Getting rid of the green track limits in favour of the progressive rumble strips seemed like a positive step. I wonder if other tracks will follow?

Hats off to the guy on the left, didn't even flinch!

So did they give pecco Martin's tyre by mistake on Saturday? :)

Hero to zero in 24hrs! JM#89 was mesmerising in the sprint and just awful in the main race. Mathematically he's still in with a shout but it's Pecco's championship to lose now. FD#49 rode a great race and deserved the win. Anyone for a good conspiracy theory?

Maybe it should change it's name to EuropeanSBK? 2024 Calander:- 23rd – 25th February: Phillip Island, Australia 22nd – 24th March: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain 19th – 21st April: TT Circuit Assen, the Netherlands 14th – 16th June: Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, Italy...

Start of the warm up lap, everybody's happy............ Two minutes later start of the race and the raincoats are on..............

Had a great time, but the weather beat us in the end, the car park was a zoo, I don't think the guys were ready for everybody to try and leave early. Once the got their act together it actually moved pretty smoothly. The Memsahib got on tv so that was a bonus!

Well the Saturday weather turned out better than expected, fingers crossed for Sunday but we may not be so lucky. Looks like Martin will be hard to beat today if he doesn't make mistakes.

Looks like you will need the umbrella! :)

No question about that, probably feeling the pressure to perform. Seems he's out until after Japan and still has his penalty after that, so this year is just a write off for him.

Nicolo Bulegais moving up to WSBK alongside Bautista, I didn't see that one coming, I thought Bassani was a shoe in there.

It looked a lot worse than it turned out. Pecco is a lucky laddie, and if it wasn't for bad luck Enea wouldn't have any at all. Looks like he needs surgery on both his wrist and ankle.

The "videpass" section is spoiler free, I hope the removal of highlight markers isn't permanent. Looks like the video links have been removed from the schedule section of the calendar also. Maybe it's a work in progress?

Got my tickets this morning, are you still heading that way? I ended up with a hotel in Utsunomiya about an hours drive away, wish I'd booked the hotel a long time ago.

Razgatlioglu to leave Yamaha at the end of the 2023 campaign...

I've never been but hope to be there this year. I signed up for notifications for when ticket sales start yesterday. Obviously the closer to the circuit you stay the spendier it gets, I'll be driving as I'm working in Japan at the time but I read that you need to reserve ahead of time for buses...

Seems that they have in fact ruled: https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2023/05/09/court-of-appeal-marc-marquez-wins/454554 Court of Appeal: Marc Marquez wins! Read the statement from the FIM as it’s confirmed Marquez WON’T have to serve his penalty upon return Tags MotoGP, 2023, Marc Marquez...

Hopefully we might see some more faces at the pointy end this year,

Bastianini in second on the grid, MM 3rd Pecco 9th but sliding on his arse way too much, Aleix 10th but it doesn't look like his head is properly in gear and Fabio 12th with a fractured finger should be fun tomorrow!

Have to agree with that, it looks like Aleix is only in with an outside chance now. If Aprilla hadn't completely dropped the ball in Motegi we'd be shaping up for an epic final three rounds with all three of them pretty much neck and neck.
