The new 2010 MotoGP Champion is... SPOILER

[White trash]

Ya know in my opinion everything those two did in those last few laps was utterly stunning EXCEPT for that one barging incident which I feel was the wrong side of the line for sportsmanship. We watch racing to see tooth and nail type racing just like that.

Some of us race for that reason too......

[FROSTY:Me]

There ya go ol son -everybody has different motivations. Regardless of result I race to win. Not "at any cost" but for me winning is the main aim. a bit of argy bargy with other riders is a bonus.

[MDR2]

I can't wait to see Julian Simone on a GP bike, preferably a thou.

That guy has to be the most consistently fun person to watch race throughout Moto 2 and Moto GP.

My thoughts too. I doubt the electronics that the big boy bikes run would favour his style though.

[Kornholio]

Lorenzo was pretty much depised by other riders for his agressive riding and nerfing, even comentators made blabs about it. he's a whining little girl.
Rossi does what he does best, pull off unreal moves, Giberneau was a girls blouse. ask Gary McCoy.
Rossi's in it for the racing. remember Biaggis move onthe 500's? that was sinister, and audacious from a young Rossi
Stoner will be interesting to watch on the Honda. Rossi will be a revelation on the red one.

Pretty much what he said

[emaN]

Ain't nothing about Lorenzo's championship that's been given. He's more than earnt it. Rossi, Stoner and Pedrosa all biffed it and paid the price trying to beat him.

RESPECT.

Not too sure Rossi's crash comes under the 'paid the price trying to beat Lorenzo' scenario.
Sounded like it was more of an outlap/cold tyres/giving way to a rider on a hot lap scenario. Had it happened during a race fighting at the pointy end then yeah, I'd agree with you.

Never-the-less, Lorenzo will likely be World Champ very soon, which puts him in an elite group. However, has he got the 'good stuff' to become one of the Greats?

Really? I think you'll find that Rossi was trying so desperately hard to dominate every qualifying session at his home Gp that he paid the price for riding too hard on a cold tyre once he'd slowed down to let someone following him go by.

Either way...he paid the price for trying to beat Lorenzo. As did Pedrosa in the first session at Montegi, as did Stoner in two out of the first three races.

[carbonhed]

Yep. Lorenzo had them both by the balls before they crashed and broke. Sure he's just riding to bring home the bacon now... well except when he sees Rossi just dangling in front of him but I imagine when the championships done and dusted nobody will be happier than him to just get out there and race.

And he's fucking beautiful on the bike.

Paid the price? Its called racing people fall off. Lorenzo's out there on a bike Rossi and Burgess have developed to be by all accounts 'the best bike out there'. not the fastest in a straight line. but thats what bike racing is all about huh?
People who have been in the GP scene for a few decades have said Stoner is probably the most talented out there. even when throwing up in his helment during a race. And I'll bet either of the curent honda riders would be riding the yamaha just as well as Lorenzo. and what up with Lorenzo land? some one explain? or B stick em all on a Moto2bikes.

Yeah I'm aware of that. Done a fair bit or racing/crashing myself. But I think you missed my point. And I'll agree with you (but many here won't), I've been following/watching GP races for years and years, been to many GP's, and Stoner is THE fastest guy I've ever seen on a race bike. I'd say they're all shitting themselves at the thought of him on the Honda.

Defintely they will all be thinking that next year is going to be a great year. Lorenzo will probably rate himself as the only one with a chance. but I'd love to see Rossi waste them all on the red one! that would be unbeleivable, but not inconceivable.
And maybe prove to all he is THE master of two wheels. GP titles on 3 manufacturers, oh I spilt my beer.
anyone think Hayden can be up there?
What about Spies? and just cos... Kia Kaha Colin!# 5. the honda midget gotta get one sooner or later. or are they all just pretenders to whatever Rossi leaves behind?

[MDR2]

I just want Colin to have his moment on the top step just once before he leaves MotoGP

IMO;

We've seen Casey ride a Honda before (albeit without factory backing) in 2006 and he had flashes of brilliance usually leading to spectacular tumbles or his trademark front end washout.

I think he'll be a contender but I believe the title will come down to Pedro and Lorenzo in 11

I think Stoner will come into his own again in 2012 when the bikes revert to the monster thous again (im hesitant to believe it will be a return to the glory days due to the way electronics have such a huge part to play these days) I think put stoner on a horsepower machine like he was in 2007 and he will dominate.

Not sure how Spies is going to work in the scheme of things, my previous prediction for him was that he was just going to be another Colin Edwards and run mid pack, but he certainly has made his presence felt. Will be interesting to see if the wall in the garages at Yamaha come down and some information starts going both ways again.

I think Rossi will have his work cut out for him with no testing at the end of year (yet to be confirmed) and then a format change in 12 will give him no time settle and give the factory team the info they need to develop the bike into something he can use. (if he isn't instantly amazing on it like everyone predicts he will be.) (i'd sooner have liked to of seen him on the suzuki )

Lorenzo has amazing style and determination on the bike but man does he come across a twat with his after race celebrations, but i guess they are just his way of playing ming games. at any rate he earnt and deserves this years title.

For sure he fully deserves to be the champ this year!

How's this for a great picture???

[MDR2]

Ha, I thought that was a bit of a PR patch up after Motegi, speaking of which, I want a replica helmet of Lorenzos Motegi lid damn that was sme cool artwork
