Yes you are negative.
Let’s see what everyone says about Lorenzo this year shall we.
I don't think he'll do worse than last year , i'm interested in how miller and petrucii do will they take points away from the factory riders ?

The more the merrier. Who wants to return to the Doohan days?

If we get to the last race with 3 maybe 4 riders all with a chance of winning then for me we'll of had a good season , i don't care if it's rossi or marquez i just want a good fight all season.

You accuse me of being negative. Let’s see how many people have a positive thing to say about Lorenzo. If you read my posts you’ll see I’m fairly hopeful with Rossi amd want him to do well.

Heart vs head though.

With Lorenzo, I think we’ll see a different set of posts being made by others on here. Let’s see if you’re as quick to jump on those posters for their negativity, or opinions.

Poke the Rossi fans.

Argue and get your facts wrong.

Play the victim.


On a positive not, I am looking forward to the qualifying tomorrow.

Dude I have no beef with you. You do seem paranoid though? Might be worth having a chat to your doctor about it?

Give it a rest with the passive aggressive approach.

I've warmed to Lorenzo a fair bit last year. Mainly as he seems to have grown into this pantomime villain role. Yes he's a bit of a dick, but no more or less so than plenty of other top end racers over the years. Perhaps he's just been worse at hiding it.

I've got him in the work sweep stakes to win as well. Go Jorge!!

In all honesty I can see him being very quick this year if his head holds together. I think this season much like last year will be who can hold it together the best, not get hurt and take the 4th place rather than pushing too hard when they don't have the package underneath them. Looks like it could be interesting.

Rossi is ALWAYS good here, as is the Duke.

I don't have a particular favourite (not in this era anyway, they are all pussies compared to the 500 riders and early 990 era), but rather enjoyed last year on other forums that constantly slagged Dovi off for years, rather enjoyed cutting and pasting a few of those quotes back at the cretins who juts joined the club when f1 become the sterile tripe it is now and they started watching Gp and things like rallycross and amazed that there is racing and people pass each other.

I enjoy seeing guys turn their careers around like Petrucci, a journeyman in WSB a few years ago, or Rins pushing that Suzuki so hard, or Abraham shoving everyone's criticism, mine too down their throats with some great rides last year for a guy who everyone thought was solely a money man.

Its not right to compare Rossi to a drunken football player, this is a bit more fitting.

I might be mistaken but Rossi is the last 500cc and 990 World Champion still compeating on the grid.

Just watching the qualifying and why oh why has Laverty got that ridiculous baseball cap on that's way too big for his head that he has his ears tucked under it....! Have a look at Colin Edwards for the correct cool look.

Why can no commentator understand split times. Watching the official MotoGP coverage, one of the dunces said that: names used for Moto3 qualy so spoilered.

he said that Martin lost 0.6s out of the last corner because he didn't have the slipstream Antonelli had. But Martin was 0.6s up as he went through the last intermediate timing and that was against his own best time as he was on pole at that point, after he went through that timing line the other riders crossed the line, then Antonelli crossed the line 0.6s better than the previous (Martin's) pole time, then Martin crossed the line 0.001s slower. That is closer to the time he lost.

How is that not obvious.

The fact he has been champion on the 500s and the four strokes is what sets him apart, even if he is fading away now.

We'll never know if Marquez could cut the mustard on a bd two-stroke. He bounces well, which would have helped.
