“A.I. Takeover? Marquez Brothers Dominate While Ai Ogura Shocks the Grid!”
The 2025 MotoGP season kicked off in spectacular fashion at the Thai Grand Prix, delivering drama, dominance, and unexpected performances right from the first race of the year.
Marc Marquez proved once again why he’s one of the greatest riders of all time, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. After leading early, he was forced to give up the top spot on Lap 8 due to front tire pressure issues, momentarily putting his victory in doubt. But in classic Marquez fashion, he bided his time, reclaimed the lead with three laps to go, and then streaked away by over two seconds, leaving no question about his strength on the Ducati. With Alex Marquez securing P2, the Marquez brothers locked out a historic 1-2 finish, sending a loud warning to their championship rivals.
Meanwhile, Ai Ogura delivered a statement-making debut, finishing P4 in the Sprint Race and P5 in the Main Race. While he didn’t quite reach the podium, his impressive pace and racecraft proved he belongs at the front of the MotoGP grid. Is this the beginning of an A.I. era in MotoGP?
For Pecco Bagnaia, the weekend was a humbling experience. Despite securing two P3 finishes in both the Sprint and Main Race, Pecco struggled to match the relentless pace of the Marquez brothers. Tire degradation issues once again plagued him, a worrying sign as the season progresses. With Argentina and COTA up next—two of Marc’s strongest tracks—does Pecco have an answer before the championship momentum shifts completely away from him?
Now, all eyes turn to COTA, a Marquez fortress where he has been nearly unbeatable in the past. Can Pecco, Martin, or even Ogura disrupt his dominance, or is Ducati’s latest weapon about to make Marc even more untouchable?

00:00:09.464 --> 00:00:11.926
Welcome to the Grand Pre-Project Podcast.
00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:35.158
All right, all right.
00:00:35.158 --> 00:00:39.728
Welcome once again to the Grand Prix Project Me, your host Andre and the big bro.
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.862
Thanos876.
00:00:42.862 --> 00:00:44.646
What's up, what's up, what's up?
00:00:44.646 --> 00:00:44.947
Good.
00:00:44.947 --> 00:00:55.003
Season's finally season finally kicked off yeah, but it was kind of boring, no lie, it's kind of.
00:00:55.003 --> 00:00:58.491
It's kind of boring, to be honest it was a great weekend.
00:00:59.213 --> 00:01:01.868
Um, I'm not talking about across the board.
00:01:01.868 --> 00:01:03.146
It was a.
00:01:03.146 --> 00:01:03.970
It was a great weekend across the board.
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:06.965
It was a great weekend across the board in terms of just how things played out.
00:01:06.965 --> 00:01:09.686
Puzo, things played out true to farm.
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:20.924
Yeah, I don't think there was any surprise going into the race weekend that Marquez was probably going to be the one to beat, because, I don't know, pekka seems to be.
00:01:20.924 --> 00:01:33.489
Just, you know, since the last test they had at this very same track, it wasn't that impressive and the forum carried over into the weekend again.
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:45.810
So you know, I think where you finish was pretty much where you finish because, funny enough, remember, we had the predictions of what the race is gonna, what the was going to be for this race.
00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:50.570
But you know, I got mine right, but I got the.
00:01:50.570 --> 00:01:53.293
You got the podium right.
00:01:53.293 --> 00:01:56.566
I got the podium right, but the finishing order is wrong.
00:01:56.587 --> 00:01:57.609
We both got the podium right.
00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:07.231
I went conservative, I went with Alex for the win, right, but I got the podium right because I end up getting yeah, it's the same thing we.
00:02:07.231 --> 00:02:13.259
I was just solid with Peko on mines, though yeah, because I went.
00:02:14.082 --> 00:02:23.335
I think I went, peko, mark and Alex and I went Alex Mark Peko so only you got one place in right.
00:02:23.335 --> 00:02:25.423
Yeah, because Peko finished third.
00:02:25.443 --> 00:02:33.483
The thing is in my heart I actually went with mark what I'm like nah, let's, let's keep it, let's, let's see if something, something could happen.
