[NSR500]

Yamaha keeping to their Japanese roots by going full Bosozoku.

That pipe looks a lot like mine.

 

[Busy Little Shop]

Yama ha ha's a-MAIZE-ing new exhaust in EARS...

 

[budman]

:laughing

Nice.

Just finished the race again.

Forgetting the drama and great shit from previous rounds this was a really good race.

The first time I watched it I thought it was good and seeing Rossi battle for the podium and the battle for second and third the last couple laps was solid.

I watched the F1 car race in between.

That made this sooooooooooooooo much more exciting :laughing

Heck we are almost to the next one. :banana

Remy Gardner signs to race Moto2 for Aki Ajo's Red Bull KTM team in 2021.

Darren Binder signed with the Petronas Moto3 team for 2021.

Good for Gardner, but he'll crash. He's the new Sam Lowes.... who quietly had an awesome race last weekend from pit lane. Sam might be on the podium this weekend if he can keep from riding like he's in a bumper car.

Binder's gonna be the largest moto3 racer ever. He's listed at 140 lbs. so he's probably at least 150... He reminds me of a dude on a pocketbike.

Valentino gets asked if he'll use the same helmet design for Misano 2. His answer is Lulz!

:rofl

That's why he's The GOAT and has so many fans. The guy is just a regular chill dude unlike the Repsol/Puig Manufactured guy.

Also, if you watch the full presser Niki Kovacs gets a little flirty with Il Dottore about the helmet, blue pills, and Italy races. Gotta love his expression! :rofl

 

[Map8]

Jorge Martin had another positive test for COVID-19 so he will sit out again. Wildman Mattia Pasini will take his place for this weekend.

 

[Raider]

Something I just realized... Rossi is the only person on the grid with a title...

If he doesn't win it this year, it's going to be a first time title winner since MM joined MotoGP...

 

[NSR500]

HRC strikes again. Another rider out due to medical and not being able to ride the bike.

I'm not saying that they built a bike only Marc can ride... but.... they built a bike only Marc can ride :wtf

FTFY

 

[kelsodeez]

Honestly, I think honda's woes are puig's fault somehow. Everything he touches turns to shit.

 

[Map8]

Its yet to be proven that Honda built a bike Marc can ride in race conditions.

The KTMs improved a bunch over last week. Hope it carries over to race pace.

Four different manufacturers in the Top 5 in FP1/2, all separated by only 0.1 seconds. We are truly in the parity era.

I'm hoping Quartararo re-gains his form this weekend for a podium, and predicting for Mir to win his first race.

Repsol Honda Team
@HRC_MotoGP
Due to ongoing issues with his right arm hindering his ability to ride in a safe and consistent manner, HRC and @stefanbradl have together decided to sit out the remainder of the #EmiliaRomagnaGP.

We wish Stefan a speedy recovery.

We built a bike so demanding that it breaks our riders. :teeth


Seriously, though...

Pecco and Rins can each ride their respective Ducati and Suzuki bikes at the limit while recovering from injury. On the other side of the paddock at HRC, the bike can't be ridden effectively by anyone other than WinOrBin and it can't be ridden by anyone suffering from an injury. It's just that much of a beast to control.
Meanwhile, just about anyone can ride a KTM, Suzuki, or Yamaha fast; while most people can ride a Ducati fast. An Aprilia just ain't fast, and then Honda only 1 can ride it fast. :ride
