Gran Premio GoPro de Aragón Aug. 29 -Sept. 1 2024

The "he" that couldn't see was Alex. He was on the inside looking right. What Pecco did had no chance of working. I understand why he didn't leave room because of the dirty track but that just makes the move more stupid. Pecco doesn't think and makes contact with other riders a lot. This was just another example of Pecco doing what Pecco does. This was a carbon copy of what Pecco did to Mavrick last year.
IDK man , here are quotes from 3 riders who have no allegiance to either camp:



 
I have to ask, is this what Valentino is teaching Pecco?

Maybe he should be teaching him how to focus on the current season and when to overtake in situations like that. He could easily have waited till they hit the straight to get past. He could have avoided this one as easily as the Portimao crash earlier in the season.
I do agree in principle that the risk he took was not fitting of a champion’s ride.
 
Some of us do not ride, it seems. It happened so fast AM had no time to react, leave alone taking avoiding action. The only thing he could have done was to grab brakes, this would have resulted inevitably in losing front and the following crash would have looked a little different, that's all, both riders still out.

Miguel sounds like he is using this to plead his own case about an incident I have no idea what he was talking about. I see nothing but SImon says, that indicates Fabio says it is Alex fault.

As for Miller, he attacked the media for asking a valid question to Pecco about his DUI. He has his nose so far up Peccos ... he has to wear 3 different breathing devises in his nose to get the dingle berries out.

The fact of the matter is you cannot go around the outside of another rider and expect it to not end badly for you. The same way you can't cut the nose off another bike and expect them to not hit you. He does dumb .... all the time.

I don’t think that’s in any way a reasonable interpretation of the direct quotes so I’ll just bow myself out of this exchange.

There is no quote here from Fabio. Just Simon saying he said it was Alex fault. That is hearsay and inadmissible in the court of forums. What Miguel said was blah blah blah me me me. Jack is an ......

I literally cannot figure out how Viñales is the guy who dominates COTA and then ends up 50 secs behind the leader before retiring here.

I also can’t figure out how Bastianini rides a Moto3 bike during qualifying and then pilots the fcuking Starship Enterprise at warp speed during the race.

Herve, if you were looking for a quiet few years before retirement, boy do I have some bad news for you.
Vinales doing vinales things!

Simon Crafar was saying her likes lots of rear grip, and the Aprilia/Medium rear combo didn't have that today.
 
The "he could not see him" in Spanish was said by Marc talking about his brother. All of the commentators say it was Alex who could not see Pecco. How can you believe what Miller said and Miguel believe if Alex couldn't see him?
 
This is why I don't like the blame game, you could argue all day long and perhaps Pecco could think that he was in the right, but in the end it doesn't matter, it's 0 points either way. Sometimes you have to take the moral loss to win the long term game, which is the championship. Pecco is incredibly fast on his own, but also he needs to improve his awareness in close racing situations. Too many times he has thrown away valuable points only because he thinks he's in the right. Compare it to Marc for example, who lifted his bike in the Jerez clash with Pecco instead of foolishly get a 0. Being in the right doesn't matter if it doesn't help you win the championship.

Also Jerez sprint, he got collected aswell.

It aint 100% either riders fault. They share the blame. Time to move on.

The post race wrap up was ok. Wont see Marc dominate like that again this season, Crafar was saying. He is correct, but also that he has a better base set up.
 
No world champion leaves an overtake to the next lap.

Hopefully neither rider is injured.

Congratulations to Marquez, he had worked hard and long to be on the top step again.

As for the track, it's one thing to have a tight racing line, but to have a dirty track for the start is not world championship standard.