00:02:33.483 --> 00:02:36.049
But yeah, um, it was a great weekend.
00:02:36.049 --> 00:02:39.902
But yeah, let's look at, um, just how weekend started for peko.
00:02:39.902 --> 00:02:41.224
Like it started.
00:02:41.585 --> 00:03:08.159
It was tough yeah, I think, listen, listening, listening to him yesterday after um the qualifying session, I think his problem was more tire related rather than the bike performance itself, because in the interview, one of the interviews he said that he couldn't get to use the tire that he likes his favorite tire tyre, so he's basically going to have to go with the one he's using.
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:24.039
And you can see the whole weekend from FP1, mark and Alex were just pretty much ahead of everybody, mars ahead of everybody and Peke was just, he was you know FP1.
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:24.822
He finished what?
00:03:24.822 --> 00:03:25.724
Something like 11th.
00:03:25.724 --> 00:03:29.302
He finished in fp1 nowhere to be seen.
00:03:29.302 --> 00:03:36.254
I think he was like half a second off mark and that's just not typical pekka.
00:03:36.254 --> 00:03:40.866
I know mark's good, but mark isn't half a second faster than pekka.
00:03:41.106 --> 00:03:46.074
But you know we don't know that yet, because you got to think about it.
00:03:46.074 --> 00:03:52.270
Right, it's the same tune, though it was the same thing last year.
00:03:52.270 --> 00:04:01.201
Tires ultimately comes down to this, right, you don't know, the greats are going to drive right and drive around the issues, certain issues, right.
00:04:01.201 --> 00:04:03.187
And it's the same thing for peko.
00:04:03.187 --> 00:04:04.389
It's a common thing for peko.
00:04:04.389 --> 00:04:19.141
So, yeah, it's coming to look like whenever the tire isn't sweet, sweet enough for him, he struggles and ultimately you got to figure that part out.
00:04:19.161 --> 00:04:24.637
Yeah, but at the same time, you have to remember, you know, the the only thing they have uncommon with across the whole entire grid is the ties.
00:04:24.637 --> 00:04:34.084
Yeah, but if you think about it, whilst they're all on the same bike, if the tie is not working for him, there's not much he can do.
00:04:34.084 --> 00:04:38.552
You know, and it would be the same with Mark.
00:04:38.552 --> 00:04:45.324
If Mark, if Mark, can't get the tires to work, he's not going to perform how he's meant to perform yeah, that's true, but it's common.
00:04:45.365 --> 00:04:45.846
That's what I'm saying.
00:04:45.846 --> 00:04:47.232
It's a common theme for peko.
00:04:47.232 --> 00:04:56.184
Every year it's the same thing go back and check his track record there's always something going on with tires and you'll be like really yeah because tires?
00:04:56.324 --> 00:04:59.692
because that's what the limiting factor is for him the tires.
00:04:59.692 --> 00:05:00.461
It's not the bike.
00:05:00.482 --> 00:05:05.459
The bike performs well, but if you've seen last, so at what point you start looking at the rider?
00:05:07.002 --> 00:05:17.911
well, unless when you can provide evidence that the tires aren't causing a problem but we haven't seen any evidence that the tires are causing a problem uh, we saw that last year.
00:05:17.911 --> 00:05:22.809
We saw that last year and I think we might have seen it in this race as well.
00:05:22.809 --> 00:05:28.427
But the more we get on into the podcast, we might, you know, we bring that reason why I doubt it right.
00:05:28.649 --> 00:05:36.612
It seems to always be pekka with this common tire issue when he's not performing well it's yes you can say that yes so.
00:05:36.632 --> 00:05:44.906
So at that point, at that point you got to start looking at the rider fair enough, but I don't think I'm just going off his history.
00:05:44.906 --> 00:05:46.761
I'm not being tough on him, I'm just going off his history.
00:05:46.761 --> 00:05:58.959
He's always got a problem with tires right and ultimately, it's it's one and one's issue that he's gonna have to fix, as we said, even though it's the only thing they have in common.
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:10.589
Hey man, we we know what the greats do they figure it out yeah, yeah, eventually I could see one off I could see one off, but it's a common thing for peko.
