Can't believe how much he would be pissed off, considering he was shooting an ad for Bridgestone just before the start of the GP at COTA

Interestingly as someone mentioned. How are you going to enforce this rule?

And why would Dorna want to stop the factories, let them throw money down the drain if they want, it will be useless come 2016. Just ensure that they contribute to the spec championship software, like Ducati did at the end of last season.

Because as far as I know only Marc was on hard front while others opted for medium. But still WHY...

well actually... Marquez, Rossi, Pedrosa, Dovi, Lorenzo, Bradl and almost every rider... were ALL on medium compound fronts.

the only difference was Marquez was on a hard compound REAR tyre.

According to this website -->>

Soup :: Rossi: The Front Tire Was Destroyed :: 04-13-2014

marc was on extra hard front tyre whereas rossi was on hard front tyre.

also poor rossi lost some time at startup also, as his concentration was destroyed by the stupid act of lorenzo, who was standing right next to him, you guys must have noticed that rossi started a fraction of a second late than all others and then in an attempt to make it up his rear tyre spin up badly, further worsening it.

one more thing, rossi set the fastest yamaha rider lap time.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

That front tyre of Rossi's M1 looks terrible. Unsurprisingly, it must have been scary to ride with such a tyre on those speeds! Glad anything worse didn't happen. And yes, he had a pretty bad wheel spin at the start as well.

Before I grow old and lose interest in life, I 'd want to read Mat Oxley's books on Rossi, Doohan and other topics.

just like the quoted article, my post has a warning...if you dont like what i say, plz ignore..

different persons have different talent levels and some are more talented than others, and he is one of the few most talented riders (seems so at the moment), so why are other equally talented riders not able to beat him, because they are either not in motogp or not on a equally competitive bike or they have passed their prime and are too old to take too much risks or a combination of some of above.

put a young (willing to take risks) and equally talented rider on an equal machine, the results will be same.

in my opinion, sucesss in motogp depends also largely depends on your BIKE.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

You Have to earn that bike. Not any Tom Dick and Harry running in Moto3 or Moto2 or winning championship deserves a shot at such kind of a bike. If you have the talent you will be spotted.
