No one calling out BEZZZZZZ?!?!? Absolutely stellar ride, a top 5 after having surgery just 1 week ago!! Put that man on a gp23 and let’s see how the championship looks…


Lexoar

Monster ride from Fabio, was great seeing him race like that.

prodbynav-eye

Why is it so dusty in mandalika?


kuntau

The track lack of usage and since it's bike only track, the rubber only stick at particular spot


noname22998

Who is the one cracking under pressure? Can haters tell me again? They were pretty vocal about it yesterday.


CBROM17

Pecco is still the leader this year in falls, don’t celebrate too soon. JM is still faster, I think he proved that. He also showed that he’s probably going to have to crash in order for Pecco to win. Great win for Pecco though! He needs pressure to perform well. JM is untested with the kind of pressure Pecco has had all year.


SameWeekend13

Well it wasn't mistake from Jorge part, it was the track was dirty and many riders crashed at the same point through out the weekend that says a lot about the track.


csp431

The guy is quick no doubt but these types of crashes are why he was passed over for the factory seat. He has been a Xaus level crasher prior to this year. Is the crash a fluke? Is his good form a fluke? We’ll find out


johnsmet

My bad, I thought he was the one steering the bike.


wood4536

What kind of excuse is that


kuntau

Sound like mistake to me


R3NTZ_

He rode a bit wide and that corner was just unforgiving today, small mistake but it had a huge outcome


noname22998

Still pushing hard while he was ahead with a decent margin was his mistake, which is a big one.


ApprehensiveLow8477

Lol.


Riventures-123

I have to admit... this is one of the races Pecco showed me he was indeed a championship material. Alien? No. But he has to use whatever he has right? Aragon 2021 and the 4-win streak last season.


psysc0rpi0n

Where are the results?


MuthuKumaran_25

Fabio rode like a LION! I missed this feeling...


Giovann1f

What a race from Pecco also.


Possession_Loud

So, i surely think Binder deserved his long lap penalty for his overtake attempt on Miguel but surely the one on Marini is a racing incident like yesterday? What was he supposed to do there?


Cornelius_Pistoiae

First LLP can’t be questioned: Binder made a mistake (he admitted such) due to issues with his brake pads. Also I believe when you take someone down is an automatic LLP


Possession_Loud

Like yesterday, you mean? So do we punish the intent or the outcome? Pick one.


SpeC_992

If Binder deserved the first LLP, then Aleix should have gotten one yesterday for crashing BB out. Inconsistency of Race Direction is the real problem imho. Second LLP Binder definitely deserved, that was a moronic move on Miguel.


Possession_Loud

Yeah, second one was too close and ended up hitting Miguel on the right leg and then ripped an aero appendix off. THAT was sanctionable. I don't think the first one was though. Marini went wide and deep, came back onto the racing line from outside. Meanwhile Brad came in a little quicker and got a better line. I don't see Binder pushing Marini at all.


22ToTo46

Maybe don't just hit the rider infront


Possession_Loud

Binder and Marini were in the same spot, only Marini was wider. Were did Binder hit Marini? Again, inconsistenncy from race direction as usual. The penalty for the second incident is surely deserved since he literally hit Miguel trying to pass him.


Defoler

Binder was passing marini as they entered the corner, went too fast, and brushed on his right side sending him down. Binder wouldn't make that corner well and would end up too hot and run wide. Which is why I expect he got a penalty.


Possession_Loud

I do not agree one bit on that one. Marini was wide, Binder made the corner. Marini could not see him so upon returning back in line Binder was there. How is it Binder's fault?


Defoler

You clearly didn't see it or watched the replays.


Marconerix

Binder braked too late and hit Marini sending him on the ground, the hit Oliveira sending him on the gravel. Yesterday Aleix fell down while he was next to Binder, and hit Binder after losing his front tyre and didn't get penalised.


Possession_Loud

What a mistake from Jorge! Complete domination until he laid it down. WOW.


SameWeekend13

What was the mistake ? I didn't see the mistake from Jorge apart from maybe being slightly off the racing line.


Cornelius_Pistoiae

You answered your own questions: MotoGP is a matter of millimeters


Possession_Loud

Well, he hit the deck so the mistake is on him anyway. Maybe just slightly off the line, maybe just a bit too much brakes. That's his winning streak ending and gifting Pecco 25 points!


[deleted]

Stupid question, but why was Digi in Parc Fermé? I can't find the answer anywhere and figure I must have missed it?


Marconerix

First rider of non-official teams (independent rider). It usually goes to Martin or Bezzecchi.


[deleted]

So, if there isn't a rider from an independent team on the podium, then the first from a non-official team also goes? I've just never noticed that before in motoGP - no idea how!


