MotoGP | 2021-2022 | Off-Season

Final is at The Bend in S. Aus a bit west of Adelaide. Newish track (2018); long, wide and smooth.

 

Why are thoise times still 4 seconds faster than yesterdays times? Same track??

 

That was Valencia testing then.
It's Jerez since last year I think.

 

AHHHHH

 

They moved the year-end test to Jerez because of the odds of getting more favorable weather with a calendar that runs into mid-November.

 

First time in BBS history I was wrong.

 

Raul is the dark horse imo. Kid can ride and I think his style will work well in GP.

 

I like that he dropped the truth bomb on everyone.. So many times these guys need to abide by the PR rules.. He doesn't give a shit, much like Miller doesn't, much like Loris Baz doesn't.. I dig it and I'm definitely rooting for him this year.

 

If what he says is truth. It sounds more like whining to justify his failure to win the championship through his own crashing rather than accepting that the true champion was much more consistent than he was.
Do we have any kind of evidence that he was not given the support of his team?

 

Agreed.
I think his talent is ridiculous, but that interview came off as entitled and whining. I hope he blows the status quo apart with results and shakes things up but I don't love that interview, at all.

 

Do we have any evidence that Remy only got that seat because of his daddy due to crap results for several years prior...check.

 

What place did he finish?

 

I would pick Raul to beat remy every time. Raul knows it. Remy knows it. He just said it. He knows he’s faster. He won more races.

 

I think Fernandez isn’t happy with KTM, hence the words about the team. If anyone remembers, KTM blocked Yamaha’s advances on Raul. I think he really wanted to go Yamaha. KTM forcing him to stay ain’t sitting well with him.

 

I think the push into MotoGP pissed him off too. He wanted a few seasons in Moto2. He wanted a championship. They took that from him.

 

Rossi : Old Age
Lorenzo : Estrogen

 

And yet ...

And then he won the championship. Your assertion is that the team, collectively, both hired an unqualified rider and then sabotaged a rider proper and finished first and second in the Moto2 championship?

 

at least he got the nepotism clause added. otherwise, his brother would probably be without a ride
