MotoGP 2015

[husaberg]

Colin Edwards was, like Slighty, a classic 2nd string guy.. competent enough in WSBK, but not 'killer' enough - to claim the top step in G.P. racing..

To be fair
Slighty outperformed both of his world champion the previous years teammates.
Foggy 1996 and Polen 1994 when both raced the same RC45.
No one can claim they were not used to Hondas either as they both had extensive RC30 experience prior to Diucati mounted world championships
Both came to Honda wearing the number one plate and yet left lagging behind Aaron.

& then Honda cruelly threw him into Mick Doohan's grip, for a reality check..
Poor bloody Aaron, unlike Col'.. never quite made it - as WSBK Champ, either..

Well Col was WSB champ. Aaron was more consistently near the top than anyone else I can think of in WSB then.
No one was able to match Doohan but Aaron was just as fast as a few other NSR500 riders who had ridden the bike for seasons on the two occasions he was allowed to ride the NSR.

Yeah, ol' Mick was keen on the 'screamer' quick-spin NSR 500 crank configuration - to sort the men from the mice..

Has anyone tried a 90`- 'crossplane' screamer-type crank on a Yamaha TZ 750 - for classic racing?

Pretty sure he did that to Caparossi he did that too, it was a mean trick.
I whish I could find the article where he admitted to Nerfing Gobert to get him to shut is piehole about how great he (Gobert) was in a race.

Huh? Capirossi ?? When was he ever Doohans team mate?
You surely mean Alex Criville, what was annoying Doohan was all the other Honda riders would just wait and read Doohans data and setup and run with that come qualifying and race time.

Yeah might have been it was a eurofile with a bunch of vowels in his name.
Edit yip it was Criville

Loris Capirossi was Honda NSR500 mounted in 95 but not in his team

It won't rain and Lorenzo will beat Rossi on his home turf opening the way for the title.

It won't rain and VR will have a battle with JL, VR will win, and JL will look sour.


I will para phrase it but a uni in Japan (kobe I think)has this theory (backed by pretty extensive stats) that most top sportman only has the mental concentration for about 10 years at the top.
A lot of sports physiologists go along with it. I liken it to battle fatigue

Like anything 10 years is probably the middle of the bell curve. Some guys got battle fatigue after one firefight. Others kept at it even after seeing most of their buddies blown to bits.

Yeah but it was 98% after 30 days continuous exposure(ie without R&R) to the battlefield I know that the other 2% were psychopaths.
With Rossi that's maybe why he needed to part with Burgess so he could shake it up.

Your "30 days" worth - might apply to draft-bunnies - but to professional hard-arses such as SS/SAS, they'd go a fair bit longer..

Exactually why he did it. He needed to start again with a different route to follow, than what he and JB New. There is a new breed of riders and style he needed to adjust too

[J.A.W.]

They might well go on forever but they still have battle fatigue.

Which is what? Best to leave the analysis to those who do know.. (L.M.F.?)..

As for M-D's typical nonsense about V.R. adapting his style.. in reality, Rossi+Ducati = Epic fail..

[husaberg]

Which is what?


That's to easy not to answer simply a loss in performance.

Swank and Marchand's World War II study of US Army combatants on the beaches of Normandy found that after 60 days of continuous combat, 98% of the surviving soldiers had become psychiatric casualties. And the remaining 2% were identified as "aggressive psychopathic personalities."

Rubber is not a problem
To allow greater power output without overstressing transmission componentry?
1) seen the gearbox on one? they are not the weak link
2) More power won't make one necessarily go around a circuit quicker
To dig the sound it makes..
They sound okay onboard.

US Army draftees were a low quality "mass" cadre, as I wrote.. ( & ex post facto additions to posts - sans acknowledgement - is poor form, too.. naughty H..)..

But if you are interested, check out Kurt Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse Five' ( Book, or movie, both are good) for 'Paul Lazzaro' he's a classic 2%er..

