MotoGP | 2019 | Round 16 | Motegi | HRC | Oct 18 - 20

I was going to ask if the big bikes were even worth watching. Looking at the results I was thinking no, I guess that confirms it.

 

Someone needs to tell MM the points don’t roll over to 2020.
Still killing it.

 

incorrect. Constructor’s Championship was clinched today by his win. Plus team title is still up for grabs and with Jorge collecting zero points towards it, Márquez has to maximize his points haul every weekend in an attempt to win that title too

 

That's what I'm most impressed with. If he pulls that off this year it will be an incredible achievement. With all the bikes now being as close and competitive as ever it's pretty unbelievable that he's carried that weight all year long essentially by himself.

 

Repsol is 17 points behind Ducati Factory.

 

Reminds me of an AR15 buffer now that I know what it is.

 

Make sure you go JP silent capture

 

Which wont be hard for him to do given his performance this year. The kid is beyond alien status...

 

Half the battle in doing well in GP is being in the right place at the right time to get your shot at good machinery. I don’t think Abraham has ever really rode a good machine. Petrucci used to be dead fucking last riding whatever piece of shit CRT that was. Somehow he positioned himself to get better and better machinery, made the most of it and this year won Mugello on a factory Ducati beating out Marquez. I think at least half the grid could win premier class races if they ever got a shot at a top team and bike. For most it’ll never happen.

Kicking ass is probably not accurate. That implies you’d have any interaction with them. You’d see them disappear into the first corner and then flip you the bird as they lapped you every other lap.

 

Tacticool, is that you?

 

Cal, zat you? : )

 

The Moto3 race was lit. I may just start watching that race instead. Arenas last lap move on Suzuki was fantastic, even though I'm a big Suzuki fan.

 

By here, do you mean in this thread or members of the beeb? If it's the latter...nope.

 

yeah

 

you mean a Spies / Abraham shootout?

 

I think the "or former" opens a lot of possibilities! Could probably pick at least 10 members who I would put my money on vs Simon Crafar Heck, I like my chances against Agostini

 

Moto3, Suzuki's only chance at a win

 

Further proof that you don't have to be smart to be fast on a motorbike.
