Sorry but this made me laugh, not about Marquez but personal history.
When i made a comeback back when the classic register started, before I'd even gridded up for my first race back, Ray Sherman took me aside and said "racing's no longer a contact sport" To which i replied "jeez Ray, you've taken all the fun out of it".....
The penalty of having a reputation.
Late 60's, early 70's Ruapuna club racing was like Brands was reputed to have been, intimidation, hard contact, give as good as you got, come in from a race with bits knocked off the fairing....But i never saw anyone go down from it as really, the bikes were pretty slow and there was plenty of runoff.
Geriatric hoon
Marquez is able to handle his bike better with the 2014 frame, but the abrupt power characteristics of the 2015 engine remain, so he still doesn't have the sweet handling bike he used to enjoy.
While he may not win the championship this year, he could have a big influence on who the eventual winner is if he keeps finishing between the Yamaha riders.

Made me laugh how cold MM and VR were towards each other in parc ferme - last year they were all matey and handshakes. Under pressure eh?
KB Chief Cat Herder
The 2015 Honda isn't as forgiving of little mistakes, which is what Marquez does all the time. Essentially he crashes the bike and then rescues the crash. It's what Casey Stoner used to do all the time. It's why he's so fast as he pushes just a tiny bit past the limits all the time, saves it and carries on while everyone else is trying to get as close as possible to the limits without going over. Obviously they're not getting to get that little bit extra that Marquez does.
Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

I am therefore I do
I reckon MM will DNF this weekend.....he'll be feeling a bit cockier.
Geriatric hoon
In the four stroke era Honda have nine wins at the Sachsenring to Yamaha's three so he may have reason to feel a bit cockier.

I like the way you think puddy,coz he'll be taking a Yamaha with him no doubt.
Sachenringcycle being the pissant type of go-cart track that it is will be a good indicater of the Hondas front end.
Dannyboy likes the place so maybe he can help steal a few points off of Yamaha.

You may be right but I hope not.
I was listening to a podcast discussing how unfortunate it was that the unguided missile Miller took out Barbera. WTF? In 250s Barbera was taking out all and sundry, the commentators then were even joking about how nobody passes Barbera around the outside. Eventually the podcast guys remembered the history. Karma.

Nah that's just MM.
Remember race before that he said 'I'm either gonna be at the front, or bin it' or words to such effect. He binned it.
This time he went just as nuts but didn't bin it. You could say he got lucky, but that he gets to push his luck a lot further than the others.

Suzuki for the pole and win this weekend. Finally a track where power is of not much help.

I'll just be happy if MM doesn't knock VR off and screw his season LMAO
PS Be nice for Suzuki to get a good result tho
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Id back ya on the pole, but will not stake a claim on the winner. To much shit going on with VR, MM,Jl, I can actually see a crash involving RIDERS coming very soon with the way MM is riding again just like in the Moto2 class
Enjoys doing what he does
It is a real concern the way MM is starting to ride like he did in Moto2.
The 'let the brakes off block pass' attempt could have ended VR's season, but I'm guessing VR was expecting it and already had his motocross strategy worked out for when it happened.
The win it or bin it approach is all well and good even applaudable until it effects others. Another move like that might have the seasoned MotoGP guys taking him aside for a chat.