Lol. Too busy rebuilding my TZ750 with cases from CONSORTIUM racing. The guys you mentioned were only the pattern makers...

As a rider, the Last thing I'd want to do is build a screamer. You stick with your theory. I'll stick to my reality. I know which is more enjoyable. Go back and think about the questions I asked that you have yet to answer. Theres a few clues there.

Hey M-25, if you wanna be a "stick" in the mud, that's your deal.. but you & Doop can ask Wobbly here too, if you want a - closer to home - answer..

Here's a question for you though, why didn't/don't 2T triples use a 180' crank, like the TZ, or Laverda triple?

If you're really keen on this subject H, we should take it to a new thread.. suffice to say that the US Army in WW2 was a sorry outfit
- as far as unit cohesion/GI welfare went, even in comparison to other US services - such as the USMC..

Go tell your grandmother how to suck eggs, not enough you try to tell a guy who knows TZ750's inside out how to do it but now you're saying 2T triples should use the 180 deg crank like the bloody Laverda I've got to build in the workshop.
I could possibly put up with your sister on here, at least she's got some history. Though your attitude to drugs when i look at the crowd she ran with....Ha.

"Stick in the mud,"You make a lot of incorrect assumptions don't you! especially when it's not your money or bike.

180 vs 120 phasing on triples. You still don't know much do you. 180 degree is used regular in 3 cyl yamaha builds.

Funny thing - I've known Wobbly for the last 14 years or so for the work he's done on 2 of the TZ750's owned in my family....

Anyway, enough about what I know. When you get some hands on experience than just theory or reading other posts, we can talk.

If you could read, grumpy grandad.. you would see that I asked why they didn't do 180`cranks in triples.. the regular 120`- is a "cross plane"/screamer..

FYI, a 360` crank configuration was tried in an H2, for dirt track racing, but the vibes/harmonics & transmission shock loadings killed it..

So yeah, you can bloody well just stick your hypocritical asumptions & boringly judgemental "attitude" - right back up - where it vented from..

Ok, then, ask Wobbly & get back to us.. with his view on a 90`TZ 750.. rather than being a stuffy know it all..

What "regular" Yamaha triples do you mean? Do factory Yamaha triples use the 180`crank? Doubt it..

Yeah he doubled the size of my ignore list, it's now Cassina and him. Can we organise for them to start PMing each other? It'd keep them both occupied.

Am looking forward to the race, there are a number of things that make it interesting. The track has been resurfaced and a dramatic drop in laptimes is expected but there was a photo this morning of Marquez on a scooter, parked in the middle of the track bending down looking at some patches in one bend.

The Ducati riders should have good setting from the get go because they do their testing there. Michele Pirro, their test rider, will be racing and he has done a phenominal number of laps around Misano. Rossi will need to qualify well otherwise he's likely to have a whole posse of Ducatis between him and whoever is in front. He will know that, but knowing about it is one thing...

Rossi has been doing a lot of training at Misano on an R1. Yesterday I saw mention that this was "controversial". That's funny 'cause I hadn't noticed anybody moaning previously. Any rider can do unlimited testing anywhere they like as long as they don't use a GP bike and any mods to the bike they are using are approved by the Dorna technical people.

Luca Marini, Rossi's little brother, is riding in Moto2. While he is most famous for being Rossi's half brother, he is currently sixth in the Italian Moto2 championship. Wonder what happened to the five guys in front of him in the championship?

Was that by Deano on Superbike plan? He does type a lot of shit on occasions, but some times some good info. The bad smell will be gone, when every one just ignores the twat, sad little kunt has to live on here now, as he is made unwelcome and ignored else where these days. Way to funny also having him on the block list, It gives me a buff to see his name but NO words LOL. Just like him really, just an empty space.

[Autech]

So with Suzuki, Honda and Ducati all having tested at the track on the new surface this year I am wondering how this will effect the Yam's when they rock up at Friday practice?

