QUOTE(Aydee @ Jun 14 2022, 09:44 AM) A lot of MotoGP riders at the WSBK race, I saw most of the VR46 riders. I spotted Rossi, Bagnaia, Bezzechi. Dovi was there too, maybe thinking of switching next year? Looking back I think Rossi should have gone to SBK for at least 2 years, it would be great if he could win a championship there but then he may not be consistently in the top too considering how competitive it is at the top, VR should have joined maybe 4 yrs ago while he was still competitive if to win a title in WSBK. skylinelover and RalphRatedR liked this post

FQ got 1 hand on the title already.Rivals keep making mistakes and losing points. Boring race.

Big blunder by FQ and great recovery from AE. Need to have a few more mistakes from FQ to get the title fight exciting.

QUOTE(Aydee @ Jun 27 2022, 08:30 AM) Great race in all 3 categories. FB was unlucky last race, now he is the lucky one as he has the chance to catch up. Never seen FQ crash twice in one race, great ride by Bezzechi and AE and Top Gun. But realistically FB is already too far back and will need more blunders from FQ to be within striking distance. I think only AE now still has realistic chance for title fight.Btw FQ is penalised in the next race to take long lap penalty so another chance for the rest to make up points against him.

QUOTE(Aydee @ Jun 27 2022, 10:28 AM) Yeah, I expect AE to take the fight to the end. FB is too far back but mathematically still a chance. Last season he was very strong on the 2nd part of the season. Traditionally Yamaha goes backwards in the second half. Big advantage to Aprilia though as they still have their concessions and therefore still can develop the bike further. If AE lost the championship by 9pts or less he will be looking back at Barcelona and pulling his hair out! Lol |

QUOTE(Aydee @ Jul 7 2022, 03:33 PM) I'd disagree, even though both on Yamaha's but totally different bike characteristics. As explained by Dovi, you can't brake as hard on the MotoGP bike, it's strength lies in the corner speed. Toprak loves stoppees. Yeah the bikes now are more on corner speeds so the hard brakers are having tougher times, probably that's why Dovi and also VR cannot be as fast anymore. |

QUOTE(Aydee @ Jul 13 2022, 01:28 PM) Such a shame, I am hoping he gets another chance with another manufacturer. He is a fast rider but somehow can't gel with the current version M1. Hoping at least for him to switch over to WSBK for a swansong. At least he can take pride in beating MM to the line a few times. |

QUOTE(voscar @ Jul 17 2022, 10:42 PM) First clean sweep of the season by Toprak! Yamaha rider suddenly back to championship hunt QUOTE(Aydee @ Jul 18 2022, 09:49 AM) SpoTV no show live, had to stream. Ironically he got his first triple win when he is not as dominant as last year. Almost got it last year but I think he had to drop one place because he was on the green. Yup AB crashed out in race 1 while TR swept all 3 races so he is back in the fight with JR now very close to AB too in 2nd. Hope TR can keep his momentum so all 3 will be right in the fight all the way to the end. Pity there was no broadcast on the 3rd race last time. |

QUOTE(Aydee @ Jul 20 2022, 09:47 AM) You beat me to it lol. If TN stays with LCR, I wonder how the relationship will go, Rins has been very critical of TN's riding lately. Well they just have to try get along. Lol New joiner needs to behave first though. |

QUOTE(voscar @ Aug 9 2022, 11:56 PM) Err, is this World Champion performance supposed to be? Credit to crash.net He was a lucky champion, more so than Hayden cuz only won due to FQ messed up. Meanwhile just realized that Austria track already modified for Motogp with additional chicane in between turn 1 and 2 to reduce risk of dangerous crash approaching the hairpin uphill turn 3. |

This race shows why FQ deserves to be champ. On a track supposedly dominated by the Ducs, he was almost challenging for the win while the other Ducs aside from Peco are not living up to the bike potential and making mistakes. Instead of working as a team to limit FQ, they just think and race for themselves and ended up beaten by FQ, dissapointing.

QUOTE(Aydee @ Sep 2 2022, 08:20 PM) If he is one of the top qualifiers should not be a problem for him to claw back positions. The thing is FQ seems fast in this track too, so stsrting further back will be difficult to beat FQ.BTW, 1 thing I have been wondering, why Zarco isn't even considered for the factory Ducati seat? Too old? Must be quite demotivating. JZ initially when he joined Yamaha looked fast during qualifying but somehow always fade away or make mistakes during races, so he is apparently not as good as he was in moto2 and now getting older.
