For those who wants to blame Álex on the incident, Marc just explained it. They didn't see. none of them see each other.

Álex had his head turned to the other side, probably another turn. Pecco is leaning, and apparently with that much leaning angle it's difficult to see. he's also in front.

Who is to blame it this? Both and none. Álex just lost his bike and Pecco was in the wrong place wrong moment. he could have given Álex more room, but as the next turn is right there, he also wanted to have the best line. Nothing to be there.

So stop blaming one or the other and be glad they both walked away

just saw this picture on one of those dudebro motogp accounts on twitter and. i have thoughts

Unfortunately Pecco is allowed to cut a rider like that. It's a dirty move, but it's allowed.

Bro stfu how is that in any way Alex's fault??? Where tf was he meant to go when Pecco takes a line like that???

What speaks for a Le Mans start?

Sebastian Vettel could compete in Le Mans with Porsche as early as 2024. The former Formula 1 world champion impressed in the first test. There are increasing signs of a racing comeback for the German. Porsche has postponed the planned announcement of the driver pairing of the third car for Le Mans.

Sebastian Vettel was abstinent for fifteen months. Apart from a few demonstration laps in a Williams FW14B at Silverstone and a Red Bull RB7 at the Nürburgring, the four-time world champion stayed away from the race track, but the thoroughbred racing driver regularly admitted that he misses racing. That's why his name was mentioned again and again when an attractive door opened-or seemed to open-in Formula 1, just like at Mercedes next year. The transfer of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari frees up a cockpit at Mercedes, and of course Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff and Vettel were already in contact. The Heppenheimer also has his eye on the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with Porsche. On March 21st, Vettel took part in the roll-out test of the third Le Mans car in Weissach. The 36-year-old shared the cockpit with Porsche works driver Laurens Vanthoor. The Belgian drove two stints of twenty laps each, after which Vettel took over the Porsche hypercar for several runs between ten and fifteen laps.

Vettel fast straight away

According to information from our sister magazine, Motorsport aktuell, Vettel was on the same lap time level as Vanthoor after just fifteen laps. First conclusion: Vettel was immediately competitive at raw speed, and he also impressed with good feedback. The second stage of the test plan was then initiated: Vettel and five other works drivers will take part in a 36-hour test at the Spanish Motorland Aragón racetrack from March 25th to 27th, which was planned as preparation for Le Mans. The test is intended to evaluate how the 53-time GP winner copes with the 700 hp LMDh car in the dark. Vettel wants to use the test to find out whether the LMDh class cars will rekindle the fire in him. With a curb weight of 1,030 kilograms, the hybrid racers are significantly heavier than a Formula 1 car and have less power, but with hybrid technology and biofuel, they fit into the green world view of the man in the cockpit. The first impression behind the wheel of the Porsche 963 already left a clear mark on the thoroughbred racing driver from Heppenheim: "I'm looking forward to testing the Porsche and have already had the opportunity to get to know the car a little in Weissach. I've always had other racing series, and my curiosity for long distances encouraged me to just give it a try. Now I'm excited about the endurance run in Aragón and am looking forward to my time behind the wheel. It will definitely take some adjustment and some getting used to, but the whole team is very open and helps me with that. We'll see what happens next. At the moment there are no further plans for the future."

Porsche postpones driver announcement

After that, at the latest, a decision must be made as to whether Vettel will be included in Porsche's Le Mans squad. The Penske team will compete at Le Mans in 2024 with three cars: the two WEC cars plus an additional 963, which so far only has Mathieu Jaminet named. The original plan was for Jaminet to share the Porsche with Felipe Nasr and Nick Tandy. The trio should have been confirmed this week on Thursday, March 28, but that announcement was postponed. This suggests that there is a real chance that Vettel could still jump on the Le Mans bandwagon. The Heppenheimer is still keeping the ball low: "We'll see how things continue. At the moment there are no further plans for the future." Theoretically, it would be possible for Vettel to contest one of the two World Championship races in Imola or Spa, although not with the works cars, but with the two customer teams, Proton Competition or Jota Hertz Racing. Vettel would obviously like to drive a test race because this is the only way to optimally prepare for a race at Le Mans. As expected, there is no doubt about Vettel in terms of driving, but a test race would allow him to get a feel for the demanding traffic situation in endurance racing, where the fast hypercar top cars share the track with the much slower GT3 cars.

Further Porsche tests possible

Because of the great competition in the field, the sports prototypes are now the second most attractive racing series in the world. In Aragon, Vettel also gets to know the competition straight away. It's not just Porsche that is preparing for Le Mans. Alpine with Mick Schumacher has also registered on the Spanish route. If everything goes well, Vettel could complete a third test soon: Porsche will drive in Spa on April 5th and 6th, and there is also the possibility of another 36-hour test on April 10th and 11th at the French track Le Castellet, even if Porsche has not yet officially registered for the test. The decision on a Le Mans start must be made by mid-April at the latest. The Porsche board is said to be enthusiastic about the idea of ​​Vettel driving with Porsche at Le Mans as early as 2024.

Porsche against seven manufacturers

The Stuttgart team won the first race of the season in Qatar with the 963. The WEC is enjoying particular attention this year because eight manufacturers are represented: Porsche, Ferrari, Toyota, Peugeot, BMW, Cadillac, Alpine and Lamborghini. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is even more than usual one of the big motorsport highlights of the year. Another large car company, Aston Martin, is expected to join in 2025. There are persistent rumors about a McLaren entry. For Porsche, Vettel's testing is a prestigious experience. The example of Alonso at Toyota and Hülkenberg at Porsche shows what advertising value the deployment of a Formula 1 driver on foreign terrain can have. Thomas Laudenbach, Head of Porsche Motorsport, is pleased that the former champion is showing interest in Porsche's long-distance activities: "There was no question for us that we would be happy to support his request for a test opportunity and provide him with extensive preparation and sufficient time. We can certainly learn a lot from his valuable feedback. Our 36-hour endurance run with our factory drivers in Motorland Aragón offers a perfect environment for this."

