McPhee gave himself some work to do.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Moto3 unlike its usual 20 bike nut fest, MotoGP with some decent racing all the way through the race, Moto2 a bit stretched out

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Yeah, whilst I love riding it, it didn't really make for exciting races.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Why would anyone open the thread if you don't know,or want to know the result?
I combat this potential catastrophe by staying away from racing threads until I've watch all the action.
Strange though it may seem.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
With the thread title as it is, I have no sympathy for anyone who opens it and doesn't want to know the results.
I don't like spoilers in titles though

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Results or spoilers in thread titles are a pain for sure,but being wary of race discussion in a thread in case someone gets exercised makes it all a bit pointless,the moment passes and the thread dies unloved.
It sometimes takes me days to watch stuff,but I've never gone looking in a racing forum,then be pissed off because I saw the result before I watched the race. I didn't think that was difficult.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
I'm the opposite. Always disliked it.
But the racing doesn't need to be all action to be good. I just watch each rider a bit closer and see them pushing right to the limit.
The lap record was smashed every lap at end of Moto2 race

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Dunno, even Jack Miller seemed pleased for him that he got a podium after 7 years of trying. Its been a long slog on what has been the worst bike in the paddock that has buggered a few other riders GP career.
Was nice to see Aleix running down to see his kids in the garage before going back to do the PR bit

That was cool, but he's had a good run without doing much.Bigyin wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:49 pmDunno, even Jack Miller seemed pleased for him that he got a podium after 7 years of trying.

Him and Lorenzo had a spat where he slagged Jorge off.
Best ever comeback.
Ahem. I've had 68 GP wins.
You've had zero. Fuck all

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Its always handy when you have always been on the best kit rather than the worst bike in the paddock for most of your time in the top class

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Not always, not even that often in some cases. A Spag is clearly a bloody impressive rider and to solo handed develop that bike into a podium machine is really incredible on their budget.
I think he's done exceptionally

He had a factory Suzuki ride and was shite compared to team mate so was sacked.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Not getting on with a particular bike doesn't make you shit, otherwise using that logic, Rossi is shit, so is Rins, so is Alex Marquez and anyone who's ridden the Honda recently from Cal to Taka.

Re: Silverstone British MotoGP 2021
Alex has never done anything to warrant a factory bike since the Suzuki, this result was good and with Vinales heading to Aprilia we’ll see how well it can go.
