Martin needs more credit, hè is a true asset to MotoGP. More exciting and skilled then Pecco, hè is proving that week in week out.


Sporacity

Epic race, nothing gives that adrenaline focus like a epic motogp and moto3 race, I'll give a shout out moto2 was not bad at all too.


Antique_Head_6724

Started watching last year(knew about Marquez being 8 time champion) and i always wanted to see the Marquez show but, he would always end up crashing on the Honda. Today was a spectacular day, him going from p13 to p2 made me happy. Also super happy for Martin, well deserved win for him.


Ls8s

I started following the sport in 2021 and same, great to see Marquez doing well


ViniciusBragaRZ1

Bastianini was pretty impressive today, 10th on the grid, got a long lap penalty and finished P4 just 2,2 seconds behind Martin. Without that penalty, he would've beaten Pecco for sure.


Badabumdabam

He got unlucky with his qualy as well, he could have done the pole or at least a first row. He had the pace to win bot the race or least fight for that.


FantasticNoise4

Bestia is overunderrated surely. I'd rather see him attack silently than leading for most of the race, then slowly fell off


Tavi2000

Any chance to point me to somewhere I can watch the race later today, please? I'm on call and f#ck!!! I missed it! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sleep)

Always surprised to watch DiGi and MV get passed by a clearly faster Marquez, but instead of thinking to maybe follow MM93 up to the riders in front of them, no, let’s fight a clearly losing battle with MM93 and lose any chance of being towards the front. The time they caused MM to lose cost them all. Just stupid.


Regular_Hearing_7632

You just described your own reply with the last two words… just stupid.


GCMedic05

Bias much? lol. I love that nearly no one just moves aside for him anymore. I respect the guy but it’s so much better seeing people not yield. Not saying he’ll shy away from a fight by any means, I just hated watching people go ahh shit it’s Marquez!


Meeganyourjacket

Welcome to racing


GringerSteve

Tough weekend for Binder, but great job on race day.


Acewolf90

I feel so bad for Augusto Fernandez this KTM has potential but set up seems to be fine margins. Maybe he must switch to the old steel chassis


beardedNoobz

Though luck for FQ20, for his race and for his boot, lol. At least he tried and can produce top 8 pace consistently on Yamaha. Whatever it is, progress is progress.


tobalsan

Not sure his crash was due to luck more than his riding to the limit.  In any case, it is a testament to his talent. Yet to prove he is alien level, but when looking at all the other Japanese bikes, the contrast is clear. 


ViniciusBragaRZ1

He's my favorite rider, but I don't think Fabio is in the same league as Rossi and Marquez. However, Quartararo is a hell of a rider and he needs decent equipment.


beardedNoobz

You need a high amount of good luck when you are riding to the limit. Sadly he is unlucky to either misjudging the limit or happened to pass over a bad/dirty patch. Yeah, I know it is FQ20 effect rather than Yamaha's. But the data is still valuable develop the bike and hopefully give their riders a real competitive bike in near future.

MuZzASA

Very different sports and always will be. Pointless to compare them


Dr_NitroMeth

How are 2 prototype race series different? One is a 2 wheel prototype racing the other a 4 wheel one. 💁🏽‍♂️


Silly-Tax8978

Football and MotoGP are very different sports. F1 and MotoGP are very much comparable and at this point in time, the latter is far more interesting. That’s not to say that can’t or won’t change but having one driver win nearly every race comfortably makes it dull in my view. It would be the same if Marquez was winning every race like he has done some seasons in the past.


yourfriendgaryl

That has been true for many years now.


Kyoraku_08

MM93 the Alien, the GOAT...


Strong_Economy_5912

DiGiannantonio: "i don't see MM93 as an alien anymore" Saturday/Sunday @ Le mans : 👽 🏍 💨💨💨


SomeBloke

I read somewhere this morning that Binder was choking under pressure at KTM?


Missingthefinals

He is pretty much given how Pedro has gone


SomeBloke

22nd to 8th while Acosta and Miller drop their bikes doesn’t look like a choke


Joooooooosh

I mean Acosta made a wild move and gamble didn’t pay off. He clearly would have finished as top KTM if he’d stayed on.  Gutted as i think he’d have been on for a podium!  Binder just doing Binder things. Shit qualifying, amazing recovery in the race but then no tyre/pressure issues preventing him being involved at the very front.  Jack can qualify but fades after 1/3 of a race.  Binder can’t qualify but has amazing race pace and killer instinct.  Add them both together into one person, you get Pedro! 


Missingthefinals

That's one race, Acosta has out raced him all year and he's a rookie........


SomeBloke

I didn’t say Acosta isn’t more talented than Brad. That’s pretty apparent. I was mocking the “Brad is choking because of Pedrp” comments. Binder’s mentality is nothing if not consistent. The dude always fights. I can defend him whilst also rooting for Acosta because they’re both brilliant to watch.


