I can’t wait to see how Maverick and Jorge Lorenzo’s partnership goes. Most people think it’ll end in a fiery argument but I really hope it doesn’t, and Jorge can somehow unlock Maverick and we’ll see him fighting for the title next year.

I completely agree with both your points.

I wouldn’t have imagined these two working together, I thought Mav got on better with Rossi tbh, and Rossi is vastly experienced at mentoring younger riders of course.

I just said out loud ‘oh Franky, honestly!’ And hitting Aleix of all people. You couldn’t make it up!😅

I must say, this was pretty rubbish. The presenters were more like the Eurovision Song Contest, with corny, laboured jokes and no chemistry. We didn’t even see the 3 top riders in each class standing next to each other for a photo. Although the music at the end was good and seeing Marc’s mountain of trophies by his chair was cool.

All I can say about this Sunday race without spoiling is: WTF Franky? What are you doing with your life? 😅

I think this is almost certain isn’t it. WTF happened to Pecco this year? I’m wondering if he is trying to escape Ducati and get into another team that doesn’t have Marc in.

So the cliffhanger is…will Pedro get 4th place off Pecco? 🍿And I hope Jorge Martin doesn’t get injured again. I would love it if he rode out of the pits, did the 2 long laps, then finished his race. Better safe than sorry.

There is no pleasing some people…What exactly did they want to happen this year? Maybe they are new fans who don’t know the history of Marc. But being able to watch premier class racing at all is a gift IMO.

So we will see if Pedro can overtake Pecco for 4th place, what else is to be decided, please?

I finally got the answer to this, according to my friend. From left to right it is: Migno, Antonelli, Manzi, Vietti, Rossi.

I’m not sure about the first 3 but I trust my friend.

A great sprint! The top 3 had such a long hard battle!

I have a Feeling that Pedro will do something amazing this weekend e.g. get his first win. This is because everywhere I look recently I see the number 37 e.g. on clocks, phones, computers. Like they’re telling me something…

More good news about Noah, he’s so much better he’s going home! Just realised how small that writing is, it says: "05 November 2025 19:01:06

We are pleased to announce that Noah Dettwiler’s health condition has improved so positively over the past few days that the treating physicians in Kuala Lumpur have given the green light for his repatriation to Switzerland. Today, Wednesday, a team from the Swiss Air-Rescue Rega visited Noah at the hospital in Kuala Lumpur to discuss and plan the details of his medical transport back home. The flight is scheduled for Thursday and Noah is expected to land in Zurich late in the evening. From there, he will be taken directly to a hospital where he will undergo the pending surgery on his leg. This will be followed by the rehabilitation phase. Noah’s family will also be able to begin their return journey from Kuala Lumpur to Switzerland on Thursday evening. The entire family as well as the team are overjoyed about this positive development and grateful for the excellent medical care in Malaysia. Special thanks go to Rega, who is making this safe repatriation to Switzerland possible."

It’s nice to think that 2011 made the treatment of accidents more carefully managed, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t look carefully at what went on that day and make improvements.

One impressive thing about this current accident was that there was that big international conference with world leaders nearby, so the Sepang officials had obviously planned the helicopters to avoid having to take ambulances by road. I’ve never seen helicopters landing on the track like that, it’s usually ambulances. Happy to be corrected!

People on Reddit are saying not all tracks are the same as regards marshalls, medics, safety etc. but I don’t know enough about all the tracks to comment.

That link I posted 5 days ago here was the last I heard about Noah, but it was positive and I’m sure we’d have heard any big developments 😊 EDIT: I added new information I found out about him to that other post. He is going home to Switzerland as he’s improved so much!

And that picture on that link of Jose Antonio smiling with the doctor is so cute. Apparently he celebrated his 20th birthday in hospital, bless him.

Isn’t it a relief? It sounded life threatening. I hope both boys continue to improve and don’t rush back to racing before they are 100% better.

It is exciting isn’t it! I just read that Bulega became too tall for the smaller bikes, he’s 5’10" or something, so that was part of his problem with them.

Such a great achievement! I think these two are taken for granted somewhat. In future people will look back and say ‘wow! Two brothers won!’

I hope he improves continuously and doesn’t relapse, his injuries sound life changing. Yes do not watch the incident. It reminded me of Billy Monger’s accident, almost exactly the same but different vehicles. I suspect they will make a rule: if your bike malfunctions, pull off the track ASAP.

Caution if you haven’t watched yet. A very nasty crash in Moto3, be warned. Two helicopters needed, I don’t have any more info, sorry.

Well that was an interesting race! 3 happy riders on the sprint podium for different reasons 😍

I suspect there has been a body swap in MotoGP.

😅
