    Any updates on Chaz Davies and Sykes?

    Anyone else notice the Yamaha shenanigans in race 2? They gave Gerloff his full power back and he was doing well, getting all the way up to 6th place. But then he was behind Rea so Yamaha turned down the power again because it makes total sense.

    Less we forget the good riders whom got taken out prior to said finish so he’s out of the top 10. :Poke:

    He actually has a gauge on his dashboard that shows the real time likelihood of him riding in Moto America next season.

    Did that ever move from zero? He does have a contract for 2022.

    The hate for Gerloff here is astounding the say the least.

    Five years ago people were bitching we had no riders at the world level.

    Now we do and people are still bitching.

    I'm not seeing the hate. It's more people disappointed by the situation in which he finds himself.

    What we have here is a failure to communicate.

    I don't see hate. I think it's just humour in a really bad situation. GG is/ was incredible. But his starts are terrible now. He passes pretty much no one on the track. His smile in the box is as weak as a ten watt bulb. It is really sad to see for him as a fan, but also him. How do you go from consistently fighting up the front to nowhere, riding behind not even attempting a pass just like that? It has certainly taken the shine off watching this year. He was such a breath of fresh air.

    But even his crew chief hinted that there was a lot of BS going on BTS. GG really doesn't look like he wants to be there anymore.

    The lacking information on Sykes is concerning. BMW hasn’t tweeted anything about it in 7hrs.


    Davis has a couple broken ribs.

    Mahias sounded seriously messed up as he described his collision with Sykes in the garage.

    That has to be good for some serious airtime when it catches in a gravel trap, no?
