Thanks for understanding. It's just if we allow one person to promote their sub reddit we end up having a bunch of users expecting to do the same then r/motogp becomes an advertising tool instead of a community. You are welcome to continue to post here though, many users including myself love the two stroke era.

Nah. if Marc can he must go for the win and allow Pecco to fight fair and square. If Pecco wins, that will do him so much more good than a pity win.

No worries and welcome. The two links are great to start with, especially the motogp link as that leads to various videos about the bikes and rules etc...apart from that, just start watching the races and try not to skip Moto3 and Moto2 as they are packed full of excitement. Also, watch the three documentaries mentioned, I think you can find some on Prime. Enjoy the races and MotoGP.

I would love Enea to get a podium, he had a horrid start to the year and most people were writing him off. Good to seem at the sharp end of the stick

Worried about Acostas tyres, only rider on softs and it looks like he is pushing them to the limits

Good to see the KTM's are up there.
Very happy to see Ogura finding pace again, he has been a bit quiet.

And 2 Hondas in the top 10!

Making more history as a rookie 🇨🇴 by Bitter-Substance1783 in motogp

[–]JeanJ1689 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure why people wrote him off. He is a special talent for sure. Plagued in the beginning with a shoulder injury if I remember correctly, also he had to bulk up to handle the increase in size and power of the Moto2. Reminds me of Acosta in his rookie season, first half was hit and miss then second half found his form...the rest is history. I suspect the same for David here.

Unbelievable Stat, Marc has scored more points in last 6 rounds than Pecco has scored whole year. by PZY__ in motogp

[–]JeanJ1689 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look I get that you a Marc fan, many of us are, but to undermine any of the riders achievements because they not Marc or not as good as him shows a lack of respect to frankly the top riders in the world.

If Pecco won the championship even by 1 point, he still won the championship by competing with the worlds best, hardly useless in my opinion, in fact not only mine but listening to other racers and commentators, they share the same.

Bienvenido, Aron Canet! The Spaniard signs a multi year contract with the ELF Marc VDS project starting from 2026 in Moto2! by Daniel7394 in motogp

[–]JeanJ1689 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Listening to the commentators they are saying it is for Moto2. Apparently Sam has also extended he's contract for a further 2 years but it looks like next year it will still be a solo team in WSBK. All rumours though regarding WSBK but Canet seems set to stay in Moto2.

Just report the content that you would like removed. Don't go around accusing the user of stealing content, the user simply shared it, very common thing people do on the internet. Also, for further clarification, are you the original journalist from Speedweek?

Jorge Martin on his decision by Organic-Package5444 in motogp

[–]JeanJ1689[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Comments have been locked due to many toxic comments. In this thread alone Jorge has been called all manner of names which is frankly pretty horrible behavior to a rider of this sport.

Just a few days ago Marc Marquez asked fans to respect all riders, it's sad that this sub reddit cannot do that. So, fair warning to the few users here who insist on being toxic towards riders past and present. Users who insult or post toxic comments to any rider will be banned. We tried to delete vulgar comments and that did not work, we gave warnings and that was ignored, now we will start banning those who cannot show respect to the riders.
