MotoGP | 2024 | Race 19 | Malaysia | Sepang | Nov 1-3

True, we don't know what the personality of the '25 will be yet.

 

Imma laff my ass off if it impersonates a Honda

 

I will too lol.

 

If the GP25 sucks (doubtful), they could revert all the way back to a GP23 and still win the championship. I'm ready for the new era bikes for some parity.

 

I don’t think the factory teams are allowed to revert to previous seasons’ models.

 

Slap a 25 sticker on the 24 and call it a day. They could freeze Ducati development until the motor change and still be fine

 

So double header at sepang? Have they even given a hint yet?

 

That's based on what crackhead math? The number of times Bezzecchi crashed? Or Marquez? Or the other Marquez?

Bagnaia was an unreliable crasher before he ever saw a GP24. You could always count on him to crash out of a couple of races at the most unpredictable, unnecessary time and give up a fat handful of points. He would be almost unbeatable on GiGimobile if it weren't for that.

 

Who shit in your cheerios? You can go compare the DNF count for Martin and Pecco if you wish. I'm over here making casual observations, not writing news articles.

Crashing at inopportune times happens every year. The number of crashes isn't the same.....

Or maybe it's not the Ducati at all, maybe it's the new tire.

 

lol I would say it’s not a stretch to say damn near everyone on the Honda in MotoGp has been over riding it. I guess crash stats could back that claim. Kinda like the “old Ducati”

from the last few years, with privateers also winning in them, I’d argue the Ducati was the easier of the bikes to ride since damn near everyone who’s raced one the last few years has at least won once.

your hatred for mm has your judgement clouded.

 

Pecco a couple weeks ago: I ride my own ride, Marquez rides his. I don’t worry about Marc.

Pecco: I hope Marc and Enea help me cause I fucked up.

That dude has no accountability. I hope Martin mops the floor with him tomorrow.

 

“I fucked up” kinda sounds like accountability

 

Acosta's style through 12-13 was pretty awesome! Frustrating though that it seems like the KTMs took a step backward this year.

Rooting for Martin .. going to be so awesome watching him take the #1 with him.

 

I wonder if Martin has a bonus clause if he runs the #1 plate on the Aprilia?

 

If I’m a manufacturer, I’d have issues flexing all year with the #1 plate on front while knowing I had ZERO to contribute to it. I’d likely pay the rider to hold onto the 89 out front.

 

M. Marquez interview after the sprint :
So after finishing 2nd , can you say you now like Sepang ?
Marquez : No
Love his honesty

 

Thats crazy... as a manufacturer you promote the #1 as much as possible. Only us hardcore people understand the situation. Its marketing gold.

 

Reminds me of Bastianini talking to the French reporter in the media zone.
Reporter: so, with a new situation, are you going to try to help Pecco tomorrow?
Bestia: this question again? You keep asking it. I don't like this question.
Turned around and walked away.

 

I just realized not one mention here of Jorge Navarro taking Moto2 pole position on a replacement ride. The guy has never won a Moto2 race and his last pole position was in 2019 in the class.

 

High-five to most of the crowd for observing the pre-race minute of silence.
