A lot of his deeper stuff is paywalled but I think it’s worth it, I’ve been reading his coverage since I got into MotoGP back in like 2008. Mat Oxley at Motorsport.com is also good, the-race.com has some good news coverage if a little clickbaity, and all of these are active on Twitter which is great. Dave from Motomatters does a good podcast with a bunch of other journalists and Neil Morrison who commentates on the moto3 and 2 qualifying. They also do a lot of WSBK news. https://twitter.com/PaddockPassPod/ echomadman fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Oct 16, 2022 |

Haha holy poo poo Rins! Riding it like he stole it the whole way. Great fun in Moto3 as well, well done Guevara. Can't remember Moto2 but that's the fever talking.

italian quid posted:I honestly think the Nakagami thing happened purely because Ogura very wisely realised that the more time Honda has to sort out their poo poo show before he gets on the bike the better he will look so he isn't in a rush to grab that seat. Yeah this is how it feels to me too, Honda want a Japanese rider and Ogura isn’t ready/wanting to step up yet.

Sucks for Miller, I was hoping he'd stay in the champion points. Though with him going on mediums and knowing how he tends to chew his tires up he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up to the end anyway. Wonder how harsh they'll get on Álex.

I know they're trying to dissuade bad behaviour but that's a pretty bullshit penalty for what was clearly a racing incident. Alex got it wrong, went straight over to check on miller, them went to apologise after.

Ever since Freddie Spencer took over its just been a poo poo show. something is a racing incident one weekend, next week its two long lap penalties. It sounds like he refuses to talk to anybody about his decisions so maybe its an ego thing

Michael Masi was at the track this weekend. Just make him the race director/chief steward/whatever. What could go wrong?

The Yamaha is too slow and it's cost them the championship. But one of the ways it did that was by undermining Fabio psychologically - I can't imagine any other reason for him qualifying so badly when morbidelli got on the second row besides having already decided his bike is too slow; he's lost in his head.

most of the top runners did badly in q2...are they running race/dry spec setups maybe?

I'm guessing it's just the pressure, pushing hard to be on the front row. Unless it's actually wet the bikes are always setup for dry, as far as I know anyway. Once the race starts I think most teams change the second bike over to wet, just in case.

It's psychological pressure in difficult conditions, the guys with nothing to lose conversely did well

He was saying he had some grip issues near the end, so who knows the real story. Great result from Rins, even though it doesn't matter overall, he's still got the race in him.

Great to see Fabio get on the podium. Dude in the cool down room with his hand in a literal bag of ice cuz of the broken finger. Enea is really fun to watch. Moto 2 and 3 were no slouches either. Some pretty brutal crashes particularly the highsides. E: almost forgot. Lol @ Martin crashing out with a comfortable lead. SocksAndSandals fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Oct 24, 2022 |

Enea is much more likeable because he's his own man and seems to just get on with the job. Pecco is constantly talking about consulting Stoner and Rossi which to me very much says he lives in the shadow of giants and is gonna get rolled psychologically by Marc next year.

Marc and bastianini yeah. TBH I think Marc will crush all these young upstarts if HRC can pull their head out their rear end but I'm also wary of sounding like the rossi tragics did in the mid 10's. I can't see anyone but bestia and maybe fabio being able to withstand the psychological onslaught of the great one.
