I don't want that guy anywhere near MotoGP.

Aleix to HRC now official. Man I would love to know what went down at Aprilia. Both he and Mav jumping ship is truly weird.

Why?

The Doctor is practicing his doctor’s skills, baby girl on the way. I guess it is MotoGp right?

Tough way to start the weekend. Aleix is ruled out already, Marquez broke his finger and possibly some ribs.lots of crashes today.

Aleix Espargaro withdraws from German GP

The Aprilia rider attempted to participate, but couldn’t fight through the pain barrier

Marc Marquez “not worried about finger fracture, ribs bothering me the most”

Marc Marquez diagnosed with a fracture to his left index finger as well as a 'big bruise' in his ribcage after Sachsenring highside.

Maybe crash.net will rename their site making it MarquezCrash.net. If I was the guy paying him and he wasn’t frequently on top of the podium, I’d be pissed.

Been a few large crashes so far this weekend... pretty much all the riders sound nervous as hell 'skating' around the ring.
Pecco had a track limits warning fairly early onto the race, Martins pass on him for first place superb and eventually off he went

Sprint race was almost 3secs faster than last years !!

Good work Olivera and Trackhouse picking up their first sprint podium medal

I watched the Sprint race today and they showed MMs crash over and over. The only reason he high sided was because he never let go of the grips after his low side. He must’ve been trying to do another one of his ‘saves’ where he hangs on and weights the outside peg in an attempt to upright his bike. I’ve seen him do it before but not this time. Had he just accepted his low side his bike would not have been so busted up and neither would he.

Man if Gresini ever gets Marquez Qualifying issues (Bradls' moronic riding aside) sorted the front runners would be in real trouble! Another 13th to 2nd effort with all his injuries,a busted windshield and inflated airbag, dude is just built different. Martin is going to need counseling after that race. Can't imagine his mindset after that one. He's making it look easy for Pecco now.

And Marini is gifted his First point on the Honda due to 3 other riders Tire Pressure infringements. I am sure Honda will right the ship eventually, I just don't think he is the guy to do it. Just my opinion.

Luca Marini gifted first Honda point due to three tyre pressure penalties

Three riders fail to meet the minimum front tyre pressure during the German MotoGP.

Note the rubber from Binders front tire on Marquez thigh! They had contact early on, and then Binder faded.

That was scary. Marc got lucky just walking away from that.

His performance today, with bruised ribs and a broken finger was really impressive though. I was hoping he would give his brother the 2nd spot, but he took it.

Jorge Martins return to his box - fair enough

Alex went wide while pushing the front and Marc sailed by easily

For some inexplicable reason the race today didn’t show up on any channel despite having the Sprint race on yesterday. I’d like to meet the program director, up close and personal.

If you have Prime (or just MAX) they show the races live on MAX every week. That being said, the audio broadcast has had about a 3 second lag for the last few races... Also TruTV same broadcast just not necessarily live.

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

I hadn’t thought of Prime which I have but not Max. It’s $9.99 a month (with ads) no less. $16.99 w/o. Prime showed the GP races but with the notation to watch them on Max.
