It is way cool!  It's gonna be a shame watching Cal throw it down the track :haw:

:dawg:  Well we won't get to witness much of that since he's a test rider this year.
He's already crashed during testing at Losail and Lorenzo had some smart ass comments about it :rolleyes:

That is true, I saw the comment from Lorenzo, he needs to just stay out of it and enjoy what appear to be an endless vacation.

I'm hoping we get to see the Yamaha team (and maybe even Petronas) run this livery at a race or two this year like they did for the 50th.

From the MotoGP story:
"In honour of 60 years of Grand Prix racing, Yamaha will arrange several activities and initiatives throughout the 2021 racing season to celebrate this significant milestone. Fingers crossed we'll be seeing these colours compete in at least one Grand Prix weekend this season!"
