English rider Davey Todd dominated the Macau motorcycle grand prix, crossing the finish line 10 seconds ahead of fellow BMW team-mate Peter Hickman. Finnish rider Erno Kostamo took third place, finishing a further 14 seconds behind.

Todd, who was awarded the win due to setting the fastest qualifying time 12 months ago after the previous year's race was cancelled, proved unbeatable throughout the 12-lap event. He managed to maintain control of the pace and set the fastest lap of the race at two minutes 23.702 seconds - marginally outside the existing 15-year-old record.

Todd's success completes a strong season for the Yorkshire-based rider, who has claimed victories at the North West 200, Isle of Man TT, and Southern 100 events this year.

Hickman, a four-time Macau GP winner, fought hard for second place but ultimately lost ground to Kostamo before recovering to take third. Rounding out the top six were Wigan rider Rob Hodson in fourth, Swiss rider Lukas Maurer in fifth, and Italy's Maurizio Bottalico in sixth.

Other riders completing the event included Australian David Johnson, New Zealand newcomer Mitch Rees, Manx rider Michael Evans, and Phil Crowe from England. A total of 17 riders participated in the Macau grand prix.
 
so this macau gp thing is still a big deal? like, who even cares about motorcycle racing that much? 🤔 i mean, david todd's the champ now, congrats i guess, but 10 seconds ahead of peter hickman? that's not exactly insane speed, right? also, what's with the qualifying time being this important? wasn't there a race last year too? didn't they just cancel it or something? 🤷‍♂️
 
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." 💪🏻😎 The Yorkshire-based rider Davey Todd proved unbeatable at the Macau motorcycle grand prix with a dominant performance! He set the fastest qualifying time 12 months ago and maintained control throughout the event. It's clear he has what it takes to be on top. The question now is, can anyone stop him next year? 🤔
 
I'm loving how this season is shaping up for Davey Todd! He's been on fire, dominating events left and right 🚀 And to think, he was already ahead of the game last year with that record-breaking qualifying time 💪. It's crazy to see him maintain such a high level of performance even after all these months. The competition is definitely stepping up too - Peter Hickman putting in a good show, but still not enough to take down Todd 😅. Erno Kostamo's third place finish is still impressive, though! And I'm curious to see how the rest of the season unfolds... will anyone be able to keep up with Todd's pace? ⏱️
 
🏎️ "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt I'm loving this new wave of riders on the motorcycle scene! The talent is incredible and it's awesome to see the competition getting fiercer with each passing year 🤩. Davey Todd's win at Macau GP is a testament to his skill and dedication. Four more wins under his belt this season, wow!
 
I think people are forgetting about Davey Todd's dedication to his craft. He's been grinding for years, and it paid off big time! 🏆 I mean, setting that record lap time was no easy feat, especially considering how tough the competition is this year. And let's be real, Peter Hickman had a solid run as well, but sometimes you gotta give credit to those who come out on top. Todd's win wasn't just about him crossing the line first, it was about his consistent performance throughout the season. Don't sleep on him for the championships now! 👍
 
The nostalgia is real when it comes to this Macau GP, man 🏎️😎. I mean, who doesn't love the thrill of motorcycle racing on the streets of Macau? It's like a beautiful, high-speed ballet performed by these riders 💨. But, let's be real, the competition was pretty stacked this year. Davey Todd's skills are insane, and it's no surprise he took home the win 🏆.

I love that Peter Hickman is still going strong, four-time winner and all that 😎. He pushed hard for second place, but ultimately came up just short. And Erno Kostamo taking third? That's some Finnish flair right there 🇫🇮. The diversity of riders from around the world is what makes this event so exciting – Australia, New Zealand, England, and Switzerland all represented 👏.

But, what I think is even more fascinating is how this sport has evolved over the years 🕰️. It's not just about speed anymore; it's about skill, strategy, and finesse. And Todd's record-breaking lap? That's some serious business ⏱️. Can't wait to see what the rest of his season holds!
 
dude i think its crazy how consistent davey todd is on his bike 🤯 like, 12 months ago he was already setting records and now hes dominating a major gp event 😲 and im loving how erno kostamo is bringing some Finnish flair to the track 🎉 also, peter hickman might be a 4-time winner but cant quite catch todd in the right gear 👍
 
I think its lit that Davey Todd brought home the win at Macau GP 🏎️👍! He set the bar pretty high with a record-breaking lap time 📈 and dominated the competition throughout the race 🔥. The guy's got skills for days, especially considering he was awarded the win last year due to the event being cancelled 😅. Anyway, his season is looking strong - he's already won some big events this year 🏆. Peter Hickman giving it a good go but couldn't quite catch up 👎. Anyways, here are the top 5 lap times from the event:
- Davey Todd: 2:23.702
- Erno Kostamo: 2:34.354 (+10.652)
- Peter Hickman: 2:35.456 (+11.754)
- Lukas Maurer: 2:36.111 (+12.409)
- Rob Hodson: 2:37.012 (+13.310)

Also, fun fact - did you know that this event has been happening for over 50 years? 🎉
 
So what a thrilling event! 🏎️ I mean, Davey Todd just absolutely destroyed it on that track. His dominance was so impressive, it's hard to believe anyone could even challenge him. And yet, Peter Hickman gave it a good go and managed to snatch third place - still a great achievement for the guy.

I think what really stood out about Todd's performance was how consistent he was throughout the entire race. He never seemed to let up or lose focus, which is exactly what you need to do when you're racing at that level. And that fastest lap time? Absolutely incredible. It's no wonder he set the record - the guy is a natural.

