Title: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: koko64 on June 04, 2021, 03:12:18 PM Melbourne is in Covid lockdown again so haven't been able to ride much. It makes Moto GP all the sweeter during a bitter winter (for here).
A promising start for Ducati. Yamaha look ominous. Remy Gardner will be happy to see KTM's potential. https://www.crash.net/motogp/results/979709/1/catalunya-motogp-barcelona-free-practice-2-results Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP.

Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: kopfjäger on June 04, 2021, 05:16:03 PM Youtube saves the day. Their YouTube channel is monetized, so they get paid when it’s viewed on YouTube. Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: koko64 on June 04, 2021, 05:29:44 PM No free lunch I guess.
I must say that rock n roll music enhances the video experience. Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: koko64 on June 05, 2021, 09:30:50 AM https://www.crash.net/motogp/results/979959/1/catalunya-motogp-barcelona-full-qualifying-results

Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: triangleforge on June 06, 2021, 10:56:01 AM Wow, that race didn't go to script. I loved the headline on MotoMatters' race recap: "Numbers don't lie, but they don't race either." https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/06/2021_barcelona_motogp_race_result.html (https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/06/2021_barcelona_motogp_race_result.html) Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP.

Fab all gangster with bare chest and chain. He got 3 seconds for that on top of 3 for cutting the corner and touching the green. Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: koko64 on June 06, 2021, 04:01:19 PM I loved the headline on MotoMatters' race recap: "Numbers don't lie, but they don't race either." https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/06/2021_barcelona_motogp_race_result.html (https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/06/2021_barcelona_motogp_race_result.html) Quite a good and entertaining report. Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: triangleforge on June 06, 2021, 04:14:46 PM Quite a good and entertaining report. Zara Daniela seems to have taken on the race-day reporting, with David Emmett doing a lot of the after race analysis; a lot of it behind a paywall. Both are splendid writers & racing journalists. Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: koko64 on June 06, 2021, 07:41:41 PM Six crashes with turn 10 taking a few. The top three and 1/4 ran a hard rear tyre.
Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: triangleforge on June 08, 2021, 03:19:06 PM Speaking of funny, the headline on this MotoMatters piece is brutal (sorry, Kopf): "2021 Barcelona MotoGP Test Final Times: Maverick Viñales Retains Coveted King Of Testing Title" https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/07/2021_barcelona_motogp_test_final_times.html (https://motomatters.com/results/2021/06/07/2021_barcelona_motogp_test_final_times.html)
Title: Re: Catalunya Moto GP. Spoilers Post by: kopfjäger on June 08, 2021, 05:30:25 PM He’s got that part figured out for sure. I think he has clowns and midgets juggling knives in his head come race day.
