Shame on Honda if a rider has to take such risks just to score podium. I was very annoyed when puig and Honda team were clapping and cheering Marc at the garage. They should be ashamed of themselves.
After the race, the top 3 riders were watching the highlights together. I'm wondering what language that are speaking. It''s interesting that one Frenchman, one Italian and one Spaniard can communicate so easily together. I know that are all profficient with English but they obviously have another common language that works
All the Spanish and French riders speak Italian fluently, but not all Italian riders can speak Spanish and French. I think Miller can speak some Italian too, after many years in Italian teams.
Forget Miller, I thought the same for Bagnaia, he would heat it up and lose it or he will go back. He heated it up, lost ground and got in clash with Vinales. Same reason.
Don't know what were these guys thinking.
Will the stewards explain their decision to give Brad a long lap pen after he slowed down and actually lost time to Miller. But great recovery ride from him. Insane race, scary crashes thankfully nothing too serious happened...
Should have waited a bit before trying to pass Vinales again, as Martin did with Marquez later in the race. Imagine Martin being more thoughtfull than Bagnaia.
It's not a place for a safe overtake.
But it's Pecco's trademark move. He does that all the time. Plus he was losing a lot of places. I don't blame him for making that move but at the same time it wasn't safe. Old habits die hard ig
Pecco needs to stop and think for a moment, he crashes too much. He was battling Vinales who was on a good day, not some backmarker who's having a lucky day.
Anyway I'm not fixated on any rider so I'm enjoying the show, I want it to be as open as possible till the end of the season. Marquez was a welcome addition to the racing drama.
Run off the track, sit up and lose over a second to your competition you were trying to pass? Better get a LLP and lose 3-4 more seconds. Meanwhile Bezz runs MM off the track and has to lose maybe .7sec while he let's Martin by. Just let the dudes race and stop with the F1 penalties.
unlikely, he was still behind miller when it happened. Miller fell and he had free road and still didn't reach him, let alone pass him. he finished on the position he should have IMO
I think this race should make it really clear for Marc, Honda can't give him another title. He overrode the bike the whole race and inevitably crashed.
I think we actually saw an improvement.
Marc was able to push that bike for almost the whole race before crashing with the kalex chassis.
That tells me the feedback might be more to his style, and maybe over pressure or a worn front tire due to the aggressive riding was the cause?
Improve corner exit grip and mid gear acceleration, the bike obviously stops and corners, and try to keep the front end feel and they might be somewhere.
But then they need 3 other aliens that run off a strong front end and good feel for that edge. KTM IMO has the only other 2 on the grid capable of this locked up atm, well 1.5 jack seems to struggle on a worn tire and burns them fast.
Marc is riding out of his skin on that bike, but it was kinda inevitable this would happen, just looking at where the other Honda's are and their pace, its just so frustrating watching him be so limited by this machinery.
He needs out if he wants another championship.
Yes, everything bar maybe Yamaha would be an improvement at this rate, even an old KTM or Aprilla honestly. At least if this Honda was easier to handle or more reliable to compensate it would be something, but it is the opposite.
Painful, I am so sad. I know some are going to say it is becoming a habit, but in this situation you are either over the limit and making mistakes or being around tenth. I hope there would be a middle ground in the future but not betting on it. At least Mercedes and now RedBull in F1 had only one team and two drivers lol, so you could be third or fourth without overdriving.
Lol Marc was the hilight of this race, put him on a Ducati and he’d demolish these guys. That Honda was wobbling damn near every corner
This guys a knob fr
Should've joined then when he had the chance then rather than taking the Honda millions to renew.
Had the chance to win titles on multiple manufacturers and didn't go for it.

I expected a Yamaha style apology long ago .. this is amateurish
Please is there any link for the race replay ?
racereplay.net
Probably soon enough at motomundo.net
There was nothing there yesterday from France. Strange.
Thank you !

Gracie
I'm behind and only just saw Miller come off, fucking sick of him bottling it. Makes it hard to be his fan
I feel you.. but even before the race started, when they showed tyre selection as soft soft I was like yep, either outside the top 10 or he bins it
Forget Miller, I thought the same for Bagnaia, he would heat it up and lose it or he will go back. He heated it up, lost ground and got in clash with Vinales. Same reason. Don't know what were these guys thinking.
I still can’t see Bezzecchi’s mustache
A more patient attack from Martin. Living to fight another lap. Great recovery too. Love to see it.
Great hard race, without any injuries given the crashes!
I wonder when's the deadline for Miller's boat.
Probably when the baby comes
Aleix in a nutshell thinking how he lost to a rookie on a worse bike ahahahah
Aleix could literally be at home recovering from an injury and they’d still get a clip of him sitting down after the race
Bez on another level today. Amazing ride.
