MotoGP 2013

Awesome stuff!

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

While it's off the track as far as the painted lines are concerned, (and the rules?) there is some dusty seal inside the paint. Maybe a couple of feet most of the way.

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

Racing luck being what it is, it'll probably be one of the poor bastards already carrying a buggered collarbone.

Might head on down to turn 2 to watch the first lap...

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.

Didn't wait long did he?

He was well into the dirt wasn't he ?? Risky stuff trying to emulate someone else's oopsie, but hey , it came off ok if a bit wobbly.

ps I watched this one on Cricfree tv as well as practice and Qual. Got the BSB recording as I speak.

You called it!!!!!

Very surprised he made the move there. He was faster than Rossi everywhere on the track, needless risk I would have thought.

I think he very much intended to pass Rossi in that famous Rossi corner in that famous Rossi fashion.

Don't be silly, he never intended Rossi to be behind him. You think he planned on fucking up the start, just for the opportunity to pass someone 50 points behind him in the championship, at the toughest two corners of the season?

You're right, Márquez didn't intend Rossi to be in front of him — but seeing as he was... then why not in that corner that he’d been lining up all weekend? It very well may have been a split second decision on Márquez’s part... or not. I’m not in his head, so I can’t say for sure; but having watched him over the years, he (like Rossi) is very calculating.

Hey, that pass will be talked about almost as much as the ’08 original I’m sure. Like the original, Márquez was lucky to get through. Unlike the original, there are probably less hard feelings. End of the day, it was spectacular to watch.
