Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Did anyone notice Marc taking a feel of the ground in practice FP4 a day earlier? He released the brakes early to deliberately go off track at the corkscrew. He turned back to ensure he had the right line. That was a warning and I knew he would try it on someone.

Another thing, the reason why bradl is able to run with guys is that he had changed his brakes from Nissin to Brembo in Germany. They not only provide better braking but also the pads leave the disc faster upon release. This only gives advantage of a few 10ths which is enough for a good pace in motogp.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Now lets stir this discussion a bit

I feel Marquez is here to make some kinda point.
He could have overtaken Rossi anywhere, cuz he pace was fastest at that point of the race.
But he chose the 'Corkscrew'..

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Saying he is emulating Rossi would not be justified, he rides his heart out on the track. He is just 20, what would you more expect. Rossi did everything out there to win a GP race, we have to agree on it. Similarly Marquez is also doing everything in his books to win the races.

My few cents, I am sorry if I have offended anyone here.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

The danger point for Rossi fans is, Marc is doing everything in rossi's books to win GPs.

But I'm sure once Rossi is gone Marc will have the expertise to contribute his own to the sport, but right now he's got someone better to follow.
Wanted to say one more thing here, I noticed Rossi and Bradl wear the same model of AGV helmets. I love the shape of them they look sharp n classy.

Also, Bautista wears a scorpion just like me

injuries to pedrosa and lorenzo proved to be a career booster for rossi, will be interesting to see what happens when both returns completely fit.

Thanks for reply

Yes, would love to see them back 100% on race. At least someone must give a fight to Marq

Damn!

He was supposed to move to Car racing, not testing the RC213V. I don't want another rival for Rossi

. Though sliding will appreciated, if he returns.

when i said "emulating rossi" i was talking specifically about his overtake maneuvers.
(the one at jerez and yesterday at the corkscrew)

the pic below clearly shows how he considered the move at the corkscrew a whole 24 hours before it happened.

Marquez may be all smiles most of the time... but he is shrewd. Just like Rossi. (is shrewd)

exactly.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Exactly..and as I said if anyone watched FP4 Marc did go off track taking the inside line while downhill and then looked back to ensure he has the right line.
It was an exact same dress rehearsal of 2008. But Rossi did it instinctively, Marc is preparing to do them.

That what I said is most dangerous for all the competitors.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Hope Rossi gets more confidence and strong as the season progresses.

if he 's able to get upto the pace, it'll be a fun for Rossi fans to watch.

Hmmm, Stoner testing RCV.. interesting. Wild card for Philip Island and Motegi i suppose.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

^^ Sadly, Honda has denied any return plans for Stoner in the near future.
As speculations are emerging about his return since he hung up the helmet, this time Honda has refused saying there are no plans for his return.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

MotoGP has moved further from the prime days of Lorenzo and Pedrosa. The core men running the circus should now be looking at Marquez, Bradl, Redding and Espagaro. I for one 'd hate to see if, Bradl is moved off from LCR. Those few seconds tell a lot in the video.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

After watching the first episode of this show, I can say that Rossi was a lot of faster than other riders in 2008. I am Wondering, if that 2010 Mugello crash didn't happened, what would be the scenario of current races?

Coming back to real world :P, looks like Casey Stoner is coming only for testing purpose. Never know, if he may change his mind.

Didn't get a word from the video, but it was funny. Laughing knows no language. Loved Rossi calming Lorenzo down and Marq having fun for turning Rossi against Lorenzo
