Moto GP 2022

That's simple to deal with. Just develop an interest in World Superbike (WSBK) as well. Mostly, WSBK alternates weekends with MotoGP.

Might just have to do that, lol, it takes me awhile to get invested in the people though

i cant watch the rugby so this is my only sport fix - if they could do it every weekend that would be great

I can't watch rugby either. Or cricket, or soccer. Because they fukin bore the shit out of me.

Jonathan Rea has Youtube channel well worth watching IMO.

Those guys can't compare to professional motorcycle racers in MotoGP, WSBK, MX etc... IMO.

I like a lot of different sports.. cycling, motorcycling, boat racing, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, you name it.

For example, Paddy bevan won a stage of the Tour of Normandie today, left them all for dead in a sprint finish.. totally epic at the end of a 165km bike ride pulling 60-70kmh and winning by a few metres.
I cycle a lot.. those dudes are super human, I've seen video of them going downhill drifting their bikes and the police trained camera bike riders not being able to keep up. Damn exciting if you ask me.. and when you understand the tactics, etc that are required to get a dude like paddy to a spot where he can win.. *mind blown*

I used to like watching a bit of the Tour de France. Not so interested in the bikes or the racing. Just the touring through the French countryside while listening to the dulcet tones of Phil Liggett naming the varous chateau and churches.

hah, true, although it makes it a bit more interesting now with a bunch of kiwi's in the peleton. George Bennet is an exemplary human being (as well as a wicked rider) - he is regularly seen doing awesome things for fans and for his team - last year he was going for GC but lost too much time, cant remember which race, one of his guys was struggling to get up this mountain, so he rode back down this something like 12km climb, and towed the dude back up to the peleton - I'm the leader, he said, and I wont leave anyone behind. Its worth watching for stuff like that.

It's boring though. There's always one massively favoured rider/team and they try and make it look like they are all racing when there are massive gaps between riders. A competitive group dicing for a place is 2 riders. Sometimes 1 rider. It's full of ex-Motogp guys who can't finish a race at the pointy end to save themselves, let alone win. Perfect place for one M. Vinales.

Another great race last night. That save by MM was like the Marc of a couple years back, fantastic to watch. Has Pecco found his form again? Taking pole away from Fabio and then taking the win certainly would've helped lift his spirits. And my man Aleix, another podium and really making his mark as a title contender. Not a great weekend for Suzuki, but a great weekend for MotoGP in general with some fantastic racing.

It was a fantastic race. Moto3 was really good though. Izan Guevara pulled off a last corner move that should go down in history.
Mir apparently had points docked from a previous race, what was that all about?

Yeah the Moto3 race was brilliant, the action is frenetic in that class and Izan's move at the end was incredible. I didn't see anything or hear anything about Mir having points docked, where did you see that?

Mentioned in commentary on BT Sport.

It was one of those "make one tiny mistake and its all over" days eh?
MM in the interview afterwards said he had decided to take some chances today. The first overtake was just instinct, but he knew he had to do it where he wouldnt lose speed/run wide because he knew Aleix would pass and get away. That last pass on Miller was a risk (he said). Interesting, the commentators and so on pretty much said that result means Miller is out of the factory team. He certainly seemed "resigned" in his interview.

Things sure are getting interesting now.. but how the hell can those guys be 10 secs faster than everyone else? Is it just because they got away at the start?

Twitter is discussing the withdrawal of Suzuki from Moto GP. Apparently there are indications this is happening. Mat Oxley understands it to be factual.

Simon Patterson says the team members told him today.

Just watching the crash.net podcast, will see if they mention anything
