MotoGP | 2023 | Race 2 | Termas de Río Hondo | Argentina | April 1

frankies gotta be feelin optimistic, fingers crossed for him in the sprint

 

How so? He's over 2 seconds off the pace.

 

The top 3 went out on slicks, he was the fastest on rain tires

 

Binder letting off the brakes at the end of the long straight on the last lap was impressive. Bezzechi had a big run on him, but couldn't outbrake him into T5.

 

That was amazing

 

WTF just happened lol

 

What a nice clean race. Frankie has to feel good about that, and Binder is the new Rossi! Fast and racey when it counts.

 

And then there were 17(?)...

Good race though! Always fun to see unexpected faces on the podium.

 

What is that Honda's Body count up to now?

 

Rins has got to be really hating Suzuki’s pullout from MotoGP, now that he’s riding the career-killer. That Honder is really a turd.

 

Wow that was soooo exciting!! Man these sprints are awesome!

WTF FM?! Last week I'm saying you should be fired, then you ride like that!! Do more of that Morbi!

 

Holy cow, what a race! Nice battles everywhere, lots of passing and close racing. More please. I enjoyed watching Marquez battle with Bagnaia...and pipped him at the line too. What about Binder? That was nuts. Morbidelli showed he still has what made me a fan of his. I would love to see him on an Aprilia or a Ducati. I wish Suzuki were still in the game.

Can't wait for tomorrow's race.

 

Odd that Morbidelli didn’t take his helmet off when he got back to his garage. Also convenient he finished 4th just off the podium so he didn’t have to ride to the podium area and expose himself as Marc Marquez. It’s the only explanation for that performance.

Really. Anyone actually confirm it was FM riding that bike?

 

I think they got the hang of the type of aggression needed for the Sprint race.

Seeing like 10 riders riding close was amazing.

 

I'm rewatching this morning and it's still awesome.

 

A sample size of one has zero degrees of freedom.

 

The conditions look like Tally in February

 

Exactly, Mir has "cranial and cervical trauma"
I am reminded of his comments about riding the repsol turd being a childhood dream of his. He might now say it became a nightmare.

 

So what happened, everybody likes the sprint race now.
