When y'all see Bulega on the GP27 next year, remember that Toprak beat him twice with the BMW.

Also look at the way the R1 ended Jonathan Rea's career after he foolishly thought If Toprak could win on it...

The M1 is a pile of dog shit. Alex Rins won a race on the murderous Honda. He can't find pit out on that junk. Quartararo is alien material. There is no reason Toprak should match him on year one.

Oh, And Toprak gave up on this year. Any sane person would have too.

My thoughts too. Toprak beat Bulega twice on inferior equipment. Bulega is crushing Lecuona on the same bike and Lecuona can wildcard on the Duc in GP and do well. I think it really is down to the Yamaha being atrocious. Hope its better next year...
 
Super bummed for Ai. Made it to Q2, but couldn't convert it to anything.

This is gonna be a damn good race with that powerhouse front row:rock:. Honestly, you really couldn't ask for 3 more aggressive starters.

This place is always buzzing during the other GP's. I guess I'm the only one who's rather stay up late than get up early to watch it:p
 
JM89 rear tire looked the same. You can see the bike shaking and rumbling on the cooldown lap

Dogshit penalties. Demotions for doing nothing to gain an advantage on a failing tire. Fuckin Busch league.

Rules are rules, but no advantage was gained there, so...
Sucks for Enea because it took him off the podium and I feel his was just a case of following Martin and he went slightly wide onto the paint.
Marc was on cruise control and still laid waste to the field. His bike never even wiggled once the whole race. He looked to have plenty more in reserve if needed.
 
Wow. Bez just fucked himself. I guess he realized the soft rear would come apart and he thought he could limp a slower tire back by them to win. Wrong gamble. With Pedro being taken out, I believe the championship is now down to two.

I think Bez is still more in touch with the title than Pedro is just based on performance potential of his bike, but I agree it's basically down to two now. It would take a string of mistakes by both Martin and Marc for Bez to catch up and neither of them are riding like that.
It will be interesting to see how they all perform on the medium rear tire and if Marc gambles with the soft and can make it last. With Alex and Digi going out early, Ducati doesn't have a lot of data outside of Marc's rear tire.

I pray he doesn’t pick the soft after what we saw it did to others.

JM taking out MM in a race that Bez wins puts him right back within a race… no ill intent but attrition happens and it’s not like all three of them haven’t taken the other out in the past…

We don't know the Duc destroys the rear. If it does not, Ducati riders have a huge advantage if they can somehow keep Alex from taking them out.

Did you see Peccos tire? Absolutely chunked down the middle. I can't see any championship contender (Marc, Bez, Martin) picking the soft tomorrow. Maybe someone with not much to lose like Pedro, Alex, or Digia could roll the dice on it.

Edit: Apparently Michelin has withdrawn the soft tire for the GP.

I guess you didn’t see the 1” deep line running down the center of Peccos rear. It was scary.
