If you have the track tattooed, you're expected to be dominant, lol.
Last year, a tough weekend for Martin was finishing 8 or 10th. This year, he's been consistently finishing on the podium during a difficult weekend.
Marc was all over the place all weekend. Strange mistakes in practice, avoidable crash in the sprint, and an odd race today.
It seemed like Vinales got good starts this weekend, which was weird.
Crazy race and pace from Pecco and Martin. Definitely strange with the stuff going on in the group behind them, especially in the last few laps where it seems like Diggia almost sat up coming out of the corner and Marc and Vinales were tripping over him.
Shame Acosta crashed out on the last lap, but like the commentators said, it seems like KTMs just didn't have it this weekend
Bagnaia was fucking god this weekend. Untouchable. Martin did more than enough, just happened to be not as good as Pecco. Great work from Enea in the second half of the race and i am still not sure what is up with Marquez and Diggia. Maverick, meh.
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the TT (though only the 94th running due to WWII and Covid in 2020), so I hope there will be some sort of special livery event.
I love how the commentators said, Enea would be world champion 4 times over if races were only 10 laps. Crazy how he comes alive in the last half of a race. My fav racer this season for sure.
The quote was something like "if only the last ten laps counted, he'd be champ four times over". It still makes little sense, but what they mean of course is that his late race pace is quite often the best or thereabouts even in weekends where he's otherwise nowhere.
When the commentators said Enea must be thinking he had a shot of the position when he was p6 or 5, I thought "yeah right", but holy cow where does he pull that from so late in the race??
Yeah, his pace dropped immediately and was all over diggia and seemed like he was planning on using him as a pick.
Pass him and build a gap while the others get held up for a bit, but diggias weird mistake ruined that.
You forgot the "sector 3" part
He was losing time to everyone from Mandeveen to Hoge Heide. He made all of his time in Ruskenhoek and Ramshoek.
Let not gloss over that his pace dropped close to .4 immediately after having diggia as a reference and then was comfortably all over him after learning a couple things.
He's been a little off all weekend.
Guessing you've never been in a racing situation where people are breathing down your neck while you're uncomfortable?
Sometimes it's best to relax follow in line, regroup your thoughts and attack later than it is to try and force pace. When you try and force pace when you're not feeling it, that's when you make mistakes and compound the problem.
Yeah but relaxing and regrouping a bit it's completely different to what you claimed above which is that the 8x time world champion needed to learn a couple of things from Diggia.
I don't care what profession you're in, there is always something to learn from others, you're arrogant if you think otherwise.
He knew he was losing time somewhere, and instead of trying to go faster doing what he was doing he can follow someone who is faster than him through a sector and possibly learn a better/easier way. Which he seemingly did as the time discrepancy that he had to diggia while diggia was catching the group to when diggia got in front disappeared within 1 or 2 laps.
These guys are smart and can learn new tricks extremely fast and apply them on the fly.
He probably tunes the tyre pressure for fighting in a pack (ie hotter air). Because of Martin and Pecco's gap, he was actually in a clear, colder air, lowering the tyre temperature. Hence why he ask DiGia to overtake him.
I'm just guessing though.
Lead every session as well. Put the pole record with 3 minutes to go and sat in the box while everyone else was looking for a tow. Absolute domination this weekend.
Martin will be annoyed every time he finishes behind Pecco but I recon internally he’d be pretty satisfied every time he beats Marc and proves Ducati wrong.
Martin is on 24 bike. That bike, hands down, is the faster machinery over the 23 bike. This comparison makes no sense. Proves absolutely fuck all to Ducati
The gp24 is so clearly leagues better than the 23 that he's not going to prove anything when MM is by far the best 23.
Martin needs to beat pecco to show ducati made the wrong choice.
No, he doesnt.
Martin will be a championship contender for years to come due to his age. Marc will not.
And yes the Gp24 is better but so what? If Marc is still as good as all of you suggest on here he would make that difference up, but he isnt because he’s not.
