Marc and Honda in a class of their own.

Moto3 off and running.

That was a close race for the front 2 good to see Dovi giving Marques a bit of competion.
Next up Silverstone and the rumour is if it rains it goes ahead.

Incredible race.

Last 2 MOTO GP have been so close excellent racing hope Dovi is ok big accident on the first lap.
Whos your money on .

What a race at Silverstone. Marquez piped at the post by Rins who won by 13/100ths of a second. Marques must be kicking himself but Rins Suzi was better on the corners. Not sure if it was tyre wear that made the difference or just a better cornering bike but Rins did a great job. Anyway one of the most exciting finishes I've seen. Love Moto GP.

Was hoping to be at Buriram for the GP but work plans have stopped that, bugger.

Sad state the GP is in. The Americans tought the Euros how to ride with a loose ass end. We dominated for decades.

Poor kid got smashed into by bike that didn't see him until it was too late.

Spanish motorcycle racer Hugo Millan has died at the age of 14 from injuries sustained in a crash during a European Talent Cup race at Aragon.
The FIM, motorcycle’s world governing body, announced the tragedy, which occurred as a result of a multi-rider incident at Turn 5 during Race 1.
According to reports, Millan was struck by Polish rider Milan Leon Pawelec, who was unable to avoid the collision.
His passing was confirmed at the circuit’s medical centre, where staff had made their best efforts to treat the rider from Huelva.
Millan had been enjoying something of a breakout season, arriving at Aragon in second position in the standings with four podiums along the way.
“Following a serious incident in European Talent Cup Race One at the MotorLand Aragón Round of the FIM CEV Repsol, it is with great sadness that we report the passing of rider Hugo Millán,” read the FIM’s statement.

Aware you posted this in 2019 but as Harry resurrected this thread today I will add that

2021 Buriram Moto GP set for October has already been canceled

Postponed until next year was the official status. Subject to change, obviously.

Four rounds remain of the 2022 MotoGP Season:

Buriram: Italian rookie Marco Bezzecchi clinched his first MotoGP pole position on Saturday as he scorched his way to a lap record in Thailand, with title contender Francesco Bagnaia qualifying third.

It will be an all Ducati front row for Sunday’s 26-lap race at Buriram after Bezzecchi, 23, set a best time of one minute 29.671 seconds, pipping Spaniard Jorge Martin by 0.021 seconds and Bagnaia (0.104 sec). Bezzecchi also set another record: he is the tenth different rider to achieve pole position this season.

World champion Fabio Quartararo was fourth-fastest on his Yamaha.
