    The last one wasn't easy going by the results of our picks?

    If Mugello is more flowing than Le Mans the Honda may go better. Then again?

    I had a look at CCs website but it's stuck back in 2015. Guess I'll find out what happened if he mentions it on Twitter.

    .
    Mugello could be a prob for the Hondas again. Chasing the front on those downhill corners!

    The Jack Miller fans are a bit quiet.

    Well another GP over and it was synchronized falling at one stage LOL
    Was wondering if Michelin was going to take a pasting over the next few days but that hasnt really happened.
    Got the first two correct in my prediction and everyone else fell off LOL
    The ones that stayed on are the riders least likely to try and turn it on its front wheel under brakes.

    JL was great, Rossi quite lucky, best ride of the meeting was that last lap from Binder bloody hell well done!

    LOL the only one who's never quite is Miller but agreed, been saying for a little while it was a failed experiment.
    Wonder if it will put the brakes on them taking anyone else straight from Moto 3??

    Yeah, I'll second that. He is injured, but he really does need to start to show why he was given that ride. Shame about the bike though.

    One of the arguments given against Vinales getting the Yamaha ride was that he has never been on the podium in MotoGP. Well he's fixed that, they'll have to dream up another reason now.

    Doesn't him getting a podium mean Suzuki get to keep him??
    Suzuki have been saying they wont enforce it up till now but that may change now he actually has a podium and the balls in their court?? The press pressured him quite a bit about it at post race conference but he said he wants to get home and have time to make his decision so obviously he doesn't think this podium makes his decision any different.
    We shall see what suzuki might do if he chooses Yamaha or if they say he must publicly choose them or they will enforce the clause. We will never know that but personally Id like to see him stay and Danni on the Yammy although Danni on the suzuki might be a good option? Danni on anything is better than him on that bloody Honda. He just cant handle the beast like MM can, Honda have made it to opposite to his style.

    Biggest wanker to have entered Moto GP since Anthony Gobert. Notice a pattern?

    Gobert was recognised as one of the greatest riding talents ever seen at the time. Such a fucken shame he is such a bloody moron.

    Before anyone blames drugs, loads of people who aren't cunts take drugs.

    Anyhoo, Doohan is a good cunt...Mibbee he's not really Australian.

    Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

    One problem is they put him and Rabat on the most difficult bike in the paddock to ride. They don't have any background in what a good bike at that level is and they're on the nastiest one. At least Redding got off it and found something he can ride.

    Marquez shouldn't be used to compare new riders to MotoGP as he's just a freak.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    That's a fair summation. I've seen Rabat's difficulties being put down to his reputation as a slow learner. Hard to say if he's really a slow learner but nobody works harder than Rabat, it may take him a while but if it is at all possible he'll get there. Miller is working a lot harder since HRC organised a boot up the arse for him but it can't be an easy ride. Even Pedrosa who has more experience than anyone on a Honda can't really get the bike to work, and Marquez is currently a shadow of his former self.

    On a positive note there is Eugene Laverty's performance on an aging Ducati. His team is really short of cash and consequently had personnel problems, but he is ahead of both Ducati factory riders in the championship. Laverty should definitely send Iannone a thank you card.

    To be fair though Marquez jumped on the Honda straight into a factory seat when the bike was at its best and the Yamaha not quite as good. If he had jumped on a sat or open class bike would he have set the world on fire? Who knows.

    All we know is that this year and last both the factory riders are struggling, which doesn't bode well for the customer bikes who wont be getting the attention required to perform.
    Its easy to sit here and laugh at how Miller and Crutchlow are spending more time sliding down the road than on it. But do any of us know how hard it is to ride?
    Imagine being asked to ride a bike at the limit for 40mins when you don't have a good feeling from the bike? As a racer you want to catch and pass they guy in front. As a racer your sponsors want you to pass that guy. As a Motogp racer you know you are better than anyone else in the world given the chance to prove it. So you push, your adrenaline tells you things are in control, but they are not, next thing you are on your arse.

    shame, but well said .....

    Carl did well last year and I had high hopes for him in 2016. He is a name to look out for ... sad though he is struggling this year ..... like many others.