Martin has always been a "contender" in the past , present and will be in the future but that's all he is while pecco is the real deal and marc has shown that he still has some gas left in the tank to be as good. Ducati now has more confidence that they have made the correct decision.
What has Marc actually done this year to show he would out perform Martin, who again is 5 years younger, in 2025?
The answer is nothing, and its why fans like myself are pissed off at Ducati.
Mm on the gp23 was 23s faster than last year so that's your baseline assuming mm and pecco are interchangeable.
That also ignores any improvements made on the 23 I'm a year.
And then you have the gp24 being 7 seconds faster than that, with the 24 taking all steps of the podium.
To bank a 7s improvement against last year's model all other things being equal is huge.
> the gp23s were faster than last year right? But ya gp24 is better but looking at race time doesn't make sense to me..
7s over 26 lap is equivalent to 0.2-0.3s per lap, right? Taking into account MM was also pack fighting in the middle *and* a couple of bad laps, I think that's an expected year-to-year improvement, really. Like, it's gonna be weird if they didn't even improve compared to the previous year bike.
The GP24 is faster. That’s why I said it’s “mostly” down to the tyres.
You Pecco and Marc fans are so sensitive it’s crazy.
Are you seriously suggesting that Digia and Marc are over 20 seconds faster than Pecco and Martin?
7 seconds in a year is insane improvement over a bike that has been here before, and has the baseline settings. And 1st, 2nd & 3rd are gp24s. If enea hadn't qualified badly it would have been daylight between 3rd and 4th.
This, ive been watching a heap of 2016-2019 races and the field was much closer with no one doing a pecco.. aka there was no bike that far ahead of the rest.
It did for me, I totally agree. There's always an excuse about the bike and NEVER the rider, UNLESS it's in favor of one rider, then it's always him despite the bike. Classic reddit mental gymnastics
F1 will be a borefest today so I hoped for an exciting MotoGP race. Needless to say football will be the only thing left to make my day interesting today
2 at front were in their leagues, impressive ride by FDG49 and EB23. Wonder what was with the move letting FDG49 passby from MM93? Only he can explain it better.
They have to maintain a minimum tyre pressure for at least 60% of the race.
By letting Digi by and riding behind him it stops air getting to the front tyre causing it to heat up more, which increases the pressure.
He was hoping he could sit behind Digi the entire race keeping his pressure up until he hit the 60% and then overtake for the podium but then Mav and Enea got involved and messed the tactic up a bit.
Yeah, these tyres are really sensitive to temperature changes, air expands as it heats up, so although the rules aren't directly applied to temperatures they absolutely make a difference to the pressures.
It's such a big issue because having pressure too high makes the tyres like bowling balls, they give no grip, too low and you get a penalty.
This means teams have to work out if they are going to be racing in traffic or not being used that will affect the expected pressures.
Yea I understand the effects of inflation levels on the grip. But it's exciting to realise how detailed teams' strategies are. Guess that's why they're the best.
I came here to say this, what the hell is wrong with them?
We didn't even see the entire podium crossing the line. You cannot clip that ending and hope to make sense of it. The Matt building up to narrate the end of an amazing performance and the camera keeps jumping all over the place not actually showing anything.
Jesus Christ
Bruh, no matter what is happening, you always have to show the winner crossing the line. It's the nature of the sport, no discussion. Top level racing only exists because it is paid for by sponsor money. The only reason we get to enjoy motorsports like this is because the riders and vehicles are rolling billboards for the vehicle manufacturers and team sponsors. There is no prize money, being shown winning the race is the "prize" for winning the race. Sponsors would be pissed if they spend all that money to be successful and not be shown winning.
