Race of over 70 miles, first beats second by a few centimetres...................

Rins even pops his head up to get a good look............................................

That's a great photo either great skill to get the timing just right or very lucky.

Sorry for Dovi (and Fabio Q). These guys are superheros...

When will they grow up?

 

Today the GOAT and the heir apparent f**ked up each others qually laps leaving them 7th and 5th on the grid at Misano.

 

Then both blamed each other when called in front of the stewards - who should have sent them both to the back.

 

They're as bad as the F1 knobs who did the same thing last week.

Think the problem is called OLD ego and NEW ego.

Just seen some video. No wonder riders are getting ****ed at Marquez. Every week he goes after a tow to get his qually done, just the same as the slow guys do. You'd think his pride would preclude tricks like that.

 

Anyway joining the caravan club and grabbing a tow is one thing, but overtaking the tow bike and wrecking his qually lap is quite another. Downright rude.

Alex Marquez save this morning in Japan.........

 

What a talented family !

Spoilt Brat of the Week... Come on Down...Miguel Olivera!!

 

KTM have announced Brad Binder will come up from Moto2 and take over the Zarco works bike next year, so Miguel, currently on the Tech 3 bike has a massive public paddy, toys out of the pram and everything. He feels like he's not valued Wah Wah! 

 

Hours later, KTM bosses and Tech 3 bosses reveal that Miguel was already offered the works bike, but turned it down to stay at Tech 3.

 

What a damned self entitled snowflake he is! I'd give him a final warning for this and sack him for the next outburst. There must be loads of other riders who can do the job and not publicly undermine the company or management.

Young Fabio on pole. All Yam front row. Marquez? Well he waited for Quantararo to tow him but couldn't keep up...big high side at turn 2 so P11.

Just bruises and cuts for M Marquez but down in middle of grid.

 

Yam will but which one ?

 

Petronas-Malaysia-Sepang would be super happy after investing in motogp and being snubbed by F1, due to lack of interest by local fans.

Well deserved bruises IMO because,

 

I just don't understand why the best rider by far can not pace his own qually laps without getting a tow? 

 

If it was Hector Barbera or Alex Barros or Karol Abram or some other nearly man who fell off in this circumstance I could see, but Marquez is a motorcycling God who shouldn't need to demean himself at every race like this to sneak a few extra kph off a mere mortal.

Lorenzo retires.

5 world titles and 68 gp wins.

Well done 👍 👍 Champ.

Shame he could not click with the Honda.  Was best suited the Yam.  Did use to mess up others trying to overtake, including team mate Rossi, when he was in his metronomic mode, but undoubtable one of the fastest riders of the last decade or so.  What do you do from here ?

Shame. He seemed quick testing the 2018 Honda, but the new bike just didn't suit anyone but Marquez.

Just watched an interview with Susie Perry and Lorenzo and it seemed a combination of too many recent injuries at 32 years old and the Honda being set up over the last 5 years to totally suit Marquez unique riding style which sucked all the initial motivation from Jorge and it had been on his mind as early as Assen.

Good to see Moto3 back even without Motogp.

McPhee on the 3rd row

MotoGP look like cancelling Austin. Wheres round 4?

With so many Italians in MotoGP, riders and the Ducati Team, could be a non-season.

 

Moto3 was very good and Brit McPhee got second place from 9th on the grid so well done.

 

With the great WSB action not missing MotoGP too much but WSB is going to be affect now as they were due in Qatar which is now postponed.

 

And the next one please. Round 4 Argentina - CANCELLED

 

Broken humerus for MM................

 

On the flip side great win for FQ and Yamaha Petronas Team.

 

 

 

Awful crash. Could see his upper arm was broken at the end of the replay on TV. It just looked all wrong between elbow and shoulder. No doubt he wont miss a race though.

Mav + Vale 1-2 today. 

MM back on the bike tomorrow with pinned humerus!

What broken arm ?

Braking on a MotoGP bike is compared to doing handstands and then doing push ups whilst doing the handstands.

Impressive even for us Yamaha fans.

Well done Nakagima else there would have been no Hondas in the top 15 !

 

Q3 this morning.
