I mean downhill in general. Tru FQ is leading but still hasn't been consistent in all races. Management wise they seem to be a bit lost at the moment. They can't seem to manage their riders, it's either one or the other.

Petronas leaving SRT and MotoGP! SRT will drop Moto3 and Moto2.

What a race. Would be awesome if Rossi got on the podium. I would've thought Miller and Rins got the upper hand when they pitted ahead of the others but I guess it was too early for them. This is good for the Championship.

Vinales to Aprilia. What are the chances of Dovi going to Yamaha? I remember he was in Tech3 Yamaha after he was dumped by Honda. He did pretty well on a satellite bike back then.

Not SRT but Yamaha factory. The empty seat is still there and no rider is confirmed alongside FQ, just rumours.

Yeah, he is the obvious choice but in light of recent events, the silly season starts. Rossi's retirement opens up a seat at a pretty good young team, but Petronas' withdrawal makes the seat less desirable now with potentially no factory spec bike. Then Vinales's news confirms the empty seat at Yamaha and closes the door at Aprilia(where Dovi was expected to fill~maybe/maybe not). We will see where the musical chair lands next. But basically there's gonna be major shakeups in 2022.
Also read somewhere Miller's seat at Ducati not safe as his performance was not as expected. Same thing with Alex Rins.

A lot of fun reading stuff around. Just read with a pinch of salt.

Speaking of MM, the last two races I just kinda noticed his riding seems very reckless, his riding this season looks inconsistent. Maybe previous seasons he has been at the front most of the time so a lot less barging and banging was seen. That kinda riding does not look attractive to teams.

The Doctor delivers!(pun intended )

Sepang cancelled. So sad, wanted to see the Doctor's last race.

It's expected. Crutchlow may be able race again this season.

Meanwhile, in WSBK, Scott Redding leaving Ducati for BMW next year. I stand by my statement that he is an over-rated rider.

I think Ducati team is quite hard to work with, that's why Alvaro left despite having straight wins in his debut, now Redding also leaving.

Yes agreed, WSBK also not kind to ex MotoGP riders making transition this season. Rabat having problems every week. Folger also not making any impact.

The way Ducati has improved, Redding may be kicking himself in the nuts now.

In other news, Adam Norrodin returns to Moto2 to replace Jake Dixon for Silverstone, who is replacing Crutchlow who was replacing Morbidelli and now replacing Vinales. . What a rollercoaster!

Just the last 2 races. They can win.

I am mulling the possibility of a tie-up with former SRT Moto2/Moto3 Team. If it's up for sale(with a good price) maybe can take over.

Hafizh Syahrin is on the worse developed chassis on the grid. Having said that they have made some improvements over this season albeit very small. Unfortunately he has had a lot of injury issues lately. Hope things get better soon.

Redding again losing consistency. Both Lowes brothers in MotoGP and SBK also not doing that well.

These 2 guys are the aliens for WSBK. Great racing.
