MotoGrandPrix- Valencia 2020

[SFLowrHgt]

JR16 :facepalm Armchair QB says he should have done a Mir and hung tight for a bit to get the feel of the cold track in the dry, then made his break.

Mir was outstanding! Super stoked for Suzuki ort

Rins said he made a gear shift mistake and that is why he ran wide.

Pol rode well and so did Binder.. storming through fastest lap of the race.
3 KTM's in the top 7 is outstanding. :applause

Mir just needs to stay the consistant dude he has been and he will be the coolist cat of 2020.

Yamaha.. oh my :facepalm


Bummed for Joe. With the soft front he was pushing to bolt. Did not work out.

Moto2 is more of a dog fight now. Marini finally waking from his big crash??

Congrats SUZUKI!! :thumbup

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but boy Rins really left the door wide open there for Mir to overtake into 1st didn't he?

Rins said he made a gear shift mistake and that is why he ran wide.

At the end of coverage, during the commentators recap, they showed video from both bikes in the same corner during that pass. Mir's vid shows him in 3rd, then back into 2nd through the turn, Rins shows him hitting 4th, then back shifting all the way down to 1st.

Mir's video is from just a touch later in the approach, and don't know what gear he was in just prior, but if Rins was carrying a little more speed and counted his downshifts wrong...

Those Davide Brivio screen caps are great.

Crazy day in all three classes. Hope Yamaha has recovers next week. KTM always makes a big improvement on the second of these doubleheaders so orange bikes could be upfront next Sunday. Or will we see a Suzuki 1-2 repeat?

Bummed or Joe Roberts. And WTF did Rossi do to Gerloff's bike?

:laughing @ Gerloff's bike

I thought it was pretty cool to put a heart rate monitor on Davide.
Did not get as high as I thought it would.

And plaid love the screen shots... and solid pick on the winner. :thumbup

Suzuki takes control of the constructor championship too!

I loved the idea of putting the HR monitor on Brivio!

Next Sunday

Pole Esparagus for the win, Rins and Taka-san for the podium. Mir just high enough to wrap it.

wonderful photo from motogp.com capturing Mir & Pol's unalloyed joy

I've never been so happy to be wrong. I had picked that Mir would choke and FQ20 would do well. Totally opposite.

Glad to see Suzuki leading the triple crown!

Just maintain my perfect record of bad predictions, I'd like to remind everyone that I complained several times about Suzuki hiring Mir and I insisted that they should have kept Iannone. :laughing

Well, as everybody knows, consistency is the key to winning championships!

The battle for that Championship includes quite a few of us.

 

[budman]

Stupid, but still made me smile.

So, I got the meet Mir in his rookie year and I got to tell him that he shows a lot of promise and that someday he will do great! I'm sure he remembers me and that I was his inspiration.:laughing I also got to ask rins if the team mechanics were happy now that Iannone isn't around to crash all the bikes. He laughed.

Cool shit!
