MotoGP 2014

[FROSTY:Me]

What utterly stuns me is that when you look at it the difference between race winner and off the podium is a fraction of a second each lap.
Realisticly one muck up by pedrosa and he was back in second. if rossi backed off he was off the podium.
Thats pretty darn amazing stuff.
And thats moto gp--Moto 3 you don't dare blink for 40 minutes or you'll go from first to tenth place.

What the fuck? No laguna seca? What is this bullshit? Indy? Fucking indy?

Went to http://www.mazdaraceway.com/rolex-mo...sports-reunion on Saturday. First time and OK it wasn't a bike race, but it was like going to Meca. I realised clearly though, it is NOT a track for MotoGP.

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

He's defiant all right !

Yeah, the level is pretty even thanks to various rules. The nearest we've ever had to that sort of thing was the old 250 proddie wars where you'd see a bunch of 10 or so RGV's going at it like Moto3 does now.
Some of the most spectacular racing in that style always came at the annual Ramage memorial race at levels. Three rows on the grid,three races with one start from each row for everybody - and 5 laps each race if I remember right. Mad agressive entertainment...

Us mere mortals are on our arses every time this happens.
Seems normal for this freaky kid.

Thanks for posting that. I saw the first shot on twitter but not the others. So MM originates a new cornering style: arse down?

What the actual fuck?

His front wheel is tucked in.

Bullshit.

An interesting comparison of styles.

An interesting comparison of styles.

Always thought Micks style looked weird/awkward. But hey, it sure worked for him. Just shows that text book riding style, though great for most. Isn't the last word. Norick Abe was another one, looked just like Mick on the bike.

I guess the closer you are to the ground when you're leaning, the easier it is to push off it to get the bike back up!

Yeah Gaz, a bit of USA road trip. It was great to get LS, even tho it wasn't bikes. Great circuit to view, if ya like climbing hills.

Hope it goes to Johnny Rea. He did a damn good job when he got drafted in before and surely he's getting pissed off at how long Honda have been promising a replacement for the CBR. Next years open bike is looking to be better than what everyone expected for this year.

I reckon it is. Best GP I've ever been to. By miles!!!

Yes must be hard winning on a 2008 machine, shows the calibre of rider he is. He did very well when replacing Stoner, lets hope they get him in soon and develop the bike ASAP. As they say the Miller thing is just rumours, hopefully they can groom him and get him some tests though so that he has his mind on the task.
