Aragon Moto Gp - Spoilers (if You Hadn't Guessed Already)

  1. Will be good to see him back, MotoGP has been getting really quite dull, the races are close in terms of times and they are following close, but there just isn't any passing and actual 'racing' going on until someones tyres start dropping

  2. Totally agree. Moto GP has been lacking something this season. Normally I can’t wait for a race weekend, but my interest has been waning somewhat of late. I hope having 93 back in the fold will create some unpredictability.

  3. I don't think it's helped that the Suzuki has been so far off the boil, and the Honda has been at the back, it's creating really boring races because it's a load of ducati riders all riding the same way, not really able to scrap because their bikes are strong in the same areas.

  4. I’ve really missed Marquez in MotoGP , the last race was one of the best but most of the others have been lacking something , I hope Marc gets some form and can get into the mix in the next few races
     
  5. But when MM93 was at the top of his game it was a different kind of boring ;)

  6. I’ve more or less stopped watching it. Since Rossi and Marquez have left it’s been pretty dull. It’s all gone a bit sterile. No nutters. Sport is boring without nutters. I’ll watch again if MM comes back and starts ruffling a few feathers :D

  7. Can’t believe I am saying this but wsbk is way better at the moment, MotoGP gets the x2 treatment.

  9. I will never get bored of it but its definitely seemed like ive watched more of it this year than ever before and the winter break seemed to go by in a flash whereas normally it drags out for eons.
    Dare i say it, too many rounds?
     
  10. I still enjoy MotoGP, but I follow Yamaha and not Ducati. I prefer Moto3 though as they're all nuts.

    I don't like the way Ducati Corps operate. I like Ducati's but hate Ducati.

  11. True, moto3 is good to watch for the last few laps- lunge tastic!! Can't warm to Fabio Q. And you're right about Ducati, hard work to work for. I've spoken to couple of UK based lads with Ducati franchises and the hoops they've had to jump through- fuck that.
    I've worked for Italians myself on Agip/Saipem projects. Their management need regular (hard) punches to the solar plexus. And they walk around site with their overall collars turned up and hard hats slightly cocked. I shit you not :laughing:

  14. 100%, but he's in front of some young guns that should be in a much better position than him.

  15. That was kind of my point a lot of people questioning what he could offer that Dovi couldnt and hes jumped straight on the bike and gone faster than an ex world champ, and most of the young guns people were cracking one out over less than 12 months ago.
     
  16. TBH I watch every minute from 8 oclock on a Friday morning til 3 oclock on a Sunday afternoon but I have very few responsibilities, everything else fits in around it, even the footy these days.
    Certainly dont follow a "factory" either.

  17. Oh I watch every part I can too. Normally Im at work, but I'm home and its on. But all sat/sun coverage is watched live.

    Some spanish guy was running a moto2 bike at Almeria. Noisey bastard thing. Was the Honda variant, so a previous years. Looked like a Kalex to me. Forks cost more than my bike.

  18. 5 manufacturers in the top 8 and only a slight mistake in the last turn stopping 93 ending the day top.

    with the new chassis :astonished:
     
  19. Never underestimate MM93. I like him now more than ever as I watch his extraordinary come back from adversity.
    He used to make MotoGP boring, now, weirdly he makes it exciting :D.
