MotoGP 2023 + Fantasy Team

Marc is back! MotoGP needs him and hopefully he'll start really ruffling some feathers at Ducati now.

Unlucky Pedro, put it all on the line and so unlucky in the last corner.

WOW!

Didn't look like Dani knew what position he was in. Might have got the podium if he did.

He did in the end as Fabio demoted for tyre pressure being too low.

WTF was going on at turn 5? The simultaneous crash of Alex Marquez, Brad Binder & Enea Bastianini was very odd.

I was hoping for a Marc Marquez win but had a feeling he'd end up crashing.

Jack Miller surely can't hold onto that seat next season.

The track has a problem with water weeping up through the tarmac in some areas after its rained and they all rode over it. Pedro must have been on a slightly different line to avoid it. They knew it was there was it was a mistake.

Red flagged warmup.

Acosta was lucky, could have been nasty if he collided with the bike.

Might be another crash fest.

Main race isn't until 1pm and no rain forecast. Its cool for Jerez at only 18c but I think it should be fine.

Another good race.

Ive often accused pecco of bottling it under pressure but he was perfect today and gave as good as he got back to Marc

Seasons heating up

Colonel_Klinck · 28 Apr 2024 at 16:16

I thought it was going to become a procession but it really livened up. Marc and Pecco are going to go at it all season long and Marc is only going to get better on that bike. Bring on Le Mans!

Good to see Marquez and Bagnia battling, although I got em both in my sweepstake and didn't want to see them both go down

Katoom · 29 Apr 2024 at 06:36

After yesterday race, I thought Peccos championship was over. :cry:

.
Great start, crazy pass around the outside of two going down the hill. :eek:

As said, nice to see someone really battling with Mark.

Yeah, MM getting comfortable/quicker, loving racing again. Next year with a works bike should be good!

Great weekend, sprint race was carnage. Shame Martin dropped it in the feature, would have been good seeing those 3 go at it!

BogEyes · 5 May 2024 at 16:54

What a weekend of racing that was! So many talking points between the sprint and the feature race.

Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

I wonder what Acosta could do on a Ducati...

I want to see him win a championship on a KTM.

If KTM aren't taking all his comments on board for that bike development they are mad. Binder is a fantastic rider but Pedro is a generational talent like Marc was. They should be signing him up to a long contract and aiming for him to properly challenge for the title next year.

Not MotoGP but damn that is some massive airborne off at the NW200

That the one where he landed on the car?
So lucky on that one!

Yeah that bonnet having crumple a zone likely saved him from serious injury. Good job it wasn't a Cybertruck or he might have broken his back and been cut by the panels as he was taken off it :cry:

"andy" · 11 May 2024 at 16:22

Marc was a bit good this afternoon...

but Martin is going to take some catching! The fight for the factory Ducati seat isn't one I'd want to judge . Can't afford to let either of those two have a go at beating them on another manufacturer

Colonel_Klinck · 12 May 2024 at 11:02

Yeah that was Marc at his best. Brave and clever at the start then just pick them off to get in a podium position.

Lets hope it stays dry for the main race today

the-evaluator · 12 May 2024 at 11:28

What a superb lap from Marquez in the spint!

Looking forward to the race today. Hopefully Pecco's bike is playing ball today.
