Yes, hate to say it but I agree! Martin, some times it pays, some times it doesn't, the main thing is he didn't feel safe and acted, could just have easily carried on and taken somebody else out.

MM masterclass today, from 9th on the grind on a 2023 bike. Untouchable

Only just watched last week's race, that crash  how lucky were they both.
That bike on top of PB, surprised when they said it only weighs 23 stone, for some reason I was expecting it to be a lot heavier, even so!
I didn't really enjoy those races, in fact I turned the sprint off half way though.
PB starting grid woes, it can't carry on. Very dangerous spinning up, sliding into the path of upcoming bikes that are doing at least 40mph more than you. I'd be having words as a race director, if they don't sort it they should be made to start on the last row where they don't endanger others.
Finally, dirty tracks...wth  already saying the next track will be worse. Only 2 Q's, why hasn't it been sorted and if not why hasn't it been removed from the calendar?

MM, one word, incredible
Anybody who has not seen the AM and FB crash, have a look 
Thankfully both OK

Completely different level that lad. Best rider in the world right now for me. Can’t see him been in WSB much longer, enjoy it while you can, incredible rider that can do unbelievable things on a motorcycle

Great Superbike race, Toprak is going to take some beating, 11 consecutive race wins to equal the record

I've heard ref to them but not seen them yet.
Shame both Trackhouse went down in yesterdays main race, I never did see what happened.
Did anyone watch the pre race with Acosta throwing that bike around, pretty much put it into practice after the coming together too! The how much life do you get out of tyre Q 🤣

Hi All
Oh and giving Simon Crafar the rece directors job gets a big thumbs up from me.
Hopefully mot 3, moto 2 and rat boy will be properly punished for pi$$ing about looking for a tow, I know he hates it
Best

Hi All
Does anyone know if liberty had any input into the 2027 rule changes or was it solely dorna, moto gp and the motorbike racing association?
Just looked at some of them and it comes across as very nascarish
Best

I will say one thing, he has some proper minerals and is not afraid of an off, unlike FB and this will be the difference, super, super competitive
I laughed at this interview after the main race, what was he, 14th on the grid again and ended up second! FM nearly had him off and he basically said after that moment, that was it, rage lol, a lunatic but calculated of the highest level!!!
Martin ffs, how much bad luck, giving it away like last year 
MM

Did you see MV's 'off' in Q2 Saxon, bucking broncho style

Martin is one of the best, he can battle too like MM. something that FB and MV haven’t got the true minerals for. It will be interesting to see what he can get out of the Aprillia.

You know what, I'm going out on a limb here but I reckon Ducati have made a mistake. Yes it's a clever commercial decision but looking at Vinales yesterday I think Martin is capable of using that bike (or next years) to beat the Ducatis strangle hold on the top slots.

Martin to Aprillia and MM to Ducati, I can see why but imo more legs in Martin.
EDIT, Sprint was a bit 1 dimensional, best bit, ratty falling off. Paco a bit average on this 1 but he can't be expected to be good at every circuit so soon.
