Granted, but I meant to say that I don't think anyone can deliver results like Marc has over the years; Aliex is 32 so not that much older than Marc either.

There is a rumor he may not make it on the grid: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1009615/1/aleix-espargaro-i-m-lot-pain-and-it-getting-worse https://www.speedcafe.com/2022/08/07/espargaro-in-doubt-for-british-motogp-race-after-highside/ Here is the crash:

Well, if nothing else people realize why Marc is so missed after today's FP4/Qualy: Aleix's highside looked bad, but consider that Marc could go from that and then fo stright to the box get on the spare bike and make and keep pole position in qualy, whereas Aleix looked what you'd expect a...

This is before my time, and I think the 2 stroke era was dangerous, but had pretty boring racing over all. But, this is another chance to take a poke at DORNA, here is a short segment of Rainey's documentary on BT sports about this ride at Goodwil coming out soon: BT Sports is miles ahead of...

Oh, no. He was just starting to hit his stride this season... I remember him saying he doesn't do MX, so I'm guessing this was on track with a road bike. I hope he gets better and doesn't rush this as he has nothing to prove as a rookie and his path to GP is all bust assured if he just...

I think this has most to do with your POV as that is 95% of the challenge with streaming services, again it's valid for your usecase, but I stand by my point(s) as they've been gathered from a much broader userbase. Consider the fact that in total JC and I did this for ~4 seasons and we were...

I'd take this apart if I didn't have 2 days of work to catch up on: but to be honest I think I realize why the service is as bad as it is; most of the vocal paying demoraphic are too easily content with the status quo--I'm sure they're using these as KPIs to keep things as they are as we speak...

This deserves it's own reply: you cannot be serious, can you? I mean, the content library is good... when it works. I have never seen a more buggy streaming service in my entire life, even the free options via IPTV or RedBull TV and the project JC, I and the guys worked on was far more reliable...

I agree, actually; Fabio is what the next evolution of JLO would have looked like if he had a VR type brand or even if just stayed as test rider at Yamaha and he got PR training: the tragic part is as you said, JLO was pretty insufferable off-track, ironically think that is what makes him more...

Honestly, he is riding that bike in a Lorenzo-esque manner and just checking out from the pack. I think he will run away with the championship now while scoring when the bike isn't capable of race wins. Yamaha essentially will need to build the team around him to keep him happy, and I can see...

See, here is the issue with that: it's exactly that which sells tickets and boosts viewership amongst the wider audience. I don't necessarily like that it occurs and it's better when they race hard on track but get along in the end but even I have to admit that it is slightly more...

Yeah, not great, I was really hoping for Rins to at least get a podium; he's had 2 DNFs and a 17th place in the last races. Mir was looking solid, too. Jorge Martin continues his horrible record at this track and Enea might have just proven why he deserves to be the head of the Ducati Team...

What part of hot-take wasn't made clear? :LOL: I'm not sure I'd pass on a World Champ for a single race winner, epsecially if you keep him on as a test rider/development role sonicedering that is all he was most of his career, and... this is just my opinion here, perhaps Rins wins the World...

My hot-take: Aleix to test rider, Mav takes Marini's bike and both Mir and Rins on an Aprillia would be the best of all possible solutions. That works Ducati seat is already between Enea or Jorge, so who knows... I doubt Taka is getting resigned next year so an LCR seat for Miller if they don't...

Well, with Suzuki pulling out (TBD) it seems the rumour is Mir decided to not take any chances and secured the second HRC seat: I'm not sure how that will pan out, honestly I want him to stay healthy and the Honda is a body destroyer. It's better than seeing him on the grid than not of course...

It's sad to see as the bike was solid on non-HP dominant tracks, but I think they realize that financial uncertainty is too high to justify an arms race with VAG and the major Japanese manufactures: Honda and Yamaha. The Hamamatsu Team was the underdog on the grid taking on the giants with a...

It felt more like a JLO style domination race after he passed Mir, Fabio even called it 'hammer time' like Jorge called it when he was pushing. It was never going to work, and Mir tried to pull back but it was too late as he low sided and Miller took them both. Also, I think it was a sarcastic...

Even on the rain compounds they're taking massive risks going over the jump like they were, the slo-mo shots were very revealing how they had to do a sideways half lean and shift thier weight to back in order to avoid high-siding like Nakagami did in Friday FP. The track is still super green...

Martin is living up to his promise, I just hope he stays healthy enough to see this season out; he has to get a works bike next season. There is no way Ducati can be that blind to keep the current line up as-is. He needs to work on his launches to stay up front, but other than that he seems like...

I suspect a COTA win in typical domination, and then scattered top 10s until Sachsen Ring with another dominant win. Anything else from now until final race in Valencia is incredibly hard to say given how bad the HRC development has been this year, but hopefully those wins will be enough to...
