Qatar Lusail International

[Fatfatboy]

Qatar MotoGP is coming up this weekend and Jorge Martin is finally going to get a chance to get some track time on the Aprilia.
Question is, should he treat this race as just a test to spend time to get to know the bike, if he can keep the adrenaline at bay, or should he shoot for it.

Marc is going to be hard to beat this year it seams so I would I would hate to see him get into a battle with the Marquez brother and screw his wrist up and be out for a long while or never get full capacity.

I am really looking forward to a marc and Jorge battle. MotoGP 2025 could use it.

Oh man thanks
The Qatar round snuck up on me!

Good question - aim for a top-10 finish.
Martín can’t be on top after Valencia if he prangs himself again. Stay upright, earn some points, get in a fun groove… maybe there’s a Colin Edwards 2002-style comeback lurking in the late-season wings…

What Martin needs to do…..pull up next to MM and kick him with his foot, when Bagnai tries to pass he needs to reach over and grab his front brake lever, then run Alex completely wide off the track and into the gravel.

For the next 4 or 5 races in a row.

“Team Jeff Gillooly/Romano Fenati report to race control immediately.”

That's funny Grado. Sure would make for some interesting conversations on the FB site.

Martin still has the lean but finished way back in FP 1

Quart’ showed some nice form.

A lot of rubbin' and passin' and sendin' it and whatnot.. and that Martín sure has that ground magnet settin' on high...

Viñales/KTM  - MotoGP puts the boot in.

Ground magnet, I wonder if Miller has one.
I gotta say, that was the best race this season.
KTM and Yamaha up there and Morbideli showing he can play,,,, for a while. Brother Alex giving it to older brother.
Now if only if Martin could get it together there just might be a battle royal.
