MotoGP 2015

[merv]

I found the discussion on tyre allocation for this race interesting. The Honda guys, Cal included, said they needed a harder front tyre, but Bridgestone dictates which compounds they bring because they judge the weather forecast. That to me is ridiculous, I would prefer to see the teams choose what tyres they want from the year's allocation of compounds. In Mick Doohan's day he got overnight specials from Michelin and we aren't talking about that here we are still talking about control tyres that should be available to all.

I enjoyed this season. I would have enjoyed it more if Vale had won it. I'd like to see competing tyre manufacturers. Bring back Goodyear!

Ten titles would've been cool for sure. And yep...bring back open tyre competition! I've always been against the one make tyre rule. It's not spec racing like Moto2!

The Yanks probably think the AMA Nats are the world championship.

What a race

What a season.Next years testing starts this week.

Why, are they bucket racers?

Spec anything other than Max displacement is completely at odds with grand Prix racing. It dulls the whole thing.

I just watched it. What a ride. I wonder if the winner would have won, if the Doctor had started closer?

[The End]

Sums it up nicely

Maybe it was a special request from Uccio? Lovely, heartwarming, manhug between the two of them after the race.

Actually, as I recall the first manhug was for Alex Briggs who grabbed his bike. But then you definitely seem to have a penchant for seeing what you want to see.

If you can. Watch this. then think about those last laps.

I guess the only question is COULD Rossi have won if he started from the grid he would have been in?
Not Should or would but simply Could.
Were his lap times fast enough to be cutting it with those 3 guys?
he would have needed to be faster that pedro and MM at some point in the race.

granted VR had probably burned up his tyres,but the front three were going faster than him .And that has been the story of the season.VR does not have the absolute speed of the other three .vr was about 12 seconds behind when he got to fourth,he was 19 seconds behind dani at the end.and those useless commentators didt once talk about the time gap from dani to vr,that was the important fact not the 5 bloody points

[BMWST?]

Marquez suddenly found the wherewithal to pounce back on Pedrosa when he went past, then catch right back up to Lorenzo, yet never troubled Lorenzo once. It was all a bit blatant.

Best man? Most consistent rider this year for sure.

I'm going to switch back to superbikes for a couple of years I think. Bad form all round.

you are a dreamer,Dani hant even put a bike length on him.If you learned nothing all season you should know that MM is now the master at the immediate overtake,and once he had done that Jlo had got the fraction of the break he needed.The race was over then.Now if MM had let dani go and just follow ,that may have been different!

[Erelyes]

I dunno if I would call Nicky Hayden an 'era'.

216 starts and 3 wins. It's a fucking miracle he was ever world champ

If you can. Watch this. then think about those last laps.

Repost dude

Wow... that was a tense last few laps. Observations

- MM 'might' have helped JL. Is anyone in doubt that Petrucci helped VR? Let's not hold double standards.
- I didn't like DP much before the second half of this season, but his performance of late has been fantastic, and he's a real gent.
- Even though VR made it to 4th, he was still slower than the top 3. Conservative? Or just not quick enough?
- Next season is gonna be freaking interesting.
- JL might have beaten VR, but at the end of the day, VR has noone to blame but himself. He simply wasn't fast enough, and JL was not only blisteringly fast but consistent. 7 wins, 12 podiums, don't lie.

I wanted to see VR win. But I wanted to see him do it by being fast, and it didn't happen.

DP for champ next year!!!!

[BMWST?]

I hope someone lays a complain against MM for match fixing. I'm sure the pace at the front was near 100% but for MM to not even show JL a wheel then to put the hard moves on DP when he got close makes it pretty hard to argue MM wasn't JLs wingman in that race.

another dreamer,read post 4000

Pedrosa used to come across as a surly little twat. Suddenly he's a shining example to everybody else as to how to conduct yourself. I hope next year he can do better than his normal couple of wins.

[bogan]

I'm just dissapointed VR never caught up to MM. Bet there would have been some wheels shown then

Fuck the conspiracy theories, flag to flag sorts em out. Rossi got what he deserved, so did Lorenzo, and MM. Since those fuckwits show Danni in a good light, I just hope next year he deserves the title.

Yeah. I saw Jorge Lorenzo win the championship.

I saw Rossi disgrace his legacy and the sport.

I saw the fanboi zombie horde with their faces still firmly wedged between his buttcheeks.

And that's as good as it will get for you. Rossi will continue to dwindle and whine until he sputters out. Give his ride to Vinales now.
