MOTOGP 2015

[thedoc46]

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

Yes he's doing great THIS YR.. But he is very bike particular, so may not hold much of a future. Bit like Alex Marquez, amazing in Moto3 but a wet firework in Moto2.

Danny Kent could only manage 22nd place in 2013 in Moto2.

Hopefully not the case and next yr they move him up to Moto2 again and he excels.

Looking forward to this weeks race. Hoping for a Rossi win and Cal to get second

In fairness to Danny Kent his teammate didn't do much better (Danny got 15 points to Louis Rossi's 4) and he was on Tech 3's own Mistral Chassis. They're the only team to make their own chassis and with only two riders using it development is expensive and a slow process.

Fair dinkums. I hope he does go on to excel in the upper classes and we get a 'proper' British champion. One that we've not seen since Barry Sheene in MotoGP.

[anything-but]

Will Kent do it from the back of the grid? Pass the new fingernails, i got none left!

 

[ShakenNstirred]

Dani crashed already, restarted but last

 

[VoG]

Cal oh dear...

 

[VoG]

C'mon Rossi mug him!.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

Miller gone now also

 

[VoG]

Lol at Marquez & Iannone, neither one will give an inch.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

great racing for 4th

 

[VoG]

Well done to Jorge, he earned that win & congrats to Rossi as well, used his brains & settled for second instead of shredding his tyres chasing down Jorge.

 

[englishpremier]

Rossi needs to improve his qualifying. He's giving away at least a second a race by qualifying so far down the grid.

So close to the podium for Kent but not worth the risk in the end.

 

[MissChief]

So close to the podium for Kent but not worth the risk in the end.

Considering the second and third placed riders in the championship both crashed out and he now has a more than one race lead in the championships, good job this weekend I'd say.

I missed why he was at the back of the grid? edit* read it was because of the rain and some accidents.

Wonder where that Suzuki would be if it had some more top speed
