It wasn't the stoppie that impressed me so much as when he lost the front end, picked it up with his knee, carried on and still broke the lap record. Again.
Any one of his four fastest laps would have put him on pole.

:

I agree mate. That's what I was referring to. He's one sick fuck.

[Crasherfromwayback]

If he doesn't crash or get taken out I reckon we will see him win every race this season.
Wonder what the odds are?
has anyone ever won them all in a season?

Nah. There are plenty of tracks that favour the Yamaha's better mid corner speed/lorenzo's incredible talent that'll stop that from happening I reckon mate.

That was incredible. Was that the one where they cut to Rainey in the pits and he was just shaking his head and laughing?

I was thinking "fuck this is going to get ugly!"... but no... just part of a days work.

A quick google shows she was just a one of those breakfast show presenters.
Not sure why they hired her, sure her big ol fake tits are alright to look at but i find her quite annoying.
Although im hoping B Smith will put something in that annoying mouth of hers by the end of the season.

Indeed it was. This doesn't do it justice but the top pic gives a hint...

I think Ago won every 350 Gp and Every 500gp in 1968
But the competition was not as fair..........

Ummm that's damning with faint praise. According to Wikipedia she has worked in TV and radio for fifteen or more years.

When she copped some flak from the keyboard warriors who didn't like the change to BTSport, she was defended by other commentators as a TV professional who has been doing the job for a long time and wouldn't be there if she was no good. Her northern accent should be easier to understand than Guy Martin's? I would still like to see the BTSport crew in action.

Haven't seen it mentioned here yet but the Russian round has been cancelled this year due to the political situation in the area. It must be close to the Ukraine. Various people commented but Oxley's remark was most interesting, to the effect that the cancellation was a good job because last year corrupt police were robbing the riders as they headed for the airport and home. That little gem didn't get much of a mention previously?

NH said last week 20.2 mate

I can't find that, everybody is saying 22.2 in the wrap up from Qatar?

We're lucky enough to be witnessing the 2nd coming of God.

Spent most of last night watching MM vids & motogp classics from 2000 onwards, the last season with 2t's and 4t's on track together was interesting.

Oh, sorry, where was I?

Yes, you could be right. Some unbelievable riding. Moto 3 champ 2010, moto 2 2012, motogp 2013. If I remember from last night.

Yeah I went to Phillip Island for that seasons round. Was cool as shit to see the diff between them.

Yep. Breaking records no cunt will be able to do for some time I feel.

He looks that small in the vids of him racing as a nipper I'm sure that's a placenta on his head not an helmet.

Crutchlow top Ducati. Just thought I'd put that in for the haters

Aleix and the Ducati's were using the soft tyre to set a time... right? So their position is deceptive because they won't be using that for the race.

WTF is up with Bautista?

Redding beats Nicky handily.

Ben Spies sums it up at the end of this article on Soup, and remembering Spies thought he was tops after beating Mladin in USA http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2014/...rydernotes.htm

Sorry Ben, this is MotoGP not DMG Superbike racing. Liked this comment of his in the article "When Casey Stoner or Marc Marquez went past, I had no idea how they could do that stuff."

Lol, the boy certainly enjoys the ride, "fun" being the word here http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/202...r-marquez.html

In the earlier FP4 session Marquez had launched his rear wheel high into the air for a huge 'stoppie' after missing his braking point.

“I was going wide and then when I passed the bump I felt the rear wheel coming up and then I just continued it for fun,” he revealed. “The best line was already gone - I was out of the racing line, so I just tried to continue the rear wheelie!”