It's also worth noting just how stacked the field was this year. With so many talented riders competing, it's amazing that anyone could manage to come out on top. Maybe it's a sign of Todd's exceptional skills or maybe it's just a result of him being in his element, but whatever it is, I think we can all agree he's an absolute force to be reckoned with.

Now, what does the future hold for this talented Yorkshire lad? Will he continue to dominate the racing scene or will someone else come along and give him a run for his money? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - we'll be keeping a close eye on Davey Todd! 🔥
 
Man, what a ride 🤯! I was like totally rooting for Davey Todd to take the win, and he totally delivered 💪! 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman? That's insane! And Erno Kostamo taking third place is still pretty impressive. I've been following this season, and it's clear that Todd's been on fire 🔥! He's won so many big events already, and now the Macau GP to top it all off 🎉. What do you think about his chances for next year? 🤔
 
I'm low-key disappointed that Davey Todd won this year's Macau GP 🤔. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's still a pro and all, but 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman? That's kinda boring for an event that's supposed to be all about thrilling racing 😴. And what's up with Erno Kostamo just cruising in third place when he had the chance to overtake Todd on the final lap? 🤷‍♂️ It was like he got cold feet or something 😅.

And let's not forget, this whole thing feels like a formality because of that qualification rule where they gave Todd the win last year... it's just so underwhelming 🙄. I'd rather see some more competition and unpredictability in the racing world 🏎️. Maybe next year can bring something more exciting for the fans 👍?
 
I'm still on that whole YouTube video thing from back when I was a kid 📹... remember when people used to watch videos on their phones? Anyway, this Macau motorcycle GP is like the big deal back in the day, you know? I mean, it's not as popular as it was with those old-school TTs and all that. But hey, Davey Todd's win is still pretty cool! 🎉 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman, that's like a whole lappy... er, I mean, second place 😂.

I heard they're doing the same qualifying time thing this year as last year, which is a bit weird. Used to be you'd just show up and go for it. Now it's all about the prep work and setting the times beforehand 🕒️. Still, Todd's done alright for himself, taking home those wins at North West 200 and all that.

What's with the Swiss rider, Lukas Maurer? I don't recall seeing his face around here before... seems like he just popped up out of nowhere 🤔. Anyways, glad to see some English riders making a name for themselves! 👍
 
OMG u guys r going 2 b mental about this lol! 10 sec ahead? that's insane!! i think todd deserves all da praise he got for his focus & speed, gotta respect him for takin it to da max! peter hickman still a strong contender tho, but didnt quite get there this time 🤕💨
 
Yaaas Davey Todd is on fire 🚀🏁! He really brought his A-game to that track and dominated those laps. That qualifying time he set last year was a big clue, but I didn't think anyone could catch up - guess I was wrong! 😅 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman is insane, and Erno Kostamo's third place finish shows what he's capable of too. Rob Hodson getting fourth spot is pretty cool for Wigan rider, and Lukas Maurer looking strong in fifth 🤞
 
The dude Davey Todd is on fire this year! 🚀 I mean, dominating the Macau GP like that is no joke. The man's got skills for days and he's proving himself to be one of the top riders out there. 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman? That's some serious speed right there.

I'm loving how Todd held it together throughout the whole event, setting that blistering fast lap time too. And yeah, it's not like Hickman was giving up without a fight, but in the end, Todd just had too much steam. Kostamo putting up a good show though! 🙌

It's been a solid year for Todd so far, with wins at all these big events. I reckon he's gonna be a dark horse contender come the TT and other big bike meetups. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings! 🤞
 
🏎️👍 I gotta say, what a performance by Davey Todd! He's on fire this season! 🚀 I mean, 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman? That's insane! 😲 And setting that fastest lap time? Mind-blowing! 💥 I'm loving the speed and skill we're seeing in MotoGP. The competition is fierce, but it looks like Todd has got the edge for now. 🤝 Can't wait to see what other surprises this season has in store for us! 😃
 
omg what a ride 🚴‍♂️! Davey Todd is on fire 🔥 this season, he really outperformed everyone else. but you gotta feel for Peter Hickman though, he's been to macau multiple times and just couldn't get the win today 😔. and honestly i'm not surprised by Erno Kostamo taking third place, his pace has been looking solid all season 🤝. i think its gonna be a super competitive rest of the year, so can't wait to see what happens next 🎉. but on a slightly pessimistic note, it's crazy that they still haven't cracked down on safety concerns at these events... 😕
 
🤔 so like what just happened at this macau motorcycle gp? david todd rode his english bike super fast & won by a big margin 😮 that's crazy! i mean he had the fastest qualifying time last year and then it got cancelled, so he must be pretty pumped to finally get that win 🎉 and also, peter hickman is like 4-time winner of this thing, but couldn't beat todd today 🤷‍♂️ what's going on with his bike? did it just not work out or something 🤔
 
just saw the results from macau motorcycle gp and i gotta say, that's some sick riding skills by Davey Todd! he really proved himself to be one of the best in the game 🚴‍♂️🔥 10 seconds ahead of Peter Hickman is crazy, i mean we all know peter's got some serious talent too, but todd just seemed unbeatable out there. and erno kostamo taking third place wasn't bad either 😎 i love how he kept pushing hard even when it didn't seem like it was going to work out for him. anyway, totally stoked to see so many talented riders competing in the macau gp, can't wait to see what next year brings 🤞
