Moto GP 2022

If that had happened at a meeting where I was CoC, the whole team would have been out instantly.
There are too many commercial pressures on race officials at that level IMO.

I thought I read that they were banned.. not suspended...

Well, we thought Marc would spice things up again, but not like that.. :/

Poor old FQ:
Quartararo involved in scooter crash after Marquez Aragon MotoGP clash (autosport.com)

Not a great return for Marc, not that either incident was his fault. Luckily it appears neither Taaka or Fabio were injured but man what a way to add some spice to the championship. Great battle at the end between the two future team mates, that'll make for an interesting dynamic next year. Aleix managed to pull something decent out of the weekend too. Roll on Motegi.

Were the bits of Fabio's bike that got stuck in the back of Marc's bike the wing bits? Marc also said things turned to custard when he operated the shapeshifter which jammed things up leading to the Taka incident.

Do we love these appendages and systems or did were prefer when men like Casey and Valentino raced bikes with smooth fairings that weren't going to get stuck up someone else's arse?

Biaggi the moving chicane......

Biaggi was fined for this at Suzuki 2001. rossi had the last laugh as he won and gave max the finger on the way through.


Dohan rated biaggi as one of the dirtiest. The other being luca Caladora.

On the money Merv ... shapeshifting stegasuarus's and electronics up the wazzooo. as for Biaggi, he did have a keen sense of survival... https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10157052110195769

Its not MotoGP.. but it is magic (pity we cant hear the bikes though)

From memory someone in the pom media said at the time that if Louie had ridden a 500 like that he might have gone further than he did.
Stroud's body language is interesting to someone who's watched him for many years. Relaxed.

I flicked it to stroudie on facebook hoping he might comment on it but he didnt, might not have seen it yet. I work in Pokeno, and a couple of weeks ago he stopped here for icecream and had the Britten on a trailer.. I got to about 3m away as he drove off.. would have loved to check it out up close

Rossi gave him more than the finger, it seems he gave him a bunch of five - or several bunches of five.

Hayden was also seen to be holding Biaggi by the throat against a trailer with fist cocked, after he received the Biaggi treatment.

I saw the carnage of the first lap during Sundays race.
Marc has definitely used up all his amazing good luck in his earlier years. Now it appears the devil is wanting back payment. An unbelievably gifted rider, but just cannot seem to catch a break now. I hope his next race comes good.
Oh, and normal Maverick service has resumed.

I think Mav lost a lot of places in the MArc incident.. I'd have thought he would have made up more places though
