MotoGP 2015

[GD66]

Right now, with seats in the GP class like hen's teeth, you'd be mad not to take any deal you could get just to break into it and start getting friendly with the teams, even if the bike's a dog.

Well, unless the bike is an absolute and utter piggy. It certainly didn't help Bryan Staring waltzing round at the back three seconds off the pace, he is now riding for Pedercini in the world Superstock series.

Dunno, those guys are in a completely different league to me. What I would have done is of no consequence.

Yet you have an opinion on what morbidelli did

[FROSTY:Me]

I love how they were saying "well MM can't win the title now". Hey, it's highly unfucking likely. But it ain't over till the fat lady sings. Lorenzo could skittle Rossi yet and both break bones etc.

I cant work out in my head how they can come to that conclusion.
Seasons only halfway through and theres only 65 points
between VR and MM

Ha!! Cop out.
You know we will give you a hard time cos you want to say that you would have settled for 4th!
LOL

Ever seen me not keep pushing? Never taken anyone out though, or even come close. If I'm risking a crash, I'm on the wide line every time.

Name one poster in this fucken thread, with experience or talent to do so.

We're all commenting our perceptions, of what we are watching. Simply because not fucken one of us could pedal a bike fast enough to even qualify for the race.

Indeed,and gosh somtimes we can have different views of the same event.Does that make one view right and one view wrong.4 th is better than. 0 and maybe a complication of an existing situation,he took a risk and it didnt pay off.

Na, I was just real regular at chucking it away. No one else needed to be lying on they arse beside me.

With regard to McWild's comments about seats and the lack thereof, I think it was David Emmett wrote that with the teams having to adapt to new tyres and new electronics next year, staying with their existing riders eliminates one variable.

Speak for yourself, I'll have you know I was kind of a big deal when I did a wildcard in the '10 buckets season at Ruapuna.

I Do not think it will have a negative effect on Rossi though, as he has re taught himself to ride again, and will continue to re teach himself if he needs to change more, he is on a mission for sure this year, and you can see that in his actions and comments also

And for those with the time to read:

The pics we see of their motorhomes make it seem they certainly aren't roughing it.

I like on those forums (Motomatters etc) how people keep saying take away the electronics, change this, change that to "level" the playing field as if all of a sudden all the bike brands and types and their riders will be equally competitive and we'll have 'real' races on our hands. I'm clearly in the opinion camp that the cream rises to the top and I can't imagine anyone but the current top guys will still be leading the races.

When you know how well Marquez does on his dirt tracker taking it to US champions and similarly the stuff Rossi gets up to, who believes without the electronics all of a sudden someone like Laverty on the Aprilia will be up front dicing with Marquez, Rossi and Lorenzo or some such silly shit?

Also, I've said before they have short memories. Many races back in the 500cc days had races won by huge margins with many in the field being lapped - racing on average is much closer today than say 20 years ago.

That changes things completely! At last, someone I can ask how these guys get to 45° lean angles with the back wheel off the ground?

From what I've read it's the likes of Rossi and Stoner who have wanted to ditch the electronics because the electrickery allows less talented riders to compete.
While I can understand their point of view, the electronics should therefore be providing closer racing for us to watch.