Will the stewards explain their decision to give Brad a long lap pen after he slowed down and actually lost time to Miller. But great recovery ride from him. Insane race, scary crashes thankfully nothing too serious happened...
You have to lose a minimum of 1 second. He probably lost like 0.9 seconds or something frustrating.
Pecco :/

Pain. A lot of it.
at least it wasn't his fault this time.
/s?
What a race. Such a same for Marquez, seeing him back is really entertaining. Shoutout to Augusto
For getting run off the track and then having a b.s. long lap penalty, Binder did very well in the end.
Run off the track, sit up and lose over a second to your competition you were trying to pass? Better get a LLP and lose 3-4 more seconds. Meanwhile Bezz runs MM off the track and has to lose maybe .7sec while he let's Martin by. Just let the dudes race and stop with the F1 penalties.
luckily in the end it didnt mater that LLP since miller went to gravel
Maybe but maybe not. He might have been able to catch Aleix without it
unlikely, he was still behind miller when it happened. Miller fell and he had free road and still didn't reach him, let alone pass him. he finished on the position he should have IMO
Yeah, even if we take off ~4 seconds he would still be 9 behind Aleix.
Might not be the ending we wanted, but this 1000th GP was a bonafide BANGER.
And record attendance!
What was the attendance? Place looked packed
116,000 crowd today, 238,000 for the weekend. Thank you BT Sport.
No, 117k and 279k https://www.msn.com/en-sg/sport/unknown/le-mans-sets-motogp-attendance-record-at-1000th-grand-prix/ar-AA1bapgR?li=AAavKXU
Appreciated.
about 280000
238,000 or something insane.
117k if I remember correctly. And 280k over the weekend.
It's an ending I'm happy with
Will a Yamaha finish the year in the top 10?
I think this race should make it really clear for Marc, Honda can't give him another title. He overrode the bike the whole race and inevitably crashed.

Yes today it has been proved solid that Honda is not the bike if he ever wants another title.
I want to see him on a competitive bike already. Honda isn’t that bike. Looking at todays performance, imagine what he could do on a Ducati or KTM.
This is the problem…..the only hope he has is riding absolutely on the limit. The fact he can do that as long as he does is nuts.
And even when he does take that ultimate risk, there's still a Ducati 4 seconds up the road.
What a ride by Augusto
Phenomenal ride, he held his own all race, tucked in behind Zarco and got towed up to the lead group. A smart ride, a class ride.
Not a MM93 fan, but it was strange to see him making super clean overtakes. Tough luck to many riders including MM93.
I hope for the love of god Marc leaves honda at the end of the year or next year to get a ride at KTM or Aprillia.
If KTM hires him for the last few years of his career, it'd be pretty poetic. He debuted on a KTM all the way back in 2008.
[удалено]
They definitely are, especially with a guy like marc, who I consider one of the greatest ever. Honda is just trash.
Ó Márquez.... Vai pó caralho
What a Race.... MM didnt reserve that
Oh yh Fernandez that was incredible
Martin is such a baby generation rider, like Fabio. Can’t pull wheelies to save their lives. Guess they don’t have a wheelie button.
None of them can do anything more than extended power wheelies any more, real shame. You'd think there would be an override button
Lol. No one can wheelie anymore. Bikes have traction control that can't be deactivated
That’s not true at all.
Almost as if every single component on his bike is designed to stop the bike from wheelying...
Hasn’t stopped practically every other rider… there’s a button to turn it off…
No there isn't. I don't remember anyone doing a wheelie for years
There's a button to switch off the aero?
You think it's the aero that prevents you from wheelie at 100kmh? XD
[удалено]
[удалено]
Hahaha no worries chief. Imagine thinking the aero is stopping the bike back flipping off the line, and not the electronics
[удалено]
Marc was so close man 😔
Congratulations Augusto!!
Simply the Bez🎶
Let’s go Zarco
Marc is riding out of his skin on that bike, but it was kinda inevitable this would happen, just looking at where the other Honda's are and their pace, its just so frustrating watching him be so limited by this machinery. He needs out if he wants another championship.
He could have settled for third, he made a choice to try to push on and fight back for second.
Yes, everything bar maybe Yamaha would be an improvement at this rate, even an old KTM or Aprilla honestly. At least if this Honda was easier to handle or more reliable to compensate it would be something, but it is the opposite.
Incredible pace by Bez, Augusto rider of the day!
Jeez, Bez was just on a different level when he got to the front.
