  5. Now I understand why their leathers are custom made - to accommodate the huge balls it takes to ride like they do!
     
  6. Impressive stuff :upyeah:

    BUT.... he's going to fall off and he won't win anything. It looks amazing I know but how much faster is he going around that corner than someone like Pedrosa (who's on pole BTW)?

    Tyres and suspension are getting better all the time and that allows riders to ride this low but there must be a price to pay. Perhaps it takes a nano second longer to get back up again and therefore a little longer before you can get the gas on.

    Looks amazing though and fair play to the boy

  8. Do a search for Pedrosa pictures on the same turn, and you'll see him at the very same angle ;-)
     
  9. I was referring to Red998's post earlier. Check it out ;)

    Anyway, having just watched the race.... I believe I called that one spot on :upyeah:
     
  10. Do a search for almost anyone currently in motogp, and they'll all be doing the same thing. I dunno if I'm more impressed by the riders or the tyre company...
     

  11. Well that saves me watching the race tonight on Sky+ then :wink:
     
  12. Well if you're only interested in whether Pedders finished in front of Bradl or the other way round, then yes, I've given it away, so I do apologise for ruining the entire race for you :rolleyes:.
     
  13. or indeed saving an hour of a mans life :smile:
