Give em whatever DJT took.

 

Which would accomplish what exactly? None of them feel sick. It won't get them to the track and in the paddock.

 

That’s a shame. Hopefully it won’t hurt the team much. Good article on their test at Portimao on Motogp.com. I’m about to watch the riders meeting.

 

I hope it doesn't affect MV and his parade to the back.

 

I wouldn't call it a parade to the back. It's more of a drag race to the back.

 

I love the guys all dogging Mav. He hasn't really been whiney while he struggles-- he's been pretty honest about it. He wants to win and Sunday he's been out of whack or the bike has failed. Few people struggle and carry the same demeanor. When it comes to talent, he is spectacular, and it's not restricted to running away at the front. See Malaysia 2019.
Nevermind. He's 3rd in the world championship, eight places higher than his teammate.

 

But lost all likableness honestly.

 

Nothing too excited in fp1. Lots of crashes in Moto 2/3. GP nothing too exciting to see.

 

I was about to watch. Rain or shine?

 

He should be leading. He’s full of talent for sure but he’s a head case. If he doesn’t win it this year, he’s going to be long shot. He’s too inconsistent and comes off as a spoiled brat. I think a lot thought that was behind him(Moto3) but it’s coming back. Calling out specific crew members in public isn’t going to win him friends and it sure isn’t going to make them want to work for you. A championship is won by a team, not just the rider. Unless something drastically changes in Maverick, I can’t see him getting another Yamaha contract.

 

Mixed. Track characterized as "slimy". Good news, Joe Roberts apparently likes slime!

 

Yep he’s running well but was also one of the crashes. Can’t believe Marini crashed on out lap in turn 1 first session.

 

Yep an uncharacteristic mistake for him...Joe's seemed more like whoops dang at end of session. On F1 now (where they're jabbering with no cars on track due to cloud cover) before back to afternoon FP2!

 

They all do to some degree.

 

gonna be a crashfest Sunday...

 

Motorcycles I love to watch

Why I can't watch F1

 

Lol. They were not on track because the medical helicopter couldn't fly, and the nearest appropriate medical center is 45 minutes away by road.

 

Yeesh Marini got launched

 

Yikes!

 

Pol already said he's in win it or bin it mode.

So, what's the spread on Pol winning vs taking out at least 1 other bike before half distance?
