MotoGP 2014

If he doesn't crash or get taken out I reckon we will see him win every race this season.
Wonder what the odds are?
has anyone ever won them all in a season?

Surtees in '59, and Ago in '68.

Ben Spies sums it up at the end of this article on Soup, and remembering Spies thought he was tops after beating Mladin in USA http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2014/...rydernotes.htm

Sorry Ben, this is MotoGP not DMG Superbike racing. Liked this comment of his in the article "When Casey Stoner or Marc Marquez went past, I had no idea how they could do that stuff."

Lol. Don't let Oscar read that mate!

Is the sommet coverage BT sport? or aussie?

Today was the MotoGP coverage (Nick Harris et al).

And the weather forecast is for isolated thunderstorms with a 30 per cent chance of rain.
Which is actually a lower percentage than was previously forecast.

Those emboldened to predict an unbeaten season may have overlooked the vagaries introduced by inclement weather? Although the way MM slides around in the dry, a wet track may not bother him all that much.

[QUOTE=denill;1130706208]Some surprises (Except MM is flying) but wtf is with JL?

Bill, you got a glass ball ???? badly wanted to make amends for Qatar Huh ?
I haven't heard the after chat but guess a few had tyres woes ?

ps Commentary a lot better in both GP and WSB.

Marquez on the last corner.......

Jorge jumping the start by a mile...

Man has JL cost himself Millions in the negotiations for next year in the last 2 rounds with Yamaha

I watched the GP coverage on Sommet, the race didn't reach the dizzy heights and was at best "interesting'. As Shaun says, Lorenzo's brain explosion could cost him millions. Will be interested to read what happened to Rossi, and to Crutchlow before he crashed.

Was pissed off with the commentators who reported that both Smith and Rossi had crashed when they had not. That is something that Steve Martin is hot on in SBK, while Jonathon Green will spout whatever comes into his head. It's slightly worrying that Green was in Texas for the race, I hope he isn't going to do GP commentaries.

Watched the Moto3 and Moto2 races on the 'net, neither had commentary. Not a totally bad thing, but my internal commentary would need more beeps than a Jack Miller interview.

Race of the day Moto3. Shame about the pile up in Moto2.

Rossi out drove his front tyre. Stuffed the right side of it.
Crutchlow had changed the rear tyre not long before losing it.

JL's got 16 more races to get his shit together but its looking like a one horse (Honda) race for the season so far. If its just going to to be Marquez and Pedrosa leaving everyone one else for dead then its gonna be a boring season....

Jonathon Green can move to MotoGP, and leave Steve Martin at WSBK!
Must admit, that MotoGP race was reallllyyyy boring to watch.....

Say what you like about Smith but he doesn't fuck about waiting for an engraved invitation to overtake

Crutchlow used to drive me nuts.

Yep. I've been a kocker but he's coming along well. Good on him. Crutchlow still does. WTF did he expect when he signed on the dotted line?

[pritch]

I did like this. The two of them wanting the same piece of track late in the race..

[GD66]

Yep. I've been a knocker but he's coming along well. Good on him

Same here. Great ride. And while we're handing it out, faultless ride by Iannone till the front cried enough. Immaculate.
