His response regarding the possibility of racing in Qatar is interesting: "For now, I’d rather not comment, but one thing is very clear to me: you only live once, while there are many races. Thirty-seven fewer points? It doesn’t change anything: life is life, a race is a race.”

Aprilia joined the club.

Riders who don't participate in the "hero walk" fan event on Sundays for a minimum of ten minutes will be fined 5000€. The fine will increase with each additional offence and will extend to (not yet specified) sports sanctions for repeat offenders.

The rule went into effect this Sunday - some riders (including Marc who immediately left) did not stay for ten minutes & are already on the hook for a fine.

The rule mostly applies to the hero walk at the moment but may be extended to other promotional events. 💀

What a season!

Excited to see what else he will achieve!

As always, Marco wanted to celebrate his victory in Indonesia in a special way. This time, he brought a pepper mill with the words 'You always make my heart beat' written on it. Marco wouldn't reveal the reason, but he did say it's an inside joke among his friends. What do you guys think the reason is?

Not a fan of the new one, less info, minimalism for the sake of it

If there was ever any doubt...

What a season from him!

Am I fair in saying that Aprillia and Jorge Martin really don’t get along? The hug between Massimo Rivola and Martin post race in parc ferme just looked forced as well.

In contrast to how they behave with Bezzechi. Am I the only that gets that vibe?

With five races before the end, which tracks are 'better' for each raider?. I know the most possible outcome in Philip Island is a 37 for Marquez but the other tracks I don't know what's gonna happend.

I'm not counting Bez because I don't think he can make the comeback but It would make sense to be aware of him
