The MotoGP Thread

Just watched the sprint for the new MotoTP championship... Am I the only one losing interest fast over racing being run based on % of Tire Pressure in each event?

In 2026, MotoGP is expected to maintain the current minimum tire pressure rules. These rules mandate a minimum front tire pressure of 1.8 bar and require riders to maintain this pressure for at least 60% of the race distance in Grand Prix races, and 30% in Sprint races. Failure to comply with these rules results in a time penalty.

TP....where have I heard that before...
 
Blame Dorna.... Michelin has tried to make a new front tire but needed testing time and approval. Dorna never pushed for it.... just added more rounds and left it alone.

Im hoping the Pirelli change rights the ship.
 
The prerace today was really worth watching. Some great Rossi and Stoner info and pics, as well as unreal glider and helicopter shots.
 
Austria always puts on a hell of a show.

This weekend, the new track. WSBK was a shit show there and so far, not much different in GP and Moto2/3. Aprilia already two motors blown…..
 
Im watching the new Yamaha V4 times like a hawk

Agusto Fernandez FP2 gap on it is the same ~1.2 as his I4 times on other tracks

Im taking extremely optimistic liberties with that news and assuming the V4- whose engine is turned down power wise for reliability and aero is still built around the I4 BTW- is within shooting range of the current I4 bike performance wise

Still bummed that MotoGP is becoming even more of a spec series with this move but thats a worthy price to see my boy Fabio where hes supposed to be. The only rider on the grid more talented than FQ20 is MM93
 
MotoE Race 2 this morning is really worth watching. One more weekend before they retire the series. November in Portugal.
