Some interesting stuff on net today about Toprak, great lap time at Sepang in cold conditions with cold tyres, and Yamaha restricted him to only 2 sets. Story is he tried to cadge some more from the Honda garage 🤣

Great bike that inspired one of the best road motorcycles ever made, the R1 
V4 power is untouchable, and Honda have run that for many years, prior to Ducati which is not replicated in their fireblade road offering!
The whole motorcycle world is ****ed up for me. Give me a litre bike anyday, than a middle weight twin which all manufacturers seem to be pushing, good fun but not the same experience by a long way!
Most GP inspired litre bikes are now pushing 20k for a base model, and are been phased out sadly 
As for Moto GP, MM is a racing god, like him or loathe him, completely different level, closely followed by his brother!
Roll on next season, it could be interesting because that Aprillia looks good, Yamaha and Honda may be stronger too

Good ride from Alex M in the sprint.
Fab to see Bulega on MMs Ducati, sad he had a off, espesh doing something he said he'd found out in practice that's different on GP bikes, ie, instant front brake grab, guess it was just habit.

Yep, very nasty, and on the sighting lap too  One relatively o.k, the other will require multiple surgeries.
The GP was good for the 1st 4 laps, great ride from Alex in the end...and Mir stayed on his bike..a bigger achievement than the podium 
EDIT, Reuda with fractured hand & bruising but Dettwiler suffered “multiple cardiac arrests”, fractured his leg, damaged his spleen and lungs, and “lost a lot of blood”.

Hi All
Just watched moto 3 race. That crash on the warm up lap was scary monsters.
Both riders helicoptered to hospital, hope they are both OK.

I think it's a wise move Jon, not worth any risk for next season. Just seen this, new to youtube a good watch. Not sure if it plays for you guys like it did me, but I had to put subtitles on as it wasn't automatic for the none English speaking segments.

Hi All,
Just seen rat boy is out till the 2026 season now, not really surprising, but I guess the surgeons can only cut a guy up so much.

Australian Sprint was certainly different great ride from Bez again, I was hoping for Fernandes & Trackhouse though.

Toprak different level, that BM is not competitive with the Ducati but he makes it, unreal 
Hope MM makes a return

Hmm, not sure, MM seems invincible
Not seen it mentioned on here but if you guys haven't watched the WSB Aragon races, certainly race 1 & Superpole, race 2 not bad either at the beginning, go and watch them.
Bulega & Toprak, some of the very best racing I've ever seen. Even the commentators said they haven't seen anything like it since maybe Edwards & Bayliss 2002.
Just wow! Makes me sad Toprak is leaving, WSB so much more entertaining than GP as of late.
