Commentators mentioned Veijer possibly moving to Ajo in Moto2 next year.
Fantastic news if true; he’s doing all he can on a bike that’s too small for him in Moto3. Exceptional race craft that should do him well in the intermediate class.

He's been doing quite well with that sort of disadvantage. I think he will get on well with the Moto 2 bikes if he makes the step up which I am hoping for now. He might actually have a viable path to the premier class. At least I hope so.

The Yamaha livery is fantastic on its own, but the team uniforms and rider leathers have taken it to the next level.

Ditto the Castrol side of LCR.

Can we petition to make these permanent?

Imagine if he didn't? I mean that's not going to happen but I imagine another universe where he knows how to launch a bike.

If that happens I'll assume its Biaggi

Looks like KTM are testing Viñales’ launch control system for 2025 on Binder’s bike today.

Didn’t think we would see some fluorescent yellow 46 on Marquez domestic violence on track ever again but here we are…

Missed moto3 as I had to wait for the minister for finance to go to bed.

I have no idea how Bagnaia manages to reset himself overnight every single time he has a setback. Truly a champion’s mental fortitude.

I feel like we rarely see an actual battle between Pecco and Martin. They trade mistakes when it looks like it will be a good battle. Will this be the day?

I can't help but think it is a shame things went the way they did with the seats that were available with Ducati.

In this unpredictable sport, there are only two constants- The weather at Silverstone and the RC213V launching Joan Mir to the moon at every single race.

Honda must be paying well to risk life and limb on that bike for another two years.
