Moto GP 2019

Well only Marquez can ride that bike and come up with the goods, well done for a good clean race up the front
McPhee was lucky not to get involved in that crash and actually benefitted from it to a good second place

[S griffin]

He’s still on top, who knows how long this will go on for.

As for McPhee, he’s riding well and yes, had a bit of luck this time thanks to that crash

[E.B]

MM93 is just on a different page to others. Love him or hate him, you cant deny his ability.... he can ride a bike pretty well.
Another nightmare from Lorenzo.....

Marc Márquez needs to be ballasted. Maybe carry a passenger, or tow a trailer.

Compared to his old team mate Pedrosa he is ballasted as he only weighed about 70lbs

[S griffin]

Yes he is a bit bigger than pint sized Pedrosa

Interesting to see him(Pedrosa) riding at Goodwood at the weekend

He obviously learnt from that move at from Rins at Silverstone, pipping Fabio Quartararo to the post at Misano. MM really is a talent.

Well not a lot more can be said about todays winner ! more to the point wtf is wrong with Lorenzo ?

He was briefly on the pace then just fell away, very puzzling. As for MM - a walk in the park, he's just on another planet. Nobody else can show any real pace from the Honda, according to Cal it's rubbish but MM rides the wheels off it but then again given a few laps I think he'd ride the wheels off anything.

[S griffin]

Maybe Lorenzo's time has passed? Marc Marquez is on top form, how long can this last? He's one of the greatest of all time, no one else can get anything from that Honda, he's that great

[justracing]

Lorenzo mired back in the pack in qualifying at Thailand, so who will be on the Honda next year?

[S griffin]

Maybe they will put someone like Cal on there or someone else from a satellite Honda

Marquez minor - Alex would seem to be a good choice?

Certainly Marquez is on the edge, did you see the get off in practice yesterday?

Interesting fact, as told by the Dutch commenting team on Eurosport.
The man who's time has passed (I think I agree) is the only man on the face of the earth, who was ever able to beat Marquez for the MotoGP world title.

[GORDON STREETER]

Well there's no doubt that Marquez has matured and determined to show who's top dog, congratulations on the win and the championship.
I would think that Lorenzo will not race for Honda next year and possibly pull out altogether from MotoGP unless he is offered something he can't refuse.
As for who will replace Lorenzo if he pulls out I don't think it will be Crutchlow who has already said that he may retire ?

[justracing]

That really is quite some record for MM, Agostini did it by wiping the floor with everyone on a multi cylinder bike against little or no competition but to get 8 wins in the current period is a fantastic achievement. That move on Quartararo was reminiscent of Rossi destroying Gibernau, as you say he's certainly matured. It will be sad to see Cal disappear off the grid but I fear it's a done job, by all accounts nobody puts more effort it with little or no reward. Quartararo's pace and consistency at the front was incredible just like Lorenzo used to do!

[S griffin]

Quatararo put up a good fight, but Marquez always saves it to the end. Can anyone give him a run for his money in 2020? Probably not Lorenzo!

MotoGP has signed a deal with Brazilian promoter Rio Motorsports (Júnior Pereira) to race at a new racetrack at Deodoro for 2022.

Quite possibly, however the track has yet to be built and as Brazil is not "too flushed" with money it may be another "damp squib" like the new circuit that was going to be built in Wales !

[S griffin]

Well we've got three years to wait. Would be nice to see MotoGP back at Brazil though, after all Argentina has now returned to the calendar too

[NaBUru38]

Also it's been said that Júnior Pereira is linked with known corrupts. It all smells fishy.

Corruption in Brazil ! Never

Marquez gets his first Japanese GP pole in mixed conditions ahead of Morbidelli, Quartararo and Vinales all on Yamahas.

Marc is going to have his work cut out in the race if it is dry.
