MotoGP 2016

I'm basing my opinion on the way he rode at Valencia 2014.

Which was brilliant! Best moto3 championship ever imo. Shame Kent didnt pull off that last lap move on Marquez junior to give Miller the championship.

Yeah for sure the championship was a goodin, Miller's riding at that round not so. Filthiest, most dangerous display I've ever seen. And if any cunt had ever done that to me in my time, I would've run them into the dirt.

Just like Marquez did to him on the wet track? Goes both ways . Miller has an awesome ability to put a bike exactly where he wants it on track. At that time it was up the inside of young Alex. But we have already been over this at the time from memory

I've yet to see that. And even IF he did...far cry from using some cunt as a berm every single corner mate. Picking your bike up mid corner to run another off the track is neither good nor clever, and it's most certainly not skillful. But what would I know?

Unfortunate exhaust system names for $300, Alex.

Scott Redding on Miller: "He was riding like a f**cking out of control lunatic and then he crashes again."

http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/229...th-miller.html

What do they say, any one faster is riding like a lunatic and anyone slower is a muppet!

Redding's comments (and I do like the guy!) smacks of "the bastard was quicker than me and showed me up, so I have to bag him."

Most of the real experts (as opposed to the arm chair ones) say that it's easier to stop a fast guy crashing than make a slow guy who doesn't crash, go fast. Miller I think is trying to make sure he gets seen as the former this year so as to not end up in the cycle of being a journeyman and succumb to a life of second tier bikes, scratching for a ride every year.

So when Miller shot past Lorenzo you thought "sweet he's on for a podium here"?

Personally I Just ignored it because it was a racing certainty that he'd be on his arse in no time... nek minnit...

Don't think riding like a twat is going to help his future. Solid qualifying and finishing in the points just might.

Correct. He'll still be a fuckwit though.

Where did I mention passing Lorenzo and how is that relevant?

Hell, sold results and finishing in the points did a lot for Smith. Got the "Don't Come Monday" at the start of the season and signing with KTM for 2017.

But look at the likes of Laverty, Bradl etc, good solid riders who get the occassional surprise result, but I think will spend life lost in the mid field. Miller is getting noticed, sure, not for the right things at times, but he's showing massive improvement and the team managers will be thinking "okay he's riding like a twat at times, but he as the speed and we'll get him under control"

Schwantz biffed up the road a shit load in the early days, as did Doohan (hell his nickname in 1989 was "Dead by June"), Abe, Carlos Checka (Aka Chucka) and a bunch of others. BUT they all got works rides.....

No he didn't. Herve was practically begging him to say.

Honda gave Millar the hard word last year. Solid qualifying and points...

[malcy25]

Begging to stay huh......must be the French way of showing it!

"On the eve of this weekend's Qatar season-opener Smith revealed there would not be a place for him at Tech 3 next season, as Yamaha looks to develop new young stars for the future.

Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal later played down talk that Smith or team-mate Pol Espargaro were definitely out, but the 25-year-old had probably already made up his mind to join the Austrian manufacturer. "

Poncharal might have liked to keep Smith but that was not an option. He said the Tech3 role is to bring through young riders, neither Smith nor Espagro are young now, therefore both got the heave to make way for a couple of up and comers.

Ignoring when he had Crutchlow and Dovi of course.

Wonder if Aprilia or ktm will be able to have the promise the Suzuki is showing us?