Substantial_War_844

>out raced him all year Its been 5 races and its 3-2 to Binder in GP's no.


second-last-mohican

Only as good as your last race


IamBejl

Man if only Marc wouldn't had a bad quali... Such a shame for Fabio :(

bluemorals

motogp fans are the real winners. what a sport man


bobby4385739048579

yeah, you can say that again im new to the sport (watch just the last few races) been totally hooked by the intense racing


MonkeyNumberTwelve

Welcome. If you can, watch moto 3. It's consistently some of the best racing in my opinion. Moto 2 used to be dull but that's got better the last couple of years as well. You miss out on loads of excitement if you don't watch the lower classes though.


CpnSparrow

It should be Martin and Pecco next year


K1NG0492

This sport is unrivaled.


Ornery-Sound6074

Very much fan of MotoGP, but I think Isle of Man and WRC are even more wild.


Silly-Tax8978

Huge respect for the road racers but IoM TT is not that exciting for the spectators due to the time trial format. There are more exciting road races eg the NW200 and Ulster GP (the latter may be history now though)


pineapplejamm

Coming from a huge f1 fan. Just started watching motogp this year and god damn. Racing is absolutely incredible and unpredictable. Have no idea what will happen next!


second-last-mohican

Agreed. But with Ferrari and McLaren hopefully closing the gap to RBR hopefully we get some good races this year.


Joooooooosh

Even with teams closer together, only way you get passes in F1 is tyre strategy and DRS zones. All very fake feeling.  I want to like F1 but I can’t watch the races. Just too dull.  They need to sack off tyre changes and team radio. Just let the cars go and have the drivers figure it out. 


Silly-Tax8978

I know f*ck all about F1 these days but couldn’t they make the cars a bit smaller? They look huge, much bigger than years ago, which must make passing harder! I may well be talking shite though.


second-last-mohican

The hybrid factor and battery storage makes the cars bigger unfortunately.. as well as the survival cell. 2026 they are getting slightly smaller with the new regulations.


second-last-mohican

Agreed. But with Ferrari and McLaren hopefully closing the gap to RBR hopefully we get some good races this year.


tclark8995

Mir down again makes me sad, but Zarco and Taka in points.


UmberGreen

Neil made a good point. Seeing Mir crash like this is a good thing. A, shows he isn't holding back, and B, means his data for Honda is real. He can point to the data and say this is me on the limit, this is our issues. Opposed to riding safe but not getting adequate data. If nothing else, it's decent copium


LoveMyRWB

I know this take is smoking hot, but that is total copium. Mir has done nothing but crash since joining Honda (and really since winning the WC). He’s the least deserving WC that I can think of in modern memory. The 2020 title was a total fluke for him won on the back of the strange Covid year. He’s inconsistent and doesn’t seem to be giving valuable feedback to develop the bike in a positive direction. I hate to be so harsh but man it’s frustrating to see him end up on his ass 4 laps in weekend after weekend. At least he doesn’t seem to be making too many excuses for it…


UmberGreen

You good? I literally repeated the TNT commentary teams view, nothing to do with me having a hot take. However, please do tell me who was more deserving in 2020, before you reveal your IQ remember if they finished behind Mir in the points they weren't more deserving, because you know, how Championship tables work and all that. I will wait...


LoveMyRWB

I didn’t mean your take was hot, but instead that I knew my own take was hot (and continues to be hot!) But I still feel the TNT commentators feelings are copium. Sadly no one deserved the title in 2020, lol. It should have been Marquez’s by a mile. He probably would have at a minimum podiumed every race if healthy. In lieu of him, it was Fabio’s but he dropped the ball at the end of the season. There’s no other way to spin it than Mir won the title by backing into it.


Silly-Tax8978

Mir won by being consistent, finishing almost every race somewhere between 2nd and 5th while no one else could manage that. Not the most impressive winner by any means but he still beat what he was up against over the course of a (short) season. He’ll never win another one but would be good to see what he can do on a good bike.


UmberGreen

Ahh I see fair enough, I was a bit confused haha. Yeah, essentially, though, you sum up my point. When all is said and done. Mir was the one rider standing tallest come the close of the season. I agree with you. I genuinely believe Marc would have won it should he not have been injured, but he crashed and got injured and thus didn't earn the Championship. Fabio should have been all over it once Marc was out of the picture, but he didn't take the opportunity. Being a Champion requires dealing best with the scenarios that come your way. It was a rough season for the riders, but they all had to do it and one rider did it better than the rest in that given scenario.


Interesting-Piece962

Gp23 beating gp24 for 2nd place. Wow wow wow, what a race.


overweightorangutan

the fucking stones on Marquez to trust his front tyre for an overtake like that at the end of the race


VJ1911

Great ride by JM89, FB63, FDG49. JM89 consistently proving he deserves that factory seat. MM93 did a good ride as well. Tough luck for FQ20. Did JM89 lost helmet visor again on cooldown lap?![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) Forgot to mention the crowd, what an attendance! Bravo 💪


flintey360

Not mentioning Enea is criminal here


Rajl_Khtek

MM93 did a good ride as well is an understatement


crimilde

Right? I bet they said that through gritted teeth lmao


leggenda_69

Hard to think Marc wouldn’t have won that without his quali mistakes.


second-last-mohican

Yeah if he had have even been in the top 5 starting grid, there's no he he wouldn't send it into turn 1 into p1


Candid_Problem_1244

Nah he has not only a pace alone but he also has attacking ability that is just above everyone.


