MotoGP 2013

Wow let's have pit stops every race!

Mind you if they used a decent tyre they wouldn't need them.

[Asher]

What an amazing race!

Do i feel bad for MM? Not at all

[Kendog]

Wow!

What a season.

[BMWST?]

ok MM and or team made an error but disqualify??,Why not a ride through that would make it the same as going in for another rear tyre,which was a proposed penalty.I dont think some half arsed rules made up on the side of a track should decide the championship.Jlo better not leave any gaps next time MM is near

[cmoore]

rules were the same for everyone, why is it Jl's fault that MM can't count to 9?

[Asher]

I can see where you are coming from, disqualifying him has made the championship more interesting.

But he "ignored" a rule introduced for safety reasons.
The penalty might have been discussed at the rider briefing also, so there was every chance he would have known the consequences of what he did.

What a balls up by Marquez and crew! Shame JLo doesn't have a team mate who can fire a shot.

Gutted for Redding... that was a nasty snappy kind of crash. Wonder if they've located his testicles yet?

They just commented that Redding will not ride in Japan either.
So, that's him done, most likely.

Now that really sucks. I like Redding, and was hoping that he would be able to take out the Championship, especially since it seemed like Pol was lining up to make it a good fight. Still, I think that Pol is a pretty damn good as well, so I won't be disappointed if he gets the crown.

It's proving costly at this end of the year. Now seems content to battle away in the distance with the satellite pilots. 12 seconds behind again....
Ah, well....

I've still got Marc Marquez winning 78.1% of the time....jorge on 21.7% and Dani on 0.2%

[Drew]

I would be stoked if it wasn't for Dani being out of the running.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I think a black flag was way too severe. They also should've been able to stay out there as long as they like. You know...like they can on slicks when it rains. That's just as dangerous. The tyre was losung grip...he had a couple of moments...but yeah...the rules were in place and they blew it. Best he just brings it home safe and sound now. And Rossi? Time to stand down Granddad.

Apparently MM and his team thought the 10-lap limit meant that he had to come in on the lap after completing 10 laps. They executed their strategy perfectly. OK, that wasn't too smart, but a disqualification?!!

And what about Dani's drop-a-place penalty? It was issued when the next rider back was Rossi, 6s behind. It was apparently discharged when Dani was passed by MM, who was black-flagged a lap or two later. There's no sign that Dani ever knew about the penalty. What if he'd been black-flagged for failing to comply?

If motorbike racers are going to be required to do pit stops, ride-through penalties, drop-back penalties, bend-down-and-touch-your toes penaltes, then they need radio communication with their team.

Ah, well....

My cricfree wouldn't work, so haven't seen it yet. 12 seconds down again ??
Not at least matching a teammate on the same bike,makes for a thin excuse book. Me a fan, but next year is make or break. C'mon Vale, Go !!!!!
Having MM flagged and Bradl hurt makes the pom tech3 boys look better in the results.

Same reason you don't actually now what the fuck actually happened and why.