Naturally both the Honda boys will be quick off the bat but I am wondering if the Duc's and Suckzuki's might be able to bust in some decent times early on too giving them a good base to work off for Qualifying. With the soft tyre option and the windy track we may end up with a few of them out qualifying the Honda or Yam boys. Rossi may be in the shit basically so lets hope he puts his head down a qualis well.

Interesting thing here about VR's home track advantage.

Just Deano typing shit man

I don't know who Deano is but you are right about him typing shit. The Ducati team do their testing at Misano on GP bikes, so too have the Suzuki and Honda teams. Track milage on a GP bike is more relevant than circulating on an R1.

One of the Spanish riders has been basically living at the Aragon track - cant remember who and can't be bothered checking, but it isn't just Rossi as "Deano" claims.
The option is available to anybody who can afford the track fees.

There isn't even a storm in a tea cup, it exists entirely in Deano's mind.

First - MM
Second - DP
Third - VR

[sugilite]

Hmmm,it is going to be a very close call, but I'm going with....
VR - I feel he is going to channel the version of himself that rode the NSR500 in his last year at Honda - the one where they gave him a 10 second penalty and he simply upped the pace to win more than 10 seconds!
MM
DP
JL
Dovi

[Autech]

First - MM
Second - DP
Third - VR

Brave considering MM hasn't won there yet in the Prem class, did he win there in 125/Moto2?
I'm just trying to remember if he tested there on the 2015 chassis or whether he had already swapped to the 2014.
My picking is he will either win it or bin it, pretty much will be for the remaining races.

The Dovi vs Eeeaaahhhnoneee battle will be quite good I think, 2 Italians, on Italian bikes, on Italian turf... I used to love watching Eeeaahhhnoni in Moto2 with his balls to the wall attitude. Dovi is a bit more calculated but is very hard to pass due to his demon braking.

Who is this J.A.W. you talk of?

I've been meaning to say, when Rossi gave Burgess the boot - I really thought that was just the death throes of a dying career (VRs one). At the time I thought Rossi was just trying to use Burgess as a scapegoat for his poor performances and as a rider he was washed up. I have to eat those words now!
Rossi has really stepped up. Dumping Burgess turned out to be the best move for him. It did take a year for Rossi to get his Mojo back after returning to Yamaha. Sure is paying off now though.
I have 100% gone from Rossi doubter to true believer! :Punk:

Yep, as I said a few posts back, Rossi needed to clean out the cupboard, to reinvent himself to ride with a new style to be competitive again, and him and jerry were just going round an round an round only. Full respect to JB history though, very cool man

So M-D, spill the beans, did you teach V.R. how to douche thoroughly too, after removing the tampon?

Yeah J.B. is a cool bloke though, & he'd lost some interest since his 2T tuning skills were made redundant by Caramello's stupidity..

[pritch]

I wonder if Jeremy Burgess had decided that Rossi was past it, and consequently wasn't trying to find solutions as hard he might have been in years gone by. Make no mistake IMHO Burgess is a king among crew chiefs. As Alex Briggs wrote, Burgess changed the way the whole of pit lane operates. He was winning, so everybody copied his methods.

My question is, when does JB's book come out? Sadly, Alex Briggs told me that JB is more interested in golf these days.

Bugger!

I doubt it big time Pritch, Jerry is way to competitive himself. prob just a case of 2 old men working together and not thinking outside the square enough. Maybe the ilness of Jb's wife was having an effect on his passion and commitment, who know;s really apart from him and Vale

[Autech]

Pedrosa is a much more likeable midget since he ditched that fucker.

Yet I would say his results are worse... 2013 he was not far off the title win (yeah yeah get fucked doubters) but we did have 3 riders going at it all season for the title. Now if we believe what he us saying about 2014 and arm pump then it was his fitness last year and the beginning of this year which fucked him up.
Buttt, is it losing Puig really??? Who knows. Could be just a crap bike!
Next year will either be his year, or his last year on the Repsol. That is my predicion and I am picking Miller is the one who would jump on the bike in '17 if thats the case.