00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:11.192
That's my issue.
00:06:11.192 --> 00:06:15.165
I could see a one after the season or twice, but it's a common.
00:06:15.165 --> 00:06:18.233
If you check peko's track record, it's a common issue, right?
00:06:18.252 --> 00:06:25.968
but yeah, um, yeah, as I said, yes, definitely, he definitely has to figure that out, especially with mark being his teammate now.
00:06:25.968 --> 00:06:30.266
You know, last year he had similar problems but he eventually figured it out.
00:06:30.266 --> 00:06:41.348
He did affect him in a couple of races but over the whole entire season it wasn't the limiting factor for him Because, again, he won what 11 feature races?
00:06:41.348 --> 00:06:46.132
And I think he only won two of sprint races or something like that he won.
00:06:46.132 --> 00:07:08.005
So you know he, he will figure it out, but I think mark was just on it today, on it since the last test and since I'm practicing spree season yeah, that's that so because just hold, he eat this one and just go back to the drawing board and try and figure out what went wrong.
00:07:08.326 --> 00:07:16.391
And him and his side of the garage just needs to get it right, because I think the way the calendar sets, um, they've set up the calendar.
00:07:16.391 --> 00:07:22.288
Mark's favorites type of circuits are early in the calendar.
00:07:22.288 --> 00:07:25.238
Yeah, anti-clock, clockwise circuit.
00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:30.514
We're going to come to that because we're going to get to mark and and his performance over the week, right, um.
00:07:30.514 --> 00:07:42.245
So yeah, that's peko from practice qualifying coming up through the race, coming up through the um, coming through.
00:07:42.266 --> 00:07:48.244
So we're going to move on to um man ayagur but hold up, but hold up, but we didn't, we didn't even, you know.
00:07:48.244 --> 00:07:55.446
Just to show you how his weekend pretty much kind of like just what just was, not it?
00:07:55.446 --> 00:08:07.142
The whole incident with frankie in fp2 which basically forced him to come through um qualifying one to get into the final round of qualifying, it's kind of like.
00:08:07.142 --> 00:08:14.250
It's just like when things don't go right for Pekka, everything just goes wrong.
00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:18.389
Yeah, but it's not just a one thing, it just it seems to cascade down for him.
00:08:18.389 --> 00:08:23.709
You can't just let a bad thing happen and it just, you know, disappear.
00:08:23.709 --> 00:08:25.148
Something bad happened.
00:08:25.187 --> 00:08:41.102
It pretty much ruins his entire weekend and because I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I would disagree somewhat on that because he made it right, because when he went through to q1, he went through q1 to q2, he saved the tire.
00:08:41.102 --> 00:08:45.291
So he ended up in q2 like he didn't even go through Q1 because he didn't use that extra tire.
00:08:45.291 --> 00:08:53.508
Yeah, but and sometimes it's proven that going through Q1 to Q2 sometimes could work out well for you.
00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:57.955
Yeah, true, but the thing is it's the added pressure that puts on you.
00:08:57.955 --> 00:09:09.279
You know what I mean, because he goes into that Q1 session knowing that, yo, I can't make a mistake, because if I make a mistake and I don't make it through, I'm starting 10 places behind my teammate.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.787
You can't have that.
00:09:11.822 --> 00:09:22.649
so that added pressure, you know, was in play as well but the thing is, those added pressures, right, it comes back to what I'm going to say, and I say I'm not beating none of the guys, I just expect, once you're a double world champion.
00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:32.948
There's certain things that are certain excuses that I don't give anymore, like pressure, like pressure is on you, like you're not a rookie here, you're not in your second year, you're two times world champion, runner up last year.
00:09:32.948 --> 00:09:40.167
So I'm not even going to give you the pressure excuse, because you know what the pressure, the most pressure is fine for a championship.
00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:50.187
Yeah, but the difference here is I think the difference here is I think the difference here is the.
00:09:50.187 --> 00:09:53.340
This level of pressure is different to previous levels of pressure because of who his teammate is.
00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:59.072
You know, I mean, if it was um enea as his teammate, he wouldn't feel that level of pressure.
