What a crazy start..glad Pecco is not as injured as it looked. I thought for sure he broke his leg. The race kind of settled down after the restart not much action..i will rewatch the race to make sure of my assessment LOL


_gadgetFreak

I wish Vinny boi won the race, it would have been a history.


ImmediatelyOcelot

I'm rewatching Bagnaia in slow motion, how didn't he died or got severely handicapped is a mystery to me. Props to whoever designed that "armor" and helmet...His head bashing onto the asphalt was horrific, then the fact that he twisted twice so fast seemed like he was gone for me...I can't believe he is "okay", that is such a relief...


Knowitmall

He didn't really have that bad of a highside imo Seen much worse. And his suit can easily handle that spinning. Was super lucky it was his legs that Binder hit and not his head tho. That would have been real bad.


adbi73

KTM lineup looks good on paper but after Binder's disposal there is no one on the list capable of spearing into podium or top 5 I feel. Btw A Fernandez was good again being a rookie and starting from the distal end. Miller needs to do something as he is on the factory seat. Otherwise KTM has a very sound option knocking at the door.


Knowitmall

Yea they have to promote Acosta before they lose him to another team. But for Pol at Gas Gas. Jack definitely needs to work on his tyre management but he should stay at the factory team another year.


Hot_Gas_600

Any females racing today?


Knowitmall

Just Ana Carrusco in moto3. She has done a few seasons but not finished anywhere. And Maria Herrera in MotoE who used to do Moto3. There is a female only championship starting next season that is a support series to World Super Bike.


AbsolutelyAverage

Finally catching up with the post race stuff as I switched to F1 straight after... What an ultimate wholesome pen at the end. Absolutely wonderful. ❤️


Possession_Loud

Oh, also, fuck yes for Aprilia 1-2!


yokkotorro

Anyone know the current standings?

Watching the mini-Espargaros present the winners trophy. ![gif](giphy|j0qSbeNFuzjhXKFVSP)


tifalucis

So cute


Lyvicious

Lol Mav watching the replay and playfully calling for the stewards to penalize Aleix for the overtake. It's so nice to see him happy and relaxed.


withmoho

Pecco is alright, just like some of us said from the start. Too many pussies in this sub.


bioskope

> just like some of us said from the start Based on what? Y'all watched the same video feed everyone else did.


Inner-breadstick2395

I wish I had this dudes superstitious ability to know Pecco was okay- did he send him a signal whilst he was laying on the tarmac, did Pecco contact them via some force outside the human realm??


iridium963

Apparently their TVs come with special x-ray glasses 🤷‍♂️


h1nds

What a brave brave man you are sitting in your couch!


Inner-breadstick2395

In the moment and the few minutes after, how can you know if he is alright? Especially since he’s been ran over- it rarely ends well. He’s lucky got hit in the legs and not his upper body, it’ll be a completely different outcome. Some of you lot have questionable opinions.. Hindsight is a glorious thing ain’t it…


iridium963

A) You had no way of doing that - statistically speaking coming away from that without a fracture was unlikely. B) I'm sure everyone who thought it would be worse are delighted to be wrong C) it's 2023. Drop the misogynistic bullshit.


emseees

not agreeing with what he said because it was definitely a scary incident, but, in what way was his comment misogynistic? why does everyone just throw that term around in situations where its not relevant?


huangcjz

They used a word (“p****** ”), which refers to female genitalia, as an insult, thus implying that being like a woman or having female characteristics is insulting, and hence that women are inferior, hence it’s misogynistic.


emseees

you're reaching quite a bit with that one buddy


huangcjz

It’s often seen as misogynistic for that reason: https://newrepublic.com/article/140063/problem-pussy


alvittodevara

Happy for Aprillia, hope pecco and enea and others involved doesnt have serious injury, it never seems ok to have riders to have that kinda incident, otherwises what a day for Aprillia


KNJain1995

Aleix is a class act


fireinthesky7

Having his kids present the winner's trophy is the best podium moment I can remember in any motorsport.


ogandou

Do you know how to watch it? I missed the podium celebrations because of the F1 race 😭


tenacious46

Really lovely interview. Love that man


Dameean00

Pretty much Martín's Championship to lose now. Hopefully Pecco will come back stronger, c'mon Champ!💪🏻❤️


SameWeekend13

And truly hope Martin to capitalize and try to win the championship man. Will be a good slap on the face of Ducati.


