MM went back to the table for a 2nd time and is out for next week if not the rest of the year if he's not careful. Don't know if the riding moved the pins/screws or just an (alleged) botched job the first time.

They said the plate was damaged due to "stress" Hmmm...maybe the push ups
and riding a 290 hp motorcycle isn't such a good idea with a broken arm.
If he's smart, he'll take the time he needs to properly heal. If not, he
could be risking his career.

The push-up video was the first thing to pop into my mind. Like flexing a piece of metal to get it to break Ouch.

Opening a large window in his house???

So I saw something interesting on the MotoGP site today. Apparently at Jerez 1 Yamaha insisted Rossi use settings from Vinales and Quatararo, with Rossi pleading with them that their settings don't work for him. As you remember, he sucked all weekend and his bike eventually broke. At Jerez 2 they let him run his settings. Result- 3rd.
At Brno, Yamaha again insisted he run one bike in the morning with Vinales/ Quatararo settings. Once again he sucked. I think he was in 16th. In the afternoon he ran his other bike with his own settings. 8th.
You'd think that Yamaha would allow a 10 times champion with 20 years experience to make his own decisions. I think he'll do better at Petronas

Zarco Zarco Zarco!!!
What a great qualifying story...

And the Petronas Yamaha boys showed the factory Yamaha riders a thing or two.
Just like Zarco did to the factory Ducati team.
Especially Dovi.
WTF happened there?

By the way Mad, your boy Rossi only has 9 championships, not 10...

Oop, you are correct sir. I guess he'll have to earn one more.
ForzaVale!

WHAT A MOTOGP RACE!!!

If you haven't seen it, do it!
So many great results in one race.

Story after story after story...

Great race. I'll attempt to not give away too many details.
I call the Pol/ Zarco mess a Racing Incident.
Rossi didn't do too bad considering his late issues.
Maybe Vinales should retire. He's just taking up space, right ?
Happy for Morbidelli
Awesome Joe Roberts found his Mojo again.
Onward to Austria !

A few years ago KTM said they wanted to beat the best, but too bad MM was not out there to stop it. Mav said the bike was unrideable due to the back wheel spinning up too much. I guess Rossi can spin it up no problem. The front is like pinball players for the rest of the year. MM made the word consistency mean no lower than 2nd all last year.

Speaking about consistency, how about that old fart slicing thru those youngies collecting points for the 10th and final time.

Oh look, chicken alfredo

After next season, no more referring to Dovizioso as "Desmo Dovi"!!!

Maybe Vinales should retire. He's just taking up space, right ?

Check out MotoGP P1 and P12 qualifiers at the Red Bull Ring today.
Any other questions Mad?

My point being, every time Rossi ( who isn't a great practice or qualifying guy) does bad, he should retire. Anybody else it's "Meh"

Haven't watched qualifying yet. Have to stain the front porch first.

Horrific horrific Moto2 accident.
Thankfully all riders conscious though I don't know how...

Dovi shows them up. Probably Mav. Qman is hot and cold looks like. He's no MM.

Horrific horrific MotoGP accident.
It is an absolute miracle that no one is dead...

These pictures are insane!
Watch the video at real speed when you can to see how horrific this is.
Morbidelli's riderless bike at high speed somehow finds its way between the minute gap between Vinales and Rossi, and then Zarco's riderless bike misses Vinales's head by millimetres.
This was truely a miracle that no one was killed.

I'm still shaking...

How many stories can one race have???
MotoGP just keeps producing.

And thank goodness everyone in the paddock will see the next days sunrise...

Maybe a couple of million dollars to write off this year. Moto2 was another mess. I thought it was Rossi who's head was almost decapitated? Missed the repeats. That's the way to stick it to that shitty duc team. Dani was patted on the back for helping develop the ktm, but let Dovi try to make a suggestion, those fuckers do not listen, but get their development from the wind tunnel.

I saw a frame, didn't catch it on video, where Vinales is covering his head with both hands while leaned over completing the corner. Amazing.
Moto2 crash was brutal. Hoping Syahrin is ok.
When you need a finger lift to retrieve your bike it ain't good

I think Rossi called it. That vacuum pull, then the brakes, and watching that bike move in a straight line, catches up to Mav and Rossi from so far back. Morbi might be too beat up for today. Zarco's hand might pass medical. It's a nothing screw and back to work.

Did you watch ATF? Dovi was back to letting the factory call the ball, not the normal way, i.e., rider input. Pol might be pissed enough to pull one off. I rather see Dovi shove it up duc's ass like last week. The dream team can place well, I'll call them the darkhorse.

Without MM, even your buddy might out point the rest of the field and just podium for that 200th time and beyond. Nobody is going to beat the record for a long time. Besides, 'show ain't over till the fat lady sings'.

Pissed off Pol, suz 2-3. KTM found something.

Yet another amazing MotoGP race with amazing results and stories.
Big lucky racers and big unlucky racers.

Plus how would you feel jumping off your bike with no brakes at 215km/h???

Wow, another amazing race. Mir didn't have anymore soft fronts so he kept using the one he was on that had 18 laps on it. Pol and Miller now belong to the Mutual Fuckup Club.
Glad Maverick is ok. I'm thinking he's down to 4 engines. Pit lane start ?
And ill just throw this out there...Rossi was top Yamaha....again.