00:09:59.072 --> 00:10:03.730
He could afford to, like drop, have these bad moments.
00:10:03.730 --> 00:10:05.596
But you're going up against mark.
00:10:05.596 --> 00:10:08.023
Mark is one of the all-time aliens, you know.
00:10:08.023 --> 00:10:19.910
I mean, so you can't have bad weekends because mark really has bad weekends, because no, mark, what picked up 37 points, maximum points, what?
00:10:19.910 --> 00:10:20.812
Uh?
00:10:20.893 --> 00:10:22.160
it's 14 points um, or is it?
00:10:22.322 --> 00:10:23.508
15 because 16 and he got what?
00:10:23.508 --> 00:10:24.594
Um, I think it's 14 points ahead.
00:10:24.594 --> 00:10:27.306
Or is it 15 because 16 and he got what I?
00:10:27.710 --> 00:10:32.139
think it's 14 points ahead no, are you sure?
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.232
because 16 was for third and the sprint races.
00:10:35.232 --> 00:10:35.897
It was what?
00:10:35.897 --> 00:10:38.447
12, 9 and 7.
00:10:38.447 --> 00:10:40.326
So you're right, you're right.
00:10:40.326 --> 00:10:41.089
So it's 20.
00:10:41.089 --> 00:10:44.621
It's 23 to 37, so it's 14 points ahead.
00:10:44.621 --> 00:10:47.884
You don't want to give Mark that sort of head start.
00:10:47.884 --> 00:10:47.985
What?
00:10:48.004 --> 00:10:48.544
did I say in You're right.
00:10:48.544 --> 00:10:49.326
So it's 23 to 37.
00:10:49.326 --> 00:10:50.647
So it's 14 points ahead.
00:10:50.647 --> 00:10:51.748
You don't want to give Mark that sort of head start.
00:10:51.748 --> 00:10:52.948
What did I say in the last part?
00:10:52.948 --> 00:10:55.250
Remember when I said the last thing you want to do is give Mark an advantage.
00:10:55.572 --> 00:11:01.517
Yeah, which is why I said you know the level of pressure he has to deal with this time around.
00:11:01.517 --> 00:11:02.057
It's different.
00:11:02.057 --> 00:11:20.725
It's different, it's absolutely different, because he knows mark is hungry, mark wants another championship, he's hungry and if he's on a bike like that, well, he is on the bike, the best bike on the bike, the best bike in history you're not.
00:11:20.725 --> 00:11:22.866
He's not going to give you an inch.
00:11:22.866 --> 00:11:24.211
Yeah.
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.913
So, it's your responsibility now to make sure you don't give him even a half, an inch, a tenth.
00:11:29.913 --> 00:11:38.006
You're not giving him anything, because if you give him, if he sees that one chink in your armor, he's going to exploit that and you're dead.
00:11:38.006 --> 00:11:40.000
You're getting nothing from it.
00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:41.726
He's quite the opportunist, put it that way.
00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:43.826
He's not just the opportunist.
00:11:43.826 --> 00:11:44.188
Put it that way.
00:11:44.188 --> 00:11:46.803
Right, he's not just the opportunist, he also makes his own opportunities.
00:11:46.803 --> 00:11:48.828
Yeah, you guys I mean so.
00:11:48.828 --> 00:12:00.038
So he'll prey on your mishaps and whatever whatnot, but at the same time, he's gonna force you into those uh mishaps as well.
00:12:00.038 --> 00:12:03.964
So he's gonna create his own opportunities so we're gonna come to mark right.
00:12:05.306 --> 00:12:06.567
Well, let's just go through the weekend.
00:12:06.567 --> 00:12:08.929
So I agree, I agree.
00:12:08.929 --> 00:12:16.028
Oh man, I knew it was good because we put firming right, just.
00:12:16.028 --> 00:12:22.528
But remember I said this in the last part I had put firming based on machine, not based on just talent.
00:12:22.528 --> 00:12:23.832
Putting based on machine, not based on just talent.
00:12:23.832 --> 00:12:29.785
Put him based on machine Because I was thinking Ducati is just going to be bolt on and go right.
