MotoGP | 2019 | Round 12 | Silverstone | UK | Aug 23 - 25

@Steeltoe is having this printed in one of those multiple section wall prints as we speak.

 

I envisioned something a little dirtier

 

What about my boy, Miguel? Zarco is persona non grata in the Reb Bull pit.

Great race. Well done Alex and Suzuki. Also, hats off to Silverstone for putting that track back to proper condition.

 

Valencia Moto3. Not sure the year -- 2013 or something and lost the race because of it.

 

I thought it was in Brno?

 

I can't remember which one it was but it wasn't the final round of the season, so it wasn't Valencia.

 

It was Brno 2014 when he was celebrating a lap too early, eventually he finished 9th..

 

as great as marquez is he sure as fuck has some last corner problems.

except he is the permanent championship winner for years to come, so maybe not.

 

Great race by Rins today. Clearly down on power but able to put that bike anywhere on the track and straight up steals that win from MM.

 

just saw it.....was watching a 8 month old preggo french chick at the beach here in St. Martin taking maternity photos, eating fresh fruit and smoking cigarettes..all in a day's work for keeping a healthy baby

Rossi...umm...yeah...

But Rins...I forgot he even races til the end, oh and so did he

 

The marches on St Maartin have some really stinky cheese.... good stuff, like week old baby diaper good. Check it out.

 

(Was the knocked up Frenchie hot though?)

 

not really, even though she was trying though by wearing thongs. i was like you need some Puritan values madam.

 

This morning like usual- I go to Fuel Cafe- on 5th street in The Brew City to watch live Moto GP on many Big screens, WITH former racers and many old salts, and a few younger people to and eat breakfast and watch, talk to friends, and go for a spirited ride afterwards.
Today was awesome.
Rossi was second on the pole to start, and even led briefly, before eventually dropping back to 4th. Another top 5 for VR!
Rins, on the Suzuki (Yea!) was in second spot most of the race, did pass MM at least once or twice,
BUT, on the last lap, he came out of his slipstream inside and managed to get about the length of a front wheel on MM at the finish!!!!
It was awesome. The entire group of about 2 dozen people in the Cafe (that was all that was there, they don't normally open that early unless there is a MOto GP race on!)- anyways, the whole place broke into a roaring cheer when Rins beat MM!
I have to hand it to MM though, he has so many more points for the overall, and still gives it his all every time.
Nearly evereyone there this morning rides to the cafe for this, the GP race is at 0700 central time.
I didn't talk to the owner of this brand new clean Binelli- engine looked like a 4 stroke too!

These are a few of the friends I watched with and then rode with this morning.

This is Rins onboard shot, I think it was that last corner just before he came inside of MM for the win!

 

That’s Vinales, lay off the hard liquor before noon

 

It was noon somewhere...

 

What a great race. Anyone else surprised by the lack of fans? Weather looked great and only 50k people show up? Lots of empty bleachers.

 

Been thinking the last few weeks about all the talking heads and magazines that talk about the Suzuki being down on HP from the Honders, Yamahas and especially the Ducati. How much HP are they talking about? Can't been huge amounts (20 hp) or the other bikes would just walk away in a straight line (in theory).

5 to 10 hp?

 

I was just rewatching the moto3 race and they were talking record crowd numbers. I thought looked dead too
