HighwayStar2009 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This weekends MotoGP race in Portugal had several yellow flags & then after a 2 rider crash they red flagged the race!!!!! I don't think it was necessary. Both riders & bikes were off the track & no one seriously injured. Announcers commented that they felt for Alex Marquez, as he could have possibly made the podium. Conspiracy: Ducati & money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted November 8, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted November 8, 2021 I believe the red flag was because the two crashed KTM riders were in the impact zone off turn 13, one being put on a stretcher. I think if there was a conspiracy to deny Marquez, it would be for Marc, not Alex! Good race, 2022 could be epic with Bagnaia, Fabio, Marquez and maybe Mir all fighting up front.

Please stop with your logic and rational thought. There are conspiracy theories that need to be memed and pushed out on social media 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted November 9, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted November 9, 2021 Well, there must be reason why 30 armed FBI agents with weapons drawn raided Ducati HQ last year. Couldn't possibly be due to them smuggling undeclared salami hidden in bike crates.... https://www.visordown.com/news/general/fbi-raided-ducati-north-america-hq-december Then guy that reported the raid got fired... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh c'mon Danno, that was nothing more serious than fraud, graft and tax evasion. And it was North America. Had nothing to do with undermining Alex Marquez in Portugal. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Philois1984 Posted November 10, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted November 10, 2021 I don’t see a problem with half a dozen track marshals standing in the gravel trap attending to injured and possibly unconscious riders while twenty odd motorcycles hurtle by at 250kmh plus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted November 10, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted November 10, 2021 At racing speeds, space/time continuum gets warped. Gravity around crash is increased exponentially, drawing you towards it. With two riders down, the increased draw is irresistable like black-hole!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