I doubt it man, he is much happier so should be more relaxed and ready to pull the trigger. The compition has really grown in the last 2 years which obviously makes it harder for riders in his position on track, ie 3rd place and down ( ON AVERAGE for him)

I came across a bit about Swantze in about 94 Suzuki asked him to do a session on the very uncompetitive RGV250.
He did a session and was only a couple of tenths off the lap record.
The thing that was great about Kevin was he never had a problem specking his mind.
I guess he was meaning Pedro's had done nothing in the 8 years in the top class.
As for Puig Swantze was not the only one who thought he had a pretty charmed existence in the top class being a Spaniard didn't hurt much I guess.
When you look at JB's record of success with so many riders its very hard to deny he was doing all the right things.

Swantz's Electronics ( Suspension data man) told me in Japan in 2001 I think, we never listen to Kevin, as the data proves he is Wrong haha. He just rode the dam wheels of the thing. I had a signed book by Kevin once, untill a house I was living in got robbed

Lap times don't lie though ,Feedback is a relative thing, I don't think Gardner was to good at it either, Judging by what everyone said Sheene was shit and so was Kokinski , Doohan obviously was great but he too was initially fooled by the big bang and thought the original motor felt faster even though the lap times were the same in back to back testing (But the tires wore less so faster in a race overall or a softer compound could be run)
The big bang Doohan said steered better as the Balance shaft fixed the gyro the single crank NSR had. (not a problem in all the other twin crank set ups)
When Suzuki did their version even though the lap times were faster, He still wanted to run the screamer set up. But kevin was a racer I think more interested in winning a race against someone than winning a title.
The thing Burgess always mentioned about Mick in interviews was how hard and fast Mick rode during testing.

[J.A.W.]

Lap times don't lie.. but crew chiefs might..

Barry Ditchburn was having poor form/low confidence.. Shenton told him he was going a couple of secs quicker than he was..

It's not going to be his choice. Pedrosa was going to be replaced by Marquez a couple of years ago, it's only due to the fact that Stoner quit that he kept his job. Honda will still be looking to sign the right guy - whoever it is.

So Yamaha fitted winglets to Lorenzo's bike last night in FP2. They had tested these at Aragon apparently.

Nick Harris announces that the winglets won't make much difference to the lap time.
The pit lane guy butts in and says that Lorenzo has changed to a new medium tyre, he'd been using hard.
And suddenly it's a new lap record.

Indeed Nick, indeed.

Maybe we should have persisted with them at Teretonga in 1988... We wanted to keep the front of the GSXR1100 down over the bumps past the line as it wound up to around 180mph plus (calculated off revs and gearing - confirmed later at a flying 1/4)
Officails were looking sideways at them though so off they came. Still regret that.

[sugilite]

Oh boy, JL is looking dangerous - but MM is breathing down his neck, wonder if he can keep that up all race long and stay rubberside down.
VR should pick up the pace today.
Amazing what a podium finish will do for confidence, Petrucci is looking pretty sharp. I hope he does really well. I like that guys attitude. His comment of “I was behind Pedrosa and Lorenzo. I've never seen that situation. Only on the Playstation!” was freaking hilarious :lol:

Barry Sheene had fairing mount winglets on his Suzuki G.P. 500 - back in the 70s..

Misano-wise, count on a maximum effort from Ducati.. for what that's worth..

Who's put a quid on someone then, so far? I'm temped to back M-M..

$1 on Rossi for Pole (odds $17.00)
$5 on Rossi for win (odds $3.30)
$5 on Maniac for podium (odds $4.00). Dovi was tempting but only paying $3.00 and I feel like Maniac's been on better form lately.

Oh and $25 on Rossi for the championship, odds $2.05.

Small money I know...

Ok, then how's about a whip around by members to fund an expedition to see the blathering fool & convince him to retire..
..for the good of his health, & in the nicest possible way, of course.. well either that - or inject some botox into his tongue..

