There were at least three riders in Q1 dawdling round who baulked Bradley Smith on the last corner, he was possibly going to get into Q2, but had to slow for the dawdlers.
Can't believe they weren't penalised for that. ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

A bit processional and yet another race dictated by tyres.
If this is the pinnacle of short circuit motorcycle racing why are the tyres holding the bikes and riders back?
We've now had two "races" back to back were tyres have dictated both the pace and the eventual out come, previous to that we've had a race shortened by a couple of laps because the tyres wouldn't last the distance.
IMO they should ditch the one make "control" tyres and go back to a free for all, whatever tyre the teams want to go with, because at the moment I appear to be watching a high speed tyre testing session and not an actual motorcycle race! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Even though I, like most of us here have watched him from year dot, still don't feel like I really know him.
He's a bit corporate for me to completely take to him.
The years when races become tougher will be hugely entertaining and it's pretty good at present.
Props to Crutchlow for not falling off and nice 1 Suzuki.
Seems that Marquez dislocated his shoulder during celebrations.

They joked at the time that it was part of a celebration stunt... Obviously not. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

I felt exactly the same, but after watching some (propaganda) videos have changed my mind.
Found these very interesting, especially how his team came to be, how ridiculously sharp him and Santi are (barring one minor fault on the tyre change lap count the other year). How the Spanish half of the garage are so massively different to the Japanese, but how they make it work.
My view of him changed a lot. Maybe I'm just too impressionable.
If you're looking for something MotoGP based to watch over the winter months, I really enjoyed these:
#Rookie93 Marc Marquez - Beyond the Smile
This was free on BTsport, might be searchable via app.
Marc Marquez: From Cervera to Tokyo
Marc Marquez: 2017 unseen
None of this excuses some of his perceived disrespect / ramming riders etc But, meh, there have been far worse and he's 7x champ at 25.
PS. Never accept a hug off of Scott Redding. |

I remain unconvinced...but open to be fickle.
Currently struggling and failing to stay awake for Philip Island.
Just seen MM save the front during Warm up.
Ianone rapid.
Rossi tyre conserver.
Marquez win at any cost.
Gonna be good. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Moto3 was the usual madness, at one point they were 8 a breast going into the first corner!
Unfortunately Bezzecchi got nerfed off again, (not his fault), that's twice in 2 races, FFS. There was also a massive crash that both riders waked away from.
Moto2 was also worth watching, much fairing bashing!
Shame they can't just race the whole season at Assen, Mugello and Phillip Island on alternate weeks! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

I was impressed Iannone avoiding being hit by it. |

Imagine how cheap he would be to keep and lest we forget he's won 10 races in moto3...was the runner up last year.
He's 22....what else can he do other than race again?
Sepang this weekend....'bout time Maverick pulled his finger out...'bout time Rossi girded his loins...and Dovi. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 160 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
