Sounds like sabotage. Either Maverick was raged about that or team really wants to get rid of him.


Yamaha would be absolutely fucked if they sabotaged him. This was a case of Maverick having a hissy fit that has probably ended his Moto Gp career. His form and race craft at the start on full tanks certainly doesn't scream sign me does it?


Oh and in other sad news thanks to Zarco being a fuckwit last year (yes I 100% blamed him last year and still blame him).....

Bye bye Maverick. Act the fool some more.

Sigh... That is a dangerous section of track but I feel like the barrier they erected would prevent another occurrence of a similar crash. No need for the chicane really.

"In order to create more excitement and safety"

Yeah, those two things usually go hand in hand

F1 had the "Scheckter Chicane" in the late 70's and now MotoGP has a "Zarco Chicane"

What a nutso end to the race. Commentators need to find out how Miller and Rins pitted a lap earlier than everyone else but lost something like 20 seconds on their out lap.

I think they pitted a bit too early and by the time the rain was actually substantial, their wet tyres were already past their best by running in the mostly dry conditions till then.

what an instant classic, Bagnaia went on steady to the podium. Could also be one for Marquez had him not blunder

BT Sport has the best commentary.

What a race though. :8:

I watch the races live on Polsat Sport and they have a great duo there but the BT team is also good. They are not afraid to call the BS when they see on and aren't as British-obsessed as Sky in F1. Of course I still remember the Toby Moody/Dennis Noyes Eurosport days but one has to say bike racing has enjoyed above-par commentary over the years (and yes, I even remember German DSF broadcasting races during Sandro Cortese's heyday ;) ).

On BT, Neil Hodgson is a great commentator. Very funny and gets really into it since it is his passion. Honestly one of my favorite commentators of all time. The race where Nakagami threw away the win at Aragon, Neil's commentary was priceless. Absolute gold. :lol:

The other guy is great as well and they really complement each other. I can't remember his name though. :oops:

Should be Keith Huewen.

Dorna feed has Steve Day and Matt Birt. They shout and attempt to create drama about at the tiniest things even during a regular not so crazy race, so during an actually crazy race like this it gets really annoying.

Its a bit odd commentator duo because neither seems to be the lead or color commentator, they both do the same thing. Imagine if Sky F1 had 2x Crofty. I'd probably like more both of them if individually paired with some ex-rider that would calm down the commentating.