Yeah I prefer to watch the BT Sports coverage with Julian Ryder and Neil Hodgson etc
You can find it here http://www.cricfree.tv/bt-sport-2-live-stream

And yeah Dani is on borrowed time at HRC, the one guy HRC will want to make a big pitch for is Maverick Vinales.

[gav]

So Scott Redding is off to Pramac Ducati next year, replacing Yonny H .
Will the factory RCV that Scott has been riding be moved over to LCR for Jack Miller and his customer spec bike supplied for Tito Rabat? Or will Rabat inherit the factory RCV?

[Erelyes]

George @ $10- on the nose for me I reckon.. but I have yet to get down to the TAB..

I do it online. Much easier to look up a bit of stuff (last year's race results, was that guy injured, is rain forecast etc) before putting money where t' mouth is

There are lots of rumours and there could be announcements at Misano. When the game of musical chairs stops the poor bugger without a seat could be Eugene Laverty.
That'd be tough.

1/2 6 tenths pfffft, as per history of him mate, it is the race that conts. I still think he has his 1/2 in the bank as per. Jl increased and Vr Played follow the leader again.

Vr to MM in FP2 .5 then .3 in FP3- he has a plan I reckon. Wear Jl down in the race itself. he practices to do just that, and races to WIN only

[Shaun Harris]

Well FP3 was really interesting. Lorenzo cracks his own new record. Rossi and Pirro made moves up the order late in the piece and Braders done good too.

Chipping away stll. Only .2 - JL now and .1 to mm. I bet ya JL is concerned about Vale and his coincistency and typical last laps speed. This is gunna be a ripper - Hey, how about that Smith fella eh, pretty god dam good I reckon, and Miller sure is getting a handle on that thing now. Haha, some times you can win the race in the 1st corner, ie get the hole shot and sprint away if you can manage your tires to last. Be bloody interesting to see if Jl and VR run the same front tire, that will be the key to who ever manages to make them last best

Anticipation for this one is ramped up to ten.
Jorge has to go hard from the start,will MM let him?

If it comes down to a scrap in the last laps for points advantage Jorge will not beat Rossi.

[pritch]

Did u watch it live? and did you notice if either of the factory Yams had the wings?

Not in FP3. There was mention that Rossi tried them at one stage, maybe FP4. No wings in qualifying that I saw.

Rossi needs to stick with JL in the race. Right behind Rossi on the grid is Bradley Smith who, as the commentators keep telling us, is now considered one of the best starters in the field. It would not be good for Bradders to get between Rossi and JL.

Michele Pirro's endless laps around Misano paid off.

Might be a late night...

[husaberg]

No, I do not have it live.

it was on sky is sky live?

Yep... expectation wound up to the max. Would have much preferred Rossi behind the Ducati's because he is such a Sunday man but there's still Pedrosa and Smith available to beat him to the first corner :laugh:

Outstanding qualifying by Smith and Pirro.

I have full on plebs TV only. I have a link to watch the races a little after they have been shown though. But I do not care about seeing the results before the race, as you get to read peoples comments about things that went down in the race, and then watch the race with a bit of racing experience I have from the past, and quickly learn who does and dose not know what the heck they are talking about. Kinda makes it an even more fun game.

JL looked at Rossi when they lined up for the practice start, Rossi waved an apology. Well, most people thought it was an apology, didn't look like "up yours" in any langiuage I've seen.

Mike Webb has been busy; a bunch of Moto2 riders had their lap times discounted for straying from the track and Rossi got a slap.

Guesstimation time then. I guess VR will holeshot this one, then back off a tad to let JL and MM go by him, he sure does not want MM on his ass for most of the race, as I see MM as a crash waiting to happen, as he is young and dumb and full of come with balls from hell. Then pace himself against the gap if any that JL pulls. He is such a calculated calm racer

I don't think so. Once you're lapped you get out of the way. There are good reasons for that, not everybody behaves like a gentleman. :whistle:

[caspernz]

Very entertaining race for a spectator, nightmare for the teams no doubt.

