Moto GP 2022

<sub>Looks like a man who wants to win races...

I posted a vid awhile back on his last recovery, he was on a 600 and on a track with other riders, one was a youtuber who was quite fast and on a zx10r racebike.. MM was getting dropped on the straights, and thats about it lol

Oh, yeah this one:


This one is also interesting</sub>

As always this next race looks like it'll be pretty exciting...Vinales has got his tail up - looks like he's sorted himself out finally. Tuesday's test will be real interesting too with marquez back , but the big question surely is have Yamaha been able to build a rocketship engine? If so it'd be good to know how they squeezed more power out of it while keeping it useful for a full race.

He did make some pretty bad comments about the bike over the year... Personally I wouldn't drop him over the other Fernandez but... This is the team that arsehole Iker for no apparent reason.

Surprised Dorna didn't step in to keep the diversity on the grid more intact... $$$$$$$$$$$$

Remy was in Moto2 a while its true, never on a decent bike though until his title year IIRC, once he got on a good bike he was good to go. Most of these "Rookie sensations" are only able to be rookie sensations as they have the backing to get a good bike. Yes they have to perform, but they also have a huge team behind them that others might not have.

Remy's comments were very reminiscent of Wayne in his prime about the Honda being developed around Spencer. But nowadays that's not how you keep a ride.
Professionalism on and off the track nowadays means toeing the sponsors or factories line.
He also seems to be one of the riders who has to be in a class a season or two before he's comfortable. Pity he's not getting another season.

Well, that was a helluva race..

My word.. no fingernails left.. lol.

And MV.. he's doing pretty damn well.

I was surprised, that boy has been doing great...

My fav Yamaha #20 has been peddling on the Yamaha .
5th wasn't bad considering, at Misano .

So Dorna has been bought. The circus is going to have a GP in Saudi Arabia. Money talks.

Doohan afterwards used to say the same thing about His bike being tailored to Wanye LOL.


Reading what both have said they used to have to fight with the young engineers as they liked to change everything.
After a few years Burgess and Doohan had enough pull that they could get them to stop changing what worked.

that aside as much as i admre Mick and think he was one of the greatest ever.
Freddie was supernatural at his peak.

"Freddie's an unbelievable rider. He brakes late, the thing slides, he gets on the gas early and comes out of corners on opposite lock. It's something I've never seen before and I'm sure no one else has either." Barry Sheene.

Freddie Spencer was able to charge turns so fast that when the front tire started sliding from being overloaded he could keep the bike from crashing by adding just enough throttle to relieve some pressure so the front tire could regain grip Freddie Spencer won 3 World Championships using this technique

There might be a torrent on it.. I am sure Crash.net will have youtube up at some point with talking points.

I found this.. its just bikes going round but the sound is great

[jato]

Looks like an improvement in the Yamaha's speed but still a few k's down on the Ducatis and Aprillias... It's going to be a tall order to hold of Bagnaia for the rest of the season.
Oh and i found this - its just motorbikes too but listen to these engines...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWO2k63OFhc
