Nearly time for lights out 
Aprillia on the front row!
Says MM has now suffered double vision for the 3rd time in his career. Hope he is back to normal soon 
Edit - what a result that

Hi All,
OK, so I'm not a fan, but rat boy is not racing Argentina this weekend. Finally a sensible decision. Puig has been pushing him to destruction, 5 falls last outing and he was pushing him to try fp1 and see how he feels.
I might not like / have any affinity for the guy, but I wouldn't want to see any rider retire through injury which was the way it seemed to be going
Best
Jon

I think the eye problems originally stemmed from the 250 GP crash that nearly blinded him? Fair play to the man, like you say, minted so could do whatever he likes but not much gives an adrenaline rush like the twist of a powerful motorbikes throttle. Take some walking away from that, has the world at his feet

if mm carrys on the way he is I doubt he would reach rossis age..maybe a change of team would do him good, that Honda is a pig by looks of it..but going by todays news with mm getting back his eye problems I could see retirement coming..I wish him well with whatever he chooses, and would be good having him back on the grid at some point. his a very young lad with 100 mill in the bank,i think me mother would tell me what to do if it was me..

Agree
I think he thinks he can, and I think he has the talent to win another one quite easily though, crashing in practice seems to be his game, understanding the exact limits of his bike. I was reading something a while ago and I think over the seasons he has had the most crashes 
Not like Rins who can crash out at anytime though 
That was a fast high side that though, watched it a few times and in the previous corner you can hear the rear wheel spinning and see the back end moving, spun a bit too much that time though!
Race conditions like they were, if he had raced he would have won that one!
Probably end up like Rossi droppijg down the field. When do you tell one of the best MotoGP riders of all time it’s time to hang the gloves up 
As much as I think he’s a dirty rat 🐀 he is the one who could win anytime for me

Been away, just watched the highlights and had a look. Bad one that. Hope he recovers soon. Flicks him straight over and his heads takes a proper impact
MM high side
Out 4 times in practice, pushing and testing the limits of that new bike all the time. Great rider
What a result for Olivero but the racer of the day for me was FQ, some racing that on the Yamaha
Miller ffs

where did John McPhee finish in qualifying? good result for Jake in Moto 2, look forward to seeing him and sam go toe to toe against each other. mm93 should of got a penalty for pulling out like that infront of dovi but then again his dornas blue eyed boy..not having it so easily nowadays is he.. as for the f1 the mrs is a big fan and booked us into the Abu Dhabi race in November, my part of the deal was to pay for the tickets, but fck me no wonder I follow Moto gp and not f1..bloody rip off..

Hi All,
I'm smiling like the proverbial Cheshire cat 😸
Foggia can't string race pace together (moto 3)
Jake Dixon gets pole (30-1 for the win down here)
And the 2 Primac boys are on the front row, ducati's year?, I hope so....
What a great day of qualifying!!!!!
Might even stay up to see how they fix the f1 this weekend just for a laugh especially as Jimm'l fix it Masi just got announced as the F1 race director for the simulator racing they do.
With all the crap that's going on in the world I figure I've got to find some way to laugh and smile 😃
Best
Jon

Sounds like a dream come true that mate. Saw something a while ago, long tours, off-road, over there, sound brilliant. Also looked into riding across Australia and the golden triangle, one day
My first Moto GP watch Donington. Massive Suzuki fan and Schwantz won on the Pepsi logo machine, stunning bike at the time, nuff said
Mentioned a while ago, bike shop near me has Wayne Rainey’s Marlborough Yamaha in, same era, bought for a steel, amazing to see!

I like donnington seen a few gp races there in the past..brands is only half hour away from me, depending on bridge traffic so an easy reach..the Thailand gp might suit you, add on a motor bike tour and make a fortnight of it..

I think they will drop most of the restrictions soon
Donnington for me, love that track
Going to have to put an abroads MotoGP trip on the bucket list, saying that would rather go and ride the tracks myself
