Early season predictions are even more off than usual. Me, I’m fine with that. Even if your pet rider seems to have all the cards in his favor, predictable is never good. I don’t know which is harder to swallow: Ducati’s stunning lack of results (Peco’s in particular) or Honda having created a...

Certainly does the trick, I'm not sure car racers will now be happy with that barrier 90 degrees to the racing line.
Sorry for the huge pics but they are the only ones I could get to work here.
If I understand correctly, a re-start after a red flag is considered a new race. So, if you received a track limits warning before the red flag, is that erased and you can start over?
Wow!

He is the gift that keeps on giving at the moment - It sounds like Yamaha thinks that he was deliberately trying to damage the engine during the race (a trackside photographer reported that he was...

This is after the failure of Oliveira's front during the GP last weekend.
There were also complaints about the soft rear tyre (from Marc M mainly) - Michelin...
Oops… somehow “bull” was deleted.
Prediction. Fabio will have to stand in a glass booth and proclaim Ich bin der Reißverschlusskriminalität schuldig. :p
Apparently, they are looking to pull out even though they are contracted for the 2021 season as well.
Seems a bit odd given that Oliveira took that fantastic win and the history that Red Bull/KTM have...
Marquez and Rossi pretty consistently do well here. Maybe it's time for a Ducati win??? Not betting on it. Will Lorenzo start to gel w the Duc. Not betting on it. Rins is going to go for it in Spain - bet money on it, and hope he doesn't try to win the race in the first three laps. Dovi is smart...
Safe to say - Marquez will win.
Questions are:
How many seconds will 2nd place be behind him?
Will Ducati pick up the pace? Dovi was 5th last year behind Vinales, Iaanone and Rossi.
Will Lorenzo start to show some promise - or will we have to wait till mid-season for that?
Maybe people will...
2018 Gran Premio Red Bull de España
Amidst all of the fighting going on here, we have a grand prix coming up this weekend from Jerez, newly resurfaced as well. HRC tested here recently so I think they may have an advantage knowing what setups are needed and how the tires will wear.
Marquez...
Any on here been??
Hoping to get there next year and just wondering what the public transport to and from the circuit is like.
Looking at staying in Graz and either getting train to Knittelfeld or bus all the way there.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Especially if it's on...
Hard to believe we are already coming up on the 4th race of the year!
Last year's race was about who could manage their tires best in the heat of Jerez, and Rossi excelled in the conditions as was to be expected. What this race weekend brings for track conditions is unknown. This track since...
May as well get this .... started.
Vinales is the favorite to win this race obviously.
VR may do well here. Unsure about MM.
We'll hopefully find out something more about the factory Ducati.
Hope everyone from the forum who is travelling to TX for the race has a safe and...
Came across this and thought people may enjoy it - it is long at 38 minutes but is a good background to Toby Price, how and what he achieved as well as those that helped him along the way
IMO only, but I found it very interesting and to see his emotion surrounding the death of his sister but...
As it is known now, KTM is coming to Moto2 in 2017. They locked a 5 year deal. Ktm wil now be the only manufacturer in all 3 classes. The 2 seats will be taken by Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira.
No need to say, everyone is very happy.
