MotoGP 2020

And next week KTM’s home race

[sidetrack]

Zarco takes out Pol,
That really was not deliberate, it looked as if Pol closed the gap and then they touched. I feel sad for Pol and KTM though.

Yes I cant see how Pol could have backed off mid corner, he was fully comitted

[billy-joe]

Pol ran wide and there's no way Zarco couldve seen him coming.  Pity though, it wouldve been awesome to see Pol and BB have a go.  I could hardly watch. Kept thinking he'd crash but so stoked he didnt.

Ek hoor Brad se bike het nog inloop jets in. Volgende race gaan hulle daai groot main jets insit, en die ports n bietjie Dremel......

And for that final boost they are fitting  a competition Cowley

Brilliant race by BB 33 

[Dustbiter]

That was a brilliant win by Brad Binder yesterday!

But why are some news media in South Africa mentioning this win as the first South African to win in MotoGP?

What about Paddy Driver, Alan North, Kork Balliongton and Jon Ekerold??

Or are they only referring to the "modern version of MotoGP"?

"MotoGP" is the term used for modern 4stroke racing at the highest level in motorcycling. Before 2003 this class was called 500GP.

[JonW]

Did Kork or Jon Ekerold ever win  a 500 GP?

As far as I know neither of them did, only won 250 and 350 races, never the 500cc premier class.

[Dustbiter]

Thanks, I stand corrected, they both only won on 250 and 350cc bikes, and so by the definition given by 2StrokeDan, they do not qualify. Even though they also rode 500cc bikes, but never won a race on them.

A couple of Rhodesian's won the premier class as far as I know.

True, that old Redman oke did pretty well

Kork Ballington won 250 and 350 titles for Kawasaki, and rode their KR500, but Kawasaki withdrew from 500's before the bike was competitive.

Jon Ekerold is the most amazing story of all, a privateer beating factory teams to win his titles.

Don’t forget Ray Amm and Gary Hocking

Please explain to me why Zarco got penalized, to me it looked like he had the inside line and Pol tried to go around the outside and went into JZ

Also think that JZ got penalised unfairly.
