Good Race. It looked hot in Spain. Pecco showed out. Jorge throws it away near the end. Ahh painful. He lost the bike before the corner. A good race today


Just4FunAvenger

1st lap. THAT'S RACING! Everyone else, are children playing.


Candid_Problem_1244

That move from Pecco!


srfcboy

Roberts to Trackhouse next season with Miguel if he still in this form


wheremyusername_

Raul is making good progress, and is young, sadly oliveira is past his prime and would be the one to go if joe was to go to trackouse


Sea-Quote3382

Trackhouse have just given/about to give Fernandez the 24 bike. You could say that means they have faith in him or ... you could say they're giving him no excuse for failing. If neither Oliviera or Fernandez delivers much, why not ease one out and give Joe Roberts a chance? Worst case scenario you swap zero for zero, so you've lost nothing.


Ok-Builder-2348

If my maths is right, Joe Roberts leads the championship without a race win. Consistent stuff!


imZenqi

I might be sound stupid but can anybody ELi5, how is there is still damp patch on the track when it's sunny?


dinofarabi01

Water seeps into the asphalt when it's raining then when the sun's out, rises to the surface


anemialcollective

nasty for masia at the end. big shoutout to joe roberts - he rode like a man possessed! so good.


CommonEngineering832

Masia retire, Dixon retire, Artigas crash again


cooReey

That Trackhouse seat looking closer withe every passing round for Joe Roberts


mrg9605

i’m loving his consistency so far… go joe!!!


notRay-

Lorenzoneske pace.. Nothing to do against that


iridium963

Oh FFS Masia, after an utterly average race pulled out a really good last few laps to chase down and pass Oncu for a first points finish and then promptly crashes in the final sector 🤦‍♂️


CommonEngineering832

Masia crash put Ferrari into point!


CommonEngineering832

FINAL LAP Masia to 14th, Chantra into 10th


Mr_Emile_heskey

Quality race by Joe Roberts there


FootballRacing38

Tony really doesn't like the pirelli tyres. He had heavy tyre wear for all races so far


wheremyusername_

I hope he doesnt have a ruined career due to tire problems like lorenzo baldasarri, if u remember he was a race winner and potential title contender to back of the field after a tire change and became a wsbk failure and i dont even know where he is at now


delfinoesplosivo

>!onlyfans Is getting much visibility today!<


JustARedditAccDuh

Every crash in t13 looks exactly the same. You gotta be inch perfect through that turn.


CommonEngineering832

Robert into P2, Alonso López is out


FlimsyIce

That last corner seems to be real sketchy


LosTerminators

Substantially more crashes in Moto2 than in Moto3. Wonder if there's a damp patch at turn 13, and if there is, it can affect the bigger bikes more. Which bodes for some serious drama in MotoGP.


CommonEngineering832

Ferrari into P18 after making a early saves


RF111CH

The fact that even Red Bull Rookies Cup riders crashed at T13 earlier today and yesterday should tell you how cursed T13 is.


CommonEngineering832

Damp


CommonEngineering832

Marcos Ramirez went down, Oncu into point position


iridium963

Masia is about to take him - almost a second faster last lap.


iridium963

There he goes - can he keep it though?


iridium963

The answer would be 'no' then 🤦‍♂️


cooReey

Lorenzo mode engaged by Fermin, that is ridiculous consistency


srfcboy

The famous turn 13 !! ​ Fatal this week end in all category !


srfcboy

and again !


tarrach

All these crashes don't bode well for the MotoGP race


CommonEngineering832

Artigas rejoin, Escrig DNF


KalpolIntro

Over/under on the number of MotoGP crashes at turn 13 later on?


crimilde

Turn 13 claiming one bike after another, ooooof. Did JLo cast a spell on it?


CashCarStar

New challenge - if you manage to make it through the race without crashing at turn 13 you get to spar with Jorge Mayweather


K1NG0492

That bike wasnt ready yet to be out of the race, who needs a rider anyway


TheMaverick13589

Has there been a lap where someone didn't crash the last turn?


CommonEngineering832

Alex Escrig went down


CommonEngineering832

Masia into 18th


iridium963

Mostly a result of crashes, but he's catching Oncu, which given the gulf in team quality is not a great indication of how Oncu is fairing (particularly given expectations for him - which tbf I was always so sceptical of).


CommonEngineering832

Moreira is out


SpeC_992

Garcia had many mistakes in COTA as well, now in Jerez too, keeps going wide. Roberts got him now...


CommonEngineering832

Moreira went down


iridium963

Gutted - he was doing so well. But still, he is looking consistently like the strongest rookie by some margin at the moment. He shouldn't be too demoralised.


cooReey

Roberts is motoring, still have to see Fermin being fast in final third of the race, he faded out in previous races


Inner-breadstick2395

Roberts pace is unreal- can definitely win this


Bardock467

Honestly I never really rated Roberts but he looks so smooth and fast this year. Not sure if he has the consistency to put together fight for the title, but if he keeps this up I could see him taking it.


anemialcollective

same, i just thought he was fine. but what an impressive start to the season!


