DB needs to move to Moto2 - i think his style will suit bigger bikes better

I think the lack of MM has shown how good he really is. The rest may be consistently in the top 6 but he was consistently in the top 1.

On a shit bike, it seems.

His only real targets were the lap records.

Dovi has an excellent opportunity to be champ, the best fuck you he could possible give ducati....

Sadly, it is not just a move. Unless he gets a very good season in Moto3 he will have to buy a ride in Moto2 and unless he has got plenty millions of ZARS available, it will be in an " also ran" team with whom he will go nowhere, fast. The rumour that Petronas SRT wants to sign him for 1 year in Moto3 (2021) and then onward to the Petronas SRT Moto2 team in 2022 is hopefully true. Not only is Petronas SRT amonst the best teams, they have a path to MotoGP.

Imagine you are Valentino Rossi looking back on the weekend.

There were 9 podium spots available. VR46 Academy riders took 5.
There were 3 top steps available. VR46 Academy riders took 2.
Your VR46 Moto2 team takes 1 and 2 in Moto 2.
Your brother wins Moto 2.
You yourself place 4th in MotoGP.

A lekker weekend, all in all.

Sure, he and about 5 others seems to be in with a shot :thumleft :Quartararo just proved again yesterday that he is quick,but struggle with pressure.......like most of the current crop

Its there for all to see why HRC shifted little Marquez.

I think Vinales has some head issues...

Well, and racing issues for sure ! No use to post pole on Saturday and a good one at that, setting a new lap record and celebrating that achievement like there's no tomorrow ........and then choke up on race Sunday

Sure, but they have not been edged out by their current team. Dovi has

His only real targets were the lap records.

And yet MM's riding above his level/talent, whatever, has been coming for a long time. Foe a long time fans would swoon over his brilliant saves of the front wheel, forgetting that actually the front wheel should not have needed saving.....

Fans have not swoon over his brilliant front wheel saves, fans swooned over his many brilliant wins

Yes, that too.

But the front wheel saves is what led up to his exiting MotoGP.

No, he can ride more than properly, that is undeniable. I am saying that the opposition is pushing him over his limits, clearly.

seems more that his kak bike cant keep up with his talents --- to use your logic

sidetrack · « **Reply #937 on:** September 15, 2020, 03:09:45 pm »

Cant believe I'm saying this but maybe the Honda is bad and MM is just so good that he can still take it to victory

Was his brother and Moto2 champion not stone last on the grid this past weekend ?

The bike was developed for MM's riding style; which is clearly very different to everybody else who rides the Honda.
The same was true for the Ducati Stoner won on.

What's MM's riding style, pushing the front till it cooks?
