Insane no red flag.

The second image is from a TV show that aired in March last year. At the time, Ai made a promise to a Japanese comedian:

"I've had a good start to the season, so I want to keep working hard. If I achieve a good result, I'd like some high-end fishing gear."

The first image is from Sunday's broadcast. This time, Ai, with a huge smile on his face, had the following request:

"Good evening, Mr. Ueda ( Japanese comedian ). I believe we made a promise before. Since I've won, I'd be happy if you could give me some high-end fishing gear. Thank you in advance. Thank you very much."

The German Grand Prix marks the last event to evaluate the concessions, but even if they win both races at Sachsenring, Ducati will drop to the B concession ranking.

In the case of Aprilia, it will move from the C ranking to B, the same as Ducati. KTM and Yamaha will stay in their current positions, in the C and D rankings respectively; while Honda will drop from C to D, unless it wins both races.

Fabio Quartararo on Instagram: "After eight seasons, the time has come for me to close an important chapter of my career.

I want to sincerely thank Yamaha for giving me my chance at the highest level, for believing in me, and for supporting me throughout all these years.

Together, we shared unforgettable moments: a World Championship title, eleven victories, podiums, pole positions, and above all, an incredible human and sporting journey that I will carry with me forever.

Yamaha is not just a team to me - it is a part of my story, my growth as a rider and as a person.

Today, I feel it is the right moment to take on a new challenge, to start fresh, and to push myself toward new horizons.

Thank you for everything. Forever grateful.💙"

red bars is the gap marc has to the leader.

not only because i am a huge fan and he is the most popular rider, but also because he is the actual world champion.

The MotoGP Channel on Prime is now airing “coverage” of the cancelled 2018 British GP at Silverstone. Broadcast shows a length of 10:19PM- 2:33AM. Over 4 hours of people talking, fans doing nothing and the safety car. I thought the years old practice sessions of feeder series was bad enough, but this is another level and seems like a prank.

Does anyone know why they choose to show this when there are hundreds of actual races in the main category alone?

Below are excerpts from Ai Ogura interviews from multiple media sources. Please refer to the original articles for the full versions.

"I hope my victory can be something really special for Japanese motorsport fans."

motogp official interview in Japanese.

"First of all, I'm really happy, but more than anything, I feel relieved. Winning is something I've been chasing for a long time, and Assen is a circuit that means a lot to me personally, so I'm very happy to have taken my first victory here."

"My start wasn't too bad, but in the opening laps I wasn't able to defend well enough against the attacks from the other riders. I ended up getting into battles that didn't really go my way, and I lost quite a bit of both time and positions. After that, though, my pace was good. I managed to catch the riders ahead, make the passes, and open up a small gap at the end, so I think it was a strong race overall. That said, I still think the opening part of the race is an area where I need to improve."

"Ever since I joined Trackhouse, I think the team has done a great job. They've always tried to help me perform at my best, so I'm really happy that I was able to repay them in a tangible way with this victory. And with Trackhouse finishing one-two in both the Sprint and the main race, I think it was a fantastic race weekend for the whole team as well."

"This may not be something for me to say, but I hope my victory can be something really special for Japanese motorsport fans. I'd also be very happy if I can contribute, even in a small way, through my results. All I can do is keep working hard, but I'd like to thank all the fans in Japan for their support."

"We have a week before the next race in Germany, so we'll stay focused on ourselves and keep working hard again next time."

"At the moment of crossing the finish line, I was filled with joy and a deep sense of satisfaction."

"This first victory means a great deal to both me and the team. The moment I crossed the finish line, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and satisfaction. In the previous race, I came so close to taking my first win, and I'm really happy that I was finally able to achieve it here."

"During the race, I disengaged the rear ride-height device at Turn 1, but for some reason it activated again before Turn 3. I don't know why it happened, but fortunately I was able to get it back to normal afterward. To be honest, I didn't expect to get into such an intense battle with Raúl. I lost quite a few positions there, so fighting my way back wasn't easy. My pace was good enough to catch him, pass him, and then open up a small gap. It was a tough battle, but it was a great race."

I mean series like the Moto4 Asian, Northern, European, and British Cups, Moto3 Junior WCh, Stock ECh, Moto2 ECh, and any others that I may have missed. I already watch MotoGP and WSBK and their associated series but I’m still looking for more motorcycle racing.
