Moto3 race start now

You attending at Sepang track? Was it full house there?

No
Watching this on astro
Most probably will be A wet race, so might as well I just watch this race on TV

Stupid decision by ogura. Should just settle for 2nd. He took the risk.
Now zero points.
Silly.

Immature actions by Bastianini.... Creating tension in Ducati group....

Can feel he's not happy with the result...

It's not I'm supporting team order but sometimes winning the season is important...

Next year ducati Civil War

EB must toying with the emotions of the Ducati bosses! Lol Staying that close and even overtaking the lead at mid race must be raising the blood pressures of those Ducs mgmt thru the roof! But kudos to FB to just get on and win it. Now only a major blunder will prevent him and Duc to finally win the title with the biggest comeback in history.

Very nerve-wracking race! I kept thinking if EB made a blunder surely they would drop him next year despite a signed contract. He should think long term and just stayed behind throughout and beat FB for the championship next year since he definitely can't win it this year. But that is probably just typical Italian fire

Next year is another start, it's never easy to predict which bike would be dominate, remember Ducati's sudden slumped in form during 2019 when everyone predicted Dovi would've won after MM's big injury?

Hahaha yeah he was close to a blunder like 2-3 times but maybe to him still reasonably under control and not as risky as we spectators see. I think he behaved like that because it was for a win, otherwise maybe he wouldn't challenge as hard. Next year we might see fireworks between them.

But this year the Ducs advantage seems much larger and they have more in numbers too. The fact that FB can claw back 91pts and on the brink of maiden title shows how dominant the Duc is in the last 2/3rd of this year. Note that he crashed a few times too, otherwise he would have won the title 1 or 2 races ago! Ducs during Dovi's time was never this dominant.

Unlike this year's(and last couple of years)where bike gets better towards the 2nd half, previously it got worse towards the end. I got the feeling that Marini might have an advantage next year( the first half at least) as he is on the same bike, which will be fully developed and very familiar bike to him. The other 4 factory 2023 bikes will be like this year with some bugs needed to be sorted. The other 3 on 2022 bikes will be familiarizing with it.

I can say the same with Quartararo many races ago if he didn't put out stinkers at Buriram & Phillip Island. The title race looked like it was a foregone conclussion.

FB has 5 DNFs while FQ has 3 so far. In 2 of FB's DNFs he was actually the fastest guy on pole too. So despite the 2 DNFs more than FQ, FB practically has sealed the title with 1 more race to go. That shows how dominant the Duc is above M1. Overcoming that 91pts deficit was just remarkable which surely nobody predicted.

Thank you Selangor Govt for jacking up the ticket price for this year. At least there are only 20K people less this year compared to 2019 when Rossi was still around and the price was more reasonable

I think few reasons also, obviously because of the price hike for one. It's also Deepavali holiday so most would probably prefer to go on holiday/balik kampung. Another is lack of marketing and promos. I didn't know we had wildcards until Friday practice. They should have promoted our wildcards to garner support, we had 3 wildcards, 1 in Moto3 but especially in Moto2 there was a wildcard team even. There were even contests to win tickets last time on the radio but no mention at all this time. Razlan was probably better at managing Sepang compared to the current boss.

FB needs only 2 points to win the championship.

What are the chances that he will dnf in the remaining races ?

Hahahaha.

Damok was announced to join as a wildcard back in August
https://paultan.org/2022/08/17/damok-confir...y-this-october/

Meanwhile, for Petronas Mie, it took them a while due to Azroy, Kasma and KIP all riding for different teams and sponsorship in Malaysia Cub Prix/Asia Road Racing.

But yeah, Razlan knew what locals wants, and he is faster at doing stuffs. But I also would put the blame on Petronas themselves for not promoting it better

Also
Nobody mentioned this but Damok is joining Moto3 full time next season
