MotoGP 2012

Probably right - but the "chance" was a risky chance as Pol went for a gap that was between the curb and an out of shape Marqez and he took the risk of squeezing through, as any determined competitive racer would and collided with another determined racer who was slightly ahead and who took the line. A racing incident.

The weaving is another subject.

Yeah Bill, both are very keen young men and shit happens but that passing that MM does on the brakes and then chops the bows of the passee looks bloody dangerous.
Great rider though, just needs a tune up.

Thanks for the clip...cuse the pun! To be honest, I can't really see anything too wrong with that.

[Matt Bleck]

Anyone noticed what Jorge does with his elbows when he's cornering? When he's going around left hand corners he tucks his elbow inside his knee while hanging off, then when he goes around a right hander he tucks his elbow in side his knee untill, I presume, he get on the gas and it moves to the outside of his knee? It looks sorta unco....

I'm interested in some opinions here...


So I ask you to explain to me, what is the critical difference between Simoncelli and Marquez? .

I reckon its the Hair...

[denill]

I reckon its the Hair...

Yeah, a good question and one I have wondered about.

When all the factors are weighed - not a lot of difference, IMO.

Two 'racers' who will do what it takes to win.

So I ask you to explain to me, what is the critical difference between Simoncelli and Marquez? Is there a difference, or am I looking back with rose-tinted glasses? I know that both have been popular and unpopular with their various fanbases. But I do feel like overall they have been received quite differently from one another.

The difference is Simo actually gave a fuck about other riders safety. He pushed things really hard and had a few incidents but they weren't dangerous. Marquez doesn't give a fuck. He literally doesn't take anything into account he can't see. So once he's past another rider and they're out of his field of vision they might as well not exist.

shit that is a hard one, my initial reation was marquez is wrong....as per the rules quoted by FIM......but he only lost control for a second or so....i won't be surprised if they uphold it and i won't be surprised if they don't..not so much on the fence as part of it....

[Brian d marge]

becareful with those knitting needles Darling one could get hurt.

MM pretty much always moves over if he get a wheel in front ....live with it, I reckon

I fell asleep during motogp , so will watch the last half

Carry on ladies

Nah, nothing in it, Marquez lost the front , saved it then thought "shit i better get back in tight otherwise someone might want that piece of track", - which is the correct decision as there was no one directly beside him at the time.

Unfortunate though for a rider to take a heavy fall like that though - coulda come out a lot worse.

[codgyoleracer]

Anyone else spot Stoner going down the front straight with just the heel of his hand on the left bar ?

Pump ?

I've always thought he rides with incredibly 'soft' hands. Seems he likes to piss on them.

Maybe it works? You see a lot of the top guys with taped up hands like a fucking boxer. But never Stoner.

Sheesh. I've heard of peeps pissing on their feet in WWI to stop trench foot...but ya hands?

Thought the trick was to use meths to harden up the hands? Some may drink it first before passing it on to their hands.

There's a geezer I walk past most mornings on my way to work that drinks meths. Wonder how much longer he'll last.
