MotoGP 2015

[Doppleganger]

Rossi couldn't make the call. Rossi is fucking past it. Rossi got beat by Loris Baz.

Rossi wasnt racing Baz, he was racing Lorenzo

Wonder if Rossi was to win if he will retire as champ.
Cant be a lot of riding time left for him now.
Kind of hope he hangs in for the win. Could be the last chance he will get at another championship before youth wins over.

Waddya talkn about the old goat is gettn faster.

Next year is all on for young an old what with the bikes running standard leccy blankets and new michelins to contend with.

In saying that tho the more things change the more money Honda has to throw at it.

He is under contract untill 2016, and he is not ready to retire yet man.

To take advantage of modern rubber?
Rubber is not a problem
To allow greater power output without overstressing transmission componentry?
1) seen the gearbox on one? they are not the weak link
2) More power won't make one necessarily go around a circuit quicker
To dig the sound it makes..
They sound okay onboard.

Frits was kind enough to provide his view of this matter, of trying a 90`"crossplane" crankshaft in a TZ 750 - over on the "Oddball Engines..." thread,
- if anyone is interested, & yeah, he agrees it'd be worth a go.. ( so.. in your face.. M-25, hah..)

That sums it up perfectly Doppleganger.

So easy to be ''Captain Hindsight'' with fucked up races like this.

And so hard for Rossi's cock smokers to admit he made a mistake

...again...Lorenzo made the bigger one...

Believe me, as a Lorenzo fan, that hasn't escaped me.

I just don't recall Rossi being so tactically inept before.

...I will admit that it is the first time I have yelled at VR, through the screen, questioning his tactic and calling him derogatory names...

I think he stayed out to try and gain an advantage on JL, it was either that or a race from the pits. Not the best call but the pressure told on JL so it was a better outcome in the end. Whichever way you chew it they were all playing high speed chess in the rain. Another WTF race.

Just my 2c from the armchair.

Exactly.

A smart man racing a smart race, he could see he was gapping Lorenzo on shagged wets and played the waiting game, he was his only competition.

Shame Lorenzo's crew allowed his tyre to cool down too much, should have had a spotter at pit entrance advising when he was coming in and leaving the warmer on and bike ticking over. Would only of taken a second to pull it of and whip away the stand. Still they'll know for next time eh

What race did you watch? Because if Lorenzo hadn't biffed it he would have had a five second lead on Rossi at least.

and if he had kept pushing to beat Baz and binned it everyone would be saying what a thick cunt he is and shoulda settled for 5th...

[pritch]

He nearly doubled his lead in the championship, as mistakes go that ain't bad. And a whole lot better than Jorge's.

This morning JL posted a picture of himself grovelling in the gravel accompanied by this, "Crashes defeat weak people, but inspire tough people."
Seems a bit desperate?
