Off to the backwards covid state of Texas, Yeeeha!
2019 was the last race there 1. Rins, not a chance, still picking gravel out of his boots 2. Jack Miller, maybe. 3. VR Will be going faster than 2019, but still last.

Rossi is now a man out of time. The level is now so high.
Can't see Marquez winning this one. Podium maybe but I just don't think the Honda is anything special tbh. It's not particularly fast now, it clearly has handling problems and the main rider flatters it. I reckon maybe Ducati will chip away at FQ but I think they've left it too late.

Can't see Marquez winning this one. i can. i honestly think it'll be a sausage'ring replica. he's too good there. it's a predominantly left handed track and nobody has any data more recent than 2019. also, if honda can find something at the misano test i think he'll be really hard to beat. not just at COTA but even next week, when they go back to italy for the second one. i wonder what odds you'd get for a marquez back to back...

Yeah, left-handed track so I can see him doing well. Depends on how hard he has to push though as he has been making a few mistakes recently, albeit in practice, but you could see how hard he had to ride the Honda at Aragon and Misano. He's flattering the bike.

Vinales not racing. Understandable.

I'm hoping for a battle between Marc and Jorge, with Martin handing Marquez his arse in the last lap. That would be sweet.

See that there are major complaints about the bumpy track.
What is going on with Olivera? Just can't get the KTM up to speed. Iker is also last. Is the bike not working here or is it the riders?

With KTM's pedigree you would think they would be good over the jumps.

Most of them are blindingly fast on their day. They just don't have consistency. KTM riders are budget Biaggis.

Holy shit!…the M3 crash was nasty….thankfully all ok…the overhead shot looks worse, Acosta bundled down the armco after hitting another bike whilst flat out or close to it on the back straight..Looks like one rider clipped the rear of another to begin with.

Thankfully all ok. Jeez. Acosta flew for a long time, but all smiles and tried to get his bike back for a restart. Oncu moved over which caused it, but it wasn't a wild weave, but still uncalled for, he wasnt lining up for the next corner. Centimetres in it.
So they take the 1st part as the result? Hold my beer, wheres my rule book?

1/2 points? 1.25.3 If three laps or more have been completed by the leader of the race and all other active riders on the same lap as the leader, but less than twothirds of the race distance (Moto2, Moto3) or three-quarters of the race distance (MotoGP), in both cases rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps, then the race will be restarted according to Art. 1.26. If it is found impossible to restart the race, then the results will count and half points will be awarded in the Championship.

Full points 1.26.6 Should a re-started race be interrupted and Race Direction deems it possible to re-start, then the conditions for a further re-start will follow Art. 1.26.4, with the race distance and results defined as follows: A. For Moto2 and Moto3 1. If Race 1 was interrupted before 3 laps completed, and: a) Race 2 has completed at least two-thirds of Race 2 distance (according to 1.25.1) before being interrupted, then: The race is deemed completed and full Championship points awarded.R1 was more than 3 laps. Part 2 wasn't two-thirds was it? The have award full points I think. www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/library/2021_FIM_Grand_Prix__World_Championship_Regulations_01.pdf
