Thanks for posting that. An interesting and well-written piece - makes a change from MCN articles. The previous article is also excellent & worth a read: Why MotoGP is going backwards - MotoGP - Motor Sport Magazine
I think Lorenzo simply had enough of Rossi. He obviously waited to see if Rossi fourth place would sign another two year contract and then made himself available. I think its a good move and I think he will be suited with the Ducati. If Lorenzo doesn't win the Moto GP world championship in 2017 I will show my ars, err no hang on a minute.......
Just read the Matt Oxley article - I think he's just copied and pasted my post no 59 on page 3 of this thread !! :Wideyed: I know the missus think's I talk utter sh1te, but I do get things right sometimes!!
I've never been much of a fan of Lorenzo but he has gone up in my estimations for taking this challenge on. Fair play to him and I hope he does well on the duke!
MCN Sport @MCNSport 5m5 minutes ago "It's like going to a disco, asking a girl to dance, and she goes with the guy next to you instead!" - Lin Jarvis lol to be fair he did pick the prettier one, just not as good in the sack
was gunna write some thing disparaging about the post above yours but thinking twice you are right.. im no fan either (although there is no denying his talent) but fair play and i hope he is straight in at the sharp end. for me the gp is the nuts and this can only ad to the drama surely!
Its made me really look forward to the 2017 season. Can't wait to where the other riders slot in now. I sort of hope Mavrick sticks with Suzuki but think he is more than likely going to jump ship to Yamaha.
How perverse! doubt Ducati will need monsters sponsorship, nor allow shark lids. I see your point tho, you cant polish a turd, but you can roll him in glitter.......
Liked Jorge from 125/250's and love watching him beat VR. Really pleased he's signed for us and hope he gels with the desmo.
Any chance of chazley getting the second factory duc if he keeps up his current form in wsb? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There's a chance of a pramac ride I would say, not sure about factory! Chaz is likely to struggle at the upcoming superfast tracks, he is only a smudge down on top end but also 37 points down so it will be damage limitation
Lorenzo is a great 'driver' he's driven me to smash up my shark lid with a sledge hammer. He cant ride on Michelins like Rossi either......
