MotoGP 2013

[steveyb]

MM simply has pure belief and supreme confidence in his abilities and in the bike. He simply 'knows' that whatever he wants to do can be done and he and his bike can do it.
That slide at Woodcote, I mean how many other bikes would have just tied themselves in knots and tossed themselves all over the salad?
That Honda is just something else, really it is.
And that is not to mention that he has bought his Moto3/Moto2 weight and balance control to MotoGP and now the bikes are capable of handling this style. Not so long ago they could not handle that.
For the polar opposites of style and success on the new gen MotoGP bikes, just look closely at MM and Edwards. Colins style is so ten years ago. He won't get any closer to the front riders on any bike nowadays.

Whats with the riders taking a foot of the peg coming into the corner?

Well, that looks like a game changer.....Crutchlow trashes another bike & MM nearly taking him & thr marshalls seconds later.The wrist looks worrying.

Don't go writing off George and the Midget yet, MM cannot ride that loose and keep getting away with it forever, every race done without the big crash increases the chances of it happening next time.

Would really like to see MM on the Ducati, he is very Stoner in attitude and ride style, he might be able to make the thing work where others (apart from Stoner obviously) have not.

Want to see the Yam in front tonight.

Broken collarbone and dislocated shoulder apparently...

In other news I'm loving this moto2 race!

Lorenzo obviously cursed him! He was going on about he and Pedro having shoulder injuries whilst MM didn't. Even stevens now.

[T.W.R]

The Barry Sheene tribute was good to see after the moto2 can't believe it's 10yrs

lol MM topping the fuel and struggling to get the bike started before pitlane closed that could've been interesting

[ducatilover]

Marquez never fails to impress the hell out of me.
Same can be said for George though, fucker is a machine a properly epic race

I have noticed that, and Nicky Hayden looks very similar to Colin, though to a slightly less degree. But then again, none of the other guys on the CRT bikes look anything like MM, JL, DP. Its very interesting to see the Moto2 style riding coming through to MotoGP, and will be great to see MM, Pol, Scott, Brad and Nakagami riding like that with the MotoGP

Speaking of Nicky, did anyone catch what happened to Dovi? It's very, very rare for Dovi to crash out, so I was wondering if Brad or Nicky gave him a bit of a push?

Brilliant! And to think that there was concern that the field would spread out because of the long lap and the high speeds.