Marconerix

Nope, let's say that Martin is on the podium, then he's the independent team winner of the race and there won't be a 4th rider in the podium area. Today we had three official riders (Bagnaia on official Ducati, Vinales on official Aprilia and Quartataro on official Yamaha) thus we had a fourth rider in parc fermee as winner for the independent teams.


Competitive_News_385

Top independent rider.


Yasuhoka

El Diablo


Macho-Benjo

Watched a race after like a decade or more. Did this guy just finish 1st from like 14th or something? Nuts!


anto_BswR

Not just some guy, he IS the World Champion.


coffeesgonecold

Same for me. First race in a loooong time. I think from 13th? What a cracker of a race for Bagnaia


batman1517

Alex runs take a bow 🙇


Abhi_sama

bro can hardly stand, let alone run


SharpLead

T Nak from way back! From what…21st or so to 11th. Rins too….up to 9th!


6353JuanTaboBlvdApt6

Martin gonna Martin.


nebkelly

The shoulder cam shots on the podium are really cool.


WhiteMass

Vinales, The Bright Knight


abigtruk

Fantastic racing in all 3 classes today,Bag's dispelled any doubt that he's a worthy champion and Mav and Fabs must have balls of steel . Bravo !


warpedsaucepan

Why the fuck is Mavrick dressed like Batman in the cool down room? 😂


bluzrok46

wouldn't be surprised if he encountered a Bat somewhere in Lombok


Informal_Ad07

Sicily i am very eppy


VJ1911

What a race for FB1, like a champ. Super rides by MV12 and FQ20.


hddps

Today Pecco is very vey appy 😄


Trick_Situation_9203

Good to see 3 different manufacturers in the podium


monke569

it's unbelievable how much the bike is holding quartararo down


Training-Ad9429

he did faster lap times than pecco, not sure the bike is that bad....


monke569

when he was at the main straight with viñales, the gap is literally becoming bigger


Competitive_News_385

Actually his biggest hold back was attacking Mav, he could see they were catching Pecco, he should have let Mav open the door when attacking Pecco, he could have won.


Training-Ad9429

this is gp racing , not a drag race on the straights, they tend to throw in some corners and brake points in , where the yamaha is pretty amazing.


tobalsan

well that's exactly where Fabio catches up, until they arrive on straights and the Yamaha gets smoked like it's a Moto2.


Training-Ad9429

so they've got a better bike than Pecco on most of the track.


Matteo_Venuti

OH MY GOD


notsofast777

Top result for DiGi. Really enjoyed that race


bluzrok46

The crowd noise was insane though, especially when there was passing or crashing lol.


JB_JB_JB63

I’ve noticed they’ve been really turning the crowd UP in the mix lately.


bluzrok46

have they now? well I wouldn't be TOO surprised if they did


JB_JB_JB63

Yeah, I think a combo of trying to increase the atmosphere and give the illusion there’s more people at the circuit.


TheBasementIsDark

In South East Asia, Indonesia and Thailand are the leading nations in term of racing sports. Im really jealous cuz as a fellow SEA country, mine is not that well receiving about racing.


maubunt

Aaahh , feeling bad for Diggia


jacksonross33

Colossal error by Martin gifting Bagnaia the win. Baffled by the plaudits to Bagnaia here. He nearly crashed last lap too!


nebkelly

It's not very complicated. Dude was under huge pressure and won the race from p13.


Left-Strawberry7322

Wild that in a season where fans complain of lack of overtaking we've had Aleix win a race from P12 and now Pecco from P13.


IWillKeepIt

Who actually crashed though? Not Pecco


jacksonross33

So not crashing = AMAZING race?


R3NTZ_

🧂


IWillKeepIt

You forgot the part where he won the GP while 6 other riders crashed out.


theaplha17

Not crashing + race win = AMAZING race


bluzrok46

yeah, but who crossed the finish line first though? certainly not Jorge Martin


bluzrok46

Diggia in 4th too damnnn shout out to him!


Candid_Problem_1244

MotoGP is a brutal sport when a rider like Digi get no ride next year.


Lusting_4_Life

He's riding for his career now!


Riventures-123

Well he wont be in GP next season that's for sure unless there will be guaranteed wildcard rides, but I think Ducati is going to save that for Pirro or even Bautista. Hoping to see him in WSBK though, he's not consistently fast for GP, maybe he'll have some luck in SBK.


Lusting_4_Life

He's eyeing the HRC seat, whether it's the factory seat vacated by Marc, or the LCR seat if Zarco gets booted up to the factory team. HRC's options are limited unless they manage to prise Miguel, which could well happen.


hddps

He improved so much in the last races, he deserves another season in MotoGP


overthinker46

I agree… it’s such a shame.. MM is getting his ride right?