00:12:29.785 --> 00:12:31.788
Furman struggled.
00:12:32.350 --> 00:12:32.570
Yeah.
00:12:32.610 --> 00:12:35.654
But Iagora Yowai.
00:12:36.221 --> 00:12:37.298
Hats off to you, man.
00:12:37.298 --> 00:12:42.692
That was some debut for his first race.
00:12:42.692 --> 00:12:44.423
Fourth in the sprint race.
00:12:44.423 --> 00:12:47.350
Where did he finish in the first one?
00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:49.101
Sixth or seventh?
00:12:49.663 --> 00:12:50.404
um no, he finished.
00:12:50.404 --> 00:12:51.667
He finished fifth.
00:12:51.667 --> 00:12:52.568
I can't remember fifth.
00:12:52.568 --> 00:12:53.571
He's the top.
00:12:53.571 --> 00:12:56.082
Nun ducati behind say morbid.
00:12:56.082 --> 00:13:00.291
He said it was mark alex peko morbidly aigura, morbidly yeah, morbidly yeah Ayagura.
00:13:00.291 --> 00:13:07.629
Moby Dick yeah, moby Dick yeah so I was just beaming with a, with a smile.
00:13:07.629 --> 00:13:27.006
I'm like, wow, it's been a while since we had a Japanese like look man but the thing is, ayagura is a safe pair of hands, bro, and the thing that I like with him is he he takes his time.
00:13:28.770 --> 00:13:28.971
Yeah.
00:13:29.533 --> 00:13:39.320
Right, and he's a student of the sport in terms of how he goes about his business.
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.009
Because you're talking about this man turning an opportunity to go to MotoGP.
00:13:42.009 --> 00:13:44.085
Most people do that and never see MotoGP.
00:13:45.268 --> 00:13:47.072
True, but he had an issue.
00:13:47.072 --> 00:13:50.149
I mean he made the right decision, because where was he going to go?
00:13:50.149 --> 00:13:51.759
He was going to go under them, under us.
00:13:53.062 --> 00:13:57.370
But what I'm saying to you, a lot of times that happens and you never get another call up.
00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:12.634
True, he said man, I need to win this Moto2 championship, because he knew he should have won that one the year before, the one that um 22 22 um 23 because he won last year yeah, which was 24.
00:14:13.235 --> 00:14:14.015
so it was yeah so 20.
00:14:14.341 --> 00:14:17.429
oh, 22, the one that he fumbled no, he won last year, so he fumbled 23.
00:14:20.061 --> 00:14:20.923
nah, man, he didn't.
00:14:20.923 --> 00:14:23.389
It wasn't the who won it in 23.
00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:35.547
Remember, augusta Fernandes won it, and then I you sure it's not 22 when he crashed out a second in the ring, I think it was at this very same shot.
00:14:35.547 --> 00:14:37.111
I'm sure it was 22.
00:14:37.782 --> 00:14:40.450
I'll be right, because he was injured a lot in 23, right.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.307
Yeah, it was 22.
00:14:43.307 --> 00:15:05.995
I can double check um, and and just to confirm who that, what year it was, let's double check that, because I'm not missing a year 2022 um was agusta fernandez Agour finished second in 2022.
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:07.663
So we shouldn't okay.
00:15:07.663 --> 00:15:09.490
So then he came in the 23 injured.
00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:15.090
Okay, yeah, you're correct, Because he came into 2023 injured, right, and he finished ninth.
00:15:15.090 --> 00:15:19.993
Yeah, yeah, so it's 2022 when he fumbled it.
00:15:19.993 --> 00:15:23.389
He came into 2023 with injuries and that just didn't work out.
00:15:24.150 --> 00:15:24.312
Yeah.
00:15:24.946 --> 00:15:30.524
And that's when he moved from Team Asia to Basque Skira, to MTI MS.
00:15:30.807 --> 00:15:32.927
MTI, mtl, mit, I think.
00:15:32.966 --> 00:15:37.323
It says MTL Mit Last year, last year, and won it on the Basque Skira.
