Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
Oh My GoD..the bike actually went in air with both wheels off the ground.
This is one thing that might never happen again. But can't say...
Amazing save...full credit the the reflexes and presence of mind and the skill displayed as a whole.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

So, if, Pedrosa doesn't win a championship before he retires, he 'll be the greatest!Last edited by Makky; 07-30-2013, 02:08 PM.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
Yeah, that looks pretty one-sided in favour of Pedrosa. But I think Pedrosa's chances have been majorly dented with the last 3 races. IMO, The ball is now Marquez' to drop. He has the edge in health, psychology and points.Originally posted by Makky View PostHead to head:

2 of those are objective and as for psychology : Pedrosa, Lorenzo and Marquez have each had 1 race with 0 points (DNF/DNS). Out of 8 full races each, Marquez has yet to finish outside podium whereas Lorenzo and Pedrosa have both finished outside of a podium THREE whole times (sure the reason can be attributed to injuries for 2xLorenzo and 1xPedrosa).Bajaj Pulsar 150 : 2004-2005

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
Yamaha 'd be taking more risk if, they decide to field Rossi for 2015.Originally posted by Dinesh.P View Post^^ Rossi don't want to take risk anymore by switching to Suzuki

Lorenzo has now entered a phase in which Rossi was in 2010. A defending champion slowly fading away from the top spot. Yamaha 'd be looking at the young guns from Moto2 world at the back of their mind. MM is a Repsol Honda boy. Locked up. Stefan, Redding, Espargaro? Let's see. Long way to go....

The Third Way: Aprilia Looking For Concessions To Join The Factory Ranks?
Well, someone claimed that he spoke to Nicky Hayden at Laguna Seca and NH seem to have said that there's a chance of him being on-board Aprilia for the next season. Silly season, really!Last edited by Makky; 07-30-2013, 07:26 PM.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
Well, the mystery is - Did Rossi understand what the truck-fitter from Lincolnshire was speaking?

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates
I'm in night shift and working hard to complete this months tasks in time, but can't reset ignoring any post on this thread.Originally posted by Satellite.kid View PostA very interesting read about how tyres react under braking and about braking in general in MotoGP...Jeremy Burgess interviewed:

Didn't read the whole article but just the last paragraph as stated.
As prince also stated once that Ducati's pace in 2007 was largely because of custom tires on the bike, this article states the same.
But I still believe the fact that if given a bike to everyone of the same spec and performance, Stoner is one man who will be either 1 or 2 on every track, as far as lap time is concerned. Though the race is not about the fastest rider
For me, I have not seen anyone riding faster around the track than Stoner. If it comes to shear pace, he's the man. And he did push the bikes to the limits, that is one of the reasons why he fell many times as well.Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.
