I've never really followed Dakar, but following it through the lens of Petrucci shows what a grind it can be, and this is a guy that has factory support! Imagine all the privateers.

VanVleet is clearly the Raptor's star. I think he is playing all-star caliber if not very close to - he's the biggest reason the raptors are in playoff contention. I hope he makes the team. I do worry about his minutes. The raptors are too thin at Guard so VanVleet has to play a lot. Trent...

Looks like he won the stage by 2 seconds! If he hadn't had that mechanical failure, he'd be in the top 20 if not top 10.

Why Ducati should rename its MotoGP bike the ‘Desmodiffuser’ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/why-ducati-should-rename-its-motogp-bike-the-desmodiffuser

I am a bit surprised a KTM had a mechanical failure so early in the race.

Well, this season is quickly devolving to watching a toilet flush for the NBA lots of players in covid protocol, games postponed... messy stuff edit: was just hearing that a lot of players are testing positive but are asymptomatic.

Damn it - I remember watching this some time ago. I thought it was basically a nice sentimental short story. I had no idea it was a commercial. I still laugh at the deaf guy though

My current rider ratings: Marc Marquez Fabio Quartararo Joan Mir Pecco Bagnaia Franco Morbidelli Jorge Martin Jack Miller Miguel Oliviera Brad Binder Alex Rins Maverick Vinales Johann Zarco Enea Bastianini Raul Fernandez Pol Espargaro Alex Marquez Andrea Dovizioso Aleix Espargaro Remy Gardner...

I don't have high hopes for Suzuki this year. Once they fall off pace, it takes them a ton of time to get it back since they don't have as much money to throw at problems - they have to be much more thoughtful. Consider the squat device this year. I think Honda, KTM (can't get any worse!)...

I heard/read that Fernandez only has 1 year left of his contract. Not sure why he'd stir so much **** up for 1 year, unless his contract is for longer than 1 year (hard to find info on it). Truthfully, I don't see any other factory changing their mind on him based on his tech3 results (unless...

Speculation is that Binder had a contract that was somehow tied to Razali. Because the only entity left with Razali is the MotoGP team (since both Moto2 and Moto3 teams went away), it was cheaper to honour the contract than to buy him out. Under more conventional circumstances, there's no way...

New thread for a new season! Here are the teams and riders for this year: Factory Aprilia: Aleix Espargaro - RS-GP Factory Maverick Vinales (9 MotoGP wins; 4 Moto2 wins; Moto3 champion) - RS-GP Factory Factory Ducati: Jack Miller (3 MotoGP wins; 6 Moto3 wins) - GP22 Factory Pecco Bagnaia (4...

Was it ever stated why Sky is leaving the team?

Diggia was announced several months ago - well, it wasn't really announced insofar that he already had a contract with Gresini. I admittedly am not high on him - I don't expect much. Bezzechi was announced this weekend but I suspect they did not make a big deal out of it because the next...

I've never seen a deeper, more talented field in my years watching. I think it's partly due to the the equality of the machines (which i am in favour of), and also due to pushing riders up to GP younger and faster. In earlier years, you would see quality riders remain in the lower series...

A lot of the people that wanted Rossi to retire are probably those that started watching after his prime and cannot fully understand the hype that surrounds him. I understand this too since recency bias is a powerful thing.