00:15:37.323 --> 00:15:47.028
And remember what I was saying to you, right, that I like the riders, that I like the non-calix riders in Moto2.
00:15:47.028 --> 00:15:56.423
Reason being usually, if you could ride a non-calix, it means you're good.
00:15:59.171 --> 00:15:59.370
Yeah.
00:16:00.140 --> 00:16:03.261
Because the thing is with the calix right, I think.
00:16:03.261 --> 00:16:09.355
I guess now the basket score is closer, but it was at some point when you just needed to be in a calyx, you don't?
00:16:09.395 --> 00:16:24.636
you could be average yeah, because I mean, let's be honest, the um pedro acosta won the 20 last the 2023 championship 2023, yeah so it was 2022 agor, because I because I remember Aguara.
00:16:24.738 --> 00:16:26.399
Yeah, he's just he needed.
00:16:26.541 --> 00:16:35.509
He was in second place in the race and I think it was at this same track, thailand, and it was raining and he crashed no it was?
00:16:35.589 --> 00:16:37.554
it was Malaysia.
00:16:37.817 --> 00:16:41.309
Malaysia and he crashed out and he crashed out and lost the championship.
00:16:41.309 --> 00:16:50.332
So I mean, as you said, not many people get that opportunity again to even go back to try to win it after such a massive mistake from his part.
00:16:50.332 --> 00:17:08.909
But you look at the performance over the weekend, you know, his performance kind of made me look silly with my early season prediction because I was saying yo, that Apria didn't look good at all, and I even said the same thing about the KTM.
00:17:08.909 --> 00:17:12.428
I pretty much said, like you know, I think the KTM was worse than the Honda.
00:17:12.428 --> 00:17:15.509
But that wasn't the case this weekend.
00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:21.249
But at the same time I could be proven right going forward, because this could just be an anomaly.
00:17:23.228 --> 00:17:23.778
And that's the problem.
00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:38.768
And because during the crash, you you didn't, you couldn't really get a a true feel for it yeah, because the the best um japanese finisher was, it was jack miller, wasn't it jack miller?
00:17:38.768 --> 00:17:44.990
Jack miller, he was the best japanese bike finisher, and so boy, boy, boy, shoving a bit of umbilical pie down your throat.
00:17:44.990 --> 00:17:46.365
But early seasons.
00:17:46.604 --> 00:17:47.400
No early season.
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:48.349
Jack's gonna beat Jack.
00:17:48.349 --> 00:17:50.939
You know what I mean Because look what he did in the sprint yesterday.
00:17:50.939 --> 00:17:54.846
He crashed he crashed out of the sprint yesterday, didn't he?
00:17:54.846 --> 00:18:02.142
So Jack is gonna do Jack Miller things At some point in the season, so I'm not even worried about Him Right now.
00:18:02.142 --> 00:18:08.884
Because even worried about him right now because I just know he's gonna do what he normally does and just fumbles and crashes and all some madness.
00:18:09.144 --> 00:18:16.959
So yeah, yeah, so, yeah, so, um, yeah, still an igra he.
00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:29.688
He carried the flag for for for a pretty on track house this weekend not just exactly because you know, I mean, and he's on a satellite bike, he's not even on the full factory bike.
00:18:30.148 --> 00:18:30.710
I'm sitting here.
00:18:31.070 --> 00:18:56.582
I'm sitting here, sitting not not really surprised, because I know he's got the talent right but anyone that says that they predicted he was to be there is lying, of course no one looked at that apria in testing or even practice and said, yeah, they're going to be up there no, no, no, not that prayer.
00:18:56.701 --> 00:18:57.503
People did look at it.
00:18:57.503 --> 00:19:03.521
People looked at bezeki at the second test yeah, but remember what they also said.
00:19:04.203 --> 00:19:09.306
You know, bezeki kind of likes this track and their prayer tends to go well at this track.
00:19:09.425 --> 00:19:10.910
But so that's what I'm saying.
00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:21.070
So, based on that, you're thinking it was going to be bezeki who was going to carry that torch true, but he crashed out.
00:19:21.070 --> 00:19:39.070
He crashed out in the sprint for sure, but man, I agree with us came in on tour of the form book yep right and, and I'm enjoying it right, I'm enjoying it.
