Holy fuck 225mph on any track is insane.

Yes, it is

Sports - MotoGP 2022

Suzuki isn't updating their bikes at all. What's the point to spend millions on MotoGP when you aren't going to use the information to make newer, better bikes? That's why I would guess they are getting out.

Well shit hahaha. Not sure how i missed that!!!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I didn't use a fancy graphic, since I posted it moments after it occurred and none were available. Yours is definitely more of an attention-getter.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

You guys are slipping…. Catalunya this weekend,

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Nakagami is such an idiot

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Spoiler

I still don’t understand at all what’s going on with Morbidelli or Miller this year. Damn near last place for both, on some of the fastest bikes on the grid.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Spoiler

OMFG. Aleix!!!!!!! 9 points thrown away, dude prob feels like a complete moron. Talk about embarrassing

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Spoilers?

It has just started on MSNBCAHSJDUEJJE, recording now.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Well damn. I thought I used the spoiler tag but apparently was using the quote one lol

OPE

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Still not sure what someone would expect coming in to a motogp thread, on race day, without having seen the race. When I don’t want F1 or motogp spoiled I avoid IG, targeted news on chrome, and the threads on here

So yea

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

If I had the streaming package to watch live I’d use the tags.

Us bottom 10% TCG’ers have to wait for the delayed broadcast, which sucks.

I normally try to stay out of the threads, but that prevents us from talking about the race as it happens.

It’s just being considerate.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Oh Aleix, that's tough. Fabio with another great race though.

Initial thought:

Spoiler

Factory Yamaha, three laps in, one is in first place, the other is last.

Whoever the new second seat announcer is, they’re trying way too hard.

Discuss:

If you look closely at the replay of the first lap crash, Nakagami’s bike takes out Rins. But Nakagami’s HEAD is what took out the back of Bagnaia’s bike. You can see puff of something on impact, his head gets violently thrown backwards, and his smoked visor comes off and slides down the track and through the gravel trap. He’s going to be feeling that. Lucky he didn’t break his neck.

22 laps to go, multiple replays, announcers haven’t noticed it yet.

At 20 laps to go, they show Rins back in his garage, then immediately show the crash from a different angle. You can clearly see the brutal impact of Nakagami’s head into the rear tire. They finally acknowledge it, but like a passing remark.

That’s some damn good safety gear.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Yeah I feel Franco is going to be out of a job if he keeps this shit up.

Yeah it was super weird to me that they were talking about Rins' hard impact but not the fact that Nakagami took down a bike with his head, he absolutely could have broken his neck doing that.

I really want to hear what's going on with Morbidelli and Miller. Morbidelli finished second in the championship in 2020. I'm assuming his knee just won't allow him to compete anymore

Rins on Nakagami

“But then everyone started to talk about the stewards. For sure they are not doing their job well, it’s obvious. It’s obvious.”

Rins says he will put pressure on MotoGP to change its stewards, while branding double 500cc world champion Freddie Spencer – who head the stewards panel – as “too old” for the job.

“For sure I will put on pressure to do it,” he added.

“Forgetting about the incident in Mugello, today I’m injured, one rider took away chances for me to fight for the championship – but also Pecco.

“Pecco was there also fighting for the championship, and I think not anymore this year.

“All the three guys are there [in the stewards panel], they are not doing their job well. It’s clear.

“He [Spencer] demonstrated that he’s too old to be there. Some young people [should have the role], I don’t know, people who raced in the new era, someone who has already retired.”

Suzuki boss Livio Suppo echoed his rider’s comments, slamming the decision to label the crash as “a racing incident” as “unacceptable”

“We sent a protest to the stewards,” Suppo said.

“They checked the incident, for them it was a racing incident. For me that is not acceptable, to consider something like this a race accident.

“I think both Alex and Pecco deserve to know how big was the mistake he has done, clearly it was a mistake.

“It is very easy to check the data position of the rider, how many metres after the usual braking point he did.

“On top of this he totally crossed from the left to the right. If you speak with Pol… On TV it looked like he was very close to Pol [Espargaro].

“I think [if] race direction thinks something like this is a normal accident, we have to think about. For us it is not acceptable. A mistake can happen, but this was really big.”

“You can’t win a race in the first corner, but you sure can lose it.”

Ducati has plenty of good options for the factory team. Guessing it'll be Bastianini but we'll see

Same with F1. Technological advances are great, but man, they hamper the raw talent of man vs machine.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Man, Fabio is just riding insane right now.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Also I think it's time Yamaha brings Toprak in to Moto GP. Clearly Franco doesn't have it anymore.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Loved seeing Miller make that comeback. Shitty luck for Vinales.
