Morbidelli is the 4th first-time winner in only six races so far this year, after Quartararo, Binder and Oliveira, what a fun season :cheer: 

 

And first podium for Bagnaia as well :cheer:

Oh and Darryn Binder doing what Darryn Binder does. I'd say unbelievable, but it's Darryn Binder.

Big news for Polish bike racing as Piotr Biesiekirski will fill in for Jesko Raffin at the NTS team in Misano this weekend. Poland hasn't had a racer this high in the FIM ladder since former Superbike/Supersport veteran Pawel Szkopek ca. 10 years ago. Lukasz Wargala had a two-weekend cameo back in 2011 Moto2 but that was right around when Moto2 saw Russian guys competing as well immediately after the 250cc/Moto2 transfer which enabled some third tier riders to get in the mix with fields ca. 40 riders total.

I feel a little sorry for Biesiekirski. He's being thrown into Moto2 at the very worst team with the very worst bike where they desperately try to avoid kicking out Bo Bendsneyder (much as it pains me to say, he is just not showing any promise anymore), today he was over 5 and over 4 seconds behind the fastest time in the training sessions - some context: the second-to-last rider was within 2 seconds.

 

I hope he can improve on the sick/injured Raffin's poor performances and I really hope riding in these poor conditions won't lower his chances for a better future. Go Piotr :d

Raffin was struck down with fatigue earlier this season, this seems similar to what derailed Jonas Folger's career few years ago.

 

Yeah, NTS is crap allthough they scored some points in the last couple of seasons. Bendsneyder was 11th in Qatar which showed promise but they are back to their worst ever since the season resumed. Obviously it's a high step for Piotr, it would be great if he could keep up with Kasma Daniel in the race ( I mean to be within like 5-10 seconds of him).

What did the NTS bikes have for fuel today? :yikes: 

 

Bendsneyder 9th and 8th in FP1 and FP2 out of absolutely nowhere and Biesiekirski has almost found the back of the first guys in front of him :cheer: 

 

No way Bendsneyder keeps this up in the weekend, but I have high hopes for Biesiekirski to move up a position or two.

Bendsneyder was 14th on the grid here last year so above average for NTS.

 

Catalunya is usually a crash-fest for bikes due to these sweeping bends that take away the grip so let's see if BB picks up a rare point just by staying upright. I wouldn't rule this out tbh.

A crash-fest circuit for bikes. Right, I'm not even going to wait with crossing out Darryn Binder and Sam Lowes on my bingo card.

    • Yeah, same here, this weekend definitely doesn't have nothing     I mean, so far I've seen lots of racing with cars, motorbikes and regular bikes, college football highlights, ski jumping, mountainbike and so on. But the most important thing of the weekend for me (MotoGP/2/3) being in the early morning is lovely because it opens up the day so much     And yeah, Christmas is usually fun to take a look on Flashscore.com, especially the first day is the one day in the entire year where the whole page is almost entirely empty, with only a bit of football in very few muslim-majority countries  
    • Wow! 5 goals in less than 3 minutes for  so 3rd place for them.   4th place.      7 - 1 
    • Wish I could say the same, for me it’s rare when there’s a day that there’s absolutely nothing on for me to watch There’s even stuff on Christmas (NBA and NFL), although usually in the days leading up to it there’s less sporting events going on. 
    • Gravel world championships     And ski jumping Summer Grand Prix, just finished catching up on an insane season of Red Bull Rookies Cup, still lots of NASCAR to catch up with and with this weekend being a bit of a slow one in terms of live sports (and the MotoGP/2/3 things being in Japan and so being done and dusted by 9am my time), it's so far been a weekend with lots of catching up

    • Just finished watching the Gauff-Muchova final at the China Open, and I’ll be watching both the men’s and women’s finals at the GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge, but here’s what else I’ll be watching (or at least trying to watch) the next two weeks.    BWF Denmark Open, ATP Shanghai Masters, WTA Wuhan/Ningbo Open, FIVB Elite 16 Joao Pessoa, FIFA U17 Women’s Football World Cup (lesser priority, the knockout stage matches are in late October to early November), European Table Tennis Championships (lesser priority), FIS Ski/Snowboard Big Air WC Chur, UCI Track Cycling World Championships, WA Swimming WC Shanghai, NBA/NFL/NHL, any semi big curling events that I can find streaming for, any club season volleyball matches that I can find streaming for (some are on VBTV which helps but this season my teams are Gas Sales Blunergy Piacenza, Vero Volley Monza, Vakıfbank, Eczacıbaşı, Asseco Resovia), 3X3 Basketball World Tour Amsterdam/Macau (lesser priority and no group stage matches, only knockout if I have time and I’m not feeling too fatigued)   Edit: There’s also the Archery and Triathlon WC Finals, damn there’s a lot going on.
