Having been held out to ransom and subscribed to MotoGP.com theft it's a bit late for me to benifit - but we all MUST now click on the FB link and 'like' to show ppreciation.

I'm gonna go ahead, be a turbo cunt and say "pfft it's only highlights..."

I must be just a cunt then, cause I waited until someone else said that and then agreed with them.................

Ok ok ok

The photo you posted, at a certain angle, without seeing where each rider was coming from and the result, looks a lot like a very safe pass, granted. But that's because it's a photo at a specific time and a specific angle.

Check out the gif McWild posted:



It looked horribly wrong from the start, he starts from way back (cause he's passing) then the bike runs straight while his foot is still dragging on the road, he stated after the race that when he realised he and lorenzo were going to collide he let off the brake, I cant tell if this is the point, or if that comes later on, motorcycle intuition tells us that when you brake the bike stands up, but these are elite riders on elite bikes so I don't think that counts here. If he lets off later on then it's obvious that the reason he was braking earlier is because he's over cooked the corner (much like the last one). In the first case he's a good guy for realising early on what's up, in the latter he's still a bit of a kid for fucking up the corner.

The marshals have decided not to punish him though, so I must be wrong in respect to what constitutes a safe pass (unless dorna want some action in the GP)

But I still think Marquez was wrong for trying to pass, but I am glad he tried, you're 100% right there.


So Marquez has been known for his dirty riding, he has been quite well behaved so far, is this the first of many?

And I'm never going to say you're wrong and I'm right mate. We just obviously see it very differently. Have you seen film footage from diff angles as well though? Or just the one posted? How 'bout from MM's on board camera? From above...etc etc?

I knew being of Scottish decent would pay off Bill, at least you've been able to see the first 3 rounds !
You been watching the BSB ? ( No traction control either ), with great scaps all the way through the races. It shows why the top poms can win at WSBK.

ps under 3 weeks now, I just need Vale to win in France, Italy will go off anyway.

Yeah Gaz, it's a great 2nd prize. I can't believe the whinging that it's only? delayed hilights. Shit, I remember we had to wait for the mags to arrive in the shop weeks after the race. You just can't please some!

Great to get BSB (And there's whinging about that too!) Like I said somewhere earlier about WSBK, it's refreshing to see guys getting genuine enjoyment from their racing.

#46 winning in France? You're becoming delusional Gaz...............

I have to apologise for not proffering my take on the MM/JL incident. I have analysed the incident and reached an opinion. I know you have all been waiting with baited breath for that opinion, but I am sorry that I have decided to keep it to myself.

Hey, I gotta try LOL, that would make 4 rounds and 4 winners !!!!

I can remember (here I go again) waiting for 3 mths to get the paper version of MCN from England !!! Just to read about Agostini and Hailwood. Now thats OLD .

I'll take a win any which way, GD Preferably with an elbow in MM's ear just to show the young'un.

Talent & Aggression.

Thanks, a good read. I liked: "Stoner’s talent + Marco Simoncelli’s aggression = Marc Márquez."

Think that's a pretty fair piece.

[Mental Trousers]

Stoner’s talent + Marco Simoncelli’s aggression + Mick Doohan's will to dominate = Marc Márquez.

Only on track though. Off track he's the smiley, excitable kid rather than the bastard mind gamer that Doohan was.

Dunno about mind gamer. That's more Rossi's style. I think he was just a bloody minded grumpy cunt.

He only played one mind game, that was total domination. But he did it all the time. Marquez only tries to do it on track.
