Wow, what can you say about Marc Marquez? I swear I think Pol Espargaro wanted to thump the shit out of the him after that last lap. Those moves that Marc pulled were just something else. And they didn't really look dirty either, just really freakin' good racing. Great to watch, makes Dani and Jorge's last lap battle at Brno look quite tame.

I can definitely understand why he's moving up into MotoGP next year.

Well that podium was a long long long way down my list of picks.

[tail_end_charlie]

Now that..............was different. Bit of a fiasco at the start (mild understatement) but a good race for 2 - 6. Really interested in two things:

-What on earth happened to Dani Pedrosa's bike on the restart. Looked like they had the front tire warmer get stuck in the brakes or something, cause one of the mechanics was trying to turn the wheel to get the tire warmer off, and it was locked solid.

-Was Rossi's podium a sign of things to come? Have Ducati actually made some progress? Or was it just that they had a really good baseline setup from the testing two weeks ago, and no one else could get one because of the lack of track time?

As of now, Karel Abraham and Hector Barbara don't have MotoGP rides for next year..........................I wonder why......................

Really disappointed to see Dani more or less out of the title fight though, I was really rooting for him.

.

Maybe the home Italian extra 1/2 sec a lap? Either way...makes you wonder how hard he's been trying until now. Awesome effort though regardless.

That's it! We need to pay for the streaming MotoGP thing next year if it means we don't have to listen to those 2 commentator muppets yapping on and stating the fucking obvious any more. They sound like Zippy and George from Rainbow.

+1 on that trudes,idiots ! Any language, English would be good.

Agreed! Good to see though.

As of now, Karel Abraham and Hector Barbara don't have MotoGP rides for next year..........................I wonder why......................

Bit unfair on Karel there methinks. His POS Duc is the worst of the POS Ducs. Ducati Corse even supplied Cardion AB an engine that didn't fit their current frame, so it's no wonder he's been having a hard time of it.

... The press release in Czech went into even more detail: before Brno, the team was given a new engine, but it did not fit into the original frame they had been given. They had to modify the frame to make it fit, and even then, this destroyed the weight distribution, forcing Karel Abraham to carry three more kilos to rectify the situation. The bike could not be set up to suit the rider, the rider had to adapt to the bike. ...

Yeah, I'm not really trying to blame Karel for the starting fiasco, shit like that happens sometimes. Especially when you have shit equipment and bad support. More what I was refering to was the fact that he lasted like three turns before he crashed out............yet again. He doesn't really show much consistancy and he crashes a lot.

Probably the latter, but it made my day.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Bet he's now wondering if leaving is still the right thing to do.

... He doesn't really show much consistency and he crashes a lot.

But how much is down to the bike, and how much is him?

Reckon you might see Casey's Cheshire cat grin on Vale's mug at the Valencia test later this year.

Who's your pic for third spot? I think Crutchlow.

He certainly looks as he has the pace,but if it comes down to tyre management I am going to go with dovi with Bradl as an outside chance, dovi or the doctor if it's wet

pay attention !we were talkin about third place!

Looks like everyone will be eating a bit of crow on that prediction. No one said anything about second.........

I could see why pol was upset marcquez the knob jockey stuck his foot out so far sideways it blocked off any chance of a pass up the inside he should have just hit the queer cunts leg and broken it in half

[tail_end_charlie]

But how much is down to the bike, and how much is him?

Ok, yeah, a lot of it could be due to the bike. But then again he's crashing more than any other Duc riders in the races. So................

May well do.
