Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Downloaded from torrent. If you want I can send you the seed late night around 1-2am. It's at home on my desktop. I'll be back by 1-2.

So this is the way it went, Jorge stopped the bike to the left of his 2nd bike, while Dani and Vale chose to stop on the right of the 2nd bike for easy transfer.



First pic - Jorge going out on 2nd bike while the guy on the right of the screen is holding the 1st one.
2nd pic - Rossi highlighted in the circle stopping on the outter side while his 2nd bike is lined on the left side. Makes it ideal for him to get off from left as usual.
3rd Pic - Dani getting on to the 2nd bike while the 1st is parked on the right side. Same as Rossi.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

yes plz... i love torrents ..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Cool then I'll PM you by late night around 2.

Btw, this video didn't have a shot of Rossi changing bikes, but I saw it on ten sports for sure when he was practicing during he morning warm up. I'm going to find it out before the next weekend for sure.

That tyre got some serious trashing..




Lorenzo and Marquez incident, Any thoughts.

A camera showed Marquez looking back and there was no visual of the 2 riders. Marquez was then focusing on the race, plus Lorenzo was committed to the corner.
Was it a blue flag situation?? (I might be wrong, please dont shoot me ).

And Marquez took a whack...

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Sent you a PM

regarding the incident, at the time when Marc glanced back there was no one, but Dani and Jorge were around 300kmph at that time. When Marc joined in Jorge said he was coming in too hot and couldn't brake enough to avoid the collision. Marc's reaction(to the collision) from the right hand, even caused the brake lever protector to break off.

It wasn't a blue flag case this time, I guess the circuit is just of that sort that the exit from the pit lane joins the 1st corner which is the fastest corner of the circuit.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Ha ha ha, After Sepang I really wish I could do that. I'm sorry guys, wanted to start a log and finish it before PI but just couldn't. This past week's been crazy travelling and now I'm just back from another official trip, so give me few days and I'll be ready with my log (Don't expect much cause I'm not a good writer) but my Pictures will speak , Here's a teaser for the moment:

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Thanks for the teaser [MENTION=14352]shelton_jh[/MENTION] eagerly waiting for the log. I'm sure you must have seen all the sbks during your way to the grand stand. Do post those pics as well.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

^^ I personally am in favor of pit stops. This is the first motorcycle race I have ever seen with mandatory pit stop and as a viewer I was really excited and thrilled.
From the riders point of view it's a different picture, but since the pit crew role is more significant in such races I voted for "yes". But more people think otherwise.
This poll result is from Crash.Net | F1 & MotoGP | Motorsport News and I voted for "yes"


I found it, finally found it. So here are the pics:

Notice Rossi parking on the right side of the 2nd bike while coming in. The reason I'm so sure is cos the 2nd bike is being held from the back as well to give Rossi the push while exiting. 1st bike can be handled by 1 man alone.

This is the 2nd pic with the guy in front moving out of the way and the guy at the back getting ready to push while getting into a leaned position.
It's a good thing he gets on from the right side.
So there we have it, he didn't compromise on the ritual and got off on the left side even in a mandatory pit stop.

P.S - did he bend down and hold the foot pegs of the 2nd bike as usual ritual? or did he do it before the race started..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

@R-series: Good find, mate! But, did he squat and hold the foot peg? More interested in that part of the ritual! Takes 'a lot of time' to do that, you know.

Bike 1 has Brent and Bike 2 has Alex Briggs. To do these antics, one needs a good pair of hands and balance. Aussies surely know how to catch bikes, not just those leather balls.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

That part I couldn't find . I just added in the previous post. I guess he skipped it this time. That's the reason he came 3rd and not further ahead...so much for racing rituals..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Parking bike 1 on the left side of bike 2 wouldn't have made any difference to the result, I guess. May be, he 'd have been a lil' faster than Cal. But, we don't want to see a boring lonely race, do we?

It seems that Lorenzo missed his braking point, ran a much wider line before colliding with MM. MM looked on to the right after exiting the pit lane. Hard to say whether he saw Lorenzo or not. But, he accelerated very hard, an instant reaction which made me think that he did see and wanted be either ahead or closer to Lorenzo. He opened that damn throttle so hard that the front wheel went up.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Finally watched the race last night. I personally feel that the Marquez-Lorenzo incident was 100% Lorenzo's fault. Marquez was sufficiently off the racing line for Lorenzo to pass through but Lorenzo ran wide for whatever reason and clipped MM's bike.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Don't know how many of you saw this one. Has a complete drama - MM's pit stop.

For me, the most important thing other than the circus itself at HRC garage was that you can see Lin Jarvis speaking to Race Direction even before the black flag went up. Hmmmmm.... just more than prepping your bikes and riders for the GP.
