Any of NINE riders could walk out of Misano with the #MotoGP championship lead! 😱

Let's take a closer look at the championship contenders heading into the #EmiliaRomagnaGP 🏁

THREAD 👇
9⃣ @takanakagami30 - 53 Pts
Best Finish: 4th (Andalucia)

The only rider in the field with a top 10 finish at every race so far! 😎

Proving that Honda's championship hopes are still very much alive! 💪 Image
@takanakagami30 8⃣ @BradBinder_41 - 53 Pts
Best Finish: 1st (Czech Republic) 🥇

Shocked the world with victory at Brno but storming recovery rides elsewhere have shown this was no fluke! 🔥

The South African rookie currently leads the KTM challenge, and will surely only get stronger! 👀
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 7⃣ @FrankyMorbido12 - 57 Pts
Best Finish: 1st (San Marino) 🥇

Led for much of the way in Brno before finally breaking his duck at Misano! 🏆

With the first win in the bag, could this take the @sepangracing rider to a whole new level? 🤔
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing 6⃣ @ValeYellow46 - 58 Pts
Best Finish: 3rd (Andalucia) 🥉

Returned to the podium in Jerez and came within half a lap of another at Misano! 👊

Consistency and experience could prove invaluable as he chases title #10! 🏆
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 5⃣ @mvkoficial12 - 58 Pts
Best Finish: 2nd (Spain, Andalucia) 🥈

Started superbly with a brace of podiums but has failed to reach the top five since 😲

His raw speed is unquestionable though and will hope to capitalize on some Yamaha-friendly tracks! 👍
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 @mvkoficial12 4⃣ @JoanMirOfficial - 60 Pts
Best Result: 2nd (Austria) 🥈

Secured third with the overtake of the season so far on Sunday! 💨

Was surely on course for victory in Styria before the red flag and could be the man to end @suzukimotogp's wait for a world title! 🙌
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 @mvkoficial12 @JoanMirOfficial @suzukimotogp 3⃣ @jackmilleraus - 64 Pts
Best Finish: 2nd (Styria) 🥈

3rd and 2nd could so easily have been 2nd and 1st in Austria had the last two corners gone his way! ✊

Can he take the #1 to @ducaticorse next year? 👀
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 @mvkoficial12 @JoanMirOfficial @suzukimotogp @jackmilleraus @ducaticorse 2⃣ @FabioQ20 - 70 Pts
Best Finish: 1st (Spain, Andalucia) 🥇

Looked unstoppable after victories in the opening two races but things have unraveled in recent weeks! 😲

Will want to end a run of four races outside the top six this weekend! 👊
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 @mvkoficial12 @JoanMirOfficial @suzukimotogp @jackmilleraus @ducaticorse @FabioQ20 1⃣ @AndreaDovizioso - 76 Pts
Best Finish: 1st (Austria) 🥇

Cashed in at his strongest circuit in Austria and has limited the damage expertly at tracks less suitable to his GP20! 💪

With his long-time obstacle removed for now, this is his golden opportunity! 🙌
@takanakagami30 @BradBinder_41 @FrankyMorbido12 @sepangracing @ValeYellow46 @mvkoficial12 @JoanMirOfficial @suzukimotogp @jackmilleraus @ducaticorse @FabioQ20 @AndreaDovizioso The closest and most unpredictable #MotoGP season yet will take its next twist on Sunday! 🔄

Who knows, could even more riders muscle their way into the mix? 💪

Ok, time to get familiar with #MotoGP's newest venue 🇮🇩

The Pertamina Mandalika Circuit - A THREAD 👇
The stats 🔢

Length: 4.3km (2.68 miles)
Corners: 17 (6 left, 11 right)
Longest straight: 507m

Reference lap times courtesy of @WorldSBK 🔄
Pole lap record: 1'32.877
Race lap record: 1'34.288
It's going to be a huge test for both rider and machine 👀

A track that has fast and flowing corners, big stops and tighter technical sections too ⚠️

And when you add in the searing Indonesian heat, it's going to be one of the biggest challenges the riders will face all year 🥵

We've already seen a glimpse of what the new Aprilia RS-GP is capable of in testing! 🔥

These are the machines that the 2022 model follows in the wheel tracks of!

THREAD 👇
🏍️ 2015 - @19Bautista, @MarcoMelandri33 & @stefanbradl

A tough return to #MotoGP saw Melandri depart midway through the campaign after switching from #WorldSBK! 😲

Bautista, and Bradl once he replaced Melandri, made solid progress with the RS-GP as the year unfolded!
@19Bautista @MarcoMelandri33 @stefanbradl 🏍️ 2016 - @19Bautista & @stefanbradl

Visible progress was starting to be made as a much-changed motorcycle steered things in the right direction! 👍

Top 10s were now expected, rather than occasional, with both riders finishing as high as P7!

We're entering the business end of the season! 🙌

With so much left to be decided, let's take a look at what's up for grabs, and the contenders in play! 👊

THREAD 👇
🏆 #Moto3 Riders Championship

When @37_pedroacosta won in Styria, @dennisfoggia71 languished 97 points off the pace! 😲

Now the pair face the potential prospect of an Algarve rematch next month with the title at stake! 🍿

1⃣ P Acosta – 218 Pts
2⃣ D Foggia – 188 Pts
@37_pedroacosta @dennisfoggia71 🏆 #Moto3 Teams/Constructors

With an 84 point lead over @AsparTeam, @RedBull_KTM_Ajo can wrap up the Teams Championship next time out! 🤝

The Constructors crown is still hanging in the balance though...

1⃣ KTM - 308 Pts
2⃣ Honda - 290 Pts

Summer break has arrived! But before we log off, 2021 has been a season to remember so far 🙌

Storylines we'll recount for years to come! For one reason or another, these are the ones we wanted to point out 👀

2021 #MotoGP - A THREAD 👇
It all got underway back at the #QatarGP! 🇶🇦

With quite possibly the strongest grid we've ever seen, 2021 was bound to be a belter 😎

@jackmilleraus was also pretty keen to point out his pick for World Champion in the Thursday press conference 👀
Onwards to the #DohaGP and the closest top 15 in premier class history! 🏁

After 22 laps, 118.4km of racing, just 8.928 seconds covered the points scorers! 🤯

Le Mans awaits and in terms of the season, it's sink or swim time! 👀

To whet your appetite for the upcoming #FrenchGP, here's a few things to look for in France this weekend 🇫🇷

- THREAD 👇
😎 @JoanMirOfficial could make Suzuki history this weekend!

If he finishes on the podium he'll be the first Suzuki rider to take 4 successive podium finishes since Kevin Schwantz in 1994! 🏆

Let's hope he has more luck than last year when he crashed on the warm-up lap! 🤞
Speaking of Suzuki... 👀

Mir could make history in style! If he's able to take victory on Sunday he'd become the first Suzuki winner at Le Mans since Chris Vermeulen back in 2007! 🙌
