MotoGP | 2024 | Race 8 | Netherlands | Assen | June 28-30

You were really quiet for a few weeks. Everything good health wise? Glad you're back. Probably coincidental.

 

How can you be so stupid?

You saw how badly the ‘23 performed last season, you think it suddenly became a championship-contending platform over the winter break?

C’mon man…

 

P.O.S. is in the eye of the beholder. Ask Bezzecchi.

Tardozzi said again in a live interview on French TV yesterday that they chose Marquez over Martin because there's just no arguing with the data they are seeing on the '23, and even though it was an extremely difficult decision to make, it was just too compelling.

 

Quit using facts stated straight from the source, the 23 was, and continues to be, an all conquering platform that even beeb members can put on the top step.

 

Grid penalty for Martin!

 

Seems harsh I saw the clip of him and Miller but didn't watch the full qualifying session. Maybe I need to review.

 

It was not the Miller incident. He did it to Raul today.

 

Gracias, I should have read the notification I got on my phone from the motoGP app before posting!

 

AM73 made that '23 look pretty good today

 

It's good enough for top fives. You will not find a lot of people who say it's not. It just can't hang with a '24 of unless someone is doing miracles on it.

 

Or maybe last year’s front runners on ‘24 models are the same fellas that were front runners on the ‘23 models last season?

 

Did you just state Frankie and Enea are slow?

 

Marc and the other GP23 riders are on the early spec bike that couldn't outrun the GP22, they are not on the GP23 with updates that turned out to be a pretty good bike.

 

Pecco just ran off and hid. Strong ride.

Diggia also putting in work on the old bike. He continues to earn a ride. Hope it is with VR46 and not Pramac as rumored.

Joe Roberts said there is a 72 hour waiting period after a surgery before he can race so no race tomorrow.

 

When did he have surgery?

 

Last night.

 

That's going to hurt in more ways than one...

 

I believe it's a 48 hour ban after general anesthetic and it was this morning (local time) that he had surgery according to Hopper so he's about 18 hours outside the allowable time to race tomorrow.

 

You aren't gonna like the upcoming announcement.
