MotoGrandPrix- Valencia 2020

So what kind of a minor bummer for me is when KTM's riders podium, or win, BOOM right on their webpage celebrating their talent and teams.
Suzuki wins the ship and crickets on their website. Do ya even care Suzuki?

Well, on the flipside, suxuki's Instagram account spoiled the race for me yesterday with a "suggested post" congratulating Mir

The last GP race at Estoril was 2012. I was a little surprised at all the premier class riders who also raced on that day:

Rossi (Ducati)
Dovi (Yamaha)
Crutchlow (Yamaha)
Bradl (Honda)
AEspargaro (CRT)
Petrucci (CRT)



The track layout looks like it may lend itself to a Yamaha or Suzuki, given the bendy sections 2 and 3.

A bit, but MM's absence is the interesting factor. It's hard to take anything else from this year but entertainment and fun.

I think it tells us a lot more about the bikes without the otherworldly talent if MM to hide the Honda’s deficiencies.

Pretty Sure Oliveira has been there before.

For some reason I have a good feeling about Miller or Oliveira doing well

rooting for Mr Arenas and KTM next weekend ... :ride

good luck to Honda riders Mr Arbolino and Mr Ogura as well, and wishing the three of them a safe, last Moto3 race for the 2020 Moto3 championship ...
should be a crazy, crazy motorcycle race. arty

Why are we talking about Estoril?

Bradley Smith would have been racing Moto2 at Estoril during the last GP visit.

I'm unclear why Estoril is being discussed when this weekend's race is at Portimao (Autódromo Algarve).

Probably because I'm a moron and I just automatically equate Portugal to Estoril. I quit :rolleyes

edit: I was even watching Stoner go wire to wire. Dude was a machine.

Maybe Dorna will keep the momentum going and add another round in Portugal? :laughing

 

[scootergmc]

In the last couple hours I got all hyped up waiting to see the Suzuki slide through those back sections on rails.

Back to your regularly scheduled season, sans my tomfoolery.

One can only hope.

 

[mjrydsfast]

I want...

I want to see three first timers on the podium to end this weird season: Jack, Taka and Pol, in no particular order. I take that back: Taka on top by .001 over Pol.

 

[Tally Whacker]

I'd love to see Nakagami get his first win. He's been showing great pace all season. He just needs to keep it together on race day.

For those who thought Nicki's ZOOG 'ship was a fluke with him winning only 3 races that year... ZOZO trumps that with Mir only winning 1! But I guess that's what happens when the best rider is out the whole year, all the favorites throw up all over themselves, and no one really looks like they want to win it.

(Seriously, I can't believe the way Quarteraro fell apart. I thought he was for sure going to take it this year after Marc got hurt. Jeez)
