MOTOGP 2015

Now when are they going to introduce closed cockpits for the MotoGP bikes ?

About right.

Wow, stunning race. Unlucky for Danny Kent in Moto3. I won't spoil it, but do watch it.

Danny Kent is feeling the pressure if you ask me, last 3 or 4 races he has made mistakes, it seems as if he has suddenly realised he could become world champion and can't handle the pressure that comes with that.

Also, you could say he was unlucky but really, the 2nd incident was completely his own fault, he cut right across the other guy and left him with nowhere to go. Did n't even need to push that hard, championship was in the bag. He is also blaming everyone else apparently on twitter, he needs to realise that he has made numerous mistakes lately and not look at others for his failings of late.

 

[bloodiedathame]

Totally agree with you there. Still, his talent is very promising for the future. As he gets older he'll get wiser.

Watched a rerun of the GP race. I haven't watched a lot of the races this season due to timing but I heard this one was worth a watch and I wasn't disappointed! How many times did the top 4 spots change!?

 

[SoliD]

Fantastic race yesterday, Reckon if Jorge didn't get those seconds he could have finished even lower, number of position swaps between 3 different bikes was fantastic, hope Ducati can keep up the development and keep it up next year, and Marquez gets some front end back, battle for top 4/5 should be fantastic.

Didn't realise they were doing 3 races back to back! Roll on next Sunday! Hope Rossi seals it up next weekend and doesn't leave it until Valencia, not exactly known for his luck there.

 

[bloodiedathame]

I think Lorenzo will win the title. Rossi just doesn't seem to qualify well enough, and when Jorge hits the front he's so consistent.

 

[Shimmy]

Absolutely mega racing, the way it should be really.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

what a quali that was.
Rossi beat Lorenzo back to 4th and the really funny thing about it was Lorenzo didn't know and tried to go in to parc ferme thinking he was 3rd hahaha
he was not happy and you could see him swearing under his helmet, when he was turned away .

Caught quali this morning too. Nice by Rossi and hilarious with Jorge at the end. I think he might choke, Rossi is under his skin now. He doesn't handle pressure well (remember that terrible jump start last season?)

 

[deuse]

Totally missed it all time for catch up.

 

[SoliD]

Did not expect that after yesterdays practise! Going to be a good race tomorrow!

 

[unKle]

Listen to the crowd cheer..!

I was at Misano last month watching from turn 9 "Prato 2". At least 75% of the people were wearing yellow Rossi t-shirts and when Lorenzo crashed out..well Rossi may as well have won the race, they went bonkers.

 

[SoliD]

Cmon Vale!

 

[ShakenNstirred]

Its war lol

 

[Banny]

Who's watching this, Rossi vs Marquez it's personal

 

[VoG]

That was dirty!, if there isn't a complaint made that costs Rossi points i'll be amazed as there was just no need for that.

 

[Banny]

Oh look what happened just after I posted

 

[SoliD]

Is that the championship thrown away from rossi? Be a real shame if it is.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

dammmm, what was rossi thinking

 

[VoG]

dammmm, what was rossi thinking

I don't think has was tbh, the red mist had descended & he very deliberately rode Marquez off the track, now it's down to race direction but I can't see how they'll let that kinda behaviour stand.
