2021 Gran Premio Octo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini

Keshav · Sep 15, 2021

Marquez seems to win Misano, every other year.
I can't remember when there was a rider who consistently dominated here.

It's hard to say that any one maker is especially favored by the layout.
Morbidelli did it last year, so Fabio should be a good choice. Marc does
like this track, so mayhaps we get to see the two of them duel. Fingers crossed.

Pecco repeat

If he can keep getting that bike to turn how he did last race yeah i see it.

I am going to pick Bagnaia to win, though I expect a hefty challenge from Marquez.

MdubSTYLIE · Sep 16, 2021

Depends on if Michelin gives pecco a stale rubber again or not.

Bern1 · Sep 16, 2021

Tempting to pick an Italian to win, rider or bike. But I’m sure Fabio will do his best to interfere with those plans.

I really wonder just how much Dorna and Michelin control who gets what rubber and the quality...

I'd like to be the fly on the wall when distribution is going on. If they have some trick system to control who gets which, it would have to be really discreet, for no one to have caught on after all this time.

I don’t know what kind of publicity Michelin wants and what it expects to achieve in MotoGP.

After this season I’ll buy Bridgestones.

JPSLotus · Sep 17, 2021

I actually will not buy pirelli or Michelin tires because of the pisspoor quality of tires they supply to the two top race series on this planet.

Keshav · Sep 18, 2021

.... load of crashes in first quali session. Maybe the worst batch of Michelins this year?

Rossi fans looking especially dejected.

warthog1 · Sep 18, 2021

Marc aint staying on board too well and not that fast.
Pecco looking very good.

Little Walter · Sep 18, 2021

Cannot recall the last time Fabio crashed in Quali. Who would have believed 15 years ago that Ducati would be this competitive on a regular basis?

The track has a shitload of bumps in hard turns. Tomorrow is going to be a survival race if it doesn't rain.

Fantastic lap by Bagnaia, let's see if he makes the last part of the championship somewhat close.

Advantage - Ducati.

If Fabio stays on the bike, I'm quite sure he will finish well, if not win the race outright. Never can be really sure though. Such has MotoGP been.

I was told there's rain in the forecast for the race, any truth?

80% chance of rain tomorrow and a 100% chance of Marc over riding the honda pos211v

Marc still aint anywhere near the old Marc
Pol has out qualified him and Taka's time is very close.

Yeah the Honda has problems.
I hope he pulls his head in a bit.
I would like to see more of the old MM again if the shoulder improves.
Throwing it down the road won't do that.

Pecco vs Fab could be good.

Dovi isn't making that old Yam look good like Franco did.
Then Franco isn't up to speed yet either.
Interested to see how those 2 go over the next few races also.

Marc usually has better race pace than his one lap quali attempts. He chose to follow the wrong guy, the Honda had no chance of staying out of the kitty litter at Peccos pace.

Give Dovi time and I think he will do decent. I don't expect much from him this year. Franco is not 100% yet as what the word is. He is just getting back in the groove. I'd don't expect much from him for a while either. Was he on 2019 bike or factory spec? I just hope Dovi can beat his "teammate" consistently.
