Title: MotoGP LeMans - well, that was awesome !!! :)
Post by: VladTepes on Monday, 21 May 2018, 12:46 PM
What a race! Some unexpected situations where a few riders laid down for a rest mid-race...

I didn't see Moto3 or 2 (not on FTA TV) but there was an epic incident in moto3, which I saw on faceache.

The last lap or 2 of Moto-3 was by far the best racing of the weekend.

Was it 10 Moto-3 bikes still in the front group towards the end ?

That take-off from going over a fallen bike was something else !


God bless my wife for putting Fox Sports on and paying the bill!  :notworthy:

It takes an incident like this before the BBC will report any bike racing on their sports results.  :angry:

Jack Miller had a good result, I'm hoping by mid season he is a regular podium contender.

Is it just me but I find Marcquez winning all the time boring to Watch? When Rossi was younger he was racing and battling all the time it was good to see - getting a bit like F1 for me  :bugga:

Marquez is just a champion, best well see. i love moto gp, not at all like the cars. just my opinion.

Don't like Marquee but his lowside save using elbow & knee was clever.

Just watched moto 3 wow
That save at the end from 6 feet high was amazing at 140+mph especially when landing in gravel it looked like it was going so wrong all the way untill it didn't.
hopefully the next 2 are as good.
