    McGuinness knows that of which he speaks. Marquez' father is usually in the pits, he should be keeping a close eye on his lad. Alberto Puig will likely be more concerned with Honda's results than with Marquez' welfare.

    I generally don't pass judgement on people I haven't met myself.

    But Puig is almost certainly a deadset cunt

    From memory, McGuinness is pretty familiar with honda too..
    I think it is a bit tricky though, MM seems able to adapt his "racing style", if you know what I mean, but his nature, the dude who has to push his machinery as hard as he can, I am not sure that can be changed. Unless he some how realises that he cant win any more unless he changes - he might know that on an intellectual level, but in a primal nature level, he doesnt.

    That's why I have resorted to other means... I have ep 1,5,6,7,8 - but cant find 2,3,4.
    Yep, I was stuck on the same episodes, some of questionable quality! Until....

    The subtitled version is much better than dubbed.

    It wasn't too hard to see this being the case.

    Keith Huewen's comments were interesting in the podcast..

    Keith Huewen: Why I'm concerned for Marc Marquez's MotoGP career | MotoGP | News (crash.net)

    What happens if he is doing 320 down the back straight in a bunch of riders and suddenly gets double vision..

    It could be the end of his racing career now.

    Agree bud, how do you begin to advise a young fella (and he is a young fella compared to me!) that he's done enough...
    He's certainly not a beige creature like Dovi, he wants to win !

    I didn't think much about hammering my body for many years , motorbikes ,serious Squash player etc.
    But boy am I suffering now at 73 in ten days !!!!
    The wife says I am paying now,but hey, I'd do it all again the very same way.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    God only knows...

    Hopefully there are people on a higher paygrade than us who know..

    Think that's a bit unfair on Dovi. A world champion who, if not for unfortunate timing of being around the same time as one of the absolute best (MM) would have been 3 time motoGP champion as well, is now ending his career a bit like Rossi did.

    Let's see if MM is still as fast as Dovi at 38.

    .
    . Ok I wouldn't bet against it, but ya know?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I could have not mentioned beige,I liked him in 250. Good braker and was able to use the Doocati HP.

    Still think it's his swan song tho..... two many young brave fellas out there now.... Didn't think the Yamaha would suit him from the beginning. But thought just maybe his corner speed might appear ?
    The Binder kid on the Yam liked the wet ?
    Go Fabio Q !!!!! ciao xx

    Forgetting the seasons prior where he got his arse handed to him by all the other aliens, 1 win whilst onboard a factory Honda and only in the rain?
    He didn't win the title as he wasn't good enough (as stated by you), that Ducati has been up for a title for many years now and its best chances were earlier before everyone caught up. Now the Suzuki can slipstream them and pass them on the straight... If they'd kept Jorge they'd have a few titles by now (even against MM). Good rider, but his wins came from tyre management rather than outright pace. He'll be gone by the end of the season as the young fullas just want it more.
    Scenario for you to contemplate:
    Quatararo leaves Yamaha at the end of the year as he's sick of the lack of HP
    Toprak slots into his seat alongside Franco as he's said he will only move for full factory machinery
    Does Dovi keep that seat or do they bring in another rider along side DB?

    Hmmmmm

    Oh I think he is well past his best, I'm just saying he was pretty good.

    Hmm, quick wiki, oh hes only 36, was off by a couple of years, but heres an excerpt;

    Dovizioso is one of the most successful modern MotoGP riders with 15 MotoGP victories and 62 podiums.

    2004 he won the 125s. Seems a while back.

    He was just unfortunate, as mentioned, to come up against Stoner, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Rossi then finally Marquez in his career. Good, but those others had it over him week in week out. Bit like Crutchlow really, unsurprisingly he and CC were about the same speed on the Yamaha when they were on it. Good racer for sure, just lacking that special sauce.
