Ahead of the #AragonGP, the question on EVERYONE’S lips was could there really be winner number nine IN A ROW… and if so, who?
If we've learned one thing this year, it's to expect the unexpected in #MotoGP!

Will there be winner no.9️⃣ at #AragonGP? pic.twitter.com/0WjpRftMRa
We think Pippa Laverty could be a tad biased though…
@MotoGP that shadow looks like it's @eugenelaverty ????
— Pippa Laverty (@PippaLaverty) 24 September 2016
Obviously we all know the answer. No winner number 9… but one thing we learned was that the world needs more positive people like Alex!
@MotoGP @marcmarquez93 @lorenzo99 @ValeYellow46 And there's still 7 different winners in a row

But anyway, we need to talk about PraMarcVDS… and it’s not good news. We all know MarcVDS had a pretty famous American guy joining them for the weekend…

We miss you! pic.twitter.com/UYk1tMCfQX
But MVDS were having none of it!
@pramacracing @MotoGP @NickyHayden Sorry, do we know you? Are you tweeting from @Leopard_Moto’s terrace again? #wehavemovedon ????????
— Team EG 0,0 Marc VDS (@TeamEG00MarcVDS) 22 September 2016
MotoGP™ Twitter likes to think of itself as a part time relationship counsellor, though.
@pramacracing @TeamEG00MarcVDS @NickyHayden @Leopard_Moto Now now, what did we tell you both about airing dirty laundry in public? ????
— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) 22 September 2016
And it did the trick! But not for long. *Sighs*
Hey @TeamEG00MarcVDS we are making new friends... @motogp we are fine don't worry ????????????@LCRHondaTeam @GresiniRacing pic.twitter.com/Lb49dTwqth
— OCTO Pramac Yakhnich (@pramacracing) 24 September 2016
We tried again to cool the situation…
@pramacracing @LCRHondaTeam @GresiniRacing poor @TeamEG00MarcVDS being all left out ☹️☹️☹️
— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) 24 September 2016
But failed miserably. Please DM us for counselling rates x
@MotoGP @pramacracing @LCRHondaTeam @GresiniRacing We’re at the cinema with @Leopard_Moto ????

Anyway…
Lorenzo brought a new helmet for Aragon… it was great for many metaphorical & literal reasons
Qué os parece el casco especial Shark que usaré este fin de semana en #AragonGP? @shark_helmets pic.twitter.com/tnKFVfeH1E

Marc Marquez reminded us many times this weekend that racers are just people, like you and I.
@marcmarquez93 picked up @polespargaro and made sure he was OK after their collision in FP3 - that's #sportsmanship! ???? #AragonGP #MotoGP pic.twitter.com/Ebb7EpEE70
— Monster Yamaha Tech3 (@Tech3Racing) 24 September 2016
Unfortunately Alex Lowes wasn’t able to compete in the race after his FP3 crash, but he made his future intentions crystal clear!
@MotoGP @Tech3Racing thanks for having me! See you next time ????????
— Alex Lowes (@alexlowes22) 25 September 2016
...and then this winglet thing got "plane" ridiculous. (We'll get our coat.)

In Moto2™ news, younger Marquez got his first podium and…brotherly love, eh?
Hay sensaciones imposibles de describir! Te lo mereces hermano!
— Marc Márquez (@marcmarquez93) 25 September 2016
There are emotions impossible to describe! You deserve it! @alexmarquez73 pic.twitter.com/yXvtV4coZM
As for Moto3™, we ALREADY have a new champion. It was emotional!

But it was so very nearly a different story, so this tradition had to wait another 24hrs…

Clearly this COMEDIAN saw our Tweet from Misano

— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP) 25 September 2016
Had to put this Tweet in because it’s a famous person saying how great MotoGP™ is and there's probably a pact about that sort of thing. Cheers Ewan - please come and visit some time!
Bravo @marcmarquez93 @lorenzo99 @ValeYellow46 @calcrutchlow and everyone really. This years @MotoGP is an absolute treat.

Meanwhile, Petrucci is getting a little rinsed after taking out his teammate in the race...
Following the cycling initiative, I propose a 1 metre overtaking law for Petrucci. What ya reckon @Reddingpower? ???????? pic.twitter.com/cmz7PWODyN

This was the autocorrect fail of the GP:
@MotoGP @Reddingpower I reckon hypothyroidism be arse down next!

All sorted though.
@MotoGP @Reddingpower "it will be" ... Predictive text.

And tweet of the weekend: we're not sure what was going on here, but for non-Spanish speakers, it reads (roughly)...
“When you've fallen over, but then the girl you like walks past.”

That's it for now. We'll see you at Motegi, and he'll see you at Magny-Cours. #LetsGetIt!
