November 28, 20231 yr Author Some new looks: @1729242904168984608@1729193933916492225@1729126630327771251@1729194625724801125@1729232186946322934
November 28, 20231 yr Author The scenery is just like 2011 where photographers and press are standing near Rossi's weak Ducati bike.
November 28, 20231 yr Author As expected, Marc already tames the beast as he smiles in front of the team after finishing his first run. Meanhwile Morbidelli is struggling, Rins has a potential, and the 1.8 second slower Acosta looks decent too.
November 28, 20231 yr Author Marquez brothers are 1-2, and Raul Fernandez is surprisingly 3rd. I know it's just a pre-season test, but it already feels like a humiliation to both Pecco (#6, +0.510s) and Martin (#10, +0.692).
November 28, 20231 yr Author No problem! I felt like I had to start this one and ASAP, so that I could start the early hype and change its description whenever it's needed. :lol:
November 28, 20231 yr Author Results: @1729531144444510230 Guess there'll be no MotoGP updates until February 2024, when Sepang Shakedown and Lusail Test are held. Finally, unless the rumor is false, Aprilia will announce Trackhouse Racing as their main independent team sponsor in a couple of days. Trackhouse Racing is a NASCAR team owned by entrepreneur Justin Marks and rapper Pitbull, which has won 6 races since its debut in 2021.
January 22, 20241 yr Author New looks from 2 Team's Championship contenders: @1749372583542448511 @1748767204265361827
January 27, 20241 yr Author These satellite teams look so fresh! @1750169204202815882 @1751160878919995594
January 31, 20241 yr Author Inflation aside (as politic bloc might interested talking about), Termas was one of the best circuits in the calendar. Shame we will miss it this year. Saw an additional news that MXGP almost cancelled their Argentinian GP as well, but it looks like everything still goes as planned.
January 31, 20241 yr Whatever happened to this Finnish MotoGP race? Reminds me of the never-to-be Vietnam F1 race, cancelled twice for different reasons then never seen or heard about again.
March 11, 20241 yr Author Hopefully Acosta's overtake on him will live rent-free in Marc's head cuz the kid is indeed gifted. Nonetheless, Marquez's 4th place last weekend showed that he will definitely inevitable in his signature tracks (i.e. COTA, Sachsenring, Aragon). Bagnaia and Martin are clearly title contenders, but I will not rule Marc Marquez out yet.
March 11, 20241 yr Yeah Acosta provided most of the entertainment in an otherwise dull season opener. Top 2 from last season true to form, Martin winning the sprint and Pecco imperious on a Sunday.