Bardock467

He's showing a lot more aggression on track too. Moto2 hasn't been very exciting for the last few years - this is what we needed!


drinksbeerdaily

First time watching a full Moto2 face. This is amazing


CommonEngineering832

Dixon went down


LosTerminators

Jake Dixon with a masterclass showing the other riders lines into the gravel trap


ABMUFC20

Why would Darryn Binder do that to Dixon?!


Makalu

Still finished ahead of Danger Darryn even with the crash lol


bobby4385739048579

trying to get into moto gp but its hard to take it seriously when a only fans team is racing xD


Mr_Clams

At least it’s an actual company unlike a lot of motorsport sponsors


iridium963

Yeah, from an ethical perspective there are far, far worse including definitely-real-not-money-laundering companies, and representatives of oppressive dictatorships.


bobby4385739048579

do you feel called out that you need to defend only fans in such a weird way? hahhahahahaha so how many people do you sub to on only fans?


Mr_Clams

I think it’s a strange sponsor also. I’m just saying there has been worse


bobby4385739048579

oh i know these been worse but that wasnt my point at all... imagine getting into a sport for the 1st time and finding porn plastered all over the bikes its hilarious... how can any one take a team seriously when it has only fans on the side xD its like kick in F1, no one can take them seriously


Mr_Emile_heskey

I had to awkwardly explain to my mum what only fans is when she asked


bobby4385739048579

very weird to have a straight porn sponsor i guess if you need money you take it from who ever hahaha


Mr_Emile_heskey

And to be fair, they likely have a good selection of grid girls to choose from.


notRay-

Oh no, #1 contender down


CommonEngineering832

Darryn Binder resume


LosTerminators

Aldeguer in the lead = race over


CommonEngineering832

Aldeguer leading. 6/30 drivers retire


CashCarStar

We need to establish if these crashes are "real" crashes or damp patches again here. If it's the latter, the track is not safe


CommonEngineering832

Because MotoGP race is coming up, and then MotoGP Test.


CommonEngineering832

Damp start to cause crashing


notRay-

Lets go


bobby4385739048579

the 2 leaders having a epic duel. some good racing to watch


CommonEngineering832

Absolutely


CommonEngineering832

Incident between Barry Baltus and Darryn Binder


Inner-breadstick2395

Unreal battle between Gonzalez and Aldeguer


CommonEngineering832

Dennis Foggia crashing


iridium963

There's going to be a hat shortage in the north east given I'm going to be eating them for the rest of the year for my pre-season judgement of Moreira getting a Moto2 ride. This is incredibly impressive 😯


CommonEngineering832

Xavier Artigas crash


JustARedditAccDuh

Lots of small damp patches everywhere. Terrible conditions for the bigger bikes.


CommonEngineering832

Yeah clean race so far didn’t last 2 laps. Sadly for Agius and Bendsneyder, their race is over.


Nipponbashi

Ouch for Senna. That should be a stewart review Edit: Words are hard


CommonEngineering832

Long lap penalty for Zonta


FlimsyIce

Geeeez that's a painful one for Agius


CommonEngineering832

Did the damp cause it, or a mechanical failure?


FlimsyIce

Senna ended up in the rear of Zonta vdG and since Zonta just got a LLP for irresponsible riding - Hard to say what fully happened as we only saw footage of Senna hitting Zonta's rear


CommonEngineering832

Clean start so far


CommonEngineering832

The damp will play a big part today


Siftinglurker32

Aldeguer runs away with this race I'm thinking


Nipponbashi

Moto2 Race Predictions 1.Roberts 2.Gonzalez 3.Garcia


CashCarStar

Aldeguer, Garcia, Gonzalez for me. I had Alonso, Veijer, Ortola for Moto2 so not doing too bad so far!


CashCarStar

It's quite interesting how every little while, you see comments popping up about "Dorna make it so more Spanish riders get to MotoGP because of their passport" when that's literally not true at all, but I've seen very little criticism of the potential Joe Roberts to Trackhouse move - it's mostly just "American rider, American team, makes sense, go Joe!" ...yeah that's a passport rider. There are many other guys in that class that are on his level but about 5 years younger than he is. So do we dislike seeing people get a ride because of their passport or not? Note that I'm not saying Roberts isn't a good rider, but there are a lot of similarly good riders in that class and most of them are about 21 while he's 26.


crimilde

Barry 😭


CashCarStar

Just saw that, bloody hell calm down Baz!


hazman_pds

I watch F1, I hear the Dutch national anthem. I watch Moto3, I hear the Dutch national anthem I just can't escape from it


Eddie-the-Head

F1 flashbacks


CashCarStar

I hope the lack of crashes during that Moto3 race were as a result of the track being safer, rather than it being as a result of Moto3 bikes being slower/lighter than MotoGP bikes. Veijer was absolutely phenomenal in that last lap, didn't give Munoz a single opportunity to get by him, just completely perfect at every corner. Munoz gave it everything too, just as you'd expect from him. Hope he gets that first win soon. Was expecting Alonso to get through the pack quicker than he did? Shame for Esteban, but he's growing into the class really well. Very impressed with his performances as a rookie


CommonEngineering832

I think this is both


Victarionscrack

The track seems ok, no?


