MotoGP | Le Mans | 2018 | May 18 - May 20

The last dude who rode like that in Moto 2 is currently leading the MotoGP championship.

 

A real gambler there, eh Dan?

 

Well, if you look at the time stamp I DID make that prediction before Zarco went down lol.

Sounds like Cal. I'm sure his soft/soft combo would totally have allowed him to stay near the front for the entire race.

 

Petrux was on soft/soft.....so was Miller.....

 

Wasn't everyone but MM?

 

Did anyone see the slo-mo of MM losing the front, holding the bike up on his elbow, then pushing the bike up to recover? I'm telling ya.... there's some sort of electronical device in his elbow area.

 

Welp, battle for second in the championship is still interesting, I guess......

 

Oh, and did anybody catch how George damn-near pulled the same thing as in Jerez after running wide then coming right back into the racing line?

At least he managed to check-up at the last second and avoided Marquez.......

 

Some people are saying that Marquez is to blame for that

 

Rolling road block dickhead. Trying to replicate his Yamaha fuck off into the distance act but he isn’t fast enough on the Duc to make it stick so he just ends up causing a traffic jam behind him. He’d probably have taken Dovi out again if Dovi hadn’t skipped the middle man and crashed himself.

 

I love his starts but the mid-race mid-corner speed is getting weird, he's almost parked compared to others coming through.

Why did Pedrosa take so long to pass him?

 

If Marc weren’t so fast they wouldn’t be in a position to battle each other like that. Clearly it’s El Joker’s fault.

Our only hope for a good championship battle is for Marc to throw it away or someone to take his little ass out in at least 2 races. He’s usually in front so probably not the latter. Argentina showed he’s still perfectly able to throw away races for zero gain, so all we can hope is that he treats us to another round of bumper cars and gets a race ban or 2.

 

To me this just sounds like him discussing a problem and how they can hopefully fix it. Yes he is a little cocky, but he has been MotoGp world champion 2 times.

To me crashlow is worse since he hasn't won 2 MotoGP championships, yet he often claims he should have won or had the pace to win.

 

George won 3 bruh! Guess everyone thinks Rossi really won it in ‘15.

 

Motocross jump in Moto3 2 laps left ftmww!,,,,

 

A couple of quick notes from the in-person experience. The track looks amazing and would be a bucket list ride for sure. We watched all three races from GA along the chicane just before the Dunlop bridge. Couldn't see much (no screens to watch really), but was fun nonetheless.

Watching Zarco win pole was the highlight of the weekend. The crowd was totally into it, yet afraid to hope. The joy that filled the place was amazing, and we felt lucky to be part of it.

Conversely, the collective groan of 100k people at once is something to behold too.

Moto3 continues to be the most thrilling class. What a wild finish. Wish we'd been at that part of the track when everything went down.

French light rail works really well. TGV is awesome.

Lastly, the French are some line-cutting m'effers. The concept of "wait your turn" is lost on them.

Good times. Would def. go again.

Onward to Bordeaux.

 

Dang, he is even better than I remembered.

 

He needs a nut punch for talking in the 3rd person, and maybe get a new trainer to focus on where his body is weak vs “explaining” the issue.
