Great racing in today's Moto3 race...Moto2 and MGP to come!
A change to Pirelli tyres from Dunlop is providing a bit of novelty...as well as the usual progression of young riders.

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten that the bikes were on today.Originally Posted by PickleB
The MGP sprint race was yesterday. Again, the change to Pirelli adds something new into the mix.
I’ve given up on MGP. For the first time in many years, I’ve not renewed my subscription. I suspect I’ll glance at the results, but for me just to many Spanish and Italian, riders and to many Ducatis.
T'was ever thus...remember Agostini and MV Augusta?
This year's MGP may well be another Ducati fest but watching the others improve is half of the interest. Rider skill is more apparent than in 4 wheeled racing, IMO.
Being able to see the more junior classes at the same meeting adds something to the mix as well. Then it's off to WSBk, BSB and the FIM European championships to see where the talent comes from / ends up.
I’m only 62🤪🤪
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the WSBK from Philip Island, literally had me shouting at the screen, jumping off the couch and closing my eyes. And I can’t wait for BSB, as I have a young lad to support in the Supersport class on a great bike, so I’m hoping he has a season to give him a leg up and I’m looking forward to getting to a few rounds to watch him.
Highlights are on ITV4 at 8pm tonight and Will subsequently be on ITVX.
Talking of Jake Dixon, hope he’s OK. That highside was brutal😟
Thats what I was looking for but couldnt find.
Thanks for all the replys.
Glad it’s back. Seems to have been a long winter.
Looks like normal service will resume but with the added spectacle of the KTM being on the pace and MM lurking!
Off to Austin in a few weeks, so very much looking forward to that.

M3 race has just finished...I hope you enjoyed it. Incidents, accidents, race craft etc all made for a great race. I'll be watching M2 and MGP but they'll have to go some to beat that for racing excitement.
Update: But they certainly tried...

Yeah, was a good battle for 2,3 and 4. Sat next to some Colombians who were clearly happy!
Not a bad view

Effective 2007:
- MotoGP class engine displacement will reduce from 1000 cc to 850 cc. The maximum cylinder bore will reduce from 81 mm to 75 mm. Engines will remain 4-stroke only, with 4 cylinders
- The minimum bike weight in the MotoGP class will be 153 kg
- No ride height devices of any kind will be permitted, including “holeshot” devices activated solely for race starts
- Fuel tank capacity will be reduced to 20 litres for Grand Prix races and a maximum of 11 litres will be permitted for the Sprint
...plus some other refinements.
Just hope we don’t see worse racing, like we had in the 800cc era.
