    Fuck Michelin

    Aliens 1, Michelin 3. Pleased for Marquez and Honda, but what a shit way to end the Championship.

    Maybe Bridgestone could make the fronts and Michelin the rears???

    I noticed that MM was getting lean angles out to 60deg again. They weren't getting anywhere near that in the early part of the season. In fact I don't think we've even seen that graphic in a while?
    For the lean angles to be coming back would indicate that the teams are starting to get their heads around the new tyres. Next year will really tell because they will have good base setups for each track.

    (Disclaimer : Michelins are still shit)

    Good point, JL and MM were regularly 60+ degrees on Bridgestones. Rossi was pushing, as he had to finish at least ahead of Marquez, and maybe JL was affected by his crash in FP3. But what happened to Dani???

    Piss off Knobjob. The change to Michelin has made this season better than many.

    MM. 5 titles in 7 years. Barring injury or burnout...Rossi's 9 will get blown away.

    Marquez is exceptional. But where's the fun watching riders crash instead of racing? Or maybe you enjoy that?

    How old are you? It's called racing fuck knuckle. As long as people have been racing motorcycles, they've been crashing the cunting things. How many races has MM lost due to crashing this season?

    It's called pushing the envelope. Pressure does funny things to people, as does a rush of blood to the head. MM has curbed the flow to the brain...the others have felt the pressure.

    The change to Michelin has been fantastic. Each and every week, there's been the option of two or three diff tyre choices...some which work for some better than others. It's added another dimension to the races compared to the Bridgestone days, where every rider had the same tyre option fitted.

    So very sorry if I find that interesting and an improvement to the spectacle.

    Meantime...go wank yourself with a cheese grater.

    Have to agree with crasher here.

    Michelin have done a great job to get the tyres working for the riders, and also offer different options. With the electronic changes as well it must have been a nightmare for crews to set up the first few rounds.

    I do appreciate that michelin appear to be more transparent with the tyres performance. Riders seem to be able to make comments good and bad
    without being fined. Unlike Bridgestone where you were never allowed to blame the tyres...

    Yeah...I mean...we've had what...eight different winners this season already? And Michelin should get fucked?? What a retarded fucking view. I take my hat of to Michelin. How many years out of Moto GP? And their last season hardly went well for them. So to come back into it, and break some very old lap records? Quite fucking amazing really.

    But fuck all that. How good is MM seriously??? I saw slow mos this morning during warm up...and he was on the front tyre for over 100m at times heading into the corners.

    It's bad enough his boyfriend has one, but I cringed when I saw one of the other mechanics flaunting one as well.

    I so can't understand that shit. Fuck me...I love my GF to death, sleep with her every night (lucky girl), but I'm not going to tattoo her cell phone number onto my body. What the fuck is wrong with those cunts? Imagine what Rossi saves on toilet paper every year!!!