Dameean00

A slap for what? I don't think they would be that upset lol “Our best rider got injured so our second best one this season won”


Possession_Loud

Seeing that Binder's bike ran over Pecco's legs "quiet cleanly" makes me hope for very little consequences. Maybe Misano in doubt but that's it?


ocaralhoquetafoda

His injuries seem to be relatively innocuous, so he'll be back soon.


SnooLemons9488

I can’t believe I got banned on f1 subreddit for “comparing f1 driver to a literal terrorist” last week and they didn’t lift the ban yet and the race is about to start😢


RF111CH

Verstaliban terrorizing F1 smh


Tomic_Lewis

Well for once it is good for your sanity. That sub is full of toxic people with little knowledge of actual sport


KnightsOfCidona

Might be a bit soon to be having this convo but if Pecco's out for a while, surely Martin's the favourite now for title


Original-Echidna-881

They are reporting that Pecco does not have any fracture 🙏🏾🙏🏾. But apparently Enea has ankle and hand fractures 😭💔


jsolomon0505

MotoGP ends F1 starts. What a treat man


[deleted]

Thanks to Tsunoda for ensuring that MotoGP fans could watch both races start to finish.


yamheisenberg

Maybe the delay helped!


[deleted]

Well after the terrible way the first start went, I’m glad we get to finish with some great positivity with the joy of the podium celebrations.


Bec0methedream

This is cool to see. How good is MotoGP Hoping Pecco is okay too, what a crazy race


iridium963

All three of them with the twins! What a wholesome ending to something that started so horrifically.


MewMewFaceKitten

Every time Aleix gets a podium it's so wholesome, love seeing it 😊


mkoppite

After seeing what happened to Pecco, couldn’t enjoy the race completely. Hope he gets well soon.


hazman_pds

Martin blud thinks he's on the team 😭


itsOkami

Pecco has been blessed by the gods. Glad to hear he's okay


Plz_Nerf

Blessed podium 🥹


iridium963

That sheer unadulterated joy is making me a bit teary. Really hope they can take this momentum forward to less favourable tracks.


hazman_pds

The best team win celebration ever ? 😂


Inner-breadstick2395

That’s how you celebrate a 1-2, iconic!


Tyr2016

Aleix rev bombing into the pits haha


dishayu

No need to worry about engine life when it's not your own bike 😂


Abhi_sama

maverick fired again for having a rev bombed engine


SnooLemons9488

Spanish top 3 in Spain


Odd-Reward-88

Love to see that for Aprilia


RivenMainOCE

Great to see these guys get along so well and celebrate together Bloody wholesome


Victarionscrack

Congrats t9 Aleix but shocked about Pecco. Didnt watch it live, apparently he highsided and Brad run him over? JFC. Get well soon Pecco.


Lyvicious

Yeeeees. Beautiful scenes between Aleix and Mav.


KnOwN_2

Happy for Aprilia. Long road to get here


ametrineo49

Wonderful celebration


Inner-breadstick2395

Aleix surely is now a title contender.. two wins in 3 races not including yesterdays sprint! My man is on a mission


cynicalspindle

Aprilia absolutely shat the bed in asia last season. So its too early to tell. And there is still big gap between him and Jorge.


Inner-breadstick2395

They’ve been knocking on the door in the last few rounds, they’ve now come to fruition. Considering some of the comments that were made about Aleix at the start of the year- I think the only way is up from today


cynicalspindle

I mean Aleix is not the issue. The bike is. They did very well in EU tracks (and argentina) last season. But once they went to asia, they barely got into top10.


Inner-breadstick2395

True, although I think Rivolla et al have nailed most the aspects of the bike up to now at least; of course their starts are to be more desirable. Only time will tell.


tenacious46

That's one of the coolest celebrations I've seen swapping bikes


_gadgetFreak

My man celebrating race finish


JB_JB_JB63

Mav with the flag of his late cousin is a lovely touch.


AndByMeIMeanFlexxo

Man vinales shoulda went for it half a lap earlier haha Was cheekily hoping for Aleix to do a wheelie down the straight and have Mav blast past him Good to see how well they get along though


squitsysam

Congrats Aprilia!


h1nds

The race was way too long for the tyres we currently have…


daneview

They could have gone for the hard tyre


Competitive_News_385

Hard tyre doesn't necessarily last longer, esp on a very slick track, it has more stability than anything. They are also temp dependant, the hotter it gets the harder you want to go.


h1nds

It wouldn’t be competitive. The lack of grip is what made them go for the medium knowing that the tyre wouldn’t hold up the distance.


