MotoGrandPrix-Germany 2019

[Sportbiker]

Alex Rins is the quiet warrior. Hopefully he will have a great result.

I'm not biased, but I do think Suzuki is the most beautiful bike on the grid. That exhaust just oozes supermodel beauty..

More Moto E smoke please

But NOT like pre-season!!

oh, forgot about that!

Watching MotoE pole now. Kinda weird to hear the announcers almost whispering because there is no engine noise to talk over.

Also kind of weird to see so much variance in pole times.

Everyone have a splendiforous race day! If you go riding afterward, keep it between the ditches. :ride

 

[Kestrel]

Another week... another parade to the podium, and the inevitable.

Sigh.

 

[scootergmc]

It's a thing of beauty.

Maybe Yamaha will give Valentino the boot early and put Quat on the factory bike...spice things up.

This has to be Rossi’s final year. He’s struggled mightily since CotA. His body is probably showing it’s age by now.

 

[budman]

Rossi will have to step away. Yamaha won’t boot him yet.

MM is the man of the Ring for sure. Amazing

Great run by Crutchslow.
Mav consistant.

Daduki blues. They could have easily had two top fives.

Props to the Duc Bros for riding their butts off.

While I don’t really love this track when it comes to the racing it is for sure unique as hell and looks like it would be a blast to ride.

Quato..... finally acted like a rookie for a moment anyway.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!

If he keeps battling with satellite bikes and KTM/Aprilia for the last spots in the Top 10, they are gonna leave anyway. No one wants to watch his legacy tarnish race by race by staying around too long.

 

[budman]

I am not sure..... a few challenges for a podium a year and mostly top tens could keep the OG around for a while.

A single podium result would be huge. He is still capable in my view.

MotoE race was fun. Surprised how well those heavy bikes worked on this track. Excited to see more. Moto3 was excellent with thrills down to the wire. Moto2 and Motogp had their moments before the inevitable. Glad FQ20 or any of the other crashers during the race weren't hurt. Brave rides from Crutchlow and Nakagami.

Used to dislike this track because of the high number of crashes all weekend but this round didn't seem like there more than a normal weekend.

"Summer break" will include testing in Finland so not much of a vacation. Hope Petrucci gets his road license. :laughing

MotoE: a blast. I love the sound. Seeing the riders do everything but ride side saddle to make the tire destroying behemoths turn was worth the whole ticket. Better racing than Pee Wee motocross. That guy from Finland is a gimlet eyed killer.
Moto3: astonishing. Wish my man McPhee had been able to hold on. Unabated savagery.
Moto2: when Iker Lecuona gets the new KTM frame, he could be able to take it to A. Marquez. You can't try harder than he did. Binder was crazy-cakes.
MotoGP: hope everybody has time to heal over the break. Crutchlow, Nakagami, and the rest of the riding wounded were superhuman just to race. Keep it up, Maverick(and Yamaha).

replay of moto E bike sliding into the air fence. 550lbs worth killed it

 

[Map8]

A 240 lb motocross bike can damage a section of airfence. Thats the airfence doing its job and absorbing the impact rather than having the bike bounce back out on the rider.

 

[R3DS!X]

MotoE race was Very entertaining even if it was cut short due to airfence deflation. It was a lot more fun to watch than compared to GP. Really cool watching the tires smoke up leaving line around almost every turn.

Keep in mind THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THERE IS AN E MOTO CLASS. How does everyone expect it to be faster than GP? It's one small company making them and they have only been around for a couple years compared to hundreds of millions in R&D between huge manufactures making prototype bike for decades with the best riders available on them. I WONDER WHY THEY ARE FASTER!?!!?! About 6 seconds off GP, 3 off moto2, ~1 off moto3 And these riders haven't really gotten the chance to practice on them much at all. They are doing just fine IMO for their debut. Also Can you go out and buy any of the GP, moto2 or moto3 bikes? You can go out and buy an Ego Corsa which is near to the same thing thats on the grid.

 

[JakesKTM]

Isn’t Rossi under contract through 2020 season?

Thrilled to see Bradley put paid to the Philistines.
