MotoGP 2018

You are absolutely right, Petrucci is not championship contender material and Dovi really needs the planets to align like MM and Lorenzo to have bad luck in order for him to win a championship. What Ducati need to do is get a true champion on their bike. They need to buy Rossi out of his Yamaha contract and get him on what is now the best bike in the field. What a dream team that would make! An Italian rider on an Italian bike winning his 10th championship putting that record well outside MM's reach!

MM is on track to win many many more championships,Rossi having 10 wont be an obstacle.Its harder for VR now than ever.You could argue that on any given day there will be 4 riders who have beaten him consistently(MM,JL,MV,AD) over the last couple of years. He is the one who needs the planets to align.Granted the Yamaha has not been an ally .It all makes it better viewing for us though.

You're just trying to wind me up aren't you

Perhaps in a parallel universe somewhere?

Goddamit, knew I should of taken my Captain Obvious t-shirt off lol Yeah, barring injury, MM going to obliterate Rossi's titles

[Dadpole]

I can see Marquez going on to obliterate everyone's title records. 5 premier titles in 6 years is a mind-boggling statistic. If he keeps going, I can imagine him having 15 titles then going to 4 wheels for a challenge...

It was only at the last moment... milliseconds before submit that I noticed it

"Wait. A. Fucking. Minute! It's a setup, abort, abort!"

Shit oh dear, that felt like a trip back in time. All we need now is a suggestion that Stoner is coming back. I think he has pulled the plug on riding though, he is quoted as saying it's too hard to stay in shape for just a few rides a year.

Now I know how Retalik felt knocking it on in the 80th minute

A MM + Stoner showdown! Alas, we will likely never see it.

If I had to pick 2 guys to have a beer with it wouldn't be Dovi and Petrux.

Try Miller and Crutchlow if you want shit to get real.

Chuck Iannone in there for some extra good times. I think Aleix Espagaro would be a goer on the piss too.

Fucking good wind up this.

Iannone if you don't mind risking getting locked up at the end of the night.

I don't know why but Aleix reminds me of a guy that gets rowdy pissed, has a sulk then gets huffy and leaves early.

If you have the off season access this is a Must watch.

Day 2 valencia full test video . Start yourself at 5 hours 5min.

Very very good commentary with Neil Spalding on the technology used in the GP paddock. Hondas new chassis layout etc

Hervé Poncharal had a good long chat also. About the 1:15 mark.

Can they run 3 championships in a year, then, so he can hurry up and bugger off? :P

Petition Dorna to allow a rider to do Moto 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously.

Rossi may have lost what it takes to win a championship. Even when he was in line for a race win he managed to tip it over. No reason for that, it was entirely the riders fault.

He used to be Jaws and now he's a halibut.

Mind if I just file that away in case I need it later?
