1) How awesome does the Sic58 livery look in Moto3!?
Paolo Simoncelli must be a special kind of guy.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
I have a feeling Ayrton Senna and Marquez would have got along well:
"By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right."
Marquez's move was nothing more than a lunge, but he hoped I think to cut off Dovi's nose long enough to out drag him to the line, unfortunately for MM the Ducati relys on squaring off and hauling arse out of a corner to get it's speed so it was not great hassle for Dovi to just drop the bike under him and fly to victory. This time though apparently Dovi was not expecting an attack, but he still managed to get the win showing how cool he is under pressure. Top notch.
Bro, there was indeed a gap there. Dovi prob even sucked him into it by going a lil wide and not protecting the line knowing full he he'd be coming. Oldest race manovure in the book. Go back and watch the 2008 season. Rossi tried the same thing on Stoner at nearly every corner at most rounds, and Stoner did exactly what Dovi's been doing to MM. MM hasn't skittled anyone doing it, so all's fair. And a fucking GREAT spectacle.
imho th ability to actually "race" AND overtake is the mark of a champion.There only a few that will/can do it and they are MM VR JL and MV Those four will make a pass where the others wont......and MM will risk all to do it,MV may be just as merciless but we havent really seen it yet
I agree with the last two occasions but this time round going off press comments and what I saw I reckon he wasn't expecting that one, but the end result was all the same, Dovi let him have a bit of track then bent him over and took the win all the same. Race craft from both was epic because:
If MM had managed to block Dovis nose by pulling it up a metre or two earlier it would have been him on the top step n not Dovi.
That's what the goal is of such a move, put it there long enough to stop their exit drive n giggle with the grid girls.
The counter is move is the above, give him the track then root him with it all the same.
Racing at its finest
