MotoGP | 2022 | Race 7 | Le Mans | France | May 13 - 15

looks like Ducati need to give that factory seat the Beast

 

Great racing overall though

 

@motion ,110K people in attendance today. Sold out. Had Rossi been there, they would've sold… exactly the same number of tickets.

 

Rossi who?

 

Not possible. The series won’t flourish without him.

 

That was cool to see and they posted the attendance as an odd number…like 110,346 or something… do they actually turn people away or is it like Indy does/did in the hey day, of car racing, and take anyone with money?

I had a big hand in the first few IndyGPs and it was fun but lots of work… most was 92k iirc

Indy doesn’t sell out… if they fill the stands they sell lawn then standing on shoulders room only if they could I’m sure…

 

Sold out.

 

So cool to see after the last few years… I figured fans would just get in if they wanted…


If VR was still riding there would have been chaos and riots if they turned away a yellow wearing fan…

 

So I’m watching moto3 now and I can’t help but wonder how much rain has to fall before a race is red flagged? Is it really necessary for a third of the field to crash before someone says “hey maybe we should red flag this”

 

Great race for CB and solid for JR. SDK getting lapped, how much longer is this gonna last…

 

He was reported to be in the pits at one point, so probably would not have been lapped without the stop.

 

Nice race for CB. Starting 18 and finishing 4 is no joke. Wish he could have held on to the podium, but it's coming.

 

It sure looked to me like he ran out of tires at the end. That being said, I am glad he managed to maintain position on tires he used up going from 18th to 4th. That showed some skill and maturity.

 

I got blocked by the American Racing Team IG because I commented on CB's mechanical woes. Hoppers cool and all but that dude is the quickest to post replies on the teams IG's and their riders as well. Always some fruity comments with pinterest type motivational quotes.

 

Man watching him go into a 2 wheel slide on the last lap had me all puckered up

 

NBC posting Moto 2 now.

 

Not sure what Hopper really does at AR.

 

Paid cheerleader.

Good ride by CB.

Cheers,

Dave
