Says who? £20 per month is a lot especially when it’s only costing me £6.99 per month for Eurosport and I get much more for that than I would paying £20 per month for just the GP.

Sure... Tis your choice.. but consdiering your passion for racing, it surprises me.

Aye but passion doesn’t magic up money now does it?

If you admit Rea is a nice guy the forum will pay next years subs for you

They've reduced the price of the Videopass down to £25 for the remainder of the season.

How would I work out if I can play the English version over here?!! (Although it probably wouldn't do me any harm to watch it in French, I just won't know everything that is going on!! LOL)

I really can't afford the 20£ a month, but could be tempted to try and sort out the 25£ for the rest of the season (three races is pretty good since I've not seen any more than just highlights for the rest!!)

Or the dominance of Marquez once again.

That Moto3 crash was quite terrifying, how they all managed to walk away ...
Acosta looked like he was ready to go straight back out again though!

Post by **Skub** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 3:57 pm

That was pretty nasty,but could have been so much worse.

Even when McPhee is winning,he doesn't get to win. 3rd prize is better than nowt I suppose.

Hmmmmm, hasn't Oncu been mentioned once or twice on threads here recently?

That Moto3 Race was mental, Best ride from McPhee all season.
Really enjoyed the MotoGP. You've got to give it to Marquez, that was a fantastic ride and the strategy was spot on, he knew that if he got in front, Quartararo wouldn't get into a big scrap with him at the beginning.
Quartararo must already be thinking that its going to be a VERY difficult defence of the title that he's surely going to win? With a couple of weeks off it'll be interesting to see how much stronger again Marquez will be.

I think Kenan Sufuoglu has all the Turkish mafia schooled in the 'no prisoners' way he used to ride.

I think a 2 race ban is very harsh.

EDIT.

Aha

There's mixed feedback from the paddock as to whether it's harsh or not. There's the "everyone does it" school and there's the "yeah, but he's done it far too often and is an aggresive twat who needs his wings clipped" school. I'm in the latter.

It's a clear choice imo. Either the organisers let thing go as they are and take the risk of the consequences,or they draw a line stating,this far and no more.

They've made an example of Oncu,because a precedent needs to be set.

I kmow i have mentioned before that in some races he looks like an accident waiting to happen with his riding style and doesnt seem to give a fuck how his actions have consequences to others. As others have said it appears almost all the young Turkish riders coming through under Keenan's mentoring are showing some of these characteristics at some point, although not all as bad as Oncu

Prime example was opening lap this weekend into the fast twisty section he stuffed the bike underneath McPhee causing him a massive sit up and loss of position. McPhee went past him at the same point a couple of laps later and was so smooth Oncu didnt even have to change line.

The penalty is a tough one but its drawn a line that this apparent disregard for others isnt going to be tolerated ....... same as SBK did with the SS300 kids in the mass bollocking for fucking about on the racing line in qualifying.

We will see if it has any lasting effect on the field in both paddocks
