“As for the skinny – yeah, that’s just what peak cardiovascular fitness/endurance looks like.”
yes, i realize that. i follow MMA/Boxing too and the folks at their weigh-ins are often a scary site to behold…similar to what these MotoGp riders now look like.
point being a few folks (Pecco included) don’t seem near as gaunt ‘in appearance’ as a lot of others do.
Mav never looked that gaunt before until recently.
I’d guess he has taking his racing racing career (and therefore, his cardio) more serious as of late and it shows. I am certainly not rooting against Mav.

So who is wining? I don't see Q crashing a lot.
It's a job. He'll be able to retire pretty nicely. Where's the rub?

I think what you’re seeing is just the natural variability among athletes. There are successful professional cyclists (these guys train 30+ hrs./week in some parts of the season) that don’t present with extremely low body fat. Have a look at Tadej Pogacar, who is arguably the best road cyclist in the world today. Just looks like a normal kid. You’d never know they were otherwise remarkable by appearance.
Fighters cutting weight by dehydrating is an entirely different thing.

I think, if one opens their mind, and attempts to intuit what the team/maverick are trying to achieve, it makes perfect sense. They have been in the darkness, ALA “the dark knight” where batman has been quiet, or in the background for several years. Then the caped crusader encounters the villain, Bain. He is beaten and captured, then sent to the same site that Bain came from. Complete Darkness. Avoid of limelight or glory. IN A HOLE. Over time, with great effort, seeking inner power….he escapes the hole….and comes back to defeat all , even his inner self…gains victory of his opponents and returns to glory.

Your perspective is indeed uniquely unique.
No-one else on the planet would have ever thought this. There's a relevant George Carlin bit but it is vastly NSFW/not "family friendly."

No no no brochacho. Most of the old motocross racers that rode before the year of infamy (2002) agree that two strokes are proper racing motorcycles. I'm sure there are more than a few motorcycle dealers who think that having three major road racing championships selling sport bikes is vastly superior to one as well. You know, the ones that remember the day when the biggest problem was getting enough sport bikes to fill demand. When road racers didn't wear masks to hide their shame. :)

I think the cadre of 2-stroke lovers is much smaller than you think it is. All the vet guys I know happily run 4T dirt bikes because they’re easier to ride and way better on gas. They remember their 2T’s fondly but don’t buy new ones.
Road racing and sport bikes were a trend that’s faded. Very few who bought sport bikes ever went to the track or followed racing. I’d argue that racing wrecked the sport bike market by making affordable, versatile sport bikes into expensive, one-trick ponies that real riders no longer wanted to buy. Insurance premiums growing to 25% the value of the bike per year didn’t help, either. Sport bikes are now returning in popularity and they’re profiled a lot more like the old Honda F3 than the most recent Yamaha R6.
As usual, you’re making stuff up to suit your own opinions.
