MotoGP | 2022 | Race 4 | COTA | USA | April 8 - 10

But they (Jason) also said that Alex Espargaro have been on competitive equipment his MotoGP career, which can’t be further from the truth, so sometimes they spew verbal diarrhea, just like many other talking heads.

 

I honestly think either one of these outcomes could happen. Crazy.

It appears as if you two have a $100 wager.

 

So you didn't see his gloves.

 

Good point. Probably not that many people since they are not running Twins Cup or Baggers at this round.

 

So cars are feeling the bumps...welcome back to the Rodeo Bikes....maybe it's last year if it's as close to what it was last year

So you're Joe Roberts, and Aprilia had it's first win, and leading the 'ship. Do you fire your manager?

 

Nope. He’d been gone as soon as Mav was available.

 

Almost like they’re making sure I win this $100

 

no, it was his decision.... he wanted to win a race before he went to GP. and as quciktoy pointed out, with Mav arriving, he probs would have gotten the booooooooooot

 

but he would have had some more $$ in the bank i presume with that boot

 

you think he cares about money? he seems very well off as is and he is as hipster as they come so i dont think the $$ moves him.

 

I would have thought most people care about money in their chosen career, unless they are in a non-profit or some well-being services, otherwise it's more a hobby racing for plastic trophies

 

Or they want to be the best.
When asked what he would have done if he wasn't a professional footballer Thierry Henry responded by saying an amatuer footballer. Your MM quote dosnt say if you take my money away I'd lose half my life its my bike! I personally think that Joes motivation isnt money related, its a love of competition and motorcycles.

And perhaps further evidence of this is the fact that he didnt listen to his hypothetical manager pushing a more money move to GP, he wanted to stay in moto 2 and hone his craft. Couldnt we also also argue that a failed moto gp rider is presented with more opportunities than a failed moto 2 rider and if he was concerned with money he would have moved to GP.

 

Cool sunrise pic...

 

Paddock looks empty-ish...used to seeing like 100 trailers

 

Want to think MotoA move in doesn't start until 10.00am COTA time

 

Watching the sun rise over a racetrack - any racetrack, is always special! I love the serenity of the scene, the anxious optimism for the coming day's events and the chance to take a deep breath before jumping into the controlled chaos that always seems to come on race day. Thanks for the pic.