00:19:40.294 --> 00:19:43.481
Um, let me see who else.
00:19:43.481 --> 00:19:50.173
It was just one of the ones where it was like Mark came out the gate, hot.
00:19:50.173 --> 00:19:56.465
Alex came out the gate, super hot.
00:19:56.465 --> 00:19:58.170
Marbidelli messed up Peco's lap.
00:19:58.170 --> 00:19:59.613
It was just a lot of things going on.
00:20:04.582 --> 00:20:10.892
I think the three standout people this weekend were the front two and agor I can't pronounce his name properly iagor iagor.
00:20:10.892 --> 00:20:16.705
Those are the three standout people this weekend did you know that this weekend, maverick?
00:20:18.128 --> 00:20:18.670
I didn't know that.
00:20:18.670 --> 00:20:24.511
Coming into the weekend, maverick vinales at a 30th Street direct Q2 appearance.
00:20:26.857 --> 00:20:30.946
Yeah, but okay, you have that record and then what you do on a Sunday?
00:20:30.946 --> 00:20:39.287
You end up just going back to being typical Maverick Vinales Disappointing, absolutely disappointing.
00:20:39.287 --> 00:20:39.801
He was.
00:20:39.801 --> 00:20:47.626
I think he was the worst of all the KTMs Absolute disappointing.
00:20:49.501 --> 00:20:53.086
So you know Well, at least he stayed on it.
00:20:54.048 --> 00:21:03.069
Well, true, but again, pedro Acosta obviously referring to him, that's been his problem all along Can't stay on the bike.
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:03.932
What was it?
00:21:03.932 --> 00:21:08.833
He had 28 crashes last year, 28.
00:21:08.833 --> 00:21:19.584
You can't do that and I guarantee you, if he does that this year on the factory bike, my man might lose his ride, pedro.
00:21:20.446 --> 00:21:20.807
Acosta.
00:21:20.807 --> 00:21:23.737
Yeah, nah, come on, man, nah you telling me they're going to persist.
00:21:23.757 --> 00:21:36.099
Pedro Acosta, yeah, nah come on man, nah you telling me they're going to persist with a guy who crashed 28 times last year on a satellite bike and then comes on the factory bike and does the same thing again, especially given their financial situation?
00:21:36.781 --> 00:21:39.388
I don't think, I don't think he's going to lose his ride.
00:21:39.388 --> 00:21:41.838
Well, okay, mano loses his ride.
00:21:42.181 --> 00:21:47.209
But they're going to have to start to look at him seriously and think is this guy ready for this?
00:00:09.464 --> 00:00:11.926
00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:35.158
00:00:35.158 --> 00:00:39.728
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.862
00:00:42.862 --> 00:00:44.646
00:00:44.646 --> 00:00:44.947
00:00:44.947 --> 00:00:55.003
00:00:55.003 --> 00:00:58.491
00:00:59.213 --> 00:01:01.868
00:01:01.868 --> 00:01:03.146
00:01:03.146 --> 00:01:03.970
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:06.965
00:01:06.965 --> 00:01:09.686
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:20.924
00:01:20.924 --> 00:01:33.489
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:45.810
00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:50.570
00:01:50.570 --> 00:01:53.293
00:01:53.293 --> 00:01:56.566
00:01:56.587 --> 00:01:57.609
00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:07.231
00:02:07.231 --> 00:02:13.259
00:02:14.082 --> 00:02:23.335
00:02:23.335 --> 00:02:25.423
00:02:25.443 --> 00:02:33.483
00:02:33.483 --> 00:02:36.049
00:02:36.049 --> 00:02:39.902
00:02:39.902 --> 00:02:41.224
00:02:41.585 --> 00:03:08.159
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:24.039
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:24.822
00:03:24.822 --> 00:03:25.724
00:03:25.724 --> 00:03:29.302
00:03:29.302 --> 00:03:36.254

00:04:34.084 --> 00:04:38.552
00:04:38.552 --> 00:04:45.324
00:04:45.365 --> 00:04:45.846
