Bagnaia with another blunder during the sprint race! Vinales finally gets his unofficial first win as an Aprilia rider. Hopefully, he gets his official one tomorrow. Martin and Marquez trading aggresive overtake was quite heartbeating!

Razgatlioglu gets his first WSBK win as a BMW rider in Catalunya, beating Nicolo Bulega and Bautista. Iannone almost gets his 2nd podium as well.
Sam Lowes hasn't changed at all from Moto2. Another race lead followed by a blunder crash from him. |

The time when Bagnaia clashed with Marquez has already come and you might won't believe it, but I already expected it to happen today. *.*
Oh my, heartbreaking for Vinales who had technical issue on the last lap, but thanks to him, Acosta gets his first ever podium! The Special One waves the chequered flag! This post has been edited by Cow P: 24th March 2024, 02:52 PM |

All the drama at the end! What a star Acosta is.

Bagnaia can't turn in any earlier when Marquez was on the inside of him.

So, Liberty Media decides to acquire 86% of Dorna rights. Let's see if MotoGP will be as popular as Rainey / Schwantz / Kenny Roberts Jr. era. and WorldSBK with the Colin Edwards era.

Amazing race there at COTA! Outstanding drives from Vinales and Acosta. MM just can't catch that break...

Such an insane race on a circuit that was designed better for 4-wheel racing.
What a comeback by Viñales after a horrible race start, the moment he overtakes Acosta, that's a GGWP for him. But then it'll be a homework for Aprilia to keep their bike consistent, as I still couldn't accept the fact they ruined Espargaro's season 2 years ago. Unless Viñales finishes at top 5 frequently, he is yet to be a championship contender. Acosta leading most of the laps stressed me out a lot with Martin and Márquez riding behind him. Poor brave Alien trying to get away from The Shark. I've never seen him being that panic during his iconic rivalry with a 20-year old Quartararo in 2019.

Toprak Razgatlioglu claimed a thrilling victory in the second World Superbike feature race at Assen, as six-time champion Jonathan Rea crashed.
BMW rider Razgatlioglu prevailed in an eight-bike battle for the lead at the Dutch circuit. Reigning champion Alvaro Bautista was second and Yahama's Remy Gardner was third. It has been a disappointing start to life with Yamaha for Rea, 37, who joined the team after ending his successful partnership with Kawassaki at the end of last season. |

Razgatlioglu winning Dutch GP Race 2 last weekend also prove doubters of BMW (incl. myself) wrong. I thought he'd totally flop like Redding!
Looks like the 39-year old Bautista's about dominating the remaining season. *.* Poor brave him returning to MotoGP last season in the worst health ever (as this season, MotoGP restricted Ducati to send any wildcard rider—e.g. Pirro, Bautista—due to the new concession rules).

Press already started with the "will Acosta move to the factory team mid season?" headlines

Press already started with the "will Acosta move to the factory team mid season?" headlines And it could be happening, for this is the same Red Bull Motorsports (Gasly-Albon and Kvyat-Verstappen existed). However, they already denied the appearing rumors.Unlike F1, I don't think Tech3 is much a weaker team than the Factory either and this Miller-Acosta swap would just give Acosta more pressure. Out of these cases, Acosta looks cooler in red and the Spanish sub-manufacturer logo! This post has been edited by Cow P: 25th April 2024, 05:28 AM |

Just a weird sprint race.
Pecco crashed; Binder, Bestia, Alex (those 3 on the same corner crashed on their own mistakes), Viñales, and Marc crashed in the same lap. Martin takes the 'luckiest' sprint victory ever and I believe people's gonna be mad and raiding his Instagram soon for having a good luck charm. Quartararo is confusingly 3rd because of this incident, Pedrosa unluckily finished 4th again, already his third time as a wildcard rider. |

Quartararo receives an 8-second penalty due to the tyre pressure violation, dropping to 5th now in the Sprint. Dani Pedrosa 'informally' gets his first Sprint podium.
Some experts expressed their disappointment again, unsurprisingly, believing that this tyre pressure standard law is ridiculous and needs to be revised. I'm no experts, but is there any notable tyre pressure penalty before in either F1 or any other 4-wheel motorsports? |

Well that was absolute insanity
I'm no experts, but is there any notable tyre pressure penalty before in either F1 or any other 4-wheel motorsports? There was controversy with Mercedes at the 2015 Italian GP where both cars were investigated for having too low psi but ultimately no penalties were given. |

Spectacular race by Pecco and well done for getting a Spanish GP hat-trick. Thought that nobody could go any faster than Marc after his new race lap record and I was wrong!
Shame for Martin, a 42pt lead is cut to 17 now. Surely Pecco and Marc gave him lots of pressure this time. |
