the right entering the chicane and catching another rider coming out if the first right hander? The wall they added at the end of that straight had pretty much addressed that, now it’s back.

 

No matter what they may claim, Austrians are pretty much as orthogonal (Ostrogonal?) as Germans......

 

"spectacular"





that's like saying a dish tastes "interesting" - basically like shit.

 

MotoGP better figure out the penalty for cutting the chicane on the last lap WAY ahead of time...

 

Tilke and Wilson need to just stop and go away..

Every backyard mini track I’ve ever ridden on has been a better layout than their trash