Rossi very brave (or stupid?) to stay out that long on shredded wets. Shame about Lorenzo, takes a bit of the edginess out of the remaining races.

Well, that was a lottery.. M-M, good effort.. the long range weather forecast was accurate.. George blew it.. or was he knobbled? & Pedo was useless again..

Rossi was racing JL ,no one else. Didn't look over happy after the race with 5th but hey JL lost points to him so he'll be rapt. 24 points lead now I think ?

#93 is still a worry if that shit happens again.

Yeah, a little lapse of judgement by VR (and a huge one by JL).

Hey guys has anybody done the maths on Moto GP this year.
With 5 races to go whats the maths on MM winning the season again? -I mean 5 more results with VR finishing back there or a crash out.
JL having another crash etc.
It doesn't look to me like its entirely the two way battle its being made out as being.
Ditto for JL to win --looks to me like VR has to finish all 5 races more than 1 place behind him in every race.

[FROSTY]

Yeah, a little lapse of judgement by VR (and a huge one by JL).
Was it though?? My thinking was that Rossi was pushing Lorenso to make a mistake. he got what he wanted just not HOW he expected it.
I reckon VR was watching lap times to see what would happen if he stayed out another lap

[carbonhed]

It rained! Fuck! Rossi must be in league with the devil. Two weekends in a row he's dodged a bullet.

Smith stayed out on the slicks :eek5: Balls of steel. Redding crashes, changes twice and makes the podium. Happy for them both. Wonderful ride for Baz.

Lorenzo.... mumble, mumble, berk. Should have pitted when his team told him and been patient.

Rossi? Stayed out ridiculously long... master tactician my arse... still increased his points lead. Fuck again!

Marquez did it right. Took a big chunk out of Rossi's lead... both Yams had better be careful he doesn't get too close.

[FROSTY]

And the Faux pa of the century goes to those two commentators
commentator 1-"i think Ill go find a nice dark room and lay down"
Commentator 2 'MMMM I think I'll join you "

Also in Moto 3--Im looking at my screen seeing 5 bikes in the lead pack for a few laps yet the commentators keep saying 6 bikes-cant they count??

Rubbish. Nothing wrong with trying to get your lap back if you have established every cunt you let through are loads slower than you.

If it was rubbish why did he get a black flag? Try and keep up. :whistle:

In the past lapped riders have interferred with race leaders to the advantage of their fellow countryman or team mate. As soon as a lapped rider starts to mix it they should be black flagged IMHO, and in the opinion of Race Direction in this instance.

And on Rossi staying out too long, yes he has history in this regard, but he was in front of Lorenzo and he wanted to stay there so he stayed out. Once Lorenzo came in he could come in too but by then it was too late.

[carbonhed]

Rossi had a 1.5 to 2 sec lead on the road on wets. The guys on slicks we're doing 9 to 10 secs a lap quicker. If he'd led Lorenzo into the pits he'd have maintained that gap. Letting Lorenzo have an extra lap on slicks was a massive cock up and should have cost him the place.... if Jorge hadn't got over enthusiaistic.... :facepalm:

He stayed out and pushed for the purpose of seeing if he'd have been a contender for the lead, and fucken would have. The black flag was pointless and made no difference to anyone. Shit, the other two guys should have let him by and got a tow.

MM is 63 points behind Rossi with five races to go. If Mm wins every race and Rossi finished 3rd each time MM would only close the gap by 45 points.
If JL wins any of the remaining races MM would close by less than 45. Realistically for MM to threaten there needs to be an injury or other DNF to one, or both of the Yamaha riders.

Next race is Aragon in two weeks time but then, starting 11 October, there are three races in three weeks: Motegi, Phillip Island and Sepang. If anybody gets injured in Japan it's possible all three races will have been run before they can recover and that could change things dramatically.

