MotoGP Silverstone

[Lucky Jones]

Pretty good sprint, some surprising struggles with tire wear and fading grip.

Good result for some good riding. Hoping tomorrow is similar.

Not a good result for Ducati. Much better for
Aprilla.

I'm fine with that.

Everybody complained about the rear tire including the winner. Maybe a medium will work better than the soft in the full race.

Considering how his sprint went, it was a great result for Raul. I'm also happy for Bez and his solid weekend - hope he settles down and can build from here.

Looking for more detail on how
the weekend went the way it did for the Lenovos.

Pedro was impressive - no business being 5th that close to the winner with the detuned KTM engine.

Bez looking a lot like Lorenzo after Assen 2013, just EXHAUSTED and sore.

Alicia is at a MotoGP event?
Oh, never mind.

Raul rules again.

Trackhouse with the wins again.

Did not see what happens to Ai.
Bummed he was not in The mix.

Did not see what happens to Ai.

He lost the front and slid off into the gravel half-way through the race (lap 10). He had the bike picked back up before any of the workers could come help him. The announcer said that it was his first mistake of the season.

I have a problem with MotoGP lately deciding who to root for, because I want Marc Marquez to win, and also Jorge Martin, and Marco Bezzecchi, and Ai Ogura. I want to see all of them win. Maybe I could become a fan of Raul Fernandez and Pedro Acosta, but not yet.

Moto2 was pretty sweet! Good, close racing, closer to Moto3 clusters.

 

[budman]

I got a lot of catching up to do.
Sounds fun.

 

[Jammer]

The last lap of Moto2 was amazing

Impressed with Marco Bezzecchi this weekend and hope to enjoy the the Aprilla bros racing for the championship. Like Marco to win cause it’d be his first. Nice to see Alex pass his brother and keep it up.

Watched the Q1& 2 sessions, both the Sprint and GP now. Trackhouse had a great and not so great weekend.

Of course got the spam but Trackhouse stuff email.

It is entertaining seeing Marc, Alex and Digi struggle a bit. Pecco once again not really jiving with the bike.

Still need to catch Moto2. & 3.