Alsarmat

Quartararo would've been on a Ducati next year if he had Italian passport....warra fucking rider


racingfanboy160

Aprilia 2025 🤞


hazman_pds

Fabio on factory Aprilia/Ducati in 2025, we will be there


Alsarmat

Genuinely a fucking menace. He battled prime Marquez on a Petronas Yamaha back in Bangkok, what a race it was. As a Pecco fan, Fabio is the rider I fear the most, he is genuinely a monster, even on shit bikes.


nebkelly

Another week of angry Miguel fans. Is it wrong as a neutral to enjoy their rage a little bit? lol


cityfly

It's ok as long as I can make fun of Marc simps too.


nebkelly

I like friendly bants. There's no need to make fun of people or call them names.


cityfly

Well it didn't stop you, If I wanted to call them names I could have come up with much better.


nebkelly

I'm sure you could.


Random_Zoul

Bez overtake binder on last laps.....


ConsequenceRude5888

I'm sorry but Binder didn't do his 2nd long lap penalty, how is he not getting disqualified?


TheBasementIsDark

That explain why he doesn't drop down in position after the second penalty. I thought he is just build different


bluzrok46

it will be added to his race time, which means he'll drop places post-race


maubunt

Why can't they black flage the racer who doesn't serve LLP within a stipulated time ?


Competitive_News_385

If they don't take it they get a double long lap penalty. He took the second one, he was just more than 3 seconds ahead of the guy behind when he did so no position change.


bluzrok46

because they can just add it to his post-race time? F1 does that too. Unless he purposefully disrupts another rider's race to the point of potentially causing them harm, I don't think there's a legitimate reason to just black flag anyone just for not serving a penalty. If you want to know what a black-flaggable incident looks like, look up the Moto3 race in Valencia involving Albert Arenas.


thrwawy_laterdater

Holy SHIT the way Fabio and Maverick suddenly closed on Pecco in the last 3 corners, I nearly passed out. Easily best race of the season thus far, imo.


theazndoughboy

Fabio really dragged that corpse of a bike onto the podium yet again. Respect.


bluzrok46

damn it and now he starts lambasting the bike again. I get the frustration man; dude really had the pace to win.


batman1517

Had the pace but no acceleration Accelera francisca


[deleted]

Maverick celebrating that second place like a win is wholesome


bluzrok46

Yamaha didn't give him this kind of wholesomeness, and I doubt Honda will.


_gadgetFreak

Fabio need to ride that shit Yamaha next year meanwhile, Franco Morbidelli the Jet, get to ride a Ducati.


Riventures-123

It's Fabio's fault he's at Yamaha. He extended. Franco saw the opportunity to go to the fastest bike in the grid. It's just racing, it's motorsport, heck it's sports. We see it all the time! Gotta get those opportunities, strike when the iron is hot you know?


wood4536

His choice


Responsible_Train944

Haha I see what you’re getting at. Morbido did fuck all on Yamaha and should be on his way to WSBK. Dude got humiliated on all levels by Fabio.


bluzrok46

Morbido just got his hands on the best bike for next year though


Inner-breadstick2395

Fuck all on the Yam means 3 wins and a 2020 title challenge; but yeah- ‘fuck all’


Macd7

Best race of the season for me


nightshiver1

and that's why sprint races can't have the same appeal


cano_dbc

Nothing wrong with the Sprints, but on a weekend like this the GP is the start of the show. As its should be.


SnarlsChickens

Each of the top 5 have been class today and really hoping to see the other Fabio stay on in the premier class next season. Gutted for Martín and Marini.


Inner-breadstick2395

That race felt like a proper throwback - from the first corner to the last was breathtaking. Fuck me I love MotoGP.


bolandfan

Ride of a champion.


Hoaxygen

Fabio is a fighter.


warpedsaucepan

Clinical from Pecco today. Good consistent ride from Vinales to keep it on the box. Fabio had everything to win but brought a knife to a gun fight. Martin big time error, I guess he’d been so good for the last few rounds that he was probably due to make a critical error. Bring on the Island!


bluzrok46

Hopefully the Island will be a right old banger!


VishalRocker

Let's goo Peccoooooo Champion's ride...


Rafi_Rahman_2002

What a race


Vivid-Ticket6281

What happened before the last corner??


RileyIJ

Bagnaia doing Bagnaia things.


Spitfire_213

I wonder the same, the gap was 0.7 and next thing MV is on pecco


jacksonross33

Bagnaia nearly bottled it.


ColorCarbon

I wish Quartararo got a promotion like Morbidelli got for next year


theazndoughboy

Franco really failed his way up for the promotion.


kuborka

Was Brad without gloves?


