Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

There's one way by which Rossi can win every gp. Guaranteed. The race direction should allow him to do 10 laps before the start of the race!

.

The BBC sport commentator said, "Rossi is on the move and closing in" and before I 'd digest, it goes, "Rossi, now ahead of Bradl!".

To Marc Marquez - Aap Dude hai!

Good close racing Dani and Jorge, couldnt believe that they were not 100% for for the race. It was very evident by the end of the race, that this track suited Honda's the most. But the pace at which Marc just pulled away was outrageous! If Rossi would have put peddle on his performance little early in the race then we might would have seen classic Vale and Jorge battle. :-)

Enjoyed the racing which ended on lighter note for spectators and not for 2 Ducati team mates. (If you know what I mean.. lol)

Well, it's not like he was going faster. His setup allowed him to conserve tyres and maintain a similar pace throughout whereas the pace of other riders dropped in the last 10 laps. IMO what he did was tactically very bad. Any amount of tyre life/fuel you get back to the pits is under-utilization of resources.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Ah.... If only rossi would have started higher....still its quite ok... As at the moment both factory honda and factory yamaha are the best bikes on the grid and so somebody has to come 4th...9th to 4th is good....

Rossi... Work on your qualifying.....

Actually he was faster in the second half of the race. He was lapping 1.40s. Later commentators, started yelling(Eurosports

) that he's closing on Bradl 1 sec per lap. Then he was in 1.39s.
He mentioned that once the tyres started to slide a bit he could push. But yea, others did drop the pace towards the end....

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

I somehow feel Rossi is trying to finish lower than Lorenzo everytime. Watching him move from 9th to 4th last night, and especially the way in which he demolished the gap, only says on thing, Rossi still has it in him. Rossi is the most cunning rider out there, and may be he is trying to achieve something by finishing lower than Lorenzo.

But Marc and Dani going past Lorenzo bought some peace to my heart.

The season is turning out very good. May be we can expect Rossi to start targeting championship from next season. Would love to see him battle it out with Marc. That would be epic.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

See the difference in their riding style? A proper grand prix racer and a racer developed in the UK - more suited for road racing. Note the upper body position - head and shoulder.

Not the best picture to compare the two. One has just overtaken and is looking to take the corner as fast as possible. The other has just got overtaken and is trying to find his balance to attempt an attack and defend his back from Bautista. So not an ideal picture to make a comparison.

The rest though I agree with

You can't put 2 riders at the same patch of tarmac at the same corner at one frame of time.
Or may be, take 2 photos and MERGE! Nevertheless, the difference is visible.

When Rossi was tailing Cal, it was for sure a reminder of Catulanya '09. Inside line and make it stick. Everyone including Cal expected it.

It's amazing how Lorenzo gets a clean start even though M1 is slow off the line. Sadly, he couldn't control the proceedings in the second half.

Not at the same time, but on the same lap, same corner and viewed side by side.

By time, I mean, the different stages of a corner - entry, apex, exit and if, they go side by side, the line differs and so does the posture.

On an other note, Lorenzo, Pedrosa and MM usually take different lines. It's interesting to watch when they run in this order.

Has anyone seen this?

Just like the way it works in other sports. The riders apply for a number. If it's not taken, they 'd get it.