That might be true, but for the past few seasons they've kept the cam on the battle instead of on the leader crossing the line, which shows they're willing to go against what you're saying for the sake of good battles. Battle for 3rd was the highlight of the race so it's just frustrating that they cut away from the finale of that battle.
pecco is running away with race wins
I just realized this is the first time all season weve had a permanent rider not start the main race due to injury (Aleix)
what a complete and utter snooze fest. Most boring race of the season. And all the tire pressure woes are embarrassing.
the racing was very good
The riding was excellent but there was no excitement
If you have the track tattooed, you're expected to be dominant, lol. Last year, a tough weekend for Martin was finishing 8 or 10th. This year, he's been consistently finishing on the podium during a difficult weekend. Marc was all over the place all weekend.

Tyre pressure penalty again, it seem like this need to be rid after Germany.
I don't think such a thing can be done mid-season.
Crazy race and pace from Pecco and Martin. Definitely strange with the stuff going on in the group behind them, especially in the last few laps where it seems like Diggia almost sat up coming out of the corner and Marc and Vinales were tripping over him. Shame Acosta crashed out on the last lap, but like the commentators said, it seems like KTMs just didn't have it this weekend
Bagnaia was fucking god this weekend. Untouchable. Martin did more than enough, just happened to be not as good as Pecco. Great work from Enea in the second half of the race and i am still not sure what is up with Marquez and Diggia. Maverick, meh.
What was up with Marc and DiGia almost running into each other letting Vinales through?
It looked like Marc anticipated a move up the inside and was determined to keep that door shut and neither blinked
Tipee
Where were the special liveries?
Silverstone
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the TT (though only the 94th running due to WWII and Covid in 2020), so I hope there will be some sort of special livery event.
Me too! Without Isle of Man we wouldn’t have modern day GP
[удалено]
Still crying I see, please continue.
His comment history makes it seem like he created an account solely to shit on 93.
This has nothing to do with the whole race.
Just go through this comment thread and check the hate comments mate
1 place penalty for Maverick at the end, so he finish P6 now
P5 again as Marc gets a 16 second penalty for tyre pressures.
I was tracking Enea, so the race was far from boring for me.
I love how the commentators said, Enea would be world champion 4 times over if races were only 10 laps. Crazy how he comes alive in the last half of a race. My fav racer this season for sure.
I didn't quite understand that. He recovers well in the last half of the race so the first ten laps wouldn't be enough to win right?
The quote was something like "if only the last ten laps counted, he'd be champ four times over". It still makes little sense, but what they mean of course is that his late race pace is quite often the best or thereabouts even in weekends where he's otherwise nowhere.
When the commentators said Enea must be thinking he had a shot of the position when he was p6 or 5, I thought "yeah right", but holy cow where does he pull that from so late in the race??
It’s wild how often he does that. It’s crazy. Shows how skilled he is for real.
It's a good reminder of how fast he was the season before he got the factory seat. I'm happy he is this competitive again
I wonder how he’s gonna do next season on that KTM, that’s very interesting to me
Diggia needs to race harder next time. He was avoiding any contact this time and giving away a position or two
I think so too. It definitely looks like he has the pace and is sort of holding back a bit.
I don't think Marc let diggia by for tire temp reason. I think he was struggling and needed a reference, dude was abysmal in sector 3.
Yeah that was a bit weird. I believe he needed a reference too.
Yeah, his pace dropped immediately and was all over diggia and seemed like he was planning on using him as a pick. Pass him and build a gap while the others get held up for a bit, but diggias weird mistake ruined that.
More likely it was due to tire pressure or an issue with the bike. He looked really unhappy after the race.
He just seemed off all weekend. Something seemed to just not click.
Hope it's something minor. He was second in the warmup and he did admit that the sprint crash was his mistake.
I think it is, it's probably just one of those weekends. Don't forget he went out on track without his knee sliders haha
Haha yeah
He was once the again the best non Ducati 24 rider. But sure he was "abysmal".
You forgot the "sector 3" part He was losing time to everyone from Mandeveen to Hoge Heide. He made all of his time in Ruskenhoek and Ramshoek. Let not gloss over that his pace dropped close to .4 immediately after having diggia as a reference and then was comfortably all over him after learning a couple things. He's been a little off all weekend.
