MotoGP 2015

[jasonu]

. Pedrosa stuck with the 15 and made it work riding around it's obvious issues. ?

Almost all of Pedos results say he has NOT made the 2015 work.

[Mental Trousers]

The Moto2 boys showed how to make a pass stick at Aragon (or any track) - get up beside the guy you're passing and stay there so he can't turn down behind you.

What have you been smoking? The guy has been injured, missed many rounds, came back (Still injured) and stuck the fucking thing on the podium while his team mate chucked it down the track. IS YOU HIGH???

Do you think HJC will be happy that there is a bike missing from the podium 5 rounds this year? They pay their riders to be in front of the camera not in the sand trap.

The irony is that next year MM may be riding something that DP did most of the development on.
And what will DP be riding?

DP from memory had a massive pay cut in his latest contract something like millions of dollars but it has huge incentive bonus based on results.

[pritch]

That and changing back to the 2014 frame really isn't going to help him next year I think.

Lotsa new things next year.

At this weeks Michelin tyre test in Aragon front end crashes were again a feature apparently. Rossi was rather beaten up but didn't break anything.

If the teams haven't already received their new electronics they're about to get them.

Overnight our time on Twitter JL had what some might construe as a dig at Rossi. From memory, "Life is like a shark, if you stop moving you die."

They will be able to fit a not so vicious motor to the chassis also.

He should remember the old saying: "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip .."

[Erelyes]

Someone, it might have been Crutchlow, commented after seeing Rossi at work up close for the first time said, "He just charges at them".

At the end of the day, if you're ahead of them and inside of them before the apex, you have passed them. There's nothing illegal about a 'block pass'.

It won't always work and there are riders that are better at cutting back inside on the corner exit, etc, than others. Rossi is one of those ones who's good at coming back at people. Perhaps Cal isn't (which is why he's not Alien material).

To be fair: Rossi has never won at Aragon. He hasn't even come second there before. JL has won twice and DP has won once. So of course they had an advantage there.

As for MM, his dominance last year was utterly spectacular, and he show-boated to boot ('swimming across the line', running down pit lane after his bike broke, etc). I think he's still in HRC's good books... provided he can find form again. Besides, his 'win it or bin it' approach, doesn't necessarily mean bad bike sales. Sure he's not winning, but it's not cos the bike is slow - it's cos he's throwing it into the litter.

Yeah, well, let's see what Lorenzo is doing in 8 year's time.

Like what Jacko did at Silverstone?

Aragon is a fairly new venue, ( Spain has how many Moto GP races now, 3, or 4..) & V.R. hadn't won much - anywhere - in that period..

As for MM...

Is M-M throwing the Honda away, or is it the other way 'round.. that's why Dani-boi deserves full credit for dealing to V.R., esp' after seeing M-M's front end fold up again..

Great point.


Problem is, I'm picking most of us will still be right here, bitching and moaning in the ElectroMotoGP 2022 thread...

Yup, very true. From what is coming out the Michelin has massive rear grip but the front is lacking. MM, as he continues to show, seems to rely on the front end a lot (as do a lot of GP riders) to get round a corner. DP seems to be more focused on standing the bike up and grunting out of the corner using the rear grip (perhaps due to his lower weight and stumpy legs he is less able to get his weight forward over the front in corners?). I think we will see some drastic changes in riding style next year to cope with the new tyres and electrics.

I would not be at all surprised to see a Ducati win it next year, based on riding style Dovi might be the man for it as he seems to use the rear grip available really well. How cool would that be?

At the end of the day though, who really knows? All I know is that this season is gunna be an epic show down. GO ROSSI!

Well said and good observation. I have not read any one else on any forums I troll on, recognizing what the Old Goat just went and did. And did it in awsome style.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I didn't see Rossi in danger of taking Pedrosa out in any of those overtakes. They were lined up for a good distance, he just couldn't get turned in early enough for them to stick. I imagine Rossi was hoping Danni would be up beside him still and not turn in either, but it all looked clean from my couch.

I've never said I thought Marquez was gonna take folk out though, so I might be missing something.

Prob only because Pedro knew it was coming and was smart enough to sit back and let him do it time and time again. As I said...looked like the Rossi of 07. Never said it was clean though...I'm all for it! As far as MM goes...I didn't say you had said that. Plenty of diddle fiddlers here that have though.

[Shaun Harris]

MM Breaks his hand. Well prob a little bone in it or something

http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/0...raining/185984

To me, this means Japan is all about 2 riders only. JL and VR, Bring it on


Haha Broken hand, They meant to say, he broke his little pinky on his left hand, wippy doo doo
