Hervé Poncharal said that during his usual FP4 stint in the Eurosport France commentary booth that even though Tech 3 would get factory-spec bikes, their focus would remain on rider development for the factory team just as they have done with Yamaha. Reading between the lines, Zarco is moving to the other team if he's going to be on a KTM.
Thank god I have a MotoGP pass . I can't stand listening to "egg white" . The guy is like herpes , he just won't go away .
Greg White next to RalfyShaheen can't listen to either.. although I hear GW has calmed down the Excited delivery..
I was under the impression that he was the workhorse, that KTM was focused not on his results but the progress of the machine?
Well, he hasn't looked good in comparison to Espargaro since they both joined KTM. And the comparison to Kallio has been particularly damaging, in my opinion.
I rather watch MM take everyone out the whole race again than watch that snooze fest. The race was very boring. My wife said, “I know you understand this better than me but from a outsider trying to watch this, this is really boring and just looks like guys doing laps around the track.”
For better or worse, I’m gonna have to leave the country to watch a competitive MotoGP race in the next decade+. I say better
Didn’t see that one. Alex Marquez’ umbrella girl was perfectly thick with some tig ol bitties. She looked like a local flavor Latina. They definitely build and feed ‘em right in Texas. The Kallio comparison is why he’s going to be out. Last year they were talking up how they still want him etc., but supposedly behind the scenes they were looking for any way possible to swap him for Kallio. Guess they figured Kallio wasn’t so much better that they could waste that much on lawyers. Smith is very talented and obviously quite intelligent, but given the ridiculous depth of that field I don’t see him sticking around. He’s damned good, probably just not good enough to justify keeping him when you can sign a Moto2 nut for the same price that might do better. I really, really like the guy and hope he lands on his feet and can kick ass somewhere. Whatever happens with his riding career, I think his post racing career will be where he truly shines. I can definitely see him being head of a factory team and bringing home championships.
Yeah, I like Bradley Smith and I hope he finds in something good for next year. Maybe a friendly satellite bike, or a top superbike ride for a career rebirth. He is still young enough to accomplish some things before taking a desk job.
Speaking of Moto2 nut . How about Joan Mir ridding the wheels off his bike after getting bumped in T1
Yourgay whining about a pass where he had a very wide entry, and no contact at all. Looks like it scared the crap out of him, the way he over-reacted. Miller missed him by a good 2'. https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/lorenzo-austin-performance-difficult-to-accept-1029215
Actually Ducati warned Lorenzo through his dashboard that Miller was gonna pass him . I think it said "Map8"
