Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

marc is very likely in lorenzo's head at the moment, who seems to have lost quite a bit of his focus that is celebrated for...at COTA that was very likely the case, which led him to lose his focus (being self-pressurised and pissed off too damn much) clearing off his visor and commit the biggest blunder anyone has ever done in a race start and in general.

however, i really dont think his mistake at qatar had anything to do with marc or rossi or anyone being in his head or anything like that...that was just a pure mistake and misjudgement he did that's all...

the fact that the tyres are just not working for him thus far since pre-season tests no matter what he does is perhaps the main thing that has got into his head...he is probably a bit too frustrated about it and also in general about the fact that each and every year he has been facing this or that kind of significant issues against the repsol hondas for the better part of his seasons for the 4th year now, despite the comparably better first half of 2012 for him in this regard when the hondas chatter negated some of their outright advantages in horsepower, seamless gearing and braking (he still had to take it to 2 repsols at the pointy end every week)...and then i believe marquez's apparent invincibility is adding a bunch to it in his head.

feel indeed, from that background music very appropriate to what was being shown...one of the better rewinds that dorna has done where they havent spent first third of the video showing non-racing stuff that they usually do most of the times.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

A good video to watch to get an idea about the new track in Argentina - the Termas de Rio Hondo. A ride through the track. Don't miss the water tanker parked on track

[MENTION=38603]The Monk[/MENTION]: The track looks very dirty! Pedrosa might be pissed off a lil' more than the rest.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Probably that's why they have a water tanker there

Not much of elevation changes I noticed.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Corner 5, after the main straight is up the hill:

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Hmm, but not as dramatic as compared to some of the other tracks.

Meanwhile, Rossi rocked today. Up almost 2 seconds from his P2 session. Was thinking of giving the qualifying a miss tonight going by his timings yesterday but no more

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates


ah no. the circuit was still under construction when the video was made.

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Speakers were off and didn't check the original video. Was under the impression that it was Hodgy and BMW doing the run! hahaha! May 2013!

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Last time VR shot an ad for Bridgestone, his front tire gave up( read GP AT COTA )
Link to the video:

Will be interesting to see how well the tires hold up today...

Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

Hope for a good race.

Enjoyed that discussion on MM. Makes me wonder if, that #93 RCV gets scared every time he jumps on it!
