MotoGP 2013

I did mean that - MM is strong enough to win the next 5 world championships (as well as the next four races).

It also helps that the Honda seems to be a bit stronger than the Yamaha in a couple of areas and the 'point-and-squirt' strength of the Honda suits MM's riding style.

As long as MM stays uninjured, he is the next Rossi and will be dominant - another contender for the title of 'goat'.

I have always laughed at that rule. It's fucken hard to commit to going the long way round some squid, with a shiny new full license to match his shiny new gixxer thou, when they take three attempts to tip into any given corner.

Dumb rule, must be a Nth thing, "A" class for the "fast" group down here is pass anywhere, generally though, they are still to scary to pass anywhere!.

We have a specific race class attatched to track days, the "fast" road guys are allowed to dip their toes, but usually survive only one session, the 12yr olds on their RG150's giving no quarter to the guys on their R1's and ZX10's ect scares them back to where they came from, not necessarally helpfull to getting new racers though.

Intersesting that the same shiny squid in his shiny leathers,shiny boots, shiny Arai on his shiny UJM1000, having been advised at riders briefing, that there would be race guys in dayglo vests sprinkled through the groups, in A class they don't follow and learn as advised,( as we wobble about slowly enough for them to keep up), they set you as a target to pass!?, doesn't half annoy them when you zip back through off the next turn, turned back in the saddle looking back at them, still on the gas, tapping the tail to indicate "follow me".

Occasionally though, you get one that wants to learn, will try what you indicate, will come and talk to you between sessions, and make progress throughout the day, I love seeing that, last time I did a track day, had an older bloke( should be carefull how I say that just in case it was me was older!) on a 999, followed, talked to me, I sneaked up on him a few times, corrected stuff, became my project for the day, by the last session, he was going around 10 seconds better and passing the R1/GSXR brigade and looking nice and tidy and composed

Howz that work up Nth, same or different?

Nah mate Nth Islanders have to ride their bikes home at the end of a trackday...

Trailering must be a Sth Islander thing.

One thing I noticed during the torrent I was watching was that there was a clip of Fusiwara (head honcho Honda) & Marques having several crack ups about whatever....must be something to the lad as I havnt seen that kind of animation from Fusi since a while.

Stoner vs Marquez. Now that would be something to watch.

This is pretty harsh, but it's interesting that people are beginning to want some more excitement out of the rider who gets the second Honda team bike. Like I said, Dani's position in the Repsol team must be tenuous.

Bring back Stoner, put Crutchlow on a Honda and turn off the traction control! You'd have Stoner, MM and Crutchlow out front and you would not dare take your eyes of the action, George would be screwed by the removal of the electronics, beautifull to watch him out in front on his own, but no electronics would undo him, would be happy for him to prove me wrong though.

No electronics, and Rossi might give his fans some joy too, he did ride 500GP when the electronics were not so clever, and those bikes were animals.

LOl. Yeah a bit over the top. And yeah...Stoner vs MM ftw! Doubt we'll ever see it though.

Biggest problem with that is the kid will follow Stoner around for a while, learn all his tricks, pass him and win. One thing that doesn't get mentioned about Marquez is he observes and learns at an incredible rate.

Yeah all pie in the sky stuff I know...but I still feel Stoner had the raw speed to be able to come back at him. Stoner was forever evolving too I reckon. One of life's tradgedies that we'll prob never see it.

Your English ticks me off, MM has been showing exceptional skill for a rookie. Nobody else seems to be able to sit on the ragged edge like he can, or shrug off injuries sustained in practice/qualifying.

Pity his skills dont realte to getting past someone with out taking them out . i cant wait till gets

The same thing done to him . that and think he should be either another two penelty points

or be exculded from the next round .

All that talk about danny being number one hrc rider i thought was aload of bs he was talking.

I dont know just dont like him well just find him really anoying dont know why.