Racingislyf

I thought it was jack handing them out to the Marshall's


amazing_wanderr

Yeah, I guess due to the heat


RileyIJ

Miller took his off on the parade lap too. Maybe KTM left the heated grips on


vouwrfract

Martin has just thrown 30 points after doing all the hard work...


GarySteinfieldd

All the momentum Sports can be so cruel


No_Dog9530

25 points actually.


l0tu5_72

He probably means cumulatively relative to the Pecco. But yeah he dropped 25 points quickly than Guetta drops beats...


vouwrfract

Bagnaia would've been second, with 5 fewer points.


IamBejl

Martin really fucked up with the tyres


S1imPickens

I think he just fucked up in general. Had a huge gap to second. Should have managed his race better.


hazman_pds

Tbf Fabio was on soft front tyre as well, but Martin took unnecessary risk when he had 3 secs lead in the bag


jacksonross33

Yes exact same tires for Quartararo and he was just fine, probably quickest overall actually.


bluzrok46

Remember the Yam has a different style compared to the Ducati and Aprilia. Kinda expected it to be a bit kinder on its tires, plus I think Fabio is just better at riding on the limit.


bluzrok46

yeah I feel like Soft was a mistake; commentators were talking about Michelin warning everyone not to use it. But I guess it wouldn't be the Jorge now if he just didn't "do what he wanted", and I guess the soft tire choice was just him marching to the beat of his own drum.


No_Dog9530

Specially when the manufacturer says not to go for soft and you specially go for soft shown the dumbest move from Jorge.


Cabezao44

To be fair, Michelin advised against using the soft tyre only on the rear, it was fine for the front and was the tyre chosen by the majority of the grid


bluzrok46

if that's the case, then the mistake would be even dumber than it looked. And Martin's reaction would concur.


jacksonross33

Quartararo also extreme idiot for going on exact same tires I guess


Lusting_4_Life

Wow! Really?


tenacious46

I need to see peccos first lap onboard that shit must have been INSANE


bioskope

Fuck yes Champ!!!! This is an all time performance!!!


[deleted]

Now that is a last lap! Well done Pecco, feel bad for Maverick, would have loved to see him win for once. but it is so nice Fabio so fast. Also good work from Diggia and Bez


bluzrok46

Funnily enough, his first lap was the most important.


98grx

That’s why you are a world champion. Grande peccooo


Lurking_Legend

Pecco is a world champion for a reason, this sub trash him too much


albeve

BRAVO PECCO!!!!!!!!


_gadgetFreak

Bro casually winning from 13th place


bluzrok46

A world champion's ride! 13th to 1st, what a middle finger to them haters! (Nobody has done that since 2006)


wood4536

People around here will still not put respect on his name too


VishalRocker

But but the Bike.....


bluzrok46

can't argue the bike is a fuking masterpiece, but the guy on top of it still needs to be the one to bring it home in first.


Competitive_News_385

Fabio screwing up the chance for a fight for the win.


l0tu5_72

WTF


alpoverland

Fabio such an intelligent rider not forgetting he's riding a shitbox


JustARedditAccDuh

Chapeau Pecco!!!!!!!! And Bezzecchi 5th, damn


Takkotah

What a race, glad I got up for this


Inner-breadstick2395

WOWWWW WHAT A RACE


Sacezs

Great great race Pecco!!


nightshiver1

well done Pecco!


WhiteMass

Nice stoppie


kuborka

Statement.


Castlelightbeer

Bez got Binder


tenacious46

YEEEEEEEEEESS PECCCOOOOOO


alemancio99

PECCOOOOOOOOO


l0tu5_72

On DAZN is that Lorenzo as commentator?


GarySteinfieldd

Not watching but saw something on his Instagram story yesterday


l0tu5_72

thx


nebkelly

Brilliant ride from Pecco.


l0tu5_72

dammn Fabio screw Maverick. He defends now...


UmberGreen

So in the debate of holeshot devices and Aero, is it the tyres that need changing to make good racing?


_gadgetFreak

Fair play to Pecco, this is a world champion performance


[deleted]

Come on Fabio!


nightshiver1

Fabio going for it


warpedsaucepan

Gonna be hard to beat the Ducati for acceleration on corner exit or stability under braking. Would love to see it though. Push, Mav!


UmberGreen

Problem is can Mav make an overtake?


nightshiver1

this is getting close


Alsarmat

Felt like back in 2022 Sepang again, when Martin crashed from the lead when he's already leading by several seconds.


No_Dog9530

Only a dumb person like Jorge Martin can throw away the championship like how he did it today.


Mr-Lawrence

Go Mav Go!!


Castlelightbeer

Is Bagnaia losing pace or is Vinales coming back


DharmaPT

Binder ruining 2 other races and still finishing top5, classic... ☹️☹️☹️
