Ogura's eyes firmly on the prize.

In hindsight, it should have been Garcia taking the risk.

Canet doesn't look happy.

Dixon even less happy.

On the plus side, he looked a lot more comfortable on the bike this time around, so his head might be coming back to the right space.

I don't remember a single rider falling off. Did anybody?

The difficulty in starting on slicks is falling off. But, I'm not sure anybody did.

Most definitely a race worth getting up early for.

Probably with Corsi/ Baldassari.
There was a brief period during their MV era that they were sort of competitive.

Looked it up and actually it was Catalunya this year with Jorge Navarro on a wild card.

Roberts ended up a lap down, probably would've needed a full race distance to make the pit stop work.

An emotional Salac Czechs the “Moto2 podium finish” box in his CV.

Thank you, I’ll be here all night.

How can the MotoGP race top that?

If it's fully wet...

Bring this back.

There are some heavy showers around, but few and far between. Running the rainfall radar map backwards and forwards further suggests no rain.

This was even better. I was yelling at the screen like crazy.

Maverick is the shittiest starter I have ever seen in my life. It shouldn't be possible to be this bad at launching.

This week on “Desperate Ride Shyte Devices (TM)”…

MotoGP prediction:
Pedro will keep it upright but I doubt he can keep up the speed over the full distance.
Frantisek takes the lead on lap one and cruises to victory with Enea shadowing him.
Acosta is good for a podium. Damage limitation for Jörg and Marc if it stays dry.
Vinales starts from the front row but I won't even bother to discuss if he'll be a factor.

Watching Sachsenring 2014 while I wait.

You could play the Japanese anthem at someone's funeral and even the ones who didn't know the deceased would be sobbing.

Too painful. That race kinda ended Stefan's MotoGP career even though dropping back to wasn't his fault. (Wet weather setup)

It shows Aji as the sole DNF, don't know if it was a crash, definitely no crash graphics on the screen during the telecast.

Bagnaia with the holeshot again!

The Mir conspiracy theory gains more substance.

AnnoyingTwit · Oct 5, 2024

Not sure I noticed how Bastianini got so far back. Mir down on the first-ish lap as discussed previously.

synn · Oct 5, 2024

Holy crap A. Marquez literally turns his Ducati into a Torpedo behind Mir’s Honda!

I’d very much like to see a KTM 1-2 today but I doubt it.