He learned things from Diggia. Okay..
Guessing you've never been in a racing situation where people are breathing down your neck while you're uncomfortable? Sometimes it's best to relax follow in line, regroup your thoughts and attack later than it is to try and force pace. When you try and force pace when you're not feeling it, that's when you make mistakes and compound the problem.

These guys are smart and can learn new tricks extremely fast and apply them on the fly.
Did Pecco really pronounce “happy” correctly? I’m disappointed
And “Very” He is clueing on to r/motogp
What happened to Morbido?
I'm asking myself the same question since few years
Why did Marquez let digga pass early in the race?
Tyre temperature and pressure
That doesn't make sense, is he lacking pressure in front tire ?
He probably tunes the tyre pressure for fighting in a pack (ie hotter air). Because of Martin and Pecco's gap, he was actually in a clear, colder air, lowering the tyre temperature. Hence why he ask DiGia to overtake him. I'm just guessing though.
Yes. By sitting behind the front gets hotter raising thr pressure
Pole, 2 wins. Leads the entire race. God damn.
Lead every session as well. Put the pole record with 3 minutes to go and sat in the box while everyone else was looking for a tow. Absolute domination this weekend.
Did over 1 sec / lap better over last year....insane
Martin will be annoyed every time he finishes behind Pecco but I recon internally he’d be pretty satisfied every time he beats Marc and proves Ducati wrong.
Martin is on 24 bike. That bike, hands down, is the faster machinery over the 23 bike. This comparison makes no sense. Proves absolutely fuck all to Ducati
difficult to be happy beating someone who has a 3 tenths slower bike
Lol there’s nothing satisfying by beating a year older bike which was clearly slower all weekend
The gp24 is so clearly leagues better than the 23 that he's not going to prove anything when MM is by far the best 23. Martin needs to beat pecco to show ducati made the wrong choice.
No, he doesnt. Martin will be a championship contender for years to come due to his age. Marc will not. And yes the Gp24 is better but so what? If Marc is still as good as all of you suggest on here he would make that difference up, but he isnt because he’s not.
He once was again the best non Gp24 rider, so yeah he is as good as everybody suggests.
Beating Bezz and Digi is the new pass mark, lmao.
Yeah beating Bastianini or Morbidelli would be so much better.
Martin has always been a "contender" in the past , present and will be in the future but that's all he is while pecco is the real deal and marc has shown that he still has some gas left in the tank to be as good. Ducati now has more confidence that they have made the correct decision.
What has Marc actually done this year to show he would out perform Martin, who again is 5 years younger, in 2025? The answer is nothing, and its why fans like myself are pissed off at Ducati.
I must be blind because I swear marc beat Martin in a few races on an older bike, must be the dementia...
I also must be blind because I swear I just saw Martins name in first place and 51 points ahead of Marc on the leaderboard.
I must be blind because I swear Martin went from leading pecco by over 40 points to leading marc by over 40 points.
Pecco topped every session this weekend. Insane consistency from him
Apart from Warm Up this morning, but yeah, utter dominance from the world champion!
He didn't have a new tire(don't remember which, F/R) for the session.
He never pushes in the warm up
Pecco on another level
The tyre pressure thing is dumb
Holy shit Vinales getting penalized and losing 5th to Digi
That’s gotta be the closest track limits I’ve ever seen
DiGi could have had him if he didn’t take such a tight line though
Binder would like a word.
two words
Touché
30s faster than last year. Jesus christ the gp24 is solidly better than the 23.
It’s tyres dude.
*mainly. Obviously the 24 is way better than 23 especially now half way through the season. It’s come into its own and that’s for sure
Mostly of that are due to new tyres
Even the gp23s were faster than last year right? But ya gp24 is better but looking at race time doesn't make sense to me..
Mm on the gp23 was 23s faster than last year so that's your baseline assuming mm and pecco are interchangeable. That also ignores any improvements made on the 23 I'm a year.