At this point Bagnaia can't say it's a grip issue. The grid was clean and no other rider seem to have that much trouble. At this point he needs to recognize he has made a mistake over and over again

2024-es MotoGP szezon: 42 verseny 9 hónapon keresztül

A MotoGP 2024-es szezonja új mérföldkőhöz érkezik. A 9 hónap alatt 42 futamot rendeznek a 21 nagydíjon. Ez a MotoGP történetének leghosszabb szezonja lesz. Az idei magas versenyszám magában foglalja a Sprint futamokat is, amelyek 2023-ban debütáltak. Idén 44 futam lett volna, ha korábban nem törlik el az Argentin Nagydíjat. Ebben a szezonban lép be a Kazahsztáni Nagydíj is, amelyet az új Sokol International Circuit pályán rendeznek meg. A GP-re június 14-16. között kerül sor. A MotoGP 2024-es szezonja a hagyományoknak megfelelően idén is a Katari GP-vel kezdődik a Lusail International Circuit-en, amelynek futamain már ezen a hétvégén, március 8-10. között szurkolhatunk. A júliusi N��met GP után a szokásos háromhetes nyári szünet következik, majd augusztusban újraindul a bajnokság az Egyesült Királyságban. A MotoGP malajziai fordulójára november 1-3. között kerül sor, majd a szezon a valenciai GP-vel zárul a Circuit Ricardo Tormón. Érdekes lesz látni, hogyan alakul a szezon, tekintve, hogy a versenyzők és a csapatok már tavaly is panaszkodtak a túl sok versenyre. Sok versenyző is hiányzott a fő futamokról a sprint versenyeken összeszedett sérülések miatt. https://csajokamotoron.hu/francesco-bagnaia-megerositette-motogp-vilagbajnoki-cimet/ Ami a világbajnoki küzdelmet illeti, háromesélyes összecsapásnak lehetünk szemtanúi a kétszeres címvédő Francesco (Pecco) Bagnaia, Jorge Martin és a korábbi hatszoros MotoGP-bajnok Marc Marquez között. Mindhárman Ducati gépekkel versenyeznek, amelyek a legjobb motorok ebben a bajnokságban. Martin a 2023-as szezonban végig Bagnaia legközelebbi vetélytársa volt, és a bajnoki cím csak az utolsó fordulóban dőlt el. Eközben Marc Marquez a 2020-as sérülése óta a legjobb fizikai állapotban van, amellett, hogy elhagyja a Hondát, amely nehézségekkel küzd. Rajtuk kívül Bagnaia csapattársa, Enea Bastianini is szerepet játszhat a bajnoki cím eldöntésében, ha nem küzd ő is a trónért. MotoGP Versenynaptár 2024 Március - 8-10.

The world champion are fighting, but it's for P8 and just 2 points.

[42bakery]

We are about to witness history, a Yamaha overtaking a Ducati. Go Fabio

[42bakery]

Stop the replays. Each one is worst than the last one

[42bakery]

Why is Viñales the last one? How the hell do you screw so much that you end behind the Hondas? BEHIND THE HONDAS

[42bakery]

He had fun. Except he has issues with the rear break and he had to go slow.

Honda only allowed him to do 5-6 laps, despite Crivi wanted to do more. He was reminded that he was in a museum bike and that they didn't have any spare parts. So he wasn't allowed to go too fast or hard. U think he mentioned he didn't have the confidence (break plus dirty track) to put the knee down, despite he wanted to do that.

As a Crivi fan, I think you would like to know this. Except the boots and gloves, all the gear he was wearing for his lap was the same he used when he was racing (not sure if the year he retired or the same as he won the championship).

Anyway just saying that Crivi is still as fit as when he was racing and he still loves it as much as back then

HELLOOOO ??????? we love one fit sexy king <3333 i’m so upset that my tv didn’t broadcast his lap but i hope he has a lot of fun on track <3333

Okay so apparently the riders sponsored by the Pont Group will change their helmet desigs for the Aragón GP/Aragón Round

They are changing the Pont Group logo in their helmets for the logo of an NGOs to give visibility to the cause.

Pedro's NGO of choice is AFACMUR Foundation which is and NGO from Murcia that helps families against the kids cancer.

Sergio's NGO of choice is Mamás en acción (Moms in action), which is a NGGO from Castellon (Valencia community. They help kids in hospital by spending time with the kids that either don't have families or they can't be there for them.

David's NGO of choice is Carros de fuego (cars out of fire (not really sure the translation here, sorry)), which is a NGO form Sevilla (Andalusia). They promotes de social inclusion of kids with functional diversity thanks to the adapted sport.

José Antonio's NGO of choice is the Andalucia fragile X syndrome Foundation which is from Andalusia. They want the integration of people affected by fragile X Syndrome. He was introduced to this foundation by a fan, and after learning what they do, and Pont talked about this he know he had to wear their logo

This is what we know so far from this beautiful initiavive.

[42bakery]

Fabio is so done with the bike that he isn't even looking at it

[42bakery]

Do we have an update on Álex? Because last I heard he was in pain in the legs (he also was trapped under his own bike and sandwiched in between both bikes).

[42bakery]

I wish Suzuki was still around because Mapping 2 meant fun times and overtakes. but Suzuki is gone and now the KTM aren't going to challenge the Ducatis

[42bakery]

@aragongp how does it feel to have the best track on the world as your favourite? Because I'm thriving at the mement
