Very lucky not to have a death or two in Moto3.
The riding is reckless, but I have to say that we've seen irresponsible riding go unpunished in the Premier class this season too.
Glad no serious injuries though, very scary! ____________________ NSR125RR - ZXR750H1 - ZX9R E1 - GSF600S - GSF600SK3 - VFR400-NC30 - SV1000N - ST1100-R - CBR900RR-R - GSF1200SK5 - GSF600SK1 - VFR1200FA - GSXR1000K2 - ZZR1400 D8F

*Penalties have been issued.
Some consistent direction is needed. Redbull rookies is another series that would also benefit from it too. I'm of the mind that under 16s shouldn't be racing in any major championships.
Aye it's a big can of worms I open with plenty of contradiction and complication.
My kid has fallen off horses and she's been my pillion since 8. That's risk right there.
What she didn't have are pressures that these kids are under.
They (well I certainly didn't) have much in the way of self-preservation or consequence.
I follow a bloke on the socials who teaches kids motorcycle racecraft and the whole thing of training these children to race doesn't sit well with me.
I watched the Lorenzo bio-pic ...that scene with his son on a mini-moto also felt wrong to me.
It's just too much for a wee kid to fulfil the wishes of others.
You....the 6 or 7 people in this thread may feel completely different.
*Mir has been demoted one place for running into Miller on the last lap.

The claim that Rossi is somehow clean where Marquez et al are dirty doesn't sit well either. He wasn't aversed to some knocking and shoving in his early career, it's just so long ago that folk have conveniently forgotten about it. |
Well, my take on it is this.
IMO, the “antics” we see on track now, week in week out, are the Marquez legacy.
His behaviour on track, when he was in Moto2, was appalling, he was always prepared to shove anyone off the track and always ready to go for a gap that didn’t exist. How he held onto some of his race wins is a total mystery.
However, rather than being told to calm it down for a season in Moto2, Dorna and the FIM colluded, broke their own rules and promoted him to MotoGP.
He did calm down, a bit, not much as he was still stuffing it up the inside into a gap that didn’t exist and fcuk the consequences for anyone else.
Now he’s a multiple world champion and a whole new crop of teenagers have watched him bump, bash and barge his way to the front. As far as they’re concerned that’s the way to do it!
Yes, we did see similar riding in the past, however it was usually confined to the end of season, championship deciding, races. We did not see it week in, week out, as we do now.
I’m fully aware that “rubbing is racing”, fairing bashing and other shenanigans have always gone on, however using the guy on the outside as a berm, a particular Marquez favourite, has taken things to a new level.
The FIM and Dorna only have themselves to blame, they created the problem and now they need to sort it out! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Circuit racing does have its processional phases and I think it was Stoner (sorry to mention him Fester ) who said the bikes and riders have never been so close.
Guess when the top dozen bikes are within 1.5 seconds of each other and the field is made up of so many champions it'll make overtakes mega risky, or it occasionally means punting someone wide/off.
I liked Stacey Moaner....the story how he got to the top, the amazing things he did on that bitchovaredbike and the people who he beat.
The on the grid interview with the Ducati boss (not Tardotzi the other one...no not Mr chin stroker the other one) who was asked about Casey and said how his input was very helpful in the setup for last weekend). Yeah well...that to me shows the intelligence of the man.
Question is...Will everyone pull over to let his holyness take his 200th podium this weekend. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Ciao Vale.
An incredible career.
Entertainer and a great racer with a superb racing mind.
Helped raise the profile of the sport like many great champions before him (Ago, Sheene..Schwantz..Doohan et al) and those that followed.
Dodged tax bills...punted riders off...played mind-games..ruthless.
An all-rounder. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud
