What no MotoGP thread for "The Americas"???????

[Dare2Fail]

Someone give Parish a slap and teach him which rider is Pol and which is Aleix.

Rossi wasn't impressed.

And rightly so. That should be penalty points without any question.

Neither Jules or Keith noticed it was Jorge I don't think,

how the Christ did he save that!?!!

anti-gravity boots

We all forget how good the super-slo-mo is.
Watching the back wheel trying to go in one direction whilst the front is trying to go (dragging?) the bike the other way.

Phenomenal stuff.

[anonymous-user]

This commentary team is garbage. Zero chemistry to the point I have a feeling Jules hates Heiwitt, who talks utter tripe and misses so much of the action, he cant even get the rider who is about to cross the line right.

Such a shame they killed off the Eurosport partnership.

[Lincsblokey]

Unbelievable.



Rear spinning on the kerb, front in the air, cranked owa. Special.

[Dare2Fail]

The truly unbelievable one was saving the low side. That bike had already crashed but Marquez was too stubborn to accept it.

[Andy XRV]

The man has amazing skills but I do agree with Parish. At some stage his riding style will bite him.

[Dare2Fail]

The strange thing with Marquez is that his style has bitten him a few times, but it doesn't seem to slow him down. See Mugello last year, or an even better example is when he totally mullered himself at the end of 2011 in Moto2 and couldn't see straight for the best part of 6 months.

I generally tend to ignore anything that comes from that mans mouth.

Qatar 2013 He said MM would be lucky to finish top 4 and he would crash his brains out.

Yeah, that happened.

Like every rider, he will have one big one (Rossi didn't break a bone until a few years back) but MM now has a years experience and that will only help him.

He is a truly talented rider I don't disagree with any of what you've said. I just hope that he doesn't end up watching the championship instead of riding in it.

One of the commentators (Julian?) just makes me think of this guy every time he speaks. I'm also glad that the cameras and on-screen info are good, because the commentary is hopeless!

Many years ago I tried to explain to a friend that the most exciting thing I found when watching bike racing was the way the rider would balance their bike on the limit of the grip.

And then this... Us mere mortals... What an absolutely stunning photo. Printed and posted on little Little Ex's bedroom wall.

As you say, unbelievable.

Then he gets off the bike, limping slightly as his leg is still recovering, and gives a charming and humerous interview.

And he's only just 21.

Be interesting to see what Bradl can do if he keeps it upright.

I never really understood what it meant to be a fanboi, however I just could watch him win and trounce everyone, every race. He is epic!

My view at the track. Turn 19.

Top 10 MotoGP warmup



Looking all a lot closer, and Redding scalped Esparago A.

[Dare2Fail]

Good chance of rain for both Moto2 and MotoGP according to the weather forecast (and Midway's picture!).
