MotoGP 2015

I think he's gone...

...so Gentlemen, whaddya reckon - how is the rest of the season gonna pan out?

JL has to make up 12 points, how hard will that be with MM still going great guns and maybe even Dani getting in the way?
Next stop is Vale's home track.

All riders will fall off every round bar Dani Pedrosa and he will win in great glory...

But seriously. I foresee a mixture of results in the top 4 and the two bikes that will matter the most in this championship will be the Honda's I think. If Lorenzo wins a round with Marquez and Dani between himself and Rossi, that is it level again. I think that likely to happen at some stage with the Honda's dividing up the Yams with either of Rossi or Lozenger off the podium. Throw in Dani and Marc winning a few here and there and it will be a strange fight for sure.

At current form though you would have to pick Lorenzo, just we know that Rossi should never be counted out. He has the balls to admit when he thinks Lorenzo is faster than him, which has been a lot recently. By admitting it we know he will work his arse off to bridge the areas where Lozenger has it over him.

I remember when I first started watching the Motogp a few years back it was when he and Rossi were both at Yamaha, I used to get grumpy with how Rossi was after a race on the rostrum when he would lose out to Jorge. Now I've got a few more years under my belt I understood that it was Rossi's drive to win and beat his team mate that fueled those antics on the rostrum and that was his way of debriefing his crew fresh off the bike. He seems more relaxed these days but I do believe that drive is still there.

"He has the balls to admit when he thinks Lorenzo is faster than him, which has been a lot recently"

I seriously believe this is a part of his new head games? He has recovered and all respect to him, but mind games go a long way at the drop of the flag

[FROSTY:Me]

Hey guys the more often I look at the JM CC crash the more I see 2 riders that seemed to slow in a dramatic manner in front of a chasing group.
The comment that JM was going "way too fast" Im just not convinced.
it looked to me that if that was in fact the case then he would have been hauling away from the following two riders and he wasn't

I'm sincerely hoping that VR's prediction of a last race decider comes true and I can't see the rest of the season becoming a procession. Sentimentally I would love to see him get his 10th title.

Yup especially when you are talking Jorge "mindfart" Lorenzo

I agree with you, he failed to account for the riders in front and was pushing hard, apparently according to the data was no faster than the lap before. Shit happens, that is racing, that is what happens when you are a young rookie on a shit bike determined to get a good result.

He will learn from this just as all rookies get a lesson and move on and become a better rider because of it. Marc Marquez will soon recognise his superior talent, retire early and hand him the keys to the RCV so that he doesn't get a schooling by the next Aussie legend .

Really looking forward to those two butting heads, I think Marc will want to get revenge on Miller for picking on his baby brother last year. Will be great to watch.

Yeah, took the liberty of correcting some of your blather there Auty ol' bean..

Imagine what would've happened if it was F1.. ( & Maldonado!) l.o.l... or NASCAR.. L.O.L... even in V8 Stupidcars,

George would've been punted.. literally, but as Championship leader, not pinged.. naturally.. since that aint in the scheme of things..

[Crasherfromwayback]

maybe,could be Herve just knows that he cant afford a known Alien and anyone else is a gamble

Or maybe he's under pressure to have a Pom on board?

[J.A.W.]

For sure - he's under $ pressure to have a Pom on board.

Fixed that too..

So true.. since a Pommy mob have a big financial interest in Dorna,
& look what's happened to WSBK, since Caramello got his grubby mitts on it..

[Autech]

Well when the 8 Factory bikes are ridden by Italians and Spaniards... 8... Yup...
Guess it comes down to the early riding, if you google any of the top Spanish and Eytiys they all started racing around 4 years old. Insanity. We have that with motocross but not for road racing which is a bit shit.

So multi million euro investments are made on the basis of getting a countryman on a works bike?

[J.A.W.]

They make these gay farty noises now, I do my best turning down Moto 3 and pretending they are very slow 125's.

Yeah H, they are unpleasantly flatulent..

I was at P.Is. & saw Simmo do the quickest ever 250 GP lap there in 2008.. ( impressive, yeah - visibly so..)

& those awfully shrill/shrieking lard-arse Honda 600/4 Moto 2s - still haven't beaten his time.. to date..

Fair & correct comment there F, at last someone ( else) - has a proper bloody look at the whole done-deal..

Yes sometimes look at all the Spanish riders that benefited from being Spanish when that was where the sponsorship money was.

Time to wake up & get with C21 fella!

Look what Lewis Hamilton has done..

Even Kanye West is puttin' ( & nevermind bloody Putin!) his hand up to be a future Prez o' da fee world..

[puddytat]

Rossi if its wet.

I should've put the money on him.....
