MotoGP 2018

[svensktoppen]

Was good until Rossi lost it, how annoying was that! Ah well.

 

[svensktoppen]

By the way, I must have missed something, but what's going on with Lorenzo? Can't remember the last time I saw him in a race?

 

[big-lew18]

He had a fractured wrist and/or ankle and his big highside in Thailand broke it. I think his wrist was the main injury but also heard there was an ankle injury

Why what happened Steve?

 

[Chris666]

Rain

 

[Scuba Steve]

@dave b loada rain and a good few oh **** moments for riders and high sides lol

 

[dave b]

Wet race by the looks of it
Come on Rossi!
Amazing qualifying result for Marquez having dislocated his shoulder - warrior

 

[DriftnSlide]

Some biggies there.
Restart will be interesting if the weather stays like that..

 

[big-lew18]

Good result for the Suzuki and KTM, Rossi couldn't hold it as usual

To be fair, there were plenty went down on that corner. 40 over the weekend apparently.

 

[big-lew18]

True. Oncu is going to be one to watch next year in the Moto3's rode like a seasoned professional in his debut race. First person to win their debut since '92 and youngest winner taking Scott Redding's record from '08

I wonder how Scott will get on in BSB next year ? He'll definitely be a target.

 

[big-lew18]

I'd like to see him do well

He'll be talk of the season one way or another.. Not sure I'd put him down as a showdown contender just yet, like Gino Rea this season he's essentially coming home to tracks he's never or barely ridden.

Biggest surprise for me so far is, Keith Farmer yet to get a ride.. Obvious links with TYCO still as MLav is off to MotoGP commentary + his track tuition with Eugene

2018 testing has just started.

Weird seeing Lorenzo in HRC colours.

(2019)

 

[big-lew18]

I don't know what Honda will hold for Lorenzo. Don't see it being instant results

 

[Chris666]

Test livery looks class, particularly liking the stealth SHARK

 

[gcon45]

(2019)

Doh!

 

[Scuba Steve]

@dave b change the title to MotoGP

Romano Fenati has been allowed back in the paddock for 2019, riding in Moto3 for the same Marinelli Snipers team. How the fk was that allowed and why has the same team taken him back. Not the right decision imo. He should have been banned for life, considering his other previous exploits.

probably like most sports these days. he has a large cheque book and backing

 

[big-lew18]

He got into bother last week, police chase in Italy, think he was in a Ferrari IIRC
