MotoGP 2016

[EJK]

A quick and dirty calculation of Rossis fastest six laps from the first part of the race compared to the second shows that he was slower on his second bike by a massive one tenth of a second over the six laps. It just must have seemed like he was going slower because Marquez got so small and in the distance so fast.

On the other hand it amazes me how MM was running 1'41s on the first half but once he jumped onto 2nd bike he ran constant low/mid 1'40 till finish.

MM was clearly faster than Rossi by huge margin. Well deserved win I say.

Marquez .

Did incredibly well not to go down in T1 1st lap when Crazy Joe smashed him.

Rossi lost 1.5 secs on pit lap, then he was a second slower than Marquez for a heap of laps allowing Marq to eek out the advantage.
He did piece a few fast 1:40's together, but obviously he wasn't happy with the setup or tyres, as he was matching Marq's pace in the first half of the race lap for lap!
Marq took the risks and made them stick.....unlike Iannone

Marquez was faster on the second bike. Rossi was much the same... apart from the strange whining noise on the second one which continued even after switching the bike off.

maybe that was Dovi's asthma playing up after pushing his bike over the line!

He looked fairly shagged... and somewhat annoyed.

Miracle either of them stayed upright. Would have been quite a pile up if they hadn't.

The replay on that was nuts...CJs front end was bouncing like it was riding over a set of judder bars when he was trying to haul up.

LOl. Yep. Pretty wild shit for sure!

There is no question that MM deserved that win.

Rossi is still showing some danger...he is not at all out of this season yet, only a fool will write him off.

As for Michelin...what a fuck up. If they cannot manufacture reasonable tyres then they need to be told to piss off until they can figure it out. That bike change ruined the flow of the race IMO. As for Ianone...what a moron...Dovi really didn't deserve that end to his race...he was riding like a champ. That overtake on Ianone and Rossi was inspired!

That's Harris's fav line "dont rule out _____"

I agree only a fool would rule ANY rider out at this stage. Any of the top 6 factory bikes could take a giant leap forward in set up as none of them is running at 100% yet. Heres hoping its my main man. Gut tells me it will be between Rossi MM and George though .

Because the Bridgestones were perfect

wasint it just i thought just locking the rear brake

Apparently it's a brilliant track that sorts the men from the boys much as Phillip Island does. Problem is that it's miles from anywhere. To paraphrase the movie "Field Of Dreams", it was built but they didn't come. They could sweep it, and that might help, but the track would still be green.

The compulsory pit stop is a fuck up. It ruined Rossi's race and it's dangerous, one pit crew member was hit by a bike. If the tyre manufacturer can't guarantee the tyres will last the race distance though they have to do something.

I have to agree seems daft i thought it be okay with michelin makes you wonder doesint it .

Who else thinks ducati have to sign someone else next year .get cassey back out there .i just cant see winning the title other wise.

[actungbaby]

Not impressed with Rossi loosing it and picking a scrap with anyone and everyone he thinks he can get into the head of.
MM certainly proved hes not buying it in fact the opposite last year and Lozenge is on a mission for another tittle.
For me (and poss the other riders) its becoming a sign of weakness for Rossi not strength TBH.



He aint got the balls to go But if he did who gets his seat? Wont happen, but Imagine him and MM in the same team LMAO.

I have to agree Cassey did say few years back that getting on alot better with rossi not in the picture as much . when he switched

I mean he should just get on with his racing he class act as a rider but showing very poorly in his personaitly of the bike at times.
