Beat me to it.

Some years ago* I knew a guy who claimed he can stop traveling from 50kph to a stand still in 2 meters

I can do that, but only when confronted with a wasp in my helmet.

I'd second that.

Fair few probably reckon they could, tbh in an alternate universe were I ever given the chance to ride a motogp bike I'd be happy to just keep it on two wheels and not shit myself when I twisted the go grip.

Having raced an RS250 GP bike a few times, I can only imagine what the big boys version is like. Can't wipe the smile off Bruce's face when you talk to him about it.

Yeah. Gotta hand it to the Old Boy. Still fucking got it. If only MM hadn't purposely helped JL win the title in 2015 eh!!!

Wonder if Lorenzo will be pegged down by this experience and get snatched up by Suzuki. I'd rather they took on Folger and Zarco of course, but I doubt Yamaha will let those two slip away. Someone has to fIll Rossi's seat if the old boy ever gives up.

I always thought the Dooocati would fuck him up. Pretty obvious the Yamaha is by far and away the best ride out there eh. And will Rossi ever retire? Looks like he simply loves it too much and would miss it terribly. It's def in his blood!

I can't see Lorenzo being in the doldrums for many more races. Too much talent and ambition for that. However - just for a minute - consider him on a KTM.

I have a vague idea...

I also had dinner with a friend in the states last year and in his lounge amongst other bikes was a new H2R, old H2R, a KR750, H1R, HIRW, TZ500J, RGB 500, KR500 (yes, sq 4...!) , TZ750 (with 2 more in the garage) and an ex Team Millar YZR500. Bastard! mention in Jan that he rebuilding a C589 Cagiva he has bought bones of.

same, the required style for a Duc is so far removed from Lorenzo's way of riding (as fast as he is) that I always thought there was going to be issues....

With the evolution of the Duc I was hoping the '17' was going to be closer (and it is I suppose with results coming also from the 15 and 16. ) Dovi is doing better !
Maybe Horhay will cut loose at COTA ?? But not too much,cos obviously I'm with 46

That and he's never really showed any indication of adapting his riding style over the years to ride around problems
