MotoGP 2015

I think all of the Rossi fans and MM haters should be made to watch it mate.

Move on. You are playing the same old song and it's getting boring.
:yawn

OK, I know I'm well late to this party but I have been to freaking busy this week to get on KB till just now.
I watched the race and saw the replay footage many times, I thought the helicopter shot showed it best.
The way I saw it was MM passed Rossi, then in the corners where a pass was night on impossible would slow, then speed up where a pass was possibly on. When Rossi passed, MM rode like a demon to get back past, then repeat, and again, and again etc. Both myself and girlfriend commented on that watching the race live before MM had even crashed. So to my mind it is no point looking at overall lap times like Randy Mamaloa did, but more so the split lap times like you see in qualifying would better tell the tale. So yeah MM was being a right cunt, within the rules, but still a cunt.
Rossi did not kick him off, and I do not believe he wanted MM to crash, but rather run him riiiiight out to the edge. MM did not have to turn in when he did, he got impatient and payed the price. If Rossi had wanted to take him out, he would of done it another way - riders of his experience have many more subtle ways to get the job done without attracting instant sanctions.
I'm not condoning either riders actions, just calling it like I saw it.

Harris? You must be joking, he wouldn't know if someone was up him. Doctor Martin Raines (sp?) is the MotoGP statistician. He would probably love the question. He occasionally pops up on Twitter, if I see him I'll ask.

Edit: in a moment of impatience I have asked him anyway. Now we have to await his response - if any.

Thanks Pritch, lets see if he comes back with anything. I was joking about Harris of course, he does like to say his "first ever bastard born former monk to ever win a _______" lots though!

I saw an interview think its was MotoGP???
Where Rossi said he wanted to take him out to the edge of the track and stop and say "what the fuck are you doing" his words with the fuck beeped out.
So i take from that he just wanted to sort MM out and give him a dressing down. Prob lucky they both didnt stop we'd have been seeing a punch up lol

Fuck Off! Nothing is as annoying as a Ducati clutch.

I think the clutch on my 1954 AJS was better than the clutch on my S4R so you won't get an argument from me.

You're boring no matter the subject.

Kenny Roberts will be a but miffed at you for suggesting his baby Mondena was not a factory effort, even if it was made in England.
Both those riders were also world champions admittedly one a few years in the future and one in MX.

Mamola was kept around by Kenny and let go a couple of times from memory as to many of his crashes were doing wheelies and in warm up laps etc. I only seen the tail end of his career but I remember him for entertainment.
He had a reputation for goofing around when the sport was a little more serious than it was only a few years earlier on.
Kenny kept him on the books I think as he was a very good development rider and tyre tester.

I'm sure Kenny does not read Kb lol but they deff were not a factory team. Yes R Mamola clowned around all the time, hence his crashes etc. And now he even clowns around still as part of the decision making re VR and MM last weekend. I remember seeing Mamola at wanganui in the good old Marb? Cigarette people days way back when. I must have been younger than 9 at the time

The Diavel clutch requires Arnold Schwarzenegger's grip strength to pull it in. Fucking awful in traffic!

Yaaanonee is keep for a scap for 4th

Should be a laugh if the two of them get together for a battle in Valencia. Not been too much scrapping between them this year, Iannone's straight line speed won't be quite as dramatic vs Pedrosa's Honda plus ability to get it out of the corners. We know who my money is on
