MotoGP | 2023 | Race 17 | Chang | Thailand | Oct 27-29

So in essence we had 3 races:

1. Moto3!!!!
2. Moto Zzzzzz..... (again)
3. MotoGP!!!!!

 

What a race!

Aside from the front runners, who were amazing, watching how busy MM93 was in that race was incredible. He must have been involved in 40 passes during that race to finish in the top 10, including one where Pecco leaned on him with his shoulder. Wow.

How the heck are we supposed to wait 2 weeks for the next GP after that show?!

With the elbow to elbow racing/passing, I was definitely anticipating a disaster for one of the top 2 contenders.

 

Great ride from Ramirez. American Racing bike looks good when ridden.

 

Damn what a race.

 

Imagine if pecco had made that weird outside pass stick… but the other 2 were just too good.

 

That double outside pass Pecco almost made…..was insane

 

Yeah, 3 for the price of one.

In one shot he passed Binder, he passed Martin and he passed himself!

But it was indeed a pretty WTF moment in the race!....

 

There was some cartoon physics on that outside move. I need to rewatch to see what he really did there.

 

His plan was to handle the braking and let Jesus handle the turn. Jesus was busy.

 

^^this^^

 

Phew, I need a cigarette after THAT race!

 

I think Bags blew the corner and thought, 'well i'm already here, may as well see how bad I can screw this up.'

 

Martin has forced the issue now. They've gotta race for the win from here on out. There's no playing it safe and coasting in from here. Bring on more races like that.

 

So why was Davide Tardozzi storming out of the back of the garage?
That passed that #89 won?
Ducati bosses are strange dudes or perhaps unique?

 

Tardozzi is a childish clown and his fellow Duc brass know it. Ciabatti walks around and thanks every Duc staff member and team who run their shit. Dall'igna sits back like the old grandfather shaking his head at his own dumbass team manager's conduct. I wouldn't doubt if he gets a talking to soon.

 

He stormed out to initiate Order 66 on the Pramac team. Just electronic problems. Since they're Ducatis nobody will be suspicious.

 

just watched the sprint and race....exciting race for sure. this track is nice and wide, and there's many different lines to take. it's quickly becoming one of my favorite tracks.

 

Disagree, I think everyone was going very defensive into the last turn, blocking the inside since it is normally one line. Pecco was just trying to take advantage of the slow entry and go around the outside. Almost worked. It wasn’t his speed that pushed him wide, it was the riders on the inside and the lines converging. Good racecraft. At least that was how I saw it in real time, haven’t rewatched it.
