MotoGP 2014

[Maha]

The GPs have been on Sommet for a while now. It's just a small thing but they won't switch to the Moto 3 race while an AFL match is in progress, last time they missed some major drama with both Miller and Fenati crashing before they crossed IIRC. Fenati obliged by crashing again though so we didn't miss out completely.

What Sommet do offer is better than anything else that's freely available though, and there has been some great racing.

And do you really mow your lawn around midnight?

No, the lawn mowing bit was not quite accurate as my hobby is Not mowing lawns.

I think CC would be a mistake for Suzuki. Go with Dovi (better than CC anyway) and a young hard charger like Jack

Have to agree they all said dovi wasint up to it, when honda had the 3 hrc bikes.

But to my mind guys so consistant and always does his best never seems complain.

He has made 3 diffrent bikes work for him so ideal guy to bring the suzuki up to speed.

I rekon need get Lorezo on a honda or of the yamaha not working for him way they changed it.

Way lawson went to honda . next year need a big shake up otherwise be mm procession again.

Dovi wasn't happy last year, this year it's likely resignation has set in. He probably says a prayer each night asking for the new bike to be a winner.

Crutchlow is new to the problems so is more affected. Plus he has had mechanical failures. His complaints that he can't get comfortable on the bike and it can't be adjusted to fit him, plus the usual steering problems echo what Rossi said earlier so it's not just him. His public comments may not be doing him any favours though, and if he doesn't shut up Crazy Joe might get his ride.

A large part of Lorenzo's problem is the new Bridgestones, that and the new fuel conserving measures which make the Yamahas power arrive in a more abrupt manner.
Funny how things change, last year he was the only real threat to MM. Not this year so far, not close.

Suzuki have a history of providing only limited resources to team, there are already comments that this is happening again. I'm not sure if a Suzuki contract is going to be quite the catch it would seem.

Suzuki have won the champs a few times and they were as small then as they are now, ( The smallest of all them) so I truly believe with the write rider they could be up there again

My feeling is that the Millers are being a bit silly here.
THey know what they have signed and frankly, every single other rider in the paddock would give their left nut, or both even, to get a Moto2 ride with MVDS.
And they are thinking about moving to MotoGP, so 2016?
It's a no brainer really, regardless of other offers.
Is this another case of swelling head syndrome?

If you didn't know better you might get the impression he was Australian.

Well boys and girls we are in for a busy night. The German GP Sunday night on Sommet from 9.00PM.
Then WSBK at Laguna Seca from 5.30AM Monday on Sky Sport 1.

It's a tough life working in the paddock. There are already complaints about American airport officialdom, airliners with no individual TVs, and one person just wondering why he is at the airport waiting to board an aircraft yet again. That latter thought should only occur in the latter stages of a career? I hope the events of the weekend cheer him up.

And with the WSB being at Laguna, the usa domestic series will be racing also. BUT NO TV coverage of there races, man in a country the size of the USA that is total bull shit, worse than what we see officuals do or not do here

There have been a lot of words written about the decline of AMA racing which apparently is but a shadow of its former self with very few races in a season.
I wasn't paying much attention as while it's sad I'm not involved. If anyone wants to know more you could scroll back through Backmarker's blogs or just search Google, or DuckDuckGo, if like me, you don't like your every move being tracked for commercial gain.

I followed your link expecting to read something about the AMA and cam across the most gloriously bitchy take-down of an ex-colleague I have ever seen. Rossi vs Stoner had nothing on this. There seem to be posts about motorcycling on the blog too. Gold!

Scroll back far enough you should find his thoughts on the AMA, on sharing a motel with multiple prostitutes, and the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster.
He is one of the better writers on matters motorcycling IMHO. He doesn't just do bitchy, although he doesn't really like the "live to ride, ride to live - Duck Dynasty reject" Harley types.

If you like good writing this guy is also worth following, although he writes only occasionally: http://www.bikesandbuddies.com
He writes of the Harley set, no racing there.

Yeah, don't hold back!

But of course if the guy is an arsehole when he's alive, he just becomes a dead arsehole when he dies
