He may be the one to break Agostini's record.
Only 7 more championships to go.
He better hurry, time is running out.
He is already 21!

Who cares really.

My interest in this series fizzled out a few months back, Moto3 is the only thing worth watching

Certainly Moto3 gets the blue ribbon this weekend.
That was the kind of racing that got me hooked
on moto gp back in the 90's.

I wonder what's changed? Moto2 put on some wild races not that long ago. Then again the bikes also seemed harder to ride around that time, as there were more crashes - including some pretty bad ones.

I think maybe it could be the group of riders coming through the system.
Risk takers vs. conservative riders. It may be a cyclical thing. Just a guess.

He's off to Nippon to test for Honda next week, I think it is.

Otherwise, I think he may be enjoying doing as little as possible perhaps.
I doubt he will come back to racing bikes for real, and as for that year in those V8 things, the mind boggles. Why oh why????????

The youthful looking 'old' man does it again at Philipp Island! Same very odd crashes on the brakes for others.

Pity Miller did rough Marquez up even more at Sepang - Valencia should be really interesting in Moto 3, hope Jack can do it
Moto 2, Rabat wins but nobody wants him in the premier class???
Hope Marquez don't beat Doohans record of 12 wins in a season too - go Ducati

Very quiet here. Don't enjoy Moto 1,2 or 3?

If you do care, even a little bit, the old man is on pole for the last race of the season in Spain.

And Jack just falls short. As a fellow Aussie I'm excited at Jack's ability, however I hope he matures and learns to stop being such a bad sport.

Really enjoyed the Moto3 in Spain. If the younger
Marquez makes it to GP, I wonder how that will
go racing his brother? I would really like to see
the younger Marquez make a stop at WSB first.

Pre-season testing seems to be suggest that Spaniards will dominate again

Over the past couple of years my interest has moved
more toward Moto 2 & 3 . Moto GP has really
become quite predictable. Still like it though.

My interest in GP racinghas waned considerably over recent years

The top class is now basically a road version of WRC, where the top guy is almost unbeatable. His only rival is anoterh Spaniard who rides in a very boring way, and the guys who wins most of the time just for me has a put on charm, I cant warm to him.

I have no interest in endless Vinales, Espig, Rabat drones coming in. The class is nothing without the draw of Rossi, and will deflate a lot when he leaves if someone similar does not replace him.

There i good racing elsewhere, BSB piqued my interest last year due to the resurgence of a man written off by everyone, Kiyonari. Other than that, Motot3 was the obvious highlight.

The Spanish had it right all those years ago, they loved 125 and 250 racing, used to go home for the 500's.

if only that were true now

Not holding my breath on Ducati. Seems like
they have tested well preseason in the past only
to midpack it in the season.
