A special pole from MM93 but somehow I have bide vibes that his 9th consecutive win won't come. My bet is on Dovi though he had a tough weekend so far

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Dani's retired and all that, but he really needs to be benched for the rest of the season, no matter how ungrateful it seems, else Honda is going to lose the constructors.

That guy has literally 0 motivation to fight with, what is, the best bike on the grid. I meand a P8 is unsatisfactory, and he is losing constructors points.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Dovi on pole on his last lap and Rossi in 2nd from 12th on his last lap ,Marc pushed to 3rd from 1st in the last minute of qualifying .Should be an interesting start tomorrow with Lorenzo in 4th.Dani and Vinales in 10th and 12th at the back of the pack but Marc seems to have the best race pace looking at FP4.

Again 8th.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Both the Ducati riders did a great race with Dovi handling the pressure well and Lorenzo fighting back to regain 2nd very unlike his usual fading away once he starts falling back.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

solid last few laps between dovi, lorenzo and marquez...

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

GOSH!!!

How good of a motorcycle that Ducati has become. I'm shocked.

And good to see #26 finish a position better than where he was expected. (7th, vs his always finish 8th)

Also, something doesnt really add up. How can 99 be so good with the soft front+rear, and have 0 struggles. That guy is either a magician, or everyone misread the conditions

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

amazingly savage battle between JL and MM in the last few laps...terribly remarkable and one of his best ever rides by JL, winning such a close encounters battle on both soft tyres with MM on both hards, pulling a bunch of MM-like moves on MM..god knows how he setup-ed his bike that he managed to save his softs all the way to the end on a track whose surface temperatures were over 40 degrees whilst always running a solid race pace and battling rough with MM last some laps...great rides by both of them..

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

What a finish to the race,past 3 races Lorenzo has upped the game and what a fightback again specially with soft tyres when i expected him to fade towards the end and Dovi to be stronger.
Moto 2 had a similar ending with Bagnaia pipping Oliveira in the last laps .

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Any news about the misano test? And how did the yammies performed? I did not find anything convincing but got to know VR46 was fourth from leader JL99 by approx 2 secs difference, followed by MV25 on fifth position. Hope Yamaha solves their electronic problem pretty soon.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Crutchlow extends his team contract till 2020.
What a qualifying for tomorrow's race ,Ducati 1-2 and Zarco in 3rd while the factory Yamaha's in the 4th row.Should be a very interesting race tomorrow with rain playing hide and seek in today's qualifying.

Heavy rains and standing water forces organisers to cancel British GP. British weather wins .

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

dominating ride by dovi, seemed like he was not gonna take another defeat from JL at his home ground...entertaining few laps between JL and MM yet again, until JL's front failed him...good ride from cal and dani too who started way back..

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Marquez does it again and nice fight with Dovi .Just when you think Lorenzo would be regretting leaving Ducati he ends up on the gravel again .Fantastic results for Suzuki and sad for the Yamaha's.
