Dollars to donuts they're fooling around with pipe resonance in an attempt to fatten the midrange because they've lost those revs at the top. Especially the section at the bottom where it's totally straight but still segmented, looks like they've been making it longer bit by bit and testing the effects.

MotoE had a race today and it was pretty good, some last lap shake-ups and some actual racing.

Tomorrow's MotoGP line up, some really good last second laps coming in from a few folks including Brad Binder getting himself up to 6th. Really bad day for Suzuki, Rins didn't make it out of Q1 and Mir though in Q2, couldn't do better than 11th.

1 12 Maverick VIŅALES
2 43 Jack MILLER
3 20 Fabio QUARTARARO
4 44 Pol ESPARGARO
5 63 Francesco BAGNAIA
6 33 Brad BINDER
7 46 Valentino ROSSI
8 21 Franco MORBIDELLI
9 9 Danilo PETRUCCI

If anyone watches World Superbike, Rea won again at the inaugural race in Barcelona, putting Rea 41 points ahead of Scott Redding and Ducati. Ducati can't seem to knock out the combo of Rea/Kawasaki even trying to bring in a host of GP riders to try and steal a championship.


And in WSSP300, Ana Carrasco who won the WSSP300 in 2018 and came in 3rd last year crashed heavily earlier in the week and broke two vertebrae.

I have fully subscribed to Julian Ryder thought that a season like this cannot be great, only entertaining. At the rate this cripple fight is going Marquez could come back for the last 6 races and still have a good shot at winning it.

I'm not so sure, I think the only reason it's a cripple fight is Michelin magic, Marc is special but he's not immune to rubber fuckery.

Not files related, but more sports streaming sites need to have "no spoiler" settings. I logged into NBCSN for something else and it spoiled Morbidelli's win for me.

How so? Up until Sykes moved to BMW he was regularly on pole or at least the front row, being second to Rea has got to feel quite a bit like Dovi behind Marc. (Though Sykes actually got a world title once)

Yeah sykes has been the only other credible Kawasaki rider besides maybe toprak toward the end there. He was fighting and losing to rea just about every weekend.

They've got full sessions going back to 1992, so very much yes. It's not full seasons, but usually the exceptional races where something wild or historic happened.

I've probably watched Rossi's dirt-pass on Stoner at Laguna Seca a dozen times :allears:

Miller can't catch a break.
The rain really threw the rookies today, by the end of the race they were starting to figure it out, the Mir.Vinales/Quatararo dice in the last two laps was fun.

I thought miller was pissed at rins for gently caress-you wheelie-ing past him and flicked him off but it looks like he was just looking back at dovi to see if he was gonna take his place back. really funny to watch especially when they both dnf less than a lap later.

Yeah I'm not sure that was correct. He was coming in behind the safety car which should not be possible. If you're not ready for the warmup lap start, I thought you were supposed to stay in pit lane and start from there when the race starts?

Nah he was waving Rins past, since he went off track he had to concede the position.