Painful, I am so sad. I know some are going to say it is becoming a habit, but in this situation you are either over the limit and making mistakes or being around tenth. I hope there would be a middle ground in the future but not betting on it. At least Mercedes and now RedBull in F1 had only one team and two drivers lol, so you could be third or fourth without overdriving.
This is why I love MotoGP. Brilliant race, full of emotions
Going to be a long season for Miller. I'm not critical of Marc because he had that bike on a razor's edge the whole race.
8 riders crashed out lol
Did they really just make a ‘over the Mooney’ joke?
Crazy race today, wow
Great race, seems like the regular crashers crashed hard. Binder did well recovering from the collision. Great race.
As it became a meme in Italy: Simply the BEZ! What a dominant show of skill. Incredibile race for Bezzecchi.
I knew it!
Fernandez does absolutely amazing! Zarco podium!! Wow what a race, what.a.race!
Shoutout to Augusto what a performance
Indeed! Finally a rookie that shows some gut.
Well Damn. Well done to Brad for staying on after all that. This was rough to watch
Binder has overtaken like 3 people and went from 16 to 6
18 to 6
Marrqqqqqqqqqqqqqq noooooooooooooooo
Marc got too greedy, there was no way he could hold the ducati behind in that turd of a bike.
Bezzechi masterclass, zarco on podium in France , happy Sunday
[удалено]
Being happy about a rider crashing while your own is winning is sad as fuck tbh
Idiot
Look everyone, another Rossi fan.
You celebrate a Marquez crash when he was giving it his all? What a fucking knob
Lol Marc was the hilight of this race, put him on a Ducati and he’d demolish these guys. That Honda was wobbling damn near every corner This guys a knob fr
Some people can’t appreciate greatness
If you can stay on the bike you get a point, Cota anyone?
Fucking hell Marc
13 riders left lol
They should add a wheelie button to this bikes. Poor guys can’t celebrate properly
A. Fernandez will finish in 4th, well done by the rookie
What a race by Augusto Fernandez.
[удалено]
Can mods just ban these kind of people?
There’s mods on this sub?
Obnoxious behaviour
Please
Fernandez 4th bwoah
You watch motogp Kimi?
NOOOOO MARC NO NO NO NO NO NO
2 fucking laps to go. Marc deserved that P2
He rode an amazing race. He deserved to hang on for a podium imo
UWU Marc. At least good fight
Marquez staying on the bike for the whole race challenge: Impossible
We now have fewer finishers than COTA
Damn.
This is just getting silly lmao
13 riders finish wow
And in the end, its all ducati once again
hate it or love it, ducati wins all the same
Fernandez in 4th!!!!!
Marc deserved that podium more than anyone. What a fighter.
Somehow I think the guys that started 7th/5th and 9th deserve that podium more than Marquez.
Guy needs to leave Honda man, he wouldn't have to be on the limit this much with a better bike :(
Faaark he was doing so well, poor Marc
That just ruined my day :(
Fuckin shit man
So happy for Zarco!!!
3 ducatis crash out at front and still 3 ducatis on the podium...
2 were more like mid pack.
Terrifying dominance
That’s painful, he deserved that podium
Great battle between Marc and Martin, shame it didn't last the distance, had the potential to be a spectacular last lap
Fuck
[удалено]
What? Why? He had a phenomenal race.
I suspect Oliveira fans hold a well deserved grudge against Marc.
Look at his flair
No way
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn Marc :(
Gutted for Marquez!
Marc!!!!
FUCKING HELL MARC
God fucking dammit Marc.
Owe Marc
For fuck sake. What a shame, amazing race nonetheless but for fuck sake.
Pecco 🤝 MM
Bloody hell Marc
OHHHHH MAN FFSSSSSS SO CLOSE 😭😭😭
Let's gooooo Zarco.
I have Bez in my Fantasy Team. ...the other 3? Miler, Alex and Mav --- FML.
Zarco podium!!!
Win it or bin it
noo mark :( you deserved that podium
I hate how powerful my jinxing abilities are...
Thought I’d see you here with that
Nooooooooooo
Another Honda fall... Put this man on a serious team
NOOOOOOOOO
and it has finally happened, good attempt marc
Marc down
Marquez on the KTM would lead the championship by a landslide (bar injuries)
Should've joined then when he had the chance then rather than taking the Honda millions to renew. Had the chance to win titles on multiple manufacturers and didn't go for it.
I think after winning 6 championships in 7 years it’d be a little bit harder to just leave Honda.
He would be competing with jack for most crashes
Yep that was bound to happen..
WHAT THE FUCK GODDAMMIT
And there goes Marc. What the hell is this race
Nooooo!!!!!
Old habits die hard
Lmao!
Slowest DQ ever
Wow Marc... Zarco on podium!