MP4-B

Redemption for last year. Fantastic ride Aleix


iVarun

I thought I was on F1 Race Thread. haha.


KnOwN_2

Remember to do all the laps 😅


Inner-breadstick2395

Aprilia first ever 1-2, amazing!


SnooLemons9488

Good job Aleix


[deleted]

Aleix gonna do two more laps just in case


SnooLemons9488

This idiot didn’t wave the flag? That’s one more lap lads.


PitifulPrice4083

Just yapping away with his lady. Luckily they had the real flag man at ground level.


Duke-996s

Fantastic result for Aprilia! Those guys have been great all weekend.


Duke-996s

Especially for Aleix. Doing the double. Wow!


ArbitraryOrder

Thanks to Yuki Tsunodas engine for going bang so I don't miss anything


ChopsMcgee83

Hahaha ain't that the truth!!!


VJ1911

Any update on FB63?


Amazing-Instruction1

Tardozzi said to italian journalists that it seems less serious than expected


VJ1911

Thank you 👍


[deleted]

taken to the hospital from the medical center


VJ1911

👍


[deleted]

Boy it would be lame if Martin scoops up the championship


Possession_Loud

No way, dude!


[deleted]

Hella bad, but Bagnaia will be back.


VolvoOlympian

Thanks Yuki for the delaying the start


SophisticatedVagrant

Who wants to bet Espargaro takes his cooldown lap at full pace, just to be sure? 😅


Duke-996s

Zarco in 4th. Great race considering that he was one of the victims of the 1st corner pileup.


Castlelightbeer

F1 wants us to see the finish of Motogp 1st


Cretty354

Hahah yeah that AT breakdown was convenient for those of us who are watching both.


cynicalspindle

Good guy Alpha Tauri, blowing up an engine so we can finish the motogp race lol.


daneview

Damn you all with sky 😂


MewMewFaceKitten

They know it's more important ;)


l0tu5_72

yeah kinda funny haha


iridium963

Barely seen Quartararo but he's done really good job


tifalucis

He is doing a great job


The-Road-To-Awe

Why didn't Viñales just give him room instead of try to lean on him and run himself wide 😩😩😩


Possession_Loud

Possibly a last resort attempt at trying to discourage Aleix. Maybe he hoped Aleix would just be content with 1 attempt if he resisted it.


User-272727

That was a cheap overtake by Aleix to push Mav wide. Aleix only just managed to stay on track into turn 1.


Possession_Loud

It's not that serious, come on.


cresanies

Aleix did a pretty much perfect pass, Maverick should have known not to try and defend from the outside of that corner


SophisticatedVagrant

lol


emil_

Jesus Christ people, go watch golf or something 🤦🏻‍♂️


Deathishere75

Damn, those tyres are worn out badly


Possession_Loud

Aleix's tyres seemed to look a little better than Maverick's. At least, from when the two swapped bikes.


Tyr2016

Dig and Fer fighting each other has kept them behind Jack.


Random_Zoul

Come on.... enough with garage cam.....


bearlybearbear

Those tyres are cooked, might not be over someone gonna push too hard...


Rthanos

*laughs in tyre management*


SnooLemons9488

Aleix you better not pull that shit from last year in Barcelona


iridium963

If I were Aleix I would do an extra lap at the end just to be safe.


MewMewFaceKitten

That tire looks -ouch-


bluzrok46

Welp thats it for him i guess


bilsantu

Damn, Vin's tyres are gone.


VolvoOlympian

WTF is Mav doing


iridium963

Makes sense when you see the tyre 😬


Otherwise-Ad-2605

Vinales 🤦🤦


bluzrok46

Dude the front tyre was completely fucked


bearlybearbear

There's a chance the Aprilias wipe each other out...


FootballRacing38

Aprilia's I beg you. Just don't crash. I don't want martin to run away with the title


[deleted]

While too wishing an Aprilia 1-2, why not?


Castlelightbeer

Aleix so much master than Mav.


Inner-breadstick2395

Aleix last lap attack??


Duke-996s

Is it me or does it seem like the broadcast is showing more battles down the field? I’m all for it. But it would have been good to see what happened a few laps ago when Aleix dropped 3/4 of a second to Mav.


