2025 Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar

Marquez said that initially he thought Vinales was Pedro Acosta; an understandable mistake given the similarities between the factory KTM team's livery and that of the Tech3 KTM team.

“It was a big surprise when Maverick [Vinales] overtook me – at one time I thought it was Acosta because normally he is the fastest KTM, but then when I saw it was Maverick it was a great surprise, he was super-fast,” Marquez said.

Lägger man ihop den kommentaren med tv-kommentatorernas påstående om att Acosta nu var tillbaka på 2024-hojen och hans 8e plats så känns det ju som om Pedro Acosta's karriär, för tillfället, är på väg åt helt fel håll...

Dom allra flesta var nog på det klara med att Marc skulle vara med i toppen på en fabriks-ducati.
Men ingen hade nog gissat på ovan totala dominans.
Jag tror den enda som kunnat utmana, på en likadan hoj, är JMart.

Gött för oss som gillar sagde alien men, lite trist för spänningen.

Newly injured MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin may be forced to spend at least two weeks resting in a Qatar hospital before he can return home to Spain - and initial indications are that he will be out for around three months.


The Spaniard, who had only just returned to action after recovering from the injuries that kept him out of the first three grands prix of the year, fell on lap 14 of Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix. The Aprilia rider was then struck by Fabio di Giannantonio as he lay on the track.


The subsequent hospital assessment revealed a pneumothorax and 11 broken ribs. Martin has had a drainage tube inserted in his right side, which could potentially be removed in four to seven days.


“This second night in hospital went a little better,” explained an Autosport source close to Martin’s camp. “But he is in a lot of pain and the tube embedded in his side is bothering him a lot.”


A return to Spain is an understandable priority for Martin, but the nature of his injuries means that flying could be painful or outright impossible.


“If everything goes very well, Jorge could try to get on a plane and fly in about two weeks. Maybe even three,” sources said.

No matter how well things go from a travel perspective, a doctor who regularly treats MotoGP riders said that Martin would be out for no less than three months, pending further details of the injuries.


After being injured three times in 65 days and suffering two very bad crashes after the first two recoveries, Martin must take it easy before getting back aboard the Aprilia. This will be even more important now than it was in the build-up to his Qatar return.


In his exclusive interview with Autosport last week, world championship leader Marc Marquez said the only regret of his career was returning from injury too soon in 2020.


Before Qatar, Martin said he was grateful to Marquez for advising him to take his time in recovering from the injuries that prevented him from taking part in the first three race weekends of 2025.

Nog för att jag inte heller tror att Aprilian är kapabel för ett titelförsvar, men den här nivån av medveten inkompetens är helt crazy. Jorge Martin pensionerar sig innan 2026, märk mina ord.

Slow mo på Martins krasch, ser riktigt otäckt ut när Diggia klipper honom med framhjulet.

Hade haft full förståelse för att man vill hänga upp skinnstället efter en sådan händelse, har dock svårt och se att han inte kommer ge allt för att komma tillbaka igen...