Missingthefinals

Jorge/Marc factory Ducati next year please


PregnantSuperman

Pecco already signed a two year extension before this season.


PregnantSuperman

Pecco already signed a two year extension before this season.


Famous_Researcher_18

It would be the perfect team


Missingthefinals

It would be a super spicy team, they would fight tooth and nail and make it interesting I hated seeing Miller protect Pecco two years ago and even Beast knew he had team orders Marc and Jorge wouldn't give a fuck


Famous_Researcher_18

Last year it was sad to see in a couple races Bastianini with a lot of pace, and he was constantly held by Bagnaia because of team orders.


Missingthefinals

Absolute bullshit, I hate seeing it Pecco has been protected in both his championships


Famous_Researcher_18

The worst part is that it isn't only protected by his teammates, but by the whole VR46 academy, last year Bez had a couple races where he didn't pass him even when he was clearly faster.


SolidLikeIraq

We’ve had so many amazing races already, and the season is less than 1/4th through. Marc coming from 13 to podium - twice!! Pecco running essentially a perfect race, Martin showing he is for real… This is going to be such an amazing season


Dry-Egg-1915

The 3 best drivers on the grid battling it out for three podium places. Gonna be a season to remember


second-last-mohican

Now we just need KTM and Yamaha to push some bikes updates and it cpuld ve even more exciting with Pedro, Enea, Bez and Acosta in the mix


therisingthunderstor

Greatest sport in the world


mxgorilla

RACING IS BETTER WITH MARC IN THE FIGHT! P13 to P2 WHAT AN ANIMAL!


JimClarkKentHovind

I was 100% sure he and Pecco were going down on that last lap move Marc is an absolute monster


emil_

That was amazing to watch and i don't even like him 😆. But he is a fucking alien.


screenres

What a finish - the last three laps were intense


themindisaweapon

Lmao he smashed the visor


Careful-Door2724

maybe the factory team should be Jorge and Marc next year /s


ogandou

Yeah I mean, really... that'd be epic!


clout__9

Well, the Italians won't abandon their own so soon...they waited 3 years for Dovi before letting him go despite him having 3 consecutive runner-up titles. Besides, they aren't as desperate as they were since they achieved the all-Italian title dream and they have been consistently bagging the constructors champion title.


ogandou

Yeah I can't imagine Ducati dropping Pecco to go for an all-Spanish pairing, it'd be probably close to blasphemy lol. Not to mention that Pecco is a great rider with 2 WCs to his name. That being said I still find it hard to think that Ducati wouldn't give a factory seat to Martin seeing how well he is performing. To me it'd make more sense to give him the factory seat and keep him at Ducati, and keep Marc at Gresini but make sure he and his brother have the GP25. I am not sure Marc cares about the factory seat bit as long as he gets the same bike he'd get if he had the factory seat...


Sheepherder_Same

They are probably scared to offer that option to MM. What if MM take it as an insult and goes to KTM? I think they would rather lose Martin than face MM again on a competitive bike partnered with Pedro Acosta.


Missingthefinals

Not even /s


RedLightning27

Man, this season is on fire so far!! 3 amazing races in a row!


bobby4385739048579

_gadgetFreak

bluzrok46

GG Jorge Martin. Well deserved win. Now I wonder where Marc Marquez will be heading to next year now that Martin looks to be the favorite to partner Bagnaia.


Badabumdabam

Would be criminal to get JM with a MM in this form.


tischbombe23

No way hes favourite after marcs two amazing rides


bluzrok46

Well, it's telling that Marc himself also admitted that Martin is more likely to get the nod. But I digress, we still have another race to go before the announcement so yeah.


second-last-mohican

Yeah JM has been with them a few years now, which what GG was probably alluding to in his statement. But at the very least MM needs to get a 25 bike next year. Then Gresini can win the championship.


second-last-mohican

bluzrok46

I actually meant the race lol, not that Martin just secured the ride. But well, he really did his chances good with that win. I was actually adamant that they were gonna promote Martin last year already until they announced Bestia for 2023, but oh well.


second-last-mohican

Jorge just needs to get himself a manager/pr to help him with how he says things to the public tbh. You need the skill, sure, but you need to be likable and not a loose cannon.

bluzrok46

What matters is, he's finished at Le Mans after 2 years of not finishing in the main race.


somkiat_chantra_fan

at least he finished this time lol


Candid_Problem_1244

Yes it's clear that Pecco just wanted to play it safe and hope Martin to make mistake because Pecco didn't have an advantage pace


second-last-mohican

Pecco needed to finish, rather than send it on a high risk move like Marc pulled.. had Marc crashed he'd be able to accept it, it was already an amazing feat. But if Pecco tried anything like that on Marc or Martin.. then he'd be well down the rankings. Martin could also risk crashing or making a mistake, he's got a good lead.
