Not so sure about his comments about Lorenzo and Stoner tho

https://www.superbikeplanet.com/expl...-dont-let-off/

Agreed, Marquez is not the only tough nut to have graced the MotoGP field. They all are.

"Jorge Lorenzo: Assen 2013
The latest in a long line of hardy men to climb back on two wheels when the rest of us were wincing...
Lorenzo broke his left collarbone on Thursday afternoon in a crash in free practice, flew to Barcelona the same day, was operated on in the early hours of Friday morning and then returned to the track in the Netherlands in the afternoon. After passing fitness tests on Saturday morning he rode in the race and placed fifth, just 48 hours after picking up the injury and a mere 36 hours after having a titanium plate and eight screws inserted into the bone."

Marquez is a tough nut no doubt, but I think the author does a disservice to the other riders.

And then we have this line from the author too -

I told him that the unfortunate reality of our sport is that the very best riders would rather be dead than finish second

Yup rather die than fight for the title.

Geez give that writer a beer and he'll be all like" Doohan was a pussy and so were those olden day guys where the death rate was several a season. At least the ones that survived were" . [ Continue rant to subtly imply the writer is made of the same stock, if it wasn't for the gammy leg from the war he'd have been out there. Blah blah].

I don't subscribe to the MM being a god amongst aliens hype though.
If he really was that good he'd have such a huge margin and would never crash.

Is his method of riding spectacular?
Yes

Was it dominant in his time?
Yes

What are we seeing now then? What we are seeing is the next step of guys who watched him race (just as he watched VR, CS, DP, JL etc) then thought fuck this guy ima smoke em.

Fabio was the first sign of this, damn near beating him on a b grade machine on multiple occasions.
Then Rins made him his bitch at Silverstone. Dovi gave him multiple servings...

He's only crashing so much as he's trying to keep that dominance but the level is so high because all these guys have watched him and raised the bar even more. Which is awesome. He's got the skill, but he's carrying the injuries now that the guys he contended with in the beginning had.

Its an awesome sport as nothing stands still.

Autechs opinion, but I'll be surprised if we ever see another era of MM dominance, soley because he's caused the bar to be raised once again.

Pedro Acosta the next step????

Hey, just a question regarding accessing this show on Prime Video.
I just opened my 7 Day free trial and it is not there.
Is anyone else watching it?
Is it only available when paying?
Or something else?

Answers on a postcard.....

In the meantime I can watch Picard and The Boys.

Cheers

We got a free year full subscription with our Fibre connection I searched Moto GP unlimited and Moto GP
No Unlimited came up

What the actual FUCK???
What, is NZ speschul or something.
I don't get that.

Found some insight here:

SKY TV strikes yet again.
Is it on SKY? Anyone?

[iYRe]

To be fair, we dont get a lot of the good stuff...

Having worked in media, its quite hard/expensive to get the rights for stuff, so you protect it like Harry Brown.

That's why I have resorted to other means... I have ep 1,5,6,7,8 - but cant find 2,3,4.

[iYRe]

PS, if you're considering using VPN, do some research to make sure you're not selling your soul to some one you dont want to own it.

Same...
'not avaliable in your area' when google searched

[Dadpole]

A little bird told me that the full set of MotoGP Unlimited (with full language and subtitle options) is available at https://www.limetorrents.pro/MotoGP-...-17205887.html

The subtitled version is much better than dubbed.

No, it's on Spark Sport in NZ at $24.99 per month, I click the 'suspend account' icon at the end of the season. They have F1, UEFA football, NBA, and a bunch of other stuff, you can fill your boots if you want. It costs me just under $200 for the 8 month season. It would be $222.98 paying for a MotoGP subscription. (Hmmm.)

Then you have to sort your devices. If you have a smart TV you should be good. Apple TV or Chromcast will work, but my Apple TV is too old to work with Spark so I watch on a lap top. Watching it on a cell phone would be a pain in the arse.

I went Spark Sport on the full year with discount $255-00 ($21.25 per month). I thought it was a reasonable deal for the extra $32 bucks compared to MotoGP Sub at $223-00 considering you get all the other sports incl F1 and rally.
My son watches the cricket via my account and the Mondial motorsport summaries aren't to bad on spark.
The only thing I miss compared to the MotoGP sub is the riders conferences.
