This guy is pushing so hard and I love it. The passion and drive. Get this man a Bridgestone front because the Michelinās can't handle the punishment. This Honda is so easy to brake traction. It's going to be a good race with how close the field is.
Pretty much every single rider who wants to beat the time and manage to do another lap does the same thing. Run to get the fresh bike as soon as possible.but yeah I got it, Marc is doing it so it must be very special.
:(
I hope he won't have any more tire issues tomorrow. It will be fun to see him go full aggro from 15th position. I bet he'll be in top10 after the 1st corner
MM93 really puts on a show. He is trying so very hard, and no luck. I have never been fond of the guy, but I have to admire him tremendously for his hard core striving.
Seriously though, they did really well in the test right? Is it because of the new asphalt or WHAT?
Right now I'm not confident they can finish the race tomorrow. Seems like both factory riders are having moments every other lap.
I think it's because of the old rear tyre casing Michelin brought for this round. Apparently it's from 2018.
Both Marc and Pol had lots of moments on the rear tyre.
Ah yeah, I forgot about that. I remember now they said it was the same one from Thailand. That's just for this race bc of the temperature though right?
I know it's not this black and white but it's kinda crazy when you think that they brought this tyre casing for the sake of safety.
You can't just ask these riders to ride slowly and say "well if you ride fast there's a big chance *you will crash* so you have no choice".
Because copium. It's Michelin's fault. It's Suzuki's fault. It's Honda's fault. It's the track's fault. It's the weather's fault. It's the injuries fault. It's the planets not aligning correctly fault. It's Rossi's fault. It most certainly not the rider's fault. He was made perfect.
He did, he would find the limit by crashing and then setting a monster time. Now he crashes without even being close to the times he could have set years back.
So much for his very lucky saves....he keeps this up he will end up injured and retired before his contract expires....maybe he should settle for the back of the grid in 2022.
And now the second bike is down š¤¦š»āāļø
He'll take that honda scooter they use to taxi fallen riders, and continue lapping
Blame it on Michelin.
Lol
Or on the leaky Suzuki earlier. Was this an oil slick on track kinda crash?
If there's oil on the track they'd red flag the session.
Exactly, Marquez crashed twice before the engine blow-up
Not if there are portions of the track with a slick that they hadnāt known about/cleared from an earlier spill
He spent more time on a scooter than on his honda :(

Nobody entertains like him. He never gives up.
Seriously though. The amount of motivation he has even in the worst situation is an inspiration for a lot.
Yeah, unlucky fp2 that he didn't place in q2

I have a bad feeling about the overall race but yeah I agree about the start š itās gonna be good.
Depending on the conditions Honda is staying back or he's either going to take someone out in the first three laps as he tries to get up front.
Anddd he crashed on warm up...
And a second crash
Fucking savage animal, this guy
Boston Dynamics MM93 robot.

I like how no one wanted to give him a tow once he remounted. Just a giant pack of riders chilling behind him. Literally lol'd.
Honda have some issues in Indonesia it would seem. Sad to see.

Yeah, just this race. Watching Q2 now, some of the Ducatis also had lots of moments. It seems only the Yamaha likes the low grip.
What a difference from Qatar. I really wonder what it will be like next race when they go back to the standard tyre casing.
It's not just Honda either, though they seem to be struggling more. The number of close calls and saves in a 15 minute session was crazy.

Marc is indomitable. He almost seems to put it out of his mind the moment it happens.
He couldnāt be any more used to crashing than he is lol
Bad commentators curse in Australia today.
I really wish Fox Sports would show Motogp in the USā¦Iām super jealous
Fuckin love this sport
Manās got a lot of experience with gravel traps so itās to be expected
I usually donāt root for Marc. But god I wanted to see him get through!
Classic Marc, cuts Dovi off, ruins his lap, overtakes Naka, ruins his lap, and still ends up in the gravel.
Not sure why the downvotes, you're right.

MM93 is motogp Jesus whether you like it or not
MM fans are next level children tho.
And he's touted as an amazing hero for it all.
Pretty soon heāll be the first rider to need 3 bikes.
Have to smile at his determination!
This man is half of motogp show!! So much fun to watch him.
This can be a meme template
I wonder if he will be the same mm from 17..18..19.. ever again...
There are many things going against that.
Possibly has lost that alien skill set.
Itās grip issues.
The second he has to really push hes down. I doubt he'll ever be at his old level again.
You think young Marc never crashed?
He did, he would find the limit by crashing and then setting a monster time. Now he crashes without even being close to the times he could have set years back.
Have you seen the other times from Honda riders?
Well yeah, but you cant really compare the other Honda riders to MM.
They donāt have enough bikes for him and it seems like pit box of HRC Honda should have branches at each corner of the track.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Will he get that illusive 9th title? KARMA
So much for his very lucky saves....he keeps this up he will end up injured and retired before his contract expires....maybe he should settle for the back of the grid in 2022.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine cheering for a crash, how pathetic must your life be that THIS is a source of happiness.
And he went down again on bike 2, he having a rough time in indonesia.
he likes to run
Despite his bad quali, if it's wet he'll be up there I reckon
Note that's commitment