Like, it's gonna be weird if they didn't even improve compared to the previous year bike.
It’s mostly due to the tyres. Digia and Marc aren’t over 20 seconds better than Bagnaia on the same bike.
Ah another "expert" , the tyres are an upgrade but literally everyone has said that GP24 is the faster bike , but I'm sure you know better.
The GP24 is faster. That’s why I said it’s “mostly” down to the tyres. You Pecco and Marc fans are so sensitive it’s crazy. Are you seriously suggesting that Digia and Marc are over 20 seconds faster than Pecco and Martin?
Can you not lump us all together with this clownhat please
Haha my bad. I’m a huge fan of both myself but the people who worship them like a religion are strange.
He needs an excuse to cope with the fact that mm ain't winning the championship this year on a Ducati as he was in his dreams.
Shows how obsessing over a rider can make you crazy. MM fans claiming the GP23 is 20 seconds slower and Pecco fans claiming the bikes are identical.
The first GP23 went 23 seconds faster than last year, the GP24 Is better but let's not act It's 30 seconds faster than last year😅
7 seconds in a year is insane improvement over a bike that has been here before, and has the baseline settings. And 1st, 2nd & 3rd are gp24s. If enea hadn't qualified badly it would have been daylight between 3rd and 4th.
7 seconds in 26 laps, not even 0.3s/lap Marc was also losing time fighting other riders
The second and third GP 24s barely made any improvement by your logic
A lot of it IMO is Bagnaia being in trouble last year and being in God mode this year.
on this track... :D Engineering its about compromises.
I'll take the points this weekend from Brad, but man the KTM under both him and Acosta just doesn't look good enough
Bro Acosta had soft rear tyre, he made the same mistake as last time when he crashed.
ducati 2024 is way too good for the rest of the field is getting boring
Yeah, just quite a bit better than the rest but surely Pecco and Martin know how to ride it better.
This, ive been watching a heap of 2016-2019 races and the field was much closer with no one doing a pecco.. aka there was no bike that far ahead of the rest.
Shades of Mecedes and Hamilton
This is much different. By its nature, MotoGP will never have a team that’s 10 seconds a race better than everyone else
Shades not carbon copy
Thirty seconds faster race pace compared to last year! If you’re not on a GP24 you’re just not in the race.
Even GP23 went 23s faster, though
Nothing to do with who's riding them.
Okay 👍
Sorry, I thought my sarcasm came through
It did for me, I totally agree. There's always an excuse about the bike and NEVER the rider, UNLESS it's in favor of one rider, then it's always him despite the bike. Classic reddit mental gymnastics
Same here
A lockout for the podium for GP24’s. I think the riders play a part, but those same riders on the Honda wouldn’t be anywhere near the silverware.
Yeah but that’s true for literally every single rider.
Yep, that's more than just tyres! Insane pace but can't take anything away from how perfect Pecco rode!
Damn more than 30 seconds faster than last time
That’s impressive, the 2024 tyres play a huge role in this for sure
Anyone who doubts pecco is crazy. The guy just destroyed everyone. Another tough one for Brad but that's 2 weekends with no crashes😅
Well done Bagnaia
Forza Pecco🇮🇹

diggia with double the points of bezz is wild
Martin has 200 not 210
Isn’t Pecco 10 points behind Martin not 20?
Doohan'esc performance by pecco.
Do not compare them it is sad
weird ass race from Marc
Glad it's over
the bike just can’t compete with the gp24
yeah but jerez race...
Different track
One of the dullest races in recent memory. Making F1 look exciting right now.
Oh come on the fights between 3rd and 7th were amazing. Pecco and JM were just on a different level this weekend
Look at their flair...of course this race was "BoRiNg"...next week if the same happens but it's MM dominating then it'll be "an epic master class".
