MotoGP | 2024 | Race 2 | Portugal | Portimao | March 22-24

Wait, you're predicting a MM blowout at COTA?

 

yessir. Heck the bad Honda won last year

 

And the Beast won the year before that. Marquez has 1 win in the last 4 years there.

 

It was Rins on the Honda last year, right? OK, don't answer that LOL

 

he was like broken the other 3

 

I caught that but don’t speak Spanish so wasn’t sure what they were saying. But they watched the clip of MM/Pecco and had some thoughts, and also Mav’s crash.

If anyone could translate what they said, I’d be curious.

 

He’s still broken. Acosta is about to finish him off mortal kombat style.

 

LOL

 

If by blowout you mean launching a Ducati into the parking lot, then yes.

 

Are you trying to make shit up because this is an English-speaking board?

Quite a few racers seem to disagree with you and said that Bagnaia was too aggressive, including A. Espargaro, Mir, Lorenzo...

 

I keep seeing this inference in various places. When is it "worth it" to go for the clear gap? Only for the lead? Only for the podium? With the way points have played out lately, being 4th on one day, instead of 5th, could gain you a place in the overall championship.

 

slo-mo shows PB held a tight line and the front started washing out after MM had leaned onto him.

 

exactly, it's not like they're doing it for a wooden plaque and the ability to roll their bikes into the trailer Sunday, to be back at their day job Monday

 

My Overlord fan boi's are huffing paint again

 

That's what I saw based on the replay.

 

The play button is broken....

 

Dunno. Cant decipher in slow mow. Watch it in real time as thats what these pros are seeing. Im not a fan of either one. So totally unbiased. Marc disappeared. Went wide. Pecco didnt see him. Both fighting for the same spot as Marc is an animal. Pecco could not assume he would be back. Neither gave an inch. I really am having a hard time putting blame on either one. In heat of moment.. Shit.. They are fighters. Neither one gonna give an inch as expected. But bosses will be watching from now on.

Like I posted earlier, its all fun and games in Ducati till MM93 starts playing ping pong with the rider #1.

 

Cool, I just wanted to quote you

 

I'd like to put it down as 2 bikes going for the same spot of tarmac, but the fact is that Pecco is on the other side of the bike, looking in the opposite direction from MM. So, he can't see MM and has no idea where he is. On the other hand, MM is fully aware of where Pecco is. So, there's a collision with only 1 rider who is aware of where both bikes are at the moment. Pretty damning to me.
