MotoGP this weekend at 2:00 am Malaysian time

Let's hope he can maintain the same pace in the dry.

Wth Marquez???

Also crazy motogp race. Funniest starting grid ever

Crashlow. I was expecting him to lose it at the final lap . Hafizh finished a respectable 9th!

HS English is quite good actually.

I agree actually but they already slapped him with a 30 sec penalty which means quite difficult to add on another penalty.

Actually I was expecting this too.

But Rossi also got penalised before when he ran into MM so they cannot say that, they say Zarco didn't get penalised for Pedrosa Incident but they did not come into contact. MM/Aleix Espargaro incident however I think was not addressed properly, he was instructed to drop 1 place behind but I think he should have to drop behind Aleix instead. He made similar moves to other riders too(made Nakagami sit-up too). For rookies I can understand if they barge into others because lack of experience but for someone who has been there for a number of years, especially a multiple world champion it's quite bad. We only saw the major incidents on TV,especially with Rossi because he crashed, we did not see the other overtakes he did, I bet those were quite bashful too.

But then, the race is done and dusted, time to move on to the next one.

He blamed the official on the grid who told him to go back to his spot. From the replays I saw the guy pointing to the pit lane but MM went back to his spot anyways.
My take is :
1. Probably he couldn't hear what he was saying properly under the helmet and assumed wrong.
2. MM should know the rules and should know better, he probably thought he can get away with it because he is MM.
3. Race direction should have approached MM when he was on his spot already.

On the other hand, things were kinda in a mess at the time and no one had time to think properly on what to do but then this kind of things should not happen.

MM handed penalty for obstructing Vinales. Will start 4th instead of pole.

I really was hoping he could get points in every race

Yeah I agree, morenaction in moto2.

Sykes won race 2 last weekend

I watch as much racing as I can

I follow wrc during first couple of years of loeb. Totally didn't follow ogier years. Just watched on and off.

Yeah, I have been watching lately but not following.I saw Loeb coming back on selected rounds.

Tech3 puts HS55 and Miguel Oliviera on their rider wish list. Glad to hear that.

...and MM93 tops FP1...with 10 min to go

Final FP1 Dovi 1, MM 2, Pol Espargaro 3

KTM seems motivated by the signings. I think KTM needs a few more years for development. We see how Zarco fares but I think he does not have the experience as a development rider yet neither he should be (yet). Suzuki I think seems happy with their current riders so door is probably closed. Most probably also Red Bull can pay him a lot more.

MM crashed
