MotoGP 2020

Another podium coming up for binder at this rate
 
What a ridiculous day's motorcycle racing. Amazing stuff from Dovi, given what has gone on off track the past 24 hours.

And Brad. What a boytjie!
 
LOL.

Okay, who had an outside bet on a Dovi win after he told Ducati to take their shyte and shove it yesterday?

Great ride from him and good fourth from Brad.

17th to 4th. Fantastic result. Unlike his team mate, he kept his head and scored points.

Yeah, he seems a bit of hothead. Devastatingly fast but maybe not a lot between the ears. Honda will have their hands full next year with him along side MM93.

Brad is serious championship material here. The KTM I think is a better bike than Quartararo's Yamaha. So if he can keep it upright, he's got the pace.

I'm a bit concerned that KTM are still figuring things out, but let's hope!

I think the bike is great. Sure, they'll be stronger at some tracks than at others but that's the same for all of them (apart from the Aprilias who are kak everywhere). The only issues I can see is the drivers. One gets hot under the collar easily and the other is still wet behind the ears (from an experience perspective). Brad riding like a seasoned vet though. Long may it continue.
 
Pol had the opportunity but not the race craft.... He didn't have to push so hard so early on... But he will learn
 
What a fantastic day, all three races had plenty drama. Good results for both Binders. I reckon MM93 is glad that FQ has had success in last few races as it makes it easier for him to catch up and take #9
 
Zarco was apparently upset with comments made by Rossi and Morbidelli in the Italian press. So much so he cancelled his own post-race media commitment to have a face-to-face talk with Rossi.

Austrian MotoGP: Zarco meets with Rossi, 'I didn't cut the line'

''He [Rossi] just told me that when he saw the crash, just with the few views that we have on the TV, that I went super wide and I did this during the braking just to stop Morbidelli," Zarco said.

"I explained to him that I didn't go so wide and we have to check again, even myself, because I was not crazy wide. And I really did not want to stop Morbidelli, this was not the idea in the moment I was braking.

"So he wanted that this was clear, that I didn't do it on purpose, because in the first idea when he saw it – but then he knows the bikes are so fast at 300 km/h, heavy and at this speed you cannot change your line in the last moment like in Moto3.

"That's why he told me, 'just careful for it', and I said, 'Vale, I'm careful for it and that's why I tried to keep my line'. But in the way I was moving I could not go more on the left and that's maybe what surprised Franco. This was the discussion.

"I think yes [he understood me] because we were just both together. I think this was very, very important because my feeling is we spoke honestly."

Austrian MotoGP: Valentino Rossi: It was terrifying

"It was so scary. It was terrifying," Rossi said after the race. "We have to pray to somebody, everybody has to pray to who he decides. But, f**k. I feel bad. I was scared, very much. Because today was very dangerous."

The nine-time world champion admitted it was "very difficult" to go back out and concentrate for the restart, but "at the end, I don't have a choice. Because I don't want to say 'ciao' to everybody and go home. So I have to restart.

"You try to not think about it, but it's really difficult, and even now it's not easy. I spoke to my girlfriend already, she is destroyed! But I haven't spoken to my mother and Graziano. Now I will call them for sure. Especially Graziano."

Rossi feels riders are becoming a bit too aggressive and should start thinking about one another.
 
Pol's attitude after the red flag was borderline disgusting. He's a bit self entitled by the looks of it and as mentioned he didn't keep his cool after the restart. Wonder if Honda is having second thoughts.
