Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

LOL relax

[MENTION=11424]R-series[/MENTION]: i agree with you, next year is going to be even more interesting. Marquez has taken the title more or less. However, i believe in 2014 things will be even more tight. This year, the experienced top riders in MotoGP got to ride with Marquez for the first time and vice versa. Next year, they will carry experience of Marquez's riding technique and skills in all the tracks so they would probably have better strategies for him. On the other hand, Marquez will also benefit of the experience he has gained this year. And Cal goes to Ducati and Nicky will ride a Honda engine...hmmm

Our old dog, I am wishing Rossi will perform better next year. With two worst years with Ducati, i think he did quite well this year. His age makes things difficult, but he shall be more charged in 2014...wish him all the fan luck lets see what happens next year.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Lorenzo is the best rider without a doubt. Incredible.

Valencia 'll be a killer. If MM doesn't make it, that PI pit stop mistake 'll haunt everyone there.

Saw MM's helmet design, I was taken aback. Isn't right, IMO. Sad that Honda didn't stop MM from putting it on.

Although, he lost a good finish, I liked the way Rossi chewed back the gap.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Biking Godfather ?? Really ? Hehe


He did make mistake. But later his lap times were pretty consistent. From 11th to 6th , it was pretty impressive. Not like the top three guys, offcourse...

Valencia has not been Rossi's favourite track. But you know, even I wish Lorenzo wins..............

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Pol Espargaro is the 2013 Moto2 champion.
What a comeback after a some horrible results.....

Valencia would be interesting for Moto3 and MotoGP........

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

lorenzo is the rider of this season. no one ever rode and raced a second best bike this hard to defend his title as much as possible against two strong repsols, despite a bunch of obstacles. he has once again shown what determination really means and how much of that he really has it in himself.

the larger discs (340mm) that were designated to the teams only for motegi (on account of so many real hard braking zones) sure helped him a bit in late braking, as he said in post race press conference..today he owned the two repsol hondas on a track that is by and large considered the most honda-favouring in the calendar and thus the weakest for yamaha..ironically, he gave yamaha their 200th GP win on a track which is an official honda test track

guess i can say congrats to MM for winning the title in his rookie year, unless he screws up bigtime at valencia which i dont think he will.

on the topic of elbow dragging, MM certainly does it most often than anyone else (he hangs off his bike the most and for long times through corners, so the elbow has to go out and drag against the tarmac) but a lot of other riders have been doing it for ages..bradl does it quite often too, lorenzo has been doing it often for years on some high lean worthy left corners (interestingly, only the left corners and very rarely on the right ones), stoner did quite often too, rossi does it sometimes too, etc etc... many motogp viewers just failed to notice these examples i suppose..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

I guess my statement was confusing just like me.

I'm favoring Marc at the Finale, but not without a fight

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Marquez crashes in Sunday practice at Motegi - YouTube

how in the world does this guy crash so well? AND walk away unscathed each time.

MotoGP goes down to the wire at Valencia. Racing, the way it should be.

MM can come in 4th an still win the championship.
We're going to see some dirty moves from both jLo & MM93.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Dont expect MM to come 5th or later..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

To be honest, i'd be utterly pissed off if Marquez loses the title this year. It would be 100% down to the PI blunder. As a (yet another) testament to how good he has been, he only had 50 minutes to practice in the dry (much of which he couldn't use because he crashed) and STILL he ran practically the same pace as 99, the race winner. It genuinely takes a lot longer time to guage the surface and set reference braking points. Even the mighty Rossi, with all his experience, couldn't get the braking points right in such little practice and the Rookie (more or less) nailed it.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Dirty move from Lorenzo? No, I dont think so. He is a very hard rider, pushes very hard but I am 100% sure he won't prefer the dirty moves to defend his title.

And for Marquez, I am not sure about 'dirty moves'.

I want the repeat of 2006!

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

After watching Motegi post race interview i don't think MM will be pushing for 1st position as he knows he has the title even if he is not on Podium in Valencia.. He has to finish in top 5 which i think for him is easily manageable..

The only way Lorenzo might get the Title is if,

26: Want my revenge - Crash into 93
35: Screw this Tech3 Yamaha - Crash into 93
46: I need to redeem myself and help Yamaha - Crash into 93
93: After watching Indian cricket match before race - I too want to finish with a bang - Tries to hard and crash

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates


Very smart....other points are still ok...but how does Rossi redeem himself by crashing into another rider?!!

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

If Rossi crash into MM he is still going to finish on 4th place in championship however with MM crash and Lorenzo (Rossi Yamaha Factory Team-Mate) winning or finishing second he will win the championship hence although Lorenzo wins the title but all will say it happened coz Rossi crashed into MM

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

haha nice...

I think Pedrosa 's crash into Marquez is very likely, but team orders......

About Rossi, if Yamaha Promises him his type of ride next year, maybe Rossi wouldnt mind going for it

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I'd say Lorenzo. I would like Kings Kenny's record intact.(But there's an other main reason )

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

It's unlikely that anyone wants to jeopardize someone's championship hopes. Fortunately, MotoGP doesn't have Sennas and Schumis.

I wish to see an incident-free race at Valencia.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

You could see pedrosa staying away in motegi too from marquez...