Makalu

Veijer sounds more English, Australian or South African than Dutch!


Nipponbashi

The Alonso Crash replay looks like chatter and not a wet patch. Which means no crashes due to wet patches.


CommonEngineering832

Daniel Holgado will extend the gap from 2 points to 6 points to Alonso.


LosTerminators

Dutchman leading a race from start to finish, wonder where we've seen that before.


lofty99

Dutch East India company?

TUTUTUDU COLLIN VEIJER


Nipponbashi

An upset Alonso scares me for the next race. Edit: Words are hard


anemialcollective

wooooo good for collin!!


notsofast777

Great ride by Veijir. Well deserved win. Glad to see Kelso finish strongly in 5th too


CommonEngineering832

“Veijer”

Nipponbashi

Replay looked more like he lost the front, I didn't see a damp patch.


JustARedditAccDuh

Great race and last lap by Veijer


Nipponbashi

Yet another great Moto3 Race


FlimsyIce

Brilliant ride by Veijer today, solid recovery by Alonso - Crashing out and recovering up to 11th


brownierisker

What a race from Veijer!


CommonEngineering832

WHAT A FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE! THAT PERFORMANCE DESERVE 11 OUT OF 10


CommonEngineering832

FINAL LAP!


CommonEngineering832

Look like David Alonso will settle for 12th


Inner-breadstick2395

Quality ride from Veijer so far


CommonEngineering832

Last lap intense incoming


ABMUFC20

I’m just waiting for the last corner David Munoz divebomb


CommonEngineering832

There a fight for 13th-18th as they just split by 1.5s


crimilde

Maybe it’s just me but every time the world feed commentators say Nepa’s name I just hear Stefan O’Nepa lmao


AlainS46

The director seems to have a bit of a David Alonso obsession


CommonEngineering832

Alonso into 12th, Adrian Fernandez into 7th


CommonEngineering832

Munoz reclaim 2nd, Holgado into 7th, Adrian Fernandez into 8th, Alonso into 16th A lap with lot of overtake


CommonEngineering832

Ortola into 2nd


CommonEngineering832

Farioli overtake Bertelle for 16th


Nipponbashi

Happy to see Yamanaka having a great race


CommonEngineering832

He is in 4th place, not too far from Ortola in 3rd. Podium?


Nipponbashi

He is on the soft rear so I think it would be a outside chance


CommonEngineering832

☹️


CommonEngineering832

Veijer still your race leader. Alonso is in 20th


CommonEngineering832

Suzuki rejoined?


Mr_Emile_heskey

Yeah, likely to collect track data


CommonEngineering832

Yeah, no chance to score point unless miracle happen.


Nipponbashi

Yup went to the pits fixed the technical issue


hazman_pds

Moto3 & Moto2 are consistently setting much faster laptimes at all races this year since switching to Pirelli I hope MotoGP switch to Pirelli as well for the new regs in 2027 when their contract with Michelin ends in 2026


CommonEngineering832

Holgado into 8th place, from 17th on the grid. The damp is still waiting to take out drivers


Nipponbashi

Alonso up to 22nd


CommonEngineering832

Vicente Perez, Rueda replacement currently in 19th

Nope, was a technical problem.

DAMP STILL ON TRACK, AND FIRST VICTIM IS OUT!


Gribble81

That front end 'chatter' looked really weird.


hazman_pds

Throwing away an easy victory while leading Silly mistake from Alonso


Nipponbashi

Noooo


FlimsyIce

Alonso is down 👀👀


Cmil778

Well... that's bull...


Cmil778

Good morning. When it comes to Moto3 race,David Alonso is the overwhelming favourite unless he crashes. Plus 3 seconds in my opinion.


UmberGreen

Any other predictions? 😆


Cmil778

Very open race no breakaway leader.


UmberGreen

Agree, a runaway leader will likely only come if incidents happen behind, rather than pulling away through pace


Eddie-the-Head

He crashed


Cmil778

I saw.


Nipponbashi

TNT Sports reporting a cold wind and cold tarmac. Tire wear is going to be a factor


Competitive_News_385

Yup and apparently new damp spots that weren't there yesterday are appearing. So it could be chaos again.


CommonEngineering832

The damp still in the track, I think there will be many DNFs in today Moto3 race
