I posted that thread title with a really cool sounding Brazilian accent just so you know. ;)

Here we go to round 2 and what we have is not exactly what we expect.
Other than me who predicted Pedro and KTM would be leading the points??? Huh? Anyone..? :teeth

We’re off to a real a good start to '26 in my opinion and now the show is headed to Brazil for the first time since Pedro was in diapers.
So that mean... none of the racers have any GP experience on the track. Like it. Equal footing

Only Acosta seems to be able to put the KTM on the point, but Binder is not far off. Hope to see him join the scrum.

Of course Marc is going to be one of the favorites, because he is fucking one of the best of all time and still has the talent and the fight to win again.

Aprilia... yes the amazing machine that has sucked some good air of the Ducati.

Now that is pretty sic. The bikes are sic the riders top notch and it is fun to feel that from this point forward they can really win at almost any track.
Can Martin pull back to #1 Apeman?? Not sure. Bez is pretty badass. The Trackhouse Boys are rocking well too.

The other Ducati's.. meh really not interested in talking about them. :laughing
Like always 1/2 dozen can be on the podium and at least 1/2 of that can be a threat to win. Marc, Digi and Alex in my mind, but maybe Pecco can clear his head or Frankie's great great Grandmothers ghost can will him on. (All I know is Frankie has Brazilian roots... no clue if it really is his G-Ma or what).

Super Rook from '25 (Fermin Aldeguer) is back so not so super sub won't be pissing off the other Duc boys.

Honda.. OH YEAH!!!
I am feeling me some HRC and if feels pretty damn good.
May as well start with a real Brazilian rookie Diogo Moreira. That is right... he has some track knowledge! Doh!

Diogo talks the talk <- Not sure you have to have a membership to watch.

He was solid in his debut. Maybe a little home town good shizzle will help him a long to a top 10. Points in his first weekend with LCR.
All the Honda guys did OK and Mir was double OK until shit happened. I am crossing my fingers he is feeling his mojo.


And Yamaha.
You have probably heard of their Piano's. News to some is they make motorcycles too.
I cannot even think of anything funny to say about them. Toprak showed well hanging out with much more experience MotoGP riders on his first go.
Love some Fabio, would love to see Rins rewarded for all of his injury battles.. and Jack.. Fuck yeah M8. Love the guy.


Let the Party Begin

Bez gonna show some talent, and Paco too, but MM93 is still the bouncer in MotoGp! I can't even keep track of Moto 3, lol.
 
marc has historically been one of the best at quickly adapting to new conditions. new track that goes his direction? oh yeah :D
 
Marc indeed has shown his prowess at commanding new tracks. Hard to bet against him. However their are now aeroplanes on the grid to challenge him.

Sure enjoy Mat's work

Well crappola.

By circumstance I have been watching the History Channel documentary on the Indonesian Tsunami / Earthquake that happened in 2004. :wow


This does not look as bad. :teeth
 
Track looks pretty cool. Good to see Simon still doing the media flyer! :thumbup

Been raining. FP1 coming up!
 
Time to find out who is going straight to Q2.
Rain seems immanent.
 
Well shucks boy howdy... some surprises in the session!!!!!!!!

Flip some shit on its head!!! :wow
 
All them birds were throwing down worms for sure.
A couple birds literally threw down their shot at the worms.

I found the whole session entertaining and oddly awesome.

Looking forward to more awesome.

Thinking Marc for the Sprint and The Martinator in the GP with a break thru ride.
 
I love this photo. Just look how French Zarco truly is. The man takes top spot on Friday, going straight to Q2, but still suffers existential angst:

Seems like the return has been difficult.
 
Qualifying had some surprises. Good to see the Frenchman on the Piano have a good go.

Sighting lap. Let's get it on!!!! :banana
 
My prediction is on pace. Somebody has to turn a Bronze Medal to the top of the box.
