MotoGP 2013

If Lorenzo does successfully defend his world championship it's because he refused to give up. He's been in the trenches, fighting bare knuckled for it. Remember how he ignored a broken collarbone and scored points in two races and they pretty much had to lift him off the bike at the end?
I do think it's bullshit that MM lost a bunch of points because he broke a rule that had been instituted that morning (a start from the back of the grid or something like that would have been appropriate in my view).
But "handing" it to Lorenzo? No way, not at all.

Be great for Yamaha to come back, wasn't knock'n, just thought it'd be a Am Cup come back.
Lorenzo great, Rossi f...kn fantastic but alas no !
As I said surely MM won't lose it from here ???????????????????? Bet they're trying to calm (slow him )him down as we speak.

Maybe he'll come back on a Suzuki.

Yeah, he can ride my SJ50, he'd have to be careful though it hasn't got traction control.

[Robert Taylor]

Lorenzo to win by 2 points at the final round....

Yamaha riders are better at counting elapsed laps

[Badjelly]

Yeah, no one is saying Staring and Cudlin (?? not sure about that) should not have been penalised.

Cudlin's disqualification has been reversed. He pitted on lap 9 & then again on lap 11. The race director black-flagged him after he saw the 2nd pit stop, but then reinstated him when he was told that the 10-lap limit had not been exceeded. A bit of a cock-up really.

That is a cock up. If he was black flagged and stopped, how can he be reinstated? Then again, with an extra pit stop he wasn't really in the running anyway.

The MM incident was about his team trying to gain an advantage by "creative" application of the rules. It probably doesn't pay to be too cunning if you are working in a language other than your own?

But I now understand the real cause of MMs disqualification, it's because I put him in my MCN Fantasy Race team. The kiss of death if ever there was one.

Well have ticked off my first MotoGP and visit to Phillip Island, all i can say is fantastic, I'd do it again tomorrow.
It will definately go on the planning list for when finances and timing allow another overseas holiday.
I'll have to get a DVD of the races to see all the goings on with the bike changes etc as was on the far side of the track when that was going on. No one told me the Moto3 bikes were the loudest things out there, bugger me when they came out of lukey heights and wound it on around the sweeper heading to the main straight it was awesome, they get up to fair rate of knots pretty quickly too.

Cheers

Tough buggers.

Good story on motomatters.com as well on internal politics in the HRC garage.

The MotoGP paddock is really political. That's why Pete Benson isn't going back to MotoGP with Scott Redding, it's one of the reasons (not the main one obviously) Ben Spies got the shits with Yamaha and it's one of the things Stoner always hated about the top class. Usually the shit comes from a rivally between the riders that works it's way up into management and down into the crew, but this time it's starting at the top of the team and working it's way down. My money is on Puig!!
