Yep,one on a Yam,one on a Honda and one on a Ducati,whats not to like,at least one should be on a competitive bike.
I'm a fan of all of them. I happen to think MM is the quickest and most exciting rider in MotoGP right now. Which he is!
Been a Marquez fan since he came into M3, always wanting him to do well and win. Exciting rider, all or nothing. Next year I would now rather see Jlo win than Marquez. I'm not sure he will lose any sleep over that.
I thought the race was a big anti climax,after watching the sheer emotion of moto 3,with some great footage of the Kent family going through the wringer watching there son/brother win the world title the whole moto gp race seemed a little sterile,well done the Kent family,brought a tear to my eye
one thing about the mighty shit mouse , he is consistant with his treachery, spoiled an otherwise good season,,, well done Vally..
How much difference did the penalty make in reality? Rossi looked like the 4th fastest out there today, he did a brilliant job getting there, but may well have finished there anyway, just closer than the 19s defecit. Maybe a simplistic view, but the top 3 pulled away from him all race.
I feel so sorry for rossi , in all the years racing hes never ever ever played with competitors , putting them out the race, running into them , taking them out , putting them in the gravel, trying mind games, bitching at press conferences, ooh hes so hard done by with the penaulty that lost him the championship ,, bit of payback I say and well overdue,
So it went pretty much as expected. Rossi was brilliant, but he was always half a second off the top three every lap. So ultimately, it didn't matter that he started from the back of the grid. When he had clear track, Pedders was still putting more distance between them. Did he lose points in Malaysia? I don't believe he did. Would he have done better at Philip Island without MM giving him a hard time? Can't remember. Lorenzo won because he was faster - considerably faster towards the end of the season - on the same bike. I wanted Rossi to get it, but I don't think he deserved it more than Lorenzo. Was MM going to risk duffing up Lorenzo in Spain, in front of Spanish fans and the King of Spain? I don't think so. And even if he had, it would have made no difference. For Jorge to lose the title, both Pedders and MM would have had to finish in front of him, which didn't look very likely. Quite funny seeing Jorge embrace the king. Can you imagine the Quoon showing up to Silverstone and being embraced by a Bradley Smith, Redding or Crutchlow? No you can't, can you?
Just catching up,with events, so there's a deciding race next weekend , yes? Too late to get tickets?
Did Rossi use his tires up by taking different lines to get through the pack? Had he started from his qualifying position would knowing he was close behind have put more pressure on the front runners ?
don't think so birdie on both accounts , he didn't have no probs getting through the backmarkers, think espagaro was the only one who never rolled over,
