MotoGP Estoril

[puddytat]

Yup Marquez is my favourite rider in the GPs! Lorenzo was when he was in the 125s and 250s but he has turned into a cock with his after race shit

Yup I agree, his success is feeding his ego big time. Funny how Rossi comes across as funny & seems to make some kind of point with his antics,without it being a attention grabbing stunt.
But in saying that, credit given where credits due...

That little Repsol guy in 125 has a lot of heart, been following him all year.
He's out by 17 points now, barring a major balls up, he should be champion.

Well that was pretty exciting. Another talented Spanish midget... there must be some kind of breeding program underway over there.

From the way he was able to go from last to fifth in the run up to the first corner... doesn't seem to be a level playing field... but he's certainly a racer.

Na Lorenzo has ALWAYS been a cock! That boy can ride though! Marquez is showing some true champion qualities this year - he deserves the 125 crown no doubt. The rider I support is Spies. Just a straight up no nonsense guy - the closest thing to a kiwi in that field....

I can't wait till Maquez gets his leg over a MotoGP bike..................

He just has sooooo much promise, eh.

Surely mangers are talking to him now about his future direction?

Yeh Bill, he looks so neat on a bike and does it all well.
Me on the other hand with my petite 95 kg frame, I look like a sack of spuds lol.

I really like Moody, Ryder and Spalding on Eurosport. Don't rate the Beeb.

Absolutely. There is no comparison. They are experts. The BBC guys just idiots and plain annoying.

Also regarding Marquez - I posted this on another thread http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/...d&refmodpos=A4

Hey thanks for that Cleve. A great read and an account of a well deservering Champion (If he misses out I will be gutted!) and a great team.

It's guys like them who make motorcycle sport so wonderful...................

That there is,Alberto Puig started the Telefonica Juniors in 1999.He handpicked 25 young hopefuls out of thousands of applications and went National racing on 125 GP bikes supplied by Aprilia.

Pedrosa 15 & Toni Elias 18 at the time (wonder what they're doing these days) were among the 3 he personally took GP racing for his team...the rest is history.

Success breeds success.

Ah yes I've heard of Alberto Puig... usually prefaced by "That bastard..."

Yeah, I reckon Lorenzo's a tool. But you have to accept that this is how it is:

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2010/...milingsete.htm

Back to Portugal. A master at psychological warfare and with the talent and technique to back it up, Rossi led Estoril with Lorenzo shadowing him. How would Rossi react if Lorenzo attempted to pass? The Italian began to stick his leg out as he braked into the corners, trying to break Lorenzo's concentration.

And just like that it was over.

Lorenzo passed Rossi and after he relinquished the lead it seemed as if Rossi were suddenly dragging a church piano behind him. Lorenzo put in crushingly fast laps until he had a nine second advantage, and Rossi never answered. After the race, Rossi, now assuredly humbled, said, "I had no way to fight with him. I tried to stay with him but he was too fast."

It wasn't the first time this season that Rossi could only watch powerless as Lorenzo streaked away in the distance, but never before did it seem so obvious.

Yes, but ... he'd been sticking his leg out as he braked into corners since the start of the race.

I heard the clown doing commentary saying the leg was out to stop him passing ? FFS.
Oh, and the other classic with Hayden,"back yard moves" Jeeesus.
