A wise technique because it made him look far more thrilling than if he’d sensibly preserved his tyre and settled for fifth or sixth place. This beats Pecco, who’s only a boring model of Lorenzo as he lacks Horhay’s hilariously abrasive character, or any character in any respect, for that matter.
Razzie for Worst Actor
(Rider who sucked probably the most)
Nominees:
Raul Fernandez
Luca Marini
Frankie Morbidelli

Who would have thought that hiring the worst of final yr’s 8 Ducati riders would change into a catastrophe for Honda? Actually everybody who isn’t a journo, that’s who. Within the race, Marini’s bike had a significant issue. There was a crap rider on it.
Oscar for Finest Overseas Characteristic
(Finest group)
Nominees:
Ducati
KTM
Winner: Ducati. If it wasn’t for Brad Binder, the highest thousand locations would have been crammed with Bolognese Bullets. Not like in WW2, the Italians dominate the Axis Powers that make MotoGP bikes. That exhibits how far an utter contempt for the rule e-book can get you.

Nominees:
Honda
Yamaha
Winner: Honda. Some years again, MotoGP launched the CRT class for awful bikes that had big concessions however have been nonetheless atrocious. This yr we’ve the JRT groups.

Oscar for Finest Director
(Finest group boss)
Nominees:
Gigi Dall’Igna
Pit Beirer
Winner: Pit Beirer. It’s been an ideal begin to the yr from KTM. Brad Binder was good, and new signing Acosta had everybody’s jaws dropping decrease than Uccio’s VO2max.

This yr the KTM was quick out of the final nook and an absolute missile down the straight.
Razzie for Worst Director
(Worst group boss)
Nominees:
Lyn Jarvis
Alberto Puig

Crimson Bull KTM
Primark Ducati
[Your Name Here] Manufacturing facility Honda
Castrol LCR Honda

Razzie for Worst Supporting Actor
(Worst assist class rider)
Nominees:
Jake Dixon
Winner: Jake Dixon. Connoisseurs of vanity think about Dixon to be the loudmouth’s loudmouth. The gobby Englishman would have had no potential excuse for not successful the Moto2 race. He’s the team-mate of the winner and has intensive Pirelli expertise from his British Superbike days. However he managed to blow it by highsiding himself out of the race weekend throughout a practise session, robbing himself of the chance to do his typical trick of lowsiding out of a podium place with about 3 laps to go.
Conclusion
This season has began off with a little bit of a blended bag. The bikes are largely attractive, regardless of the moronic aerodynamic addons. The KTM and Aprilia needs to be good not less than among the time. Acosta has landed like a turd in Ducati’s punchbowl, a lot to everyone’s delight. The brand new Pirelli tyres have made Moto2 appear to be enjoyable for the primary time in years. However the entrance Michelin nonetheless sucks and the JRT groups are simply as appalling as final yr. Let’s see how the season unfolds.
