nevertheless the Espagaro brother's dominating the the fasted speed in Mandalika circuit.. both respectively and honda and aprilia
but as everyone , pol have no choice but to prove he is worth for Honda or bye bye for 2023... sometimes as a team mate , i feel like he is a bit show off to MM who just back from injuries ...
His best chance to shine was when MM was injured but then he took too much time to master the Honda. Hope he can beat or at least get close to MM this season.
The season has begun! Lol FP1, Suzuki, Honda, and KTM were fast with Ducati surprisingly not so, maybe sandbagging. Peco crashed though hence languishing near the back.
Feel a bit missing of VR, strange feeling.
Feels like watching a different championship without VR. Too early to tell who is really where. FP about to start.

Still can't gauge who is actually strong as top 10 is covered by less than 0.5 secs. Marini was superfast in the Mandalika test but nowhere in Qatar. Have to see who can perform the race distance tonight.
Maybe it's me but qualifying does not seem as dramatic as it used to be. The broadcast directors also don't seem to be doing a good job. Started showing results and focusing on the polesitter as soon as the chequered flag was out even though there were still riders on hot laps yet to cross the line.
Bastianini using GP21. It's a well-developed bike. The GP22 is still developing. Feel sorry for Pol, it was an almost win, just like Sasaki in Moto3. All Italian on top in all categories.
Good race with a lot of unexpected results. Rarely see a fully fit MM93 beaten by his teammate and other riders too. He seemed to be unable to keep up till the end. Great to see different manufacturers in the top 5.
Pre-asian financial crisis Indonesia definitely very wonderful
After 1997 yall should know the history already hahahaha
They got cancelled because of *you know ady* and Sepang take over their spot till the pandemic started
Thanks for the vid. Missed the warm-up yesterday so I didn't see the crash. But yeah MM really struggling with the bike with 2 crashes in Q1. I think he is the guy with the most crashes this weekend. BTW Indonesian crowd looks fantastic. Still a lot of yellow shirts around too.
He will make a great team manager just like other legends
Alberto Puig for MM93 Emilio Alzamora greatest 125cc pilot ever Roberto Locatelli Loris Capirossi Alex Criville (the man who take over Doohan throne) Lucio Checonello
Cant wait 2 see him in the paddock as The Boss
Will always remember him as winning the championship without winning any race.
Not sure about the particular incident but FQ is right about one thing, JM was always quite aggresive in the past. I guess coming straight from Moto3, the riding style is harder to shake off.
Too early to say, but I do think he should consider retirement. In MotoGP Unlimited ep 1, he mentioned he need to take care of his body so he can ride for more years, automatically I think of VR, he is the guy who crashes the least in his career imo, that's why he can last so long.
But MotoGP needs MM cuz he is still the biggest star after VR left. He is still young also and in full fitness still the yardstick for everyone to beat. The young guns in a way should relish the fight against him.
I don't disagree, if you can't race against the legend, you race against the next best thing
