WERA 2021 MotoGP Fantasy League

Bradl on the topic:

“I don't know if he will be able to win the title, it is impossible to speak of that now. But he's not back to be in the middle of the pack, I'm sure of that,” said Bradl to German publication Speedweek. “If Marquez finishes on the podium in Portugal, I would not be surprised. It would not seem extraordinary to me.

"Marquez is a professional from head to toe and has a completely new challenge for him. He will have thought a lot in these months about his return, he has planned it in detail and learned from mistakes. You do not have to wait for him to get his first podium or his first victory, it is irrelevant. The main thing is that he is back in shape and competitive, little by little he will regain his momentum. I think that after Portugal he will be in a position to set goals.

“We have waited for this for months,” continues Bradl, as he and the whole of Honda eagerly await to see what Marc Marquez has to say about the 2021 RC213V. “HRC wants Marc's reference. For us his criteria is very important, see how he is doing with the bike, what problems he has and what he has to say about it. After the Jerez tests (Monday to Wednesday) I will go to Portimao on Thursday and listen very carefully to his opinions.”

 

So is MM93 testing at Jerez?

I looked it up and the answer is no. Saving himself for Portimao.

 

Dovi is...

 

Is Dovi going to be on the grid at Portimao? One wonders....

 

They releasing any of his times on it?

 

No...private test, so no times unless they are leaked

Who else is picking MM93 for the win this weekend?

 

Not I








Yet

 

He's 1st, 2nd and 3rd for me. making up lost time

 

Marc is moooovin on up

to the pointy end of my list.

 

These conditions aren’t helping with my choices....I greatly dislike mixed conditions!

Marquez in P3 in FP1! Lol And all the naysayers on FB were like “he’ll take a while to get back up to speed and may not be as good ever again”

 

That's pretty bold thinking he's going to do as bad as 3rd.

 

You can tell by his body language on the bike that he's back. He might not be 100% yet, but he's definitely in the 90's. A Marc in the 90's is still a threat to win or podium.

They're all still a few seconds off normal pace yet, but he's right there with everybody else. GAME. ON.

 

The more I see from the Marquez haters, the more I like the guy.

People want to see the best riders in the world, but for some reason, Marquez' insane talent offends them.

The King is back, baby. I understand he can make it boring and people want to see closer competition, but the onus is on the trailing riders to catch up with Marc. Is he supposed to retire or slow down because people want to see a closer race!?

Anyway, glad to see him back. Can't wait to see how the storyline develops.

<drags and drops Marquez to the top of Fantasy league>

<realizes after the fact that I accidentally promoted Alex to the top instead of Marc>

 

i've set my picks. nothing close to what I imagined I would do, but we'll see. sometimes you hit HRs, and sometimes you strike out.

 

Please PM me with your picks thank you.

 

I say Bagnaia will be on fire but burn up his tire.

MM will fade due to arm stress

Je pense les Francais ... merde , j’ai oublié

 

Rossi 1-7, Binder 8-15.

 

MM93 actually not as easy of a pick as I was making it sound. Looks like he's pushing that bike to the limit, and I think a DNF is as likely as a podium. Ponder this I must.