We should, however, have a better idea after Valencia. :whistle:

Oh FFS he gifted the battle to Lorenzo by staying out an extra lap only for Lorenzo to gift it straight back by throwing it down the road. It was a Yamaha comedy of errors. The pit crews were practically grovelling on the track begging those twats to pit. Holy mother of God he got beaten by Loris Baz.

Lorenzo said Reading went past him so fast that he thought he'd better up the pace.............................................. ...............

haha I have had a ball saying the same thing today in the USA. Have been saying it over there for a while now though. He is an Andrew Stroud as such, a very deep thinker

Settle down. Fuck me. So the race is so fucked up...Redding is on the box (ahead of the so called G.O.A.T), and all of a sudden old gingernut is a hero? I thought you claim to know a bit about GP racing? Chris Vermulen WON a wet race on the GSVR...and? So fucking what. What does ginga pie taste like? Shit probably. Only an inch apart.

Wonder if Rossi was to win if he will retire as champ.
Cant be a lot of riding time left for him now.
Kind of hope he hangs in for the win. Could be the last chance he will get at another championship before youth wins over.

His earlier fuck up was also taken into account with the black flag I think. He was not interfering with anyone else's race. He stayed out and pushed for the purpose of seeing if he'd have been a contender for the lead, and fucken would have. The black flag was pointless and made no difference to anyone. Shit, the other two guys should have let him by and got a tow.

I think the only reason he got the black flag was for ignoring the -2 he was shown a lap earlier. He was told to drop 2 places, the commentators said he had 3 laps to comply; I suspect that's BS - you have three laps to comply with a ride-through, but much less to comply with a 'drop place' instruction.

The taking out of Aegeter was 'to be reviewed after the race'

Taking out Aegeter was a mistake, but the black flag just made him conceited, especially waving to everyone on his black flag lap. He should have fucked off back to the paddock and had a beer instead of making himself a pest.

That MotoGP race... fuckin hell. When Rossi caught up to JL/MM initially, I thought : you have to pass here. But he took his time about it, and then inexplicably stayed out when the tyre was turning to popcorn.

Even if he was waiting for some more drizzle, his tyre was that fucked he'd have just about been better off pitting and getting a slick anyway. If he'd stayed on the wet til the end of the race he'd have finished out of the points, if he finished at all.

All that experience, and he made a pretty foolish error that cost him a good amount of points may well come back to bite him later on if his rain dances stop working.

I found it funny, Lozenge saying that two races in a row with rain is 'bad luck'. If he had his way they'd race on Mars!

Look what Honda Did.

[Doppleganger]

Rossi couldn't make the call. Rossi is fucking past it. Rossi got beat by Loris Baz.

Rossi wasnt racing Baz, he was racing Lorenzo ;)

Waddya talkn about the old goat is gettn faster.

Next year is all on for young an old what with the bikes running standard leccy blankets and new michelins to contend with.

In saying that tho the more things change the more money Honda has to throw at it.

He is under contract untill 2016, and he is not ready to retire yet man.

[J.A.W.]

To take advantage of modern rubber?
Rubber is not a problem
To allow greater power output without overstressing transmission componentry?
1) seen the gearbox on one? they are not the weak link
2) More power won't make one necessarily go around a circuit quicker
To dig the sound it makes..
They sound okay onboard.


Frits was kind enough to provide his view of this matter, of trying a 90`"crossplane" crankshaft in a TZ 750 - over on the "Oddball Engines..." thread,
- if anyone is interested, & yeah, he agrees it'd be worth a go.. ( so.. in your face.. M-25, hah..)

That sums it up perfectly Doppleganger.

So easy to be ''Captain Hindsight'' with fucked up races like this.

And so hard for Rossi's cock smokers to admit he made a mistake :laugh:

Believe me, as a Lorenzo fan, that hasn't escaped me.

I just don't recall Rossi being so tactically inept before.

...I will admit that it is the first time I have yelled at VR, through the screen, questioning his tactic and calling him derogatory names...
