It happened to Bradl, it's happened to Scott Redding, it's happening to Miller and it's going to happen to Tito Rabat and probably Alex Marquez too. Quartararo made a damn good move jumping ship to Leopard KTM in Moto3 2016, in my opinion.

Tech 3 had huge patience with Smith, and look how far he's come. Ducati/Pramac had huge patience with Iannone and look how far he's come. Just because MM came out the box to win a rookie world championship, you gotta remember that some of the best riders, namely Rossi, Pedrosa, to an extent Dovisioso and if you want to include him in the camp, Marco Simoncelli, needed time to grow up and grow into MotoGP.

Miller crashes lots, of course he does, he wasn't exactly a Danny Kent type temperament in Moto3 and you put him straight on a bike that's been universally shown to be a piece of crap. And now you're giving him the hurry up? Pull your head out HRC.

I think you an others are are surmising to much buddy, There is no proof re pressure to Miller. HRC signed him for 3 years knowing and happily giving him shit loads of time to grow, they know what they are doing. The only reason he was so fast in FP1 today was the conditions, if HRC had put him under pressure, he would have been taking it more easy than that in those conditions I think. What he is not taking seriously enough, is presentation of himself etc, he is destined to be a marketing tool for HRC, so needs a bit of grooming to act more in Media professional etc, ala Puig

:-) Maybe not... but Rossi's got an ego the size of a fairly major planet and doesn't like being dissed. Remember the stunned surprise when Stoner told him his ambition exceeded his talent?

He didn't understand Stoner. I watched that shit live, there was no comprehension, and no 'stunned surprise'.

Yup this. Rossi may have the ego (although he hides it well) but from all appearances he hardly lets any rider get to him.

Danny Kent using his brains and not bothering to be out there ( I am surmising from crash.net times ) to go fast in crap conditions, he has 3 rounds to claim his title as yet

Hahaha Re the above post and VR and his ego

'Hahaha' how? He doesn't come across like an egotistical arsehole like some riders do.

So his English failed him? It's not that complicated. Ambition exceeds talent.

It's on the end of this clip. Didn't even have the courtesy to take his helmet off.

That clip doesn't work, but I don't need it.

Courtesy ya say. Like running down there to say sorry was discourteous?

Sorry must work for me because I've got a subscription.

Apologising for the cock up was an absolute minmum I'd have thought. Not hiding inside your helmet would've been better.

All you can see is the back of his helmet and his hands waving around aimlessly when Stoner reams him.
