Will Rossi still be riding next year - or will it be him and Luca for a year in VR46 before he goes full time into management?
He just doesn't have the pace of the kids at the minute - just can't seem to get to grips with the Yamaha at the minute.

just caught up with Moto3 - another banging race. Commentators expecting last lap drama - boy was that an understatement.
As for McFee - jeez.
Old news I'm sure but how did Fenati get back into motogp? Did he do some penance on the top of some remote mountain for his sins?

Yeah he got sacked and banned for a while. Somehow he got offered a bike back in Moto3, and to be fair he's kept his head down. I'm not a fan of his, but he's starting to get results lately.

He was disciplined on numerous occasions for foul conduct, sacked from various teams and AFTER that interfered with another riders brakes at 200KPH. He should never have been allowed near a track again after that, ever!

Not surprising though that he is. Just look at the carry on that goes on week after week in Qualifying. The riders seems to have no regard for the consequences of such dangerous carry on and why would they? The FIM need to start imposing proper penalties before someone is killed.

12th place for the quickest Yamaha this morning!!

Le Mans being shown live on ITV4 this weekend for anyone interested who doesn't have a TV sub.

I didn't see the practice, don't know why Jack is 1.5 secs up on everyone. Jack had last minute slicks on what was otherwise a wet practice.

What a qualifying

h3000 · 16-05-2021 1:07pm

I love motorcycle racing

:eek:

h3000 · 16-05-2021 1:10pm

Now we will see the talent shine.

4Ad · 16-05-2021 1:11pm

Jaysus, this going to be interesting !!

h3000 · 16-05-2021 1:22pm

I think my heartbeat is even faster than the riders now.

h3000 · 16-05-2021 1:48pm

WooooooHooooooo so ****ing happy.

h3000 · 16-05-2021 1:51pm

I was hoping Vale would have went a bit better with the rain but it wasn’t to be.

tommyboy26 · 16-05-2021 2:11pm

what a race. could not be happier for the winner

I was hoping he would come in for slicks about 10 laps from the end and then pull off a miracle (dreaming of course!) :rolleyes:

Wsbk over for another year.

Have to hand it to Kawa, even with the short notice Rev cut they just just have such a handle on every situation and track now.
The odd race may suit Ducati but you can't envisage Rea finishing outside the top 3/4 ever.

It’s a small bit early for that but the Rea Kawasaki partnership is amazing.

100 superbike wins for Rea. Great achievement

Jason Dupasquier RIP

Very sad news.

h3000 · 30-05-2021 11:52am

Oh Sam!!!

h3000 · 30-05-2021 12:06pm

Ah FFS that Roberts penalty was so so harsh.

h3000 · 30-05-2021 1:45pm

And again with Olivera FFS :mad:

Olivera gets his place back as Mir exceeded track limits too apparently. If the rules have to be that strict should at least one of them give up a place to Zarco too?

Effing ridiculous when it means no advantage, need to rethink the positioning in a few spots.

Here's why there's penalties for going onto the green.
In the past, the green tarmac was grass. The teams and riders complained it wasn't safe. And rightfully so. You go onto grass at speed and it's not going to end well.

So they replaced the grass with green tarmac with the proviso that you touch it, you get a penalty. And that's fair.

Gremlinertia · 30-05-2021 3:47pm

Absolutely grant you that, just pondering the possibility of discretion in judgement, frustrating all round for position especially moving point scoring or podium positions post race.. It takes from the spectators element and that's important financially as much as the points are to the teams.
