Ok, time to get familiar with #MotoGP's newest venue ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ

The Pertamina Mandalika Circuit - A THREAD ๐Ÿ‘‡
The stats ๐Ÿ”ข

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

Reference lap times courtesy of @WorldSBK ๐Ÿ”„
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 ๐Ÿ‘€

A track that has fast and flowing corners, big stops and tighter technical sections too โš ๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿฅต
Tomorrow will be the first time #MotoGP has turned a wheel in Indonesia since 1997 and we can't wait! ๐Ÿ™Œ

The #MandalikaTest is right around the corner and we are so ready to get going! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We've already seen a glimpse of what the new Aprilia RS-GP is capable of in testing! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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

THREAD ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ๏ธ 2015 - @19Bautista, @MarcoMelandri33 & @stefanbradl

A tough return to #MotoGP saw Melandri depart midway through the campaign after switching from #WorldSBK! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Bautista, and Bradl once he replaced Melandri, made solid progress with the RS-GP as the year unfolded!
@19Bautista @MarcoMelandri33 @stefanbradl ๐Ÿ๏ธ 2016 - @19Bautista & @stefanbradl

Visible progress was starting to be made as a much-changed motorcycle steered things in the right direction! ๐Ÿ‘

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

๐Ÿ† #Moto3 Riders Championship

When @37_pedroacosta won in Styria, @dennisfoggia71 languished 97 points off the pace! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Summer break has arrived! But before we log off, 2021 has been a season to remember so far ๐Ÿ™Œ

Storylines we'll recount for years to come! For one reason or another, these are the ones we wanted to point out ๐Ÿ‘€

2021 #MotoGP - A THREAD ๐Ÿ‘‡
It all got underway back at the #QatarGP! ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

With quite possibly the strongest grid we've ever seen, 2021 was bound to be a belter ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@jackmilleraus was also pretty keen to point out his pick for World Champion in the Thursday press conference ๐Ÿ‘€
Onwards to the #DohaGP and the closest top 15 in premier class history! ๐Ÿ

After 22 laps, 118.4km of racing, just 8.928 seconds covered the points scorers! ๐Ÿคฏ

Le Mans awaits and in terms of the season, it's sink or swim time! ๐Ÿ‘€

To whet your appetite for the upcoming #FrenchGP, here's a few things to look for in France this weekend ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

๐Ÿ˜Ž @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! ๐Ÿ†

Let's hope he has more luck than last year when he crashed on the warm-up lap! ๐Ÿคž
Speaking of Suzuki... ๐Ÿ‘€

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! ๐Ÿ™Œ

In his 21st season in the premier class, @ValeYellow46 is set to continue his legacy next year! ๐Ÿ™Œ

So let's go back to the start to appreciate how far he's come ๐Ÿ‘‡

#MotoGP Image
@ValeYellow46 It all started out back in the 500s โช

His first premier class title in 2001 made him the last rider to win the Championship as a satellite rider up until this point... ๐Ÿ‘€

#MotoGP Image
@ValeYellow46 Full factory stardom awaited as the call up to the Repsol Honda Team paved way for two further titles in 2002 and 2003 ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†

Now 3 in a row ๐Ÿ’ช

Weโ€™ve officially passed the halfway mark of the 2020 #MotoGP season! ๐Ÿ‘

Hereโ€™s a few tweets which show why this season is the craziest one weโ€™ve ever had ๐Ÿคฏ

2020 and its ridiculous storylines in a megathread (this oneโ€™s a long one) ๐Ÿ‘‡
After the unexpected break, the waiting was finally over, it was time to get underway! ๐Ÿ™Œ

With empty grandstands, #MotoGP fans watched on at home as the lights went out ๐Ÿšฆ
5 laps! Just 5 laps is all it took for the chaos and drama to begin! ๐Ÿ‘€

@marcmarquez93 defying physics at Turn 4! But what followed was even more special
