MOTOGP 2015

Expected race tbh. Knew MM was going to walk away, though I don't think he showed the kind of domination most were expecting. I wonder just how close things could have been if the M1's didn't have front tyre issues. Rossi had good race pace initially, but seemed to struggle with the hard front, whilst Lorenzo didn't really make the medium work at all. A good podium for Vale considering his lack of front grip.

The Duc's are going to just get better and better, but the COTA is a track that seemed to suit them as well as the Honda. Did they have fuel issues at the end? It certainly seemed that way.

yeah they both ran out after the flag
which is a concern as they can run 22lts
if they had to run 20 like the rest, they wouldn't be as fast.
lucky for them they don't have make the bike run on 20lts this year and next year there all on 22lts

Unless you knew how much they had in to begin with ???

its ridiculous how close it all is now. well apart from the alien MM. suzuki 10km slower than the rest but still on the front row !


anyone into motorsport NEEDS to be watching motogp this season. seriously missing out
 
Anyone know what the deal is with Alex Marquez ? He's really struggling this yr.. Everything handed to him on a silver platter in way of bike.. But only one point this season thus far ?

I think the sheer aggression of GP2 has taken him by surprise, GP3 is all about the conservation of energy, being smooth etc, GP2 is like a bar room brawl by comparison and that's wrong footed him, he needs to have a good chat with his brother, who's never been afraid to barge any one off the track in his single minded pursuit of the top step of the podium.
