MotoGP 2013

Very impressed with Bradls ride. He didn't get all excited and do something stupid just kept putting in fast lap after fast lap.

I think all of the Bautista knockers should eat shit too. Especially the wankers that put Rossi's DNF at Mugello down to him. Takes two to tango. Almost looked to me at Laguna like he was too scared to try anything on Rossi after Rossi cried so fucking hard over it.

TBH I was hoping Bautista would take Rossi. He gets a lot of shit from people, commentators saying stuff like "there goes Bautista, no doubt we will see him again soon, sliding down the track or taking someone out" but I like the way he races. He is definitely not slow, just maybe needs to reign it in a little here and there. I am looking forward to each race more and more as the season progresses

. Or decides to toss the V8s and ride a Honda again.

This one!!! Hopefully the tests will give him the love he's looking for.

Sounds like he just wants to have fun riding and testing is likely to keep him smiling for a while. Maybe he'll do a deal with Honda to test the bikes a couple of times a year for a few years and that'll keep him happy. The politics in MotoGP is one of those things that purists would love to bury (along with the soap opera) but reality means it's necessary.

Yeah there was no way the incident at Mugello was Bautista's fault. It was just one of those things. And you should've seen the experts on FB knocking shit out of the guy purely because Rossi was involved. Some of the fucking retards were saying Bautista doesn't deserve to be there and should be in World Supers etc etc. Fucking dreamers. He deserves to be there way ahead of people like Bradley Smith for starters.

God the off season, and mid season break suck.

You sad cunts are the sum total of my GP fix!

People forget the Rossi attempted pass up the inside of Casey at Sepang? in the wet

I reckon Casey will be wanting to see if he can beat MM's laptimes while testing just to say he's still Jack the Lad.

+1 on Bradley, on good equipment but not doin the bizzo, I have a horrible feeling that Redding will end up on a lesser bike next year while being a betterer rider.

Nah. CFWB would never let us forget. Neither would my deluded Australian brother.

If you're talking about the "ambition outweighing talent" event I thought that was at Jerez.

Jerez was it? Had one of the asian tracks in the memory banks for some reason.
I remember chuckling at the time when the marshalls ignored poor ol Casey.

It must suck big time to be taken out by someone when racing at this level, but at some stage it is going to happen.
They all crash and sometimes there is someone else involved.

I can scarcley imagine the drive these guys must have to make it to this level, the competitiveness they must have, and the pressure they must be under to perform. If you are not getting results you don't have a job next year. There is no "I feel a bit under the weather I am not going to work today" You get out there and you give everything, and you put your life on the line EVERY TIME! So yeah you are probably going to be a little miffed if someone takes you out, and probably pretty defensive if you do it to someone else.

The only one I cannot fathom being there is Aoyama? Performed very averagely in WSBK last year and he gets a GP ride? And again performing poorly. I want to like japanese riders for some reason. Loved Yanagawa and Haga in WSBK but I cannot believe there is not a better performing Japanese rider available that could do the bussiness!

As I understand it, at that level (i.e. a few steps below factory riders) it's a lot to do with who can bring the sponsors to the party as opposed to who the best rider actually is. I'm not saying this is the case with Aoyama necessarily but it may have something to do with it.

[Dogboy900]

Yeah I am sure the Japanese public want a local boy to cheer for, maybe he is the best they have on offer at the moment?

...............I watch Shortland St for that...........................

right, where's that frkn' negative rep button.........................

[tail_end_charlie]

Anyone in MotoGP definitely has the ability to be there, except for the odd one or two who have managed to buy their rides over the years. But pure riding ability doesn't pay the bills unfortunately and nobody goes racing if the bills don't get paid. So smile for the camera boys .....

Yeah, too bad reality keeps fogging up those rose-tinted glasses, eh? Bugger.....
