MotoGP | 2025 | Race 8 | MotorLand Aragon | GoPro Aragon Grandprix | June-6 to June-8

Glad to see Joe beat the series leader and his teammate. Solid finish. Can’t wait to watch moto3 later. Next up MotoGP.

 

Paging @motion , how many new lap records has Marc set in one day?

 

Marc’s done. The 2025 bike is a p.o.s.

lap 21 though…

 

93 finished and everyone still have 2 laps to go .

 

Wtf motogp? You show MM crossing the finish line, then go to the stands and red flags waving and then go to marshals congratulating/surrounding MM?

No video of the last few turns of aldeguere and morbidelli which was the best racing/battling of the race.

 

I don't know how true it is, but some media have reported that the slight change in engine internals and a lighter rear ride height device have changed the balance of the bike, thus affecting the front end feel. It would seem that would be easy to resolve, but I just watch them go roundy round. I offered to let them copy the geometry numbers from my '03 SV650 but no response yet. I expect a call back from Bologna any day.

 

Reminds me of when Doohan would obliterate the 500GP field and easily win the world title, then during the offseason the experimental Honda engineers would change a bunch of shit on the bike.

During the first test of the new season Doohan would command them "put that shit back the way it was."

And HRC would put that shit back the way it was.

 

With 3/4 lap to go Frankie pulled over a second gap and Fermin was nowhere close to showing him a wheel - not much to watch other than the 15-20 bike gap stay constant over the last minute or so... It was 1.5 at the line.

 

Interesting times....the Marquez brothers on the podium every week. I'm sure they're enjoying the ride.

 

Pecco said they switched to larger rotors for the warm-up this morning and things improved markedly with his corner entries. He has more confidence now. He said that before, it seemed as though he was getting less deceleration the harder he squeezed the brakes.

 

I heard them say that they had made a change last night but they didn't say specifically what that change was.

Is he like another Lorenzo or Vinales where if everything is "perfect" in his mind he can ride at the pointy end but if one little thing is "off" he becomes a bit lost?

 

Awesome elbows out battle between Fermin and Franky

 

It was interesting. He was just giving generic answers to the French tv crew about making changes but when Jules Cluzel followed up on it, he went into more technical details as if he respected the question more coming from a racer.

 

Regardless, I don't think they showed a single other bike cross the finish line, or announce 2nd, 3rd and so on even though we pretty much knew where everybody was finishing.....All MM TV once he crossed the checkered.

 

Where was this race?
What is Marc's nationality?
Any guess as to the nationality of the TV director?

 

They are selling the show.
It was Vale for 15 years, now the Marc show… they need to pump up superstars and stoke fan interest.

look at the WNBA - Caitlin Clark gets injured and tix for yesterdays game against Chicago go from $88 pre-Injury down to $3 at game time.
Without the Star, interest wanes.
Every league in the world knows this and every organizer tries to exploit it for revenue.
Not saying it’s right, just saying it’s to be expected.

 

I miss when MotoGP would let me have multiple devices open and I’d have multiple bike angles going with the main broadcast.

There are five riders whose first names start with F.
