Going to be an exciting year. The silly season has already started with Yamaha signing Vin and Qua. Rossi....poor old thing lol
I think Ducati are going to have great bikes but nobody to ride them to their full potential.
Yes, a Honda HRC marketing dream with the Marquez Brothers
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
Let us hope it's not another year of the Marquez benefit races, turning the title race into a procession following one.
Not that I'm being dismissive of Marc's/his team's skill and performance, not at all, but it makes for boring racing when event after event nobody else can challenge for the lead, and the result of the race (and ultimately championship) tends to be a foregone conclusion, with the only chance of a different result boils down to whether or not Marc drops the thing...
..we need close Moto3 type racing across all 3 classes....'nuff said =)

Agreed, it is pretty much like that now
Was good the year Marc was over eager and kept throwing it away
But maturity or strict company directions have set in now, he plays safe for the points nowdays....
The dynamic with his brother will be interesting, someone will have to be second or at least protect Marc from challengers.
I haven't heard about Jack Miller this year, i hope he has a fast bike again
And Remi Gardner, lets see if he can keep his temper in check and not think its a 250cc motocross race
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
Go Jack!!!!
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

Dani Pedrosa!!!
Bahahahahaah, he was always a freak at Sepang!
I had a double take when i read his name, then remembered he was a test rider.... Too funny!

For mine, testing is the ultimate time for poker face ~ I never read too much into the results =)
Maybe, however to put it all into perspective, here is the recent Sepang Gp records,
Records:
But poker face is real, yesterday Cal Crashlow said the Honda was worse than last year & needs a lot work.
Pole Lap: 1'58.303 168.6 Km/h Fastest Lap: Lap: 3 1'59.661 166.7 Km/h Best Race Lap.: 2019 1'59.661 166.7 Km/h All Time Lap Record: 2019 1'58.303 168.6 Km/h
Yet by lunchtime today he's second fastest & only ~1 tenth of a second off the fastest ever lap of the track. lol,
It's going to be a great season for sure.
All six manufacturers now within .345 of a second of each other at record pace. Yeha!

Well Qatar tests show even more close times.
Records:
Pole Lap: 1'53.546 170.5 Km/h Fastest Lap: Lap: 3 1'55.039 168.3 Km/h Best Race Lap.: 2016 1'54.927 168.5 Km/h All Time Lap Record: 2019 1'53.380 170.8 Km/h
But what about these top speed gains for Ducati & Aprilia. Wow.

Yamaha, Aprilla & KTM seem to be the best improvements, Ducati not far behind. Still, the Dukes are still top of the heap. 355.2kph is nothing to be sneezed at. The best I could ever do on my Kamikazi 100st was about 180kph. Never managed to get my Suzi 650 Katana out onto the open road to find out how fast it could go.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Qatar and Thailand races now cancelled due to Corona with a bit of lime disease....
I see Remy hasn't lost any fear
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
