And Ducati is getting rid of Miller and not promoting Zarco.

No idea why Bagnaia is the golden child there. He has thrown away several wins with crashes.

Italian manufacturer needs an Italian rider? :roll: Bagnaia is basically the poor man's Capirossi 2.0. He'll win some races but he will never be consistent enough to mount a real title challenge. It doesn't help Quartararo basically never crashes out these days. Once he won that first MotoGP race the pressure was gone and he hardly looked back since.

I almost expect another garbage time stat-padding for Bagnaia in the second half of the season which he had last year already and then Ducati loyalists will hype the title challenge for 2023 only to experience deja vu.

Assen next weekend, one of Yamaha's strong tracks so FQ will probably extend his points lead.

Half-way of the season and MotoGP title race is the least exciting. Meanwhile in Moto3 Izan Guevara might emerge as Garcia's main rival with Foggia miles behind and Masia back to his no-show swoon. Over in Moto2 Celestino Vietti's luck from Portimao has completely run out and the pack has caught him. I wouldn't be surprised if Augusto Fernandez becomes the new #1 favorite soon.

That's likely to happen unless Bagnaia's confidence just plummets, which it very well could after today. :lol:

Ducati would be smart if they hired Mir.

One might argue Quartararo is the new Stoner though. Ducati has some fast guys but they are too reckless. Bastianini is like 1-2 years away from being a consistent championship contender if they choose him for the second works seat.

Bagnaia wins ahead of Bezzecchi and Vinales!

A. Espargaro came back to finish 4th passing Binder and Miller in the final chicane on the last lap!

Race declared after 3 laps. Half points will be awarded. At least Maria Herrera finished 8th. Pons is OK.

What a briliant race by Espargaro. Surely he would have won if he hadn´t been forced off the track!

What a clusterfuck. 30 millions down the drain. :tumble: :slaphead:

Quote:
The Kymiring motorway is being filed for bankruptcy
Image
Spoiler:
The MotoGP race, designed as a track attraction, was canceled this summer due to safety deficiencies.

In Iiti Kymiring oy, the background company of the Kymiring motorsport track located in.

According to the insolvency register maintained by the Legal Register Center, Kymiring oy has filed for bankruptcy with the Kouvola-based construction company Macra oy and Maanrakennus Pekka Rautiainen ky. The bankruptcy filing was filed on Tuesday, June 28th.

“We have agreed with these creditor companies that I would not tell you how big the receivables are and what they are all about,” the deputy judge Martti Koskinen told HS on Wednesday.

The law firm Martti Koskinen represents both Macra oy and Paanka Rautiainen ly in the bankruptcy case. Koskinen instructed Kymiring to address the issues related to the bankruptcy application Riku Rönnholm half.

“He is the company’s CEO and knows exactly why and how much,” Koskinen added.

Kymiring Oy:n On Wednesday, CEO Rönnholm informed HS that the company was aware that a bankruptcy application had been filed.

“However, we have not yet received the application, so we are not commenting on it at this stage,” he added.

According to Yle’s information The creditors have receivables of approximately EUR 370,000 and EUR 264,000 from Kymiring.

“Kymiring’s board and owners will discuss the matter internally tentatively today and in more detail after the application and its contents have been disclosed,” Rönnholm wrote.

Macra Oy:n managing director Jari Suomela said To Etelä-Suomen Sanomatthat unpaid bills have accumulated since May. The amount to be collected is almost 400,000 euros.

“When the bills are unpaid and things don’t progress anyway, then go like this. This has been more of a rule than an exception with that customer, ”said Suomela.

According to him, the situation has been repeated three times before.

“There have been payment difficulties throughout the construction of Kymiring. There have been similar situations in recent years. Payments have been received through a long wait. ”

Kymiring has suffered numerous difficulties. The MotoGP race, designed as a track attraction, was canceled this summer due to safety deficiencies.

CEO Rönnholm told HS at the end of May that the biggest shortcomings in the track area were in the tire ramparts.

Kymiring had had difficulty finding bolts or a conveyor belt at the time, Rönnholm added. In a press release, he wrote that the uncertainty was due to “supply chain delays and disruptions caused by the geopolitical situation”.

According to Rönnholm, Kymiring’s biggest concern, namely the accumulation of tire powers, was also due to the prevailing world situation, ie the war waged by Russia in Ukraine.
