MOTOGP 2015

Amazing race, I cant deny MM talent but i love it when he loses he just doesn't click with me atm for some reason.

Can you imagine the outcry if that was Formula crap, seriously F1 needs putting to bed its hey day is over. All it is now is media keeping afloat a semi dead whale.
 
That did turn out to be an exciting weekend. Rossi delivered on the day, MM became too hot headed even though he has talent. He would have been much better taking second place and getting some points. He must have known Rossi would create a gap before the finish.

Then we have Hernandez's bike burst into flames on track, pretty scary stuff.

Cal's finish though :D

Although the incident which happened in Moto3 is just something else entirely. Romano Fenati and Niklas Ajo having issues on track before the race even begins
 
Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out for MM due to his operation.
I agree with what Rossi said, he does seem to be an all or nothing guy. I respect that, he has the young ambition, but he needs to mature a bit when the competition gets close.
 
this weekend is rossi's chance to make another record
200 GP podiums

125cc Aprilia: 15 podiums

Gonna be hard to not be on the podium given his recent performance... If he wins this weekend, then we know he's the real deal for 2015 !!!!
 
Lorenzo has sighed for Yamaha for 2016
so only a 1 year deal, hmmm that's a strange one.
was that his doing or there's.
Honda said today definitely no Stoner this year, hopefully that will shut the Moaner fans up, as im sick of hearing stoner would do this, stoner would do that.

The Lorenzo thing is a little strange to me, would bet it was a Yamaha idea, maybe under-performing? or problems with Rossi again?

either I can see him on a Honda or retiring after this contract...
 
the talk on BT sport while quali was on is that hayden is about finished, one of his machanics told them when they have to change one of the handlebar grips as its worn-out after a race, but the other is like new.
he cant use the damaged wrist anywhere near like he should be.
he just will not admit it to himself more than anything never mind anyone else.
its time to go nicky
 
Surely if they really knew that they wouldn't have signed him again for this year? Or was it a two year deal signed last year?

Lorenzo, perhaps he's expecting Pedrosa not to be re-signed so is angling for a ride on the Honda? He's been on a Yamaha for years, not surprised he fancies a change.
 
Well that was a surprise, Jorge clearly wanted it far more than MM, now if he can just maintain that hunger for the rest of the season, it should make for quite an interesting year.
 
Great to see Danny Kent doing well, not a mention on the mainstream media outlets which is disappointing. First Brit with three consecutive first places since Sheene!

Nice to see Jorge back in form too.

Rumours of Stoner coming back next year... I for one would like this very much.

Danny Kent is something and not a word anywhere about him... shame really, but it's the British way....

Mixed feelings about the Stoner situation, be good to see him back, but can't help but think that he's just a spoilt brat who through his toys about when he "retired" and now regrets it.... A LOT ;):p

Jorge, I never liked him and probably never will, tries to hard to be a Spanish Rossi....

I can't way to see Danny, Cal and Bradley going at head to head in Motogp.
Danny Kent is something special, just hope it continues.