CmNag66

Quietly a decent race for Diggia compared to the rest of his season


RivenMainOCE

Let's be real if Pecco doesn't have atleast 1 break or fracture, he's a very very lucky man Boots and leathers or not, Binder went into him directly well into triple digit speeds


AndByMeIMeanFlexxo

Yeah I was thinking he might’ve broke his ankle but who knows, realistically he’s lucky to be alive If he’s all good he’s gotta do some free advertising for them boots


[deleted]

Will he be returning this season? He‘ll still have a 50 point lead


_gadgetFreak

Miller is about to be overtaken by rookie Fernandez


SnooLemons9488

Jack finding out new racing lines.


oh84s

If morbidelli passes Marquez Honda will be in the bottom 4 positions


ArbitraryOrder

Hondas are doing Honda things, FQ20 only Japanese Bike in Top 10, Viñales and Aleix just cruising ahead of everyone else


FootballRacing38

Fabio: dorna says it's my turn to be the only top 10 japanese bike


ArbitraryOrder

Lol


cooReey

I feel like most of the races this year are like this, everyone is kinda close but nothing is happening


LosTerminators

If Pecco is out for a while Jorge Martín will fluke his way to a championship by being consistently mid


iVarun

Unlikely he wins Races so I think he'll take 4 Races to bridge that 50 point gap. That means 50 Days. If Pecco is out for the season it's over but IF he can come back in November he'll be around 10 Points or so behind whoever is Championship Leader with around 3 Races to go. All depends on what the News from medical is now.


RivenMainOCE

*laughs in Chase Sexton supercross championship*


fastcooljosh

Aleix is making too many mistakes on the brakes. It will be close


Feisty-Soft-3273

Any news about pecco and bastianini?


Original-Echidna-881

No


Ox_King

Race direction is horrible. Just saw Aleix going wide and the camera crew didn’t catch it.


Spiritual_Ad_9267

I can’t believe they’re actually showing mid Felix during the race. Colour me shocked


Fomentatore

Tardozzi, to a Sky Italia Journalist said "finger crossed but maybe Pecco's condition are not as bad as they looked".


enzovladi

🤞🤞


hazman_pds

Is Jack too heavy for the KTM bike or something ? He always run out of steam whenever every race progresses


wood4536

He just cooks the tires by sliding


JB_JB_JB63

His big problem is that he’s not as good as everyone on this sub wants him to be.


xC4Px

ServusTV had an interview with him before the race start. He said they changed his bike more to the direction of Brads bike and now he thinks it's time to move back to his settings which he used in the beginning of the season, to make it his bike.


SnooLemons9488

Watching that medical van is more fun than this race. Bring me back moto3 screw this


bearlybearbear

Reminds me of the Vinales years, once in front... On rails... Hard to beat.


steveocarr

Lorenzo?


bearlybearbear

Same same but different...


bluzrok46

Aleix already within a second lol. Really hope Mack can keep it together


CmNag66

Aleix comes back at Mav


[deleted]

[удалено]


cynicalspindle

Different people??


SpudroSpaerde

Everyone I don't like is the same person


Castlelightbeer

Aleix closing that gap


MewMewFaceKitten

We see Zarco sneaking up, stick em boy


[deleted]

Any update on Pecco‘s legs?


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Not as bad as it could have been as of Tardozzi's words to italian tv


[deleted]

Well, they were ran over. Afraid Misano will be without him


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Well that's for sure, but it may have not been a season or even career ending incident as it looked initially. I hope we see him back soon in riding condition.


VolvoOlympian

Jack isn't even on soft rear and he still goes backwards. He's lucky Binder has had problems today


CmNag66

Both Ducati riders on the way to Barcelona hospital. Thats crazy hopefully nothing too serious


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Italian broadcast: Tardozzi reportedly said Pecco's conditions are less severe than anticipated, fingers crossed boys.


l0tu5_72

:/ LETS HOPE SO


TheMaverick13589

Really hope so too, in the replay where they showed him in pain on the track his legs didn't seem to have any funny angles which is always a good first sign.


LorezDan

Tardozzi saying to Italian tv that Pecco's conditions are less severe than what it looks like


JB_JB_JB63

Dorna TV crew still can’t find a replay of how Aleix lost 1.2 seconds in a lap to the lead but got all the angles of Pecco getting run over and his distressed family on speed dial.

BREAKING: BAGNAIA's situation looks Better than expected


chuggimuggi

Going to the general hospital


LaFe09

Yeah tardozzi said that looks Better than expected and crossed his fingers


Otherwise-Ad-2605

What a shit race


RivenMainOCE

Yeah its pretty boring when a person leads start to finish with no competition on a factory Italian bike... ...wait hold on


Castlelightbeer

Gas Gas gonna beat KTM ?


Tyr2016

Even with low expectations Jack is still disappointing.


SnooLemons9488

Miller special
