Barcelona The Call of the 2024 Champion

[Fatfatboy]

Loos like it's going to be a tid bit nibbley for the race, Clark.



It should be dry with 5 mph winds.

It's a busy weekend with the Tyson vs Paul exposition fight Friday night and Barcelona Motogp to fill in the rest.

Ya agreed.  
Motogp….i mean…..ones gotta think Martin is a lock.
The bikes gotta blow up or a wreck, a big wreck has gotta happen for Martin not to get the number one.  
It’s an unkown.
But, a, how can one put it, a pure unknown.

The Tyson/Paul thing, it’s an exhibition.
The rounds are what, shortened to 2 minutes.
It’s 8 rounds.
With boxing, you have to be thinking, is a fix in or what?
Is this just another WWE pro wrestling event?
Why is one even interested?

Any way you look at it, agreed.
A good weekend coming up!

It does seem to be a hoax of sort but not real sure.
I’m curious if it will be another repeated Holyfield return. Although Tyson looks to be in better shape at 58 than Holyfield did at 58.

Harley’s joining Barcelona

I’d like to see that.

I hope there’s video !

If there is some out there I've not found it at 8:00 pm Barcelona time

On another note The Champion played it nice and cool. Played hard enough to be on the podium but not to hard to take chances.
There was great sportsmanship handles by all.
The battle for 4th was interesting.

Another year has past. Now the clock ticks for the next season.

Excellent.
I'm interested to see how this plays out.

Can you say Mugello? Le Mans? Phillip Island?

The Waterfall and then Sachsen Kurve?

Can the tires take those turns and even last over a decent race distance?

What can these evolved Road Glides do on GP Michelins?

So many questions...

Will they have to use Michelins?
They currently run Dunlops. Is there a GP contract that states that all GP bikes must run Michies?

I bet they shrink the bag size up to take the GP tracks curves. They already done a bit of scrapping on the American tracks.

Last I heard it cost about $12mill to run a GP team. Will HD and Indian factories be the only bikes in the race?

Will Honda bring out its Wing or Kawasaki and Yamaha bring out their baggers? Might be a race that the Japanese can actually win.

Of course you are correct !

Clear thinking on your part.
They run Pirellis in M2/3.
Perhaps Dunlop will come back into the GP circus for these bikes.
And I would love to see an open field.

Finally, a tidbit on the HD’s.
