Bagnanaia loves this track. Martin . . . not sure. He DNFd last year so will, I imagine, be especially on it being so close in the standings.
Got a feeling this will be a good one.

Marc Marquez will surely perform below the level of the Honda once again.
But a lot higher than the other honda riders who's bikes he sabotaged right?

Please continue. Don't ever leave. I love laughing at you on a daily basis.
 
If you have a healthy Alex Rins on that Honda, Marc Marquez will be embarrassed once again.

Overpaid and overrated lucky 8 times champion.
 
Hmm, I wonder how Alex Rins became unhealthy?

If my mum had been a dude, she'd have been my dad.

Funny, winning one race in a season and finishing on the fringes of the top 10 for all the others....wouldn't that make Alex Rins a ONE TRICK PONY....?

I don't think that's a good idea Mdub. He's probably only get Rins a disabled pony, who can only do one trick.

People argue that Nicky Hayden and Joan Mir were 'lucky' world champions. Even winning a single title in this sport is not about luck. Winning 8? Being widely recognised as by far the best rider of his era, and possibly the best ever. There is .... all to do with luck in those accolades.

One example of bad luck is this:

If that bike had hit anywhere else, this decade in MotoGP would likely have been vastly different.

Pedrosa will be the favourite, it won't be his last chance, he is still young. All he needs is equal luck.

How did that work out? 10 years and you have gotten zero things right. Its actually impressive how wrong you are all the time.

All Dani needs is equal luck to Lorenzo, then he would be champion. Dani does not need to be extra lucky or whatever, or waiting for bad luck to strike Lorenzo. As long as he gets equal luck, Pedrosa will be champion with Lorenzo finishing second behind him in most of the races...

It is very UN-MAN-LIKE and very SOFTIE when a "bad luck" excuse is created for Marc Marquez having bad luck with injury.
FACT - Marc Marquez Jerez 2020 crash and injury has nothing to do with bad luck at all, he crashed all by himself due to his very poor talent and poor bike control skills, if he is a God Like Talent, he would have saved that slide and carry on, instead of having a rookie crash and funnily damaging his arm requiring multiple surgery, worse than a broken CHEAP TOY.

The "if the bike hit anywhere else, motogp would be very different this decade" is once again a very childish un-Man-like argument, very much like "If my Auntie has balls, she had be my uncle"

So the same can be said about your zero time champion Rins this year. Haven't you said that if not for his injury he would be a multi-race winner? A ZERO TRICK PONY. You are just getting dumber and dumber the more you type. Hopefully you only last a month here like you did last time. You have entertained me though, so feel free to keep talking out your .... It's ....... amusing.

Fixed it for you.

Thanks for that image. I'd never seen it before. I thought he got injured whilst barrel rolling though I'm sure that didn't help.
 
How does one get lucky enough to win 8 championships?
Forgive me for a completely going sideways here, but I always find it interesting that, in bike racing, they always count championships won in lower categories in the total wins. In car racing it's only the top categories that gets counted/talked about. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just something I noticed...

Grand Prix motorcycle racing is a world championship level sport with differing categories, we have always counted the lower categories because it is still elite level competition. In the past we have had 125 and 250cc specialists. Not so much nowadays, since Moto3 and Moto2 these are deemed as more feeder classes.
