Moto GP 2022 Season

Did Raul sign for Yamaha? Didn't know that... And then what happens to Darren Binder? Thrown by the wayside? Crazy.

Part of me would love to see Toprak in MotoGP but I get the feeling he'd like to stay in WSBK. He would have to work a lot harder in MotoGP and I get the feeling he's comfortable where he is and with the money he's making and there's no harm in that.

Personally, I love seeing Johnny, Alvaro and Toprak fighting each WSBK weekend and it' just wouldn't be the same with just 2 of them and Toprak in MotoGP. Nobody seems to be able to match their pace, not even close.

Well since Maverick has just signed a 2 year contract , he is looking secure for 2024.

His quali position today is slightly misleading, Aleix was fastest following a tow from Maverick but when Aleix went return the favour something went array - possibly the yellow flags for Zarco, it wasn't clear fromthe coverage.

Miller and Binder at factory KTM looks increasingly likely with Olivera informing the press that a demotion to Tech 3 was on the cards if he wanted to stay at KTM.

Olivera going to LCR Honda is looking a more likely possibility.

That was my point. Why did they offer him a new 2 year deal? What do they know that I don't? Because I certainly wouldn't have offered him a new contract. He's consistently rubbish. Despite finishing every race this season he's finished inside the top 10 only once and never inside the top 6. Did Aprilia really have no better option? Did Aleix talk them into it?

Aleix !! 😫

While I'm also gutted for Aleix and would have loved to see him take another deserved podium

1. He's not a rookie. He's been here plenty of times so should know about the circuits counter.
2. He also has a pit board being shown to him each lap. I presume the laps remaining was on this too.
3. He crossed the line but didn't see the chequered flag.

So it's a bit confusing as to why he thought the race was over.

Honestly thought Taka broke his neck. His helmet/head snapped back when it hit Peco's rear wheel. Looked nasty.

I know it's bad and I feel a bit sorry for Alex, but at the same time I thought it was hilarious. It's a long time since I've seen that happen.

He couldn't see the pit board very well as it was the first one around the corner so difficult to see. He was looking at the tower I think for info. He won't make that mistake twice I'm sure.

Goes to show the high level of gear they have now.

Rins has a fractured wrist. Not what he needed. Any closer to the summer break might have been alright but there's a few races to go first.

Miller to KTM is a done deal

After 2 great years of MotoGP, I'm finding this year extremely difficult to get excited about on race day.

I fast forwarded a lot of yesterdays race after midpoint and I didn't miss anything really. I'm really thinking of logging in and unclicking autorenew for the VideoPass for next year.

Anyone else find the same? Earlier races in the season were great tho I must say. Maybe I'm just being impatient after 3 borefests

WOW!

think his riding style might suit the m1 and be closer Fabio would like to see it happen but like him wsbk also !!!

Pedro Acosta is expected to return at Silverstone, definitely a star of the future but another season in Moto 2 is needed.

Assen this weekend which will suit the Yams so it's hard to see beyond another Fabio win - surely 'Alien ' status has been achieved? .

Breaking news that Rins is expected to be announced at LCR ( Mir at Repol Honda is a done deal according to all reports ) while Aprilla have apparently made Miguel Olivera an offer he couldn't refuse and have snatched him from Gresini Ducati. RNF gain is Gresinis lose who will almost certainly need a replacement for Enna Bastinini. (Bez from VR46 with Vietti to VR46 ??).

True.

Very hard to watch especially when the BSB and WSB is much closer racing.

Emotional seeing the R1 with Wayne on board.

BT Sports are doing a special on it and there will be a short version shown in the build up to the Moto GP race.

Moto 2 providing the best qualifying entertainment today , Moto GP ruined by yellows and Moto 3 ruined by riders trying to get a tow.

Fabio and Yamaha looking good for Moto GP, Lowes and Arbolino on a collision cause again ! Canat has withdrawn as has KTM bound Pol Espagaro

Moto 3 - whats going on at Vision quest? Murmurings earlier in the week about sponsorship issues and lack of results and then Scott Ogden when interviewed mentioned things happening in the background and then when asked about qualifying said ' he was distracted by other things going on in the background '.
