MotoGP 2014

Be interesting to hear what issues MM93 was having. Bad setup? Bad tyres?
Rossi said he was sliding around a lot, but wether that was from him having an issue or just pushing hard to try and stay on the pace, I don't know.

Loved seeing mad joe make MM work for the pass

[ellipsis]

I did, it was only a matter of time till Pedrosa got his shit together. I would say that even if Marquez's set up was 100%, he would have had the 3 old hats ready to put him over their knee and spank him. You could tell by the grins in the press conference they were in it together.

Not taking anything away from Marquez of course, fantastic rider with all the luck in the world. BRING ON SILVERSTONE!

...I thought he would get the hurry up at some point soon...but getting close to a couple of secs behind 3rd place...he looked like he did not have the answer at any point of the race...

Yup, Mad Joe suits the Ducati to the ground IMO, lets hope he has got what it takes on the factory bike to get the Ducati to the podium week in week out!

Anyone else see Rossi taunt Marquez as he went past him?

I would say Marquez was under a hell of a lot of pressure, he looked a lot like the Marquez of last year running deep on the brakes etc. His set up was good enough to get him on to pole but it never looked like he had the pace at any stage of the race. Regardless, I have found this season to be one of the most enjoying to watch. As a Dani Pedrosa fan from way back it hasn't been easy watching him get beaten week in week out, but the way Marquez has done it has been splendid to watch.

Think you'll find he's pretty much on factory equipment now.

Think you'll find he's pretty much on ill handling and hard to ride factory equipment now. Next year might be a different story but I won't hold my breath

Is he a New Zealander? Just wondered with the way he spelt breaks.

Now is it me, or are these super slow motion replays getting a bit old? The first few times they are pretty bloody impressive, but after that they can be a bit if a yawn, and worse when there is something decent happening in the race like in the Moto 3 earlier. Cut to two bikes going around a corner in slow motion, cut back to see everything has changed at the front. It is as if they have this technology and so have to use it as least half a dozen times per race. Once or perhaps twice it is worth it, the rest is a bit arse.

I really like watching the frames and forks and swingarms working. Also elbow on ground still impresses me.

Yeah bud, can't remember where I saw it ? But he said he's had factory for some time now.
(esspecially since CC left the ship I'm supposing ?)

Did you like 29 giving it back to 93 a few times there ? Mad joe of Moto2.

Yeah old I'll never give up CC eh? Showing his true colours.

And for sure. Was great to watch.

Was a good race in MotoGP but what about Moto3....top 16 all within 2 seconds

[Asher]

Anyone else see Rossi taunt Marquez as he went past him?

It's so quick I wasn't sure if he taunting him or taking off a tear off

It looked a bit like 'come on sonny lets catch up to these other 2 wankers'.

[puddytat]

Moto 3 was amazing I thought , was something like 17 in the leading group ......but poor ole 42, he wont do that again!!
As for the slowmo shit I reckon its mainly so you can see all the advertising on the bikes & I did notice pre race while they were checking out Abrahams in the pit that the coverage going on the screen behind him was delayed by a few seconds which leads me to believe that the cut aways that usually occur towards the end of races when its getting tight is so that Dorna have a "superior" product to offer their subscribers. I have noticed also in the repeats a day or so later on Sommet still have the cutaways in them at those points & haven't been edited to show the action, or they only have that footage available.

I reckon Marquez's set up wasn't quite right, he seemed pretty ragged chasing & over riding the bike at times. Farkin good race though.

Yeah that or: "Come on, I'm the boss, I run this shit, you want to be a legend you got to beat me first!".

Yeah Moto3 was something else, felt so sorry for Rins celebrating 1 lap early. Great to see the old hats who have been at it for such a long time getting a win in. Winning can't be easy when everyone else on the track is trying to do exactly the same thing!

Miller showed his maturity, I'm thinking he is defiantly one to watch for the future. Perhaps another Stoner in the making?

[pritch]

When I got up this morning first thought was to avoid KB and Twitter, or anywhere else that might have the result before I'd seen the race. Then I thought, "Nah doesn't matter these days, the result is always the same". Wrong again!

Like he did in the first ten races you mean?
