MotoGP 2020

[I&horse]

I think Zarco is seen as a bad boy on the track, last year he took Pol out in Silverstone and was also penalized.

"Clearly Johann took a funny line, a line that nobody has been going – never, not even once in the weekend – a super tight light into [Turn 2] just to cut ground to overtake me.

I find this weird? If you are in front you can pick any line you want if no one had taken it in the last 100 years you still have to look where the person in front is going or am I wrong?

I tend to agree - I have read and seen a lot of footge of the incident and am still perplexed. Morbs rode into the back of Zarcs - he was not brake testing him, he was in front and got rear ended. Unfortunately we do not know all the backstory politics that is inevitably playing into this drama. 

Yeah Dom, I am not sure what to make of it either. Why is Zarco carrying the can on this one....

Morbi must put on his big girls blouse, shut up and go and race now... This victim thing is no help to anyone

these guys use the whole track to race and turn corners. When someone does something stupid, unusual or not expected, then things go pear-shaped.

Zarco did something unexpected to get ahead. It didn't work.

whether he should be penalised or not is beyond me.

To me. it's all racing - best you know can get hurt or go home.

Strangely enough what he did worked and he was ahead ... the rest is history ...

kinda agree on the whole politics bit.  Simon the commentator said that JZ ran a little wider than usual which put FM in his slip stream which made it harder to brake and stop and that's why he went up the back of him.  All seems pretty feasible to me but the stewards seem to think differently. 

If you think of all the dodgy moves MM93 has pulled off without any ramifications then this leaves me slightly perplexed.

Indeed. MM punished himself with his last dodgy move.

While MM was out, there was no "overheating" probelems in the Yammie camp.
Coincidence?

Yep, and it appears now he won't be back for 2 to 3 months.

They do not have to ride the Yammies so hard to keep up with MM anymore. The other Hondas are snails.

In fact, I am sorry that Binder could not have had one of the Yammies this year, sweetest handlers out there.

And Yamaha is so special, even with "overheating" engines, they lead the championship.

Naka's Honda did not look too snail like ....

I've just cancelled my new T7..........................................................................Bike Brakes Matter!!!!!!!!!!!

   that takes guts to jump at that speed

  that takes guts to jump at that speed 

Yamaha should be using the Japanese Nissen brakes. Now their riders have to bail at speed with their European brakes.

Euro bikes ruled this one bud  The old man on the one and only Yamaha in top ten  What happened ?

Suzuki must feel robbed

Nee fok, kan self nie se nie oubaas.

This might be good racing but I can't be the only who thinks this lot are racing for second place.

You and Alberto Puig.

This season has been filled with the most extraordinary amount of weird happenings and incidents.

And it started with MM's stupid 1st race, breaking his arm.

[sidetrack]

I wonder though whoever becomes champion this year (think it will be Doviziozo sp) will feel like it was a bit of a hollow victory since MM was not in it ?

To finish first , first you must finish , MM didn’t finish that race which put him out for ages , he did it on his own , so no , not a hollow victory for the champion this year

[OomD]

Pity BB33 went wide, he was on par for a podium I'd say. And Espagaro and Miller racing each other out of a victory, classic Some great action, though.
