Scrivy beats ya all- he always has a brilliant reason to be at wanga
Damn right. VR has won at PI 6 times. That's as many as Stoner. You'reghey has won there once.
JL's comments about his luck reminds me of the saying 'The harder you work, the luckier you are'. Not saying he's not working hard - but to blame it on something outside his control is a bit unfair to VR.
Also reminds me of Rhonda Rousey's book, where she said if you lose a split decision that's your fault, not the judges. In other words, blaming it on things outside your control, is an admission that you let it come down to things outside your control.
"It's hard to keep an open mind, when so many people are trying to put things in it"
That's attributed to Gary Player. A commentator congratulated him on the lucky shot he had during a round.
He replied, "Yeah, the more I practice the luckier I get."
He may have been just a tad miffed at having his skills attributed to luck.
Meanwhile back at PI.
Miller is fast. The Motopod crew suggested that he might be.
A few weeks ago there was speculation that Miller had received a rocket up the arse from Honda. Apparently he was not considered to be taking things seriously enough. That may have been true because now Albert Puig has reportedly been appointed as his minder.
Some people consider Puig to have a malevolent influence on younger riders based on his history with Pedrosa. Puig has mentored other riders though, including Casey Stoner. Oh! Hang on...![]()
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
Thanks, wasn't aware of where it'd come from.
You must spread..... etc
It seems Miller's challenge is, he's quick enough, but the only way he knows how to stop crashing is to dial things back from 11 to 9. He needs to learn to walk the line. He was top open at Argentina. But has been a non-finisher 7 times this season. (I feel like I'm stating the obvious here somehow)

Faster than Crutchless and just behind Dani boy, not bad! Especially on what is considered a rather crap bike this year. Just confirmed with Marc VDS so they should be able to get him a better bike I am hoping, full factory satellite bike and he will leave the others in his wake. Wait n see!
Ant West's time aint half bad! If it rains...
Meanwhile JL if fucking rapid from the beginning.
Ducati much faster than anyone else on the straights but quite a way off the pace up front.
All Rossi has to do is follow Lorenzo around and take no risks to win the Championship. Telling him he's a slow, tinarse might upset him enough to make him try to prove that he isn't... which is when he'll fall off... mindgames, mindgames. Lorenzo's just fucking with him.
Man, people expect way too much from Miller. Honda always does this, puts so much pressure and expectation on their young riders. Marquez set their expectations, and very very few people out there are Marc Marquez.
It happened to Bradl, it's happened to Scott Redding, it's happening to Miller and it's going to happen to Tito Rabat and probably Alex Marquez too. Quartararo made a damn good move jumping ship to Leopard KTM in Moto3 2016, in my opinion.
Tech 3 had huge patience with Smith, and look how far he's come. Ducati/Pramac had huge patience with Iannone and look how far he's come. Just because MM came out the box to win a rookie world championship, you gotta remember that some of the best riders, namely Rossi, Pedrosa, to an extent Dovisioso and if you want to include him in the camp, Marco Simoncelli, needed time to grow up and grow into MotoGP.
Miller crashes lots, of course he does, he wasn't exactly a Danny Kent type temperament in Moto3 and you put him straight on a bike that's been universally shown to be a piece of crap. And now you're giving him the hurry up? Pull your head out HRC.
