MotoGP | 2021 | Round 8 | Sachsenring | Germany| Jun 18-20

If you want wins with an Italian bike, an Australian rider is probably your best bet.

 

Nice thought, but I am pretty sure that can't happen this year due to engine rules.

 

There has been a precedent set for that, hasn't there.

 

Please explain the 'Katie Bar The Door' reference, haha. I can't figure that one out.

 

Katy bar the door is an exclamation that means watch out, trouble is on its way. It is an American phrase, usually heard in the southern United States.

The exact origin is unknown. One possible source of the phrase Katy bar the door is a Scottish ballad called Get Up and Bar the Door published in 1776. Another possible source is the story of Catherine Douglas, the woman who sheltered the Scottish King James I from an unruly mob in 1437.

As the story goes, Catherine Douglas and James I were hiding behind a door that didn’t have a lock. Catherine attempted to bar the door with her arm, but the crowd broke through and murdered the king. Interestingly, both of these stories concerning this American phrase have a Scottish origin, demonstrating the influence of the many thousands of Scottish immigrants to America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Katy bar the door is sometimes spelled as Katie bar the door.

 

Whew. It can be spelled both ways . I didn’t mess up. Lol. Oh it means “watch the F out” lol.

 

Slightly more convoluted than the 'Hodor' storyline....

 

The Yamaha boys will do work this weekend.

 

Márquez got this.

 

I'll give him somewhere between 5th and 12th.

Unless you are talking Alex, in which case, add 10.

 

Like NASCAR, he likes to go left. So, you maybe spot on.

 

Marquez will podium or crash I believe.

 

The old Marquez would've gotten the "why not both?" meme.

 

Lmao. Seriously.

 

MM is going to push hard and stay up front until he gets too tired. Then he's going to bin it and call it a day. Cause he'd rather have a DNF than a 10 or worse finish. That's how I read the last round.

The Italians have left me sour last round

1. FQ
2. JZ
3. JM

Rins is going to get another text message and crash.

 

Ohhhhh! Jesus. I thought it was a funny way to say someone's name. Like the way people refer to Aleix and Pol as the Asparagus brothers. I literally looked up the MotoGP grid to see if I was missing a Ducati rider whose name sounded like 'Katy Bar The Door'.

 

Honda 3 of the top 4 in FP1 says the RCV May be working a bit better at this track. Too early to know for sure, but a decent start anyway.

 

Seams other that FQ having any sort of consistency... everyone else is up one weekend and down the next...
So I will go with Jack Miller for the win.
Morbadelli for somewhere on the box.
And a Suzuki rider rounding out the podium.

 

Guilty as charged of doing this exact same thing. Then I thought maybe it was a Ten Kate reference……

 

Its time…for Rossi and Morbidelli to swap bikes. Val is wasting that 21’ Yamaha.
