I had forgotten that!

 

I will now that I've been an Aprilia fanboy since owning (3) V4's since 2017...

 

Dashing my hopes before the weekend even starts, thanks Papa!

 

Hopefully this will expand maybe back to 2 races in the US…

So what track here in the States can be made MotoGP ready? Barber is to short and Road America doen't want to build the garages. The fence at Canda corner is to close but it does have new pavement.

 

The new one being built in Tennessee would be my guess

 

Back to Laguna Seca and the famous corkscrew?

 

Indianapolis.

 

Yes.

 

Flatrock

 

Maybe VIR if they undid all the motorcycle unfriendly stuff they did to the place recently. Yeah - not happening.
Seriously, I can't see anything outside of Indianapolis making the cut, but I would love to see them at Barber. That place might have the smallest spread in times from MotoGP down to Moto3.

As to Flatrock, all tracks are dreams until folks are actually running on them. Then you have to build the garages, etc. for MotoGP. Motorcycle safety is usually way worse than what was promised. I heard all this stuff about track days and potentially motorcycle racing at Dominion Raceway before it opened up. Reality says there is no chance for track days, even if they bought 1000 feet of air-fence to line that concrete canyon.

 

same with Ozarks

 

Rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday morning. Green track might put Binder and Miller on the KTMs in the hunt with the Ducatis.

 

Rory's bike did a bit of ghost riding there, well until it decided to veer back toward the track, barrel roll and disintegrate itself.

 

I’d like to be a fly on the wall and hear wtf is wrong with AR bikes. ..or riders. After a year and a half essentially zero progress relative to field for SDK.

 

That highside in Moto 3! Textbook stuff. Assman's going to be feeling that for a few days.

 

Pecco and Bez better pray Tardozzi gives Beast the GG31 Yam talk so that he slows down caus he’s officially back on the pace…#FuckVR46

 

holdup!
Who is Assman!?!
