MotoGP 2013

Hayden not having the fight in him? Come on any fucker who has made it to MotoGP don't need to prove they have the fight to any armchair critic. And you could say 'yes but compared to....', I still call bullshit. We only see from these guys what the PR machines show us, we know nothing of their 'fight'.

Screw the PR bulshit. My opinion is based on the riding as I see it.

Come on bay, that Duck is a POS, only one person as really punted that thing proper like and he was a freak!

Have seen some criticism of Nicky having 'only' three GP wins, but if you look closely, the only people in MotoGP now with more wins to their name are Rossi, Lorenzo and Pedrosa................and one of those has never won a championship............................

Though he's 28 yrs old he hasn't been round that long and seems to be putting in 120 %. He's in a hurry to make a name for himself and of course with that he's putting it all on the line. How long you can do that relates to luck as well. I saw him have quite a biggie right in front of me over a month ago now and he was hurting/crawling around on his hands and knees. I don't like the odds of riding like that forever.
Rossi and CC seem to be close on track but one is doing it easier by stepping back, the other trying his heart out.

I think you've summed him up well Gaz. While he may be first in FP1 this weekend - but yeah, he does have a desperate quality, never mind the fn torpedoes attitude.

Very different to the Lorenzo, Rossi style.

You cant keep crashin like that and not miss a session or race or two he has the pace though but he doesnt have the ability to overtake.rossi lorenzo and marquez(and a little aussie fella) do.I dont think dani has that last little x factor that the other guys have to make a decisive pass when they need to

I would NOT consider giving CC personal health cover , if I was an Insurer.

As much as you don't wish harm to these guys when they are out there putting their necks on the line, a few injuries has definitely made for a more interesting season

[ecko_nzed]

As for Crutchlow and passing, I think he just wants to do it clean and doesn't want to be the guy that ruins the championship chances of one of the other top guys. As his points, experience and confidence increase, he'll be stuffing it in there.

MM has been trying the line Rossi used in 'that' pass on Stoner. He did it on the scooter on Thursday and again in Q2 on his bike. Can't help but feel he's preparing to use it in the race if he feels it necessary.

Right, I'm calling it now.................Bautista takes out MM in the first lap............................

Rossi was let away with it, as a racing incident. He misjudged it and ran over the dirt after he was in front of Stoner.


Planning to go off track to make a pass, will cause grief.

Wow that was a bit different!
