Yesssss it’s back. Ladies and gentlemen it’s been a long winter it’s been a cold winter but this time next week round one of the 2021 MotoGP championship will be over. Fingers crossed for another unpredictable season !
Fantastic,The question is can Joan and Suzuki retain their title this season or will Yamaha and Honda finally get their act together along with their jockeys.
Miller states the bike turns now, so that will be interesting... Also with Marquez now testing an RCV road bike, how so do you think it'll be before he's on the grid... It wouldn't shock me if he's racing this weekend, although that would be against my better judgement.
Can't wait for the season to start and hope it carries on from where it left off with the rookies doing so well,young Alex Marquez in the last few rounds was awesome likewise unlucky Ducati boy Bagnia nearly getting his maiden win ...no doubt now in the Works team with Miller he can only get faster,Morbidelli another one who IMHO will by mid season be beating his team mate/mentor every weekend if not sooner, As for young Marc Marquez well my oldest son works for HRC and is one of#19 Alvaro Bautista's mechanic's was telling me that his injuries was a lot worse than reported and I reckon him coming back like the old days where every corner he defied gravity may be a slow process,them sort of injuries can not only ruin a career but have an impact later in life aswell,look at Doohan I think even I could beat him in a 100yard dash !!! Who knows I may be wrong but can't wait for round 1 ........."Bring The Thunder"
Marquez will definitely miss start of the season, he just posted this on his Instagram profile a few minutes ago......
Is the correct decision. At last, some common sense exercised which, despite it paining me to say, will see his eventual return to the track is likely to be competitive. Andy
It is thr right decision. However i do wonder if it will ever be strong enough to survive a MotoGp crash.
Looking forward to seeing basher binder and wee mcflea in the same moto 3 team and also jake Dixon giving lowesey an arse whooping much more than I am moto gp tbh. Feels weird with no British interest.
BT TV coverage on 2HD starts at 10:45 on Friday. A word of caution about recording the programme, it’s 7 hours 15 minutes long ! Andy
I'm soo happy about the return of racing! If Aleix qualifies well and can get to the front early consistently, he is going to be a problem for a few champion contenders this year. Seems like it's going to be another cracking year!
Not a bad opening day was it. Minor detail but I do hate those petronas colours and lenovo can leg it an' all. Forgot how much hodgy makes me laugh too. Lovely stuff, can't wait for tomorrow now.
