MotoGP 2023

[Autech]

On the whole spoiler front. Us old times of this forum tend to refrain from talking about moto2 and moto3 until a few days after just to be safe as not everyone watches them in order. Discussing the motogp is safe enough though as avoiding this thread is piss easy.

Predictable outcome really, whole bunch of non ducatis riding the wheels off their bikes to overcome the horde of Ducatis all working off each others data. Looks like the KTMs are inbound big time though, just wish Jack could put a whole weekend together. If Brad could learn to qualify he's in for a real shot too.

Maverick was looking fast enough to win it tbh, fucking shame but that's racing.

Mir's an interesting one, for a guy who won a championship just by staying on board he's crashing a whole lot. After reading the interview from Marc recently saying he deliberately sabotages team mates though I'm not sure Honda will be getting the best feed back to help Mir. I can't help but think a certain Moto2 talent might end up next to him soon though as KTM don't really have the space.

Interesting article by Simon Crafer on KTM and Jack Miller thought you guys might be interested

"they" (the unknown experts) say Jack used the wrong tire in the sprint, and that's where they usually get the data for the long race choice - made the wrong choice and couldnt keep up at the end. Seems feasible.

that was a good read thanks reckless - i've been watching him since moto 3 and so looking forward to him succeeding in mgp. i hope he gets his tendency to crash under control - no chance of a championship until then ... roll on the next race

That was a great read, thanks for sharing.

Even Jack said he used the wrong tyre.

Yeah, I' was surprised to see that too OAB. Maybe they should give Pecco a nice 10 second head start - for safety reasons if course

[iYRe]

So, either he is pissed off because he keeps crashing and is looking for someone to blame, or he has a point.
I think its a bit of both.
I also wonder, it seems to me that braking limits are different for different riders, different bikes, different riders on the same bikes.. so not sure how he can make the claim that because he is on the limit, no one should be allowed to pass him. If that was the case MM should never be allowed to pass anyone.

As Herve pointed out, Bagnia himself benefited from the reduced gaps between satellite and factory bikes, and now he's at the top he wants to reduce that benefit to other riders.

100%. Who is he to say that his limit is everyone else's too.

That was a good write up thanks Reckless.

As for spoilers I was sick and missed Spain so have to see if I can watch on demand when I have some time.
So if you lot wouldn't mind, please clean up previous pages I've been avoiding in case I accidentally check back a few pages. You can add them back once I've watched it. Thank you.

Vinales won

Bagnia
Prob seems very logical in his head
But it is entirely from the perspective of a man trying to defend his tittle

I doubt anyone else shares that opinion and he is going to get some shit for it

Herb Ponchural said try telling that to Bezz or Pramac
https://www.motogp.com/en/in%20the%2...ullsh-t/455698

He is getting ripped into by fellow teams and all and sundry on the internet

Vinales won

Thanks, but I've figured you are just trying to wind up James Deuce.

Boy will I be surprised.
