Honda. Yamaha. Ducati. Suzuki. Long ago, the four motorcycling greats lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when KTM and Aprilia announced that they’re racing, too. Only
MotOPPO GP
, Kinja’s one and only fantasy Grand Prix motorcycle racing game, can make sense of it all. Then, when the season got exciting, it vanished.
A while back, Peter Black rediscovered MotOPPO GP, and although it was restarted in good faith, the truth is...well...we’re gonna need sponsors, really.
That’s right: MotOPPO GP is back , and after a long time lazing out I’ve gotten through and made this first round! WOO!!! But, you might remark that I posted this early. Why? Because essentially I want to do weekly bumps for day and night audiences so that more users can get in on the action.
And where are we going? Qatar! That’s right, we got a night race, and the first true test of the all-new horses these jockeys are gonna be riding. Jorge Lorenzo is in Ducati now, and will want to show the world that he’s better than Rossi by doing what Rossi was unable to do: become 10-time champion world champion at Ducati.
Oh, and the table is new, too. All points go back to 0. Except, no. Because I went on hiatus and didn’t send any one message afterward, I will give everyone who declares their entry until 11:59 pm at March 25 SEVENTY (70) POINTS FREE!!! Yup, because my generosity knows no bounds, and to make up for the rest who wanted to play in the subsequent rounds, I will give all players 70 points.

I know I’m way early, and I probably will be posting my predictions all season before I see any FP for the race. I don’t remember my password so I can’t get on at home lol.

I’m betting on his eagerness to beat Marquez he will get a bit to aggressive. What Marquez himself did a couple years ago

Thank you! And very true, just had to be a little different! I do think that vinales is most likely to take it though. I did think it was very interesting now flustered he got when marquez was messing with him in testing. This season is going to be fun to watch

I would take part, but I already have a fantasy league going with some local guys. Also, I don’t really get on here enough anymore. Might I suggest having everyone just use the official motogp fantasy and then using that scoring though? Seems like it would be a lot easier for everyone.
