MotoGP 2019

Confirming my thoughts on what the final straw was. The article in Crash after the weekend where he moaned about not being able to fight etc after his best round on the bike.
Not good for business.
Not good for brand.
Not good at all.

Hope Kallio is rewarded with a full time ride next year, seems the most logical step to me

A bit short of Ducs there. I wouldn't have picked that podium either.

One out of three - and the easy one too.... A bit better than my usual predictions.

A lack of comments here. Are we all a little jaded now? What we need is some software that will blot out Marquez and give us back some uncertainty on race day.

Cheers dadpole, the racing threads seem to have died a bit huh. Tho Kiwibiker in general too seems real quiet compared to a few years ago.
Are we getting what we want from Facebook ?? or is everyone somewhere else ?

Summer is coming ,I'll be zipping by before long ??

Good thing we aren't doing the $100 challenge this year! I think we should give it another crack next year.
In picking the Yamaha's so early I forgot that Aragon has a motherfucker of a long straight for them to make the Yams life hell, good riding by Miller and Dovi, sounds like Miller learned some stuff following Dovi too which is good news for those of us hanging our hopes on him to stick it to MM one day.

Yeah noticed that myself, no hearty to fill our days. I blame MM, the freak.

I for one am mystified by the reasons for going MotoGP racing at Aragon. Cannot for the life of me see any real reasons for going there, other than Dorna being paid to do so.
The long shots of the mountains and Alcaniz are the best part of it for me.
The Wall is all well and good, but the track is a bit crap for MotoGP and out in the middle of nowhere.
No need for four races in Spain IMO.

Valencia is the Spanish track I want to see arseholed. There is talk of only three Iberian races in a couple of years - and one of those in Portugal.

Maybe I'm getting too old, or they are getting younger or I can't be fucked watching the undisputed king of Moto GP running away with it every race...I have watched all the rounds of the Speedway GP this year and have gone back to this as my m/c entertainment, after all, it is the purist form of motorcycle racing, alongside American FT...I have a new hero, Shayna Texter, she is fucking quick and shoving it to the boys...check her out...

Moto3 is my series of choice. As BT Sport describe them "Axe murderers on race bikes"

Funny I was watching the Cardiff GP as I read that. I use the FIM Speedway as a "filler" if I've only got less than an hour or so to watch TV. SKY also show the British club racing now too.
