Moto3 2018 Season Thread

[Barbedwirebikerr]

Another manic season with the youngsters loaded with talent, desire and bravado.



Aron Canet for me.

Yee haa!

I'm on the Martin bandwagon. Looking forward to a great season anyway.

Going to be a good finish to this race.

Desperately disappointed for our John who rode a cracking race,but he showed a lot of promise with his new team so here's to the next race

Completely, rode an incredible race given the brake issues throughout.

I watched this at my brother in laws, great race but who is the ozzie .... in the pit lane, what an annoying idiot.

He's not an Aussie he's a Kiwi - and I assure you Simon Crafar is far from an "idiot".

Still remember watching him win that 500 gp race on a non-works Yamaha.

I'm sorry but he is an idiot the way he speaks, maybe he can ride a bike but the way he talks is so ....., did he need his nappy changing?

Moto3 never disappoints.

Norrodin did well to finish 11th.

 

[Holypuck]

Can you all imagine what it means to be Italian and watch Moto3?

Every year our moto medias are like: ok we got like 35 italians in the first 37 spots, we are gonna bring the title this year, this is the year.

And then...



I really rooted for Binder tho. Dude was a beast in Moto3.

He will be in Moto2 as well.
However I have my hopes pinned on John as a fellow brit, I'd hate to see him vanish from racing.

I really hope so, also as I think it's healthy for the sport if more countries have top riders in all classes. Grand Prix must not become an affair between Italy and Spain.

Us too , John is a lovely young man with a really nice family, i would be GUTTED if he dropped off the MOTO3 scene....

He needs a decent season though, I'd suggest top 5. Then he needs to get into Moto2 as I feel after 6 seasons in the lowest class he might well not survive. I'd add that it would be good if quite a few races were in the wet as he is one of the best imo.

What a debut from this young man. Youngest ever winner, and I can't remember anyone winning their debut race.

Possibly one to watch next year, and he has a brother who's preparing to line up in 2020.

First since Nobby Ueda in 1991 according to BTsport. Great to watch today.
His brother on pit wall was just as entertaining. Can't believe they are twins though. Deniz is about half his size.

 

[libby]

Well pleased for John, great way to finish the season, CIP have been very good to him.

 

[RCV600RR]

Also, he did it at the end of the season, where everyone has nothing to lose and everyone is fully dialed-in to their bikes. Stunning stuff.
