MotoGP | 2023 | Race 3 | COTA | USA | April 14-16

Starting this one a little early. To help facilitate any meetups since many will be there

 

Wonder if Marc will be back in time for this, but, still think a Ducati will be on the top steps.

 

All I know is that this Sprint race stuff is incredible and wish they would have done it a lot sooner! Excellent racing by the best in the world. Close, fast and plain out fast! Makes me want to drive down to COTA again just for that!

 

had planned to go there, now i will have child #3 pop out around that weekend.

 

Congrats, birthing person!

 

Tell the lady not to be selfish and to hold it in for an extra week.

 

I'm wondering what the track surface will be like this year?

 

My money is on "bumpy." I am a risk taker.

 

Going Thursday-Monday with the wife, my brother and his wife. SIL got a discount code and we got seats in t12 in the Marquez fan section. I think i'm gonna buy a Oliveira or Rossi shirt to wear. Anybody going to the Aprilia/AF1 party at the brewery Friday night?

 

I sure wish Aprilia would've called in Beaubier as a fill in for their injured rider. Talk about some hometown excitement

 

Loved turn 12 seats the best of everywhere I've been around COTA. Enjoy!!!

the cool dr we had let me pick my kids bdays... both c-sections... my daughter’s was only two days past the due date 3-21, but my son got to share my obsession with my #27 and is born on 3-27 two weeks late... the dr thought for sure she’d go into labor and said he was just entertaining me... he underestimated the power of 27

 

Seems Honda might have the kalex frame for cota. But will they have factory riders?

 

Still plenty of time. I think a Moto2 Wild card is more likely.

 

Anyone out ?

 

Maybe they'll give Joe Robert's a call. I don't think he's shown up for any races so far this year.

 

No but I'm sure American Racing can field a 3rd bike like they did for Rory last year.

 

I didn't think about that. Come on American Racing, how about a Beaubier wildcard?

I just really wanted to see him get his chance in a big bike on the world stage. I was really hoping he would give WSBK a shot. But I'm excited for MotoAmerica to start too.

 

How about NO on the Cam B American Racing wildcard. Aprilia would have been cool, KTM (Pol), any Moto2 team proven to be able to set a bike up. Or, fill-in for Loris Baz in WSBK. Season is a couple weeks away and he is still not listed on MA website, not on the Tytler’s website, no official announcement. I hope their bike prep is better than their PR.
