Well I reckon Mark Marquez is going to give the lot of them a right rev up next year....going from 33 on the grid to 11th in the first lap is farkin amazing & to be 9th by lap 3
Brilliant controlled ride in difficult conditions & a well deserved champion who makes the rest of them seem like pussies...

Yeah pretty awesome effort! He just needs to clean his act up a bit. Think he'll be pretty exciting next year quite quickly.

That bullshit rumour was cleared up weeks ago dude, what they were adjusting was legal and just dam cleaver of his crew

I reckon Spies or his Mum has pissed someone off that they shouldn't of and his season has been sabotaged, there is no way that you can have that much bad luck!!

Agree. Can't help thinking there's some stuff we don't know.

It wasn't a rumour. His team were adjusting settings on the quick shifter on his bike so that it wouldn't cut fuel when he changed gear. That means the fuelling is already in the correct part of the map when the ignition comes back in, giving him a slight advantage over those who cut the fuelling as well as ignition.

The quick shifter is not regulated at all in Moto2.

It WAS a rumour! they were saying his team was cheating, when in fact his team just used there heads

Will anyone but a spaniard win a GP next year??

It's exactly the same for the rest of the world - why put time and money into something that everyone else gets to use for free?? In this case if the teams don't contribute then nobody at all improves - including them. It lowers the cost of development by spreading it across all the users. You do get those that don't contribute a single thing and you also end up with a small number that virtually carry the entire project, but what you also get is huge amounts of feedback, feedback that you can't get with just 2 riders. You also have peer reviewed software.

It's competition, why the heck would I want to share the fruits of my development dollar/labour? All open source would do is stagnate development.

It works despite the hippy faggots - linux, firefox, thunderbird, chromium, eclipse, open office, gimp, android, the bsd's, perl, ruby, php, python, apache, drupal, mediawiki, wordpress, jumbla, moodle .... it doesn't work?!?!?!

Which one of these things is an ECU used in a competitive environment? Linux... used by nobody but people who want free server software or an OS that can strip back for some specific task. Sure open source has a few poster child products, but really it's just used for niche and/or unprofitable dev by collaboration.

It'sI'm guessing you don't have anything to do with Open Source in your job??

Sure I do; anytime I need an unsupported flakey product for no dollars, it's the first place I turn.


Turning it into a hippy love in is not going to help MotoGP.

Was there a Spaniard in the top 10 of the last Moto3 race?

He was pleased with his setting for the wet but the dry bike was a mile off. Would have been nice to see rain the whole way.
But hey it's all history now, just like that other guy that rode a honda. What was his name , Tracy something or other ? lol.
