MotoGP | 2024 | Race 16 | Japan | Motegi | Oct 4 - 6

I’ll be there! First MotoGP race I’ve been to since the last one at Indy. Can’t wait.

 

Where Ducati's old bikes are ahead - and why it hasn't mattered

I got Zarco.

 

A penicillin shot, will take care of that

 

I dunno, man. It keeps coming back.

 

I assume only in the back

 

Im just here for the corner workers show..

 

Hes actually liked in Italy also contrary to the rumors. Agostini did an interview about him last year during the Goodwood festival and mentioned it. I suspect he'll continue to gain more fans if Rossi continues to run his mouth.

 

Hope they do a Takeshi’s Castle MXC theme the original is way funnier than the American Wipe Out version

 

Just when you forget how douchetastic he was about it ten years ago he decides to one up himself and prove he’s still a whiny bitch… it’s like AE41 finally being shown why a dick he is after years of everyone rooting for the good guy dad dude he normally plays…

I liked them both before but they have really proven to be unlikable unfortunately

 

Yeah but he’s the best Honda has and damn likable… I’m glad he’s still racing hard and not just collecting a check… I miss his interviews, might have to learn French…

 

Speaking of Frenchies this is a kind of neat short about “baby Fabio”

Noooooo. @motion is in Italy and his finger is on the pulse.

 

That’s not his finger

 

I is be conflused? Who is unlikeable? I think you mean AE41 and Rossi are unlikeable? But I believe these are the four riders being discussed, so it could be someone else?

Rossi
Agostini
Espargo
Marquez

 

Correct VR46 and AR41

 

Reported

 

It’s more the disappointment than anything… both of those guys were great in my opinion and or knowledge until they showed their true colors… your boy VR did more to elevate the sport than anyone but couldn’t just race the more talented and elevated his game rather than play games to bring them down?!… and AE made you think he was the great dad but what will he tel his kids? It’s ok to be a total dick to everyone that helps you as long as they’re not your kids?!

like many in the world…

like MJ… if people had any idea the type of scene he had, just around racing, they’d be appalled… nothing bad just not the wholesome guy portrayed in public… no parent would want their kid to “be like Mike” for sure…. His marketing/PR firm earned every penny

 

I agree completely on both the racers, although I think they don’t bug me as much as they bug you?

I’m clueless on Jordan. I’m not a basketball fan at all. I enjoyed the movie AIR last year which was very interesting, and incredible how he worked that Nike sponsorship.

I always thought it was cool Jordon sponsored a motorcycle team but I was somewhat disconnected from motorcycle racing during that timeframe late 90’s to 07ish. Watched F1 and CART Indycar because you could find it on Speedvision, Speed or ESPN.

EDIT: Sounds like you have some good stories to tell us about this timeframe!! DO IT!!!
