Hopefully GG can put it together.

 

^^this^^

 

Ya I’m hoping Garret kills it this weekend with confidence.

 

video schedule is lame but I am rooting for GG and Kayla

 

I honestly don't care too much who wins, but I want someone to really give Rea a fight and try to make this championship interesting.

 

Looks like fp1 just ended. About to go see how everyone did.
90% chance of rain Sunday.

 

Not bad GG. P5 in the first session at another track he is learning. Less than a second back from Rea and just a few tenths from Top Yamaha Toprak.

 

P7?

 

Looks like P5 to me:

The results he posted above say P7. Just going off what he posted.

 

Gerloff P1 by a half second in FP2. In a track he’s never ridden in before. Impressive.

 

Garrett first in all four sections of Donnington. Got up to pace quite quickly. Jumping back on the R1 after a weekend on the M1 seemed seamless for him.

 

Knowing he’s going to Petronas is definitely showing in his riding!!

 

I’d rather see GG stay in WSBK. Finally learning bike, tires, and will have hit most of the tracks by years end. If he moves, it’s another season of learning a new bike, different tires, and a few new tracks. And what bike would he even be on at Petronas?

 

Maybe. But, you go when you can nowadays. Plus, he’ll be 26 next month. With the youth movement happening in MotoGP, you can’t wait or a teenager will take the seat.

 

If simply going to MotoGP is the goal, then yes.

Is riding an older bike of questionable performance, perhaps, and spending another year learning better than being a legitimate threat for a WSBK title next year? If he in fact he has that choice, it’s certainly not a bad position to be in.

 

I think most kids dream of going to MotoGP, so yes I think it’s worth the risk.

 

I think he should go and I thought the same about Joe Roberts. Too much talent coming from everywhere to be choosey about when and what you ride if you want to be in GP.
