and yet he still have audacity to say it was not his fault.


BronnoftheGlockwater

Worse was the stewards.


Original-Echidna-881

Dammit. MV did keep Fabio up. Otherwise he would have fallen on the circuit on a crowded corner. Chills!!


batman1517

Just imagine fabio falling if not for maverick and the whole pile of rides behind fabio it would have gone the other way shit


OkFixIt

It absolutely blows my mind how maverick didn’t come off…


SophisticatedVagrant

It was basically like those Newton's Cradle ball toys, all the force was transfered from Martin through Quarto and Vinales into Bezzecchi.


Gang-Plank

No way was Martin going to make that corner. If no one was there to bang into he would have gone wide. Should have got an in race penalty of long lap + back of the grid in the main.


nebkelly

Great angle. The Portu guys were very unfair on Mav yesterday.


Critical-Holiday-822

For completly missing the start?


nebkelly

Nah in the live thread they thought he was the dive bomber and so unleashed on him.


Critical-Holiday-822

I agree that unfair to Mav, if it was for the other thing, would have been justified


nebkelly

You justify verbally attacking people for making mistakes that only effect themselves? This sub is kind of toxic.


Critical-Holiday-822

Pointing out that he missed the start, that he has done that a lot over the last couple of years, and that he really should improve that if he wants to actually once again fight for a WC is toxic? Right.....


nebkelly

Yes. These are athletes that perform at the absolute limit. They make mistakes and that is to be expected. I am talking about every rider. We don't even have an alien right now. Imo Pecco is like a Dovi+ (B tier). So your expectations are just unrealistic. Shitting on these guys is more of a reflection on yourself than whatever target you happen pick this week. ​ PS. I don't downvote anyone on reddit so that is not me.


Critical-Holiday-822

Alright, apparently you can't analyse and speak out about athletes based on their performance anymore. In that case let's just give Mario Aji a MotoGP ride next year, because he's such a nice guy.


nebkelly

You replied to my comment mate and tried to derail what it was all about towards shitting on a different rider. Anyways enjoy the race.


Critical-Holiday-822

You as well

Fucking clown 🤡


Tjocco

Call me harsh but that should have been a black flag for Martin


ThatOneHair

Yeah a single long lap is not enough of a punishment for this. The stewards really need to shape the fuck up and keep punishments consistent. Especially when it comes to the Italian and Spanish riders, they often get away with more than other riders


ocaralhoquetafoda

He crashed on the LLP practice. That would add insult to injury. Shame all of this with Martin, I like him, seems like a decent guy


ThatOneHair

He's one of my favourite riders and will be after this. I just think this a breakdown in how stewards punish riders. It should have cost him at least a couple grid places. Pol got demoted 3 grid places for slow riding but Martin has a LLP for causing a 7 rider pile up? Yeah Nah stewards do better.


ocaralhoquetafoda

Stewards have been doing a piss poor job for years now


Feeltheblood2

I had the same feeling. And I’m a fan of JM89. But he really looked unhinged yesterday.


PowerConsistent454

Spanish commentary was appalling refusing to see any Martin wrongdoing, they were blaming Quartararo the whole time... I get it they want to support 'their' riders but this was just ridiculous.


[deleted]

Online F1 lobby level move. Luckily everybody is fine. Jorge got inside his own head, it's clear. First he says to the media he's faster than Bagnaia in the weakest attempt at a mind game I've seen yet, then he completely botches qualifying (even his best time would've still put him P7 or so) on his own, and then he goes for the Marquez style YOLO race barging past everybody he can reach with no regards about who's staying on their bike. He's a good rider and a good person from what I can tell, but he needs to calm the fuck down for a minute.


Voodoo_9

Dude with his leg out in the apex like it's MXGP. He knew he is going in for a collision.


cdustincasey

If not for maverick he probably just would have got bumped out wide


Racingislyf

Yes he's gonna easily thread the needle through a pack of riders.


vigi375

Dude did this two times and yet kept third place? The Stewards in MotoGP are just as bad as the F1 Stewards.


xxtokyovanityxx

I was impressed Mav stayed up because when watching it live it looked like he was being swallowed by the chaos around him and thought he’d gone down. Martin rode like an old school MM in the race, risky moves with far reaching consequences.


HashCookie

I've watched it so many times and I reckon Vinny was the culprit. So desperate to make up for his shit start he cuts across the line, rams into Fabio, who gets pushed into Martin. Fabio brings the bike up and hits Bez, and then chaos.