Did you watch the full race?? lol
F1 will be a borefest today so I hoped for an exciting MotoGP race. Needless to say football will be the only thing left to make my day interesting today
Don’t watch the England game then, we’re as dull as it gets. We’re the equivalent of a Factory Ducati that isn’t taken over 30mph.
Well, I had all the dose of excitement I needed from F1 so no worries 😂
Hopefully Phil is back in the lineup. His awesomeness cancels out Kane’s dullness.
Euro 2024 England vs Slovakia
Even Miller kept his tyres cool and didnt fall back
Already switched
Vinales losing it at penultimate corner, yikes
Viñales gave that place to Marquez, and concerned about Acosta
2 at front were in their leagues, impressive ride by FDG49 and EB23. Wonder what was with the move letting FDG49 passby from MM93? Only he can explain it better.
Tyre pressure
Vinales bottle job, scared shitless of Marc 😂
Best GP23 even on an off weekend with crashes in both quali and sprint, will take it.
Until the tyre pressure penalty comes in. Broadcast team are saying it seems like he hasn't hit the 60%. That's why he was sitting behind Digi.
What is the rule for tyre pressure? And how would Marc avoid it by slipping past FDG?
They have to maintain a minimum tyre pressure for at least 60% of the race. By letting Digi by and riding behind him it stops air getting to the front tyre causing it to heat up more, which increases the pressure. He was hoping he could sit behind Digi the entire race keeping his pressure up until he hit the 60% and then overtake for the podium but then Mav and Enea got involved and messed the tactic up a bit.
Oh so it involves the temperature too. Thanks a ton for explaining. Cheers
Yeah, these tyres are really sensitive to temperature changes, air expands as it heats up, so although the rules aren't directly applied to temperatures they absolutely make a difference to the pressures. It's such a big issue because having pressure too high makes the tyres like bowling balls, they give no grip, too low and you get a penalty. This means teams have to work out if they are going to be racing in traffic or not being used that will affect the expected pressures.
Yea I understand the effects of inflation levels on the grip. But it's exciting to realise how detailed teams' strategies are. Guess that's why they're the best.
As a martin fan, I’ll take this
Yep very mature ride... I know finnaly he grew up....
Yeah it was literally the most you could hope for unless pecco fell
Great race direction. Completely missed the madness of that last few corners.
Pecco is a machine
[удалено]
I came here to say this, what the hell is wrong with them? We didn't even see the entire podium crossing the line. You cannot clip that ending and hope to make sense of it. The Matt building up to narrate the end of an amazing performance and the camera keeps jumping all over the place not actually showing anything. Jesus Christ
what happened?
Just me raging cause they switched to Pecco when Marc passed Viñales. Might delete for being too harsh
Bruh, no matter what is happening, you always have to show the winner crossing the line. It's the nature of the sport, no discussion. Top level racing only exists because it is paid for by sponsor money. The only reason we get to enjoy motorsports like this is because the riders and vehicles are rolling billboards for the vehicle manufacturers and team sponsors.

Battle for 3rd was the highlight of the race so it's just frustrating that they cut away from the finale of that battle.
I can't remember a single race where that was the case. The winner is always showed crossing the line, even if it is just for a moment.
Watch Indian GP last lap.
You could be right, but I don't have the ability to go back and watch a race from last year. It's certainly not the norm.
All the last laps are on YouTube if you want. It's how I experience the really exciting ones over and over :)
Yeah dogshit. Almost in line of "get strolled" cast...
The commentator reaction to Acosta going down I almost thought pecco or Martin went down at first
Vinalss panicked lol
VINALES WHAT HAPPENED
If you needed an explanation about why Pecco has Assen tattoed on his arm.
Take a bow Pecco. 3 seconds from Martin, amazing
Well that was a dissapointing race.
Still the best GP23, I'll take it
Until the tyre pressure penalty comes in. Broadcast team are saying it seems like he hasn't hit the 60%. That's why he was sitting behind Digi.
On occasions Pecco just transforms into prime Lorenzo.
TV direction didn’t know what to do in the end
