  • Re: MotoGP 2014 Season - Updates

    An interesting read, something i didn't know about the Q1 to Q2 tyre allocation thing.

    MotoGP

      Looks like no one is interested in the FP at Brno. Like I said few weeks back, it is turning into a boring and monotonous show. And now I can even see it here.

        Moto 3 is still interesting. Moto 2 is kinda boring. Gone are the days of seeing Marquez, Bradl, Iannone and PEsp battling it out. Now the competition seems very tame there.

        Hopefully Lorenzo can find something to liven things up this weekend. Counting on the robot!!!

          Even I am hoping Jorge to show some resistance, but since the Championship almost certainly decided, it seems no one really cares about the best result anymore. They are just trying to make the bike better because there is always a next year.

            @R-series: Where are you, mate? Bumped into Maverick Vinales at the pits yesterday. Said, he wouldn't sign the Suzuki deal without your approval. And because of this, Aleix Esp is pissed off!

            .......................


            HRC will plonk in RC213V engines into their production racers from next year. Should be interesting given that it is doing well at the hands of Redding at some circuits even with a lower acceleration and top speed. With soft tyre and more fuel, it should get faster enough to challenge "satellite" riders.

              Oh yeah, this is your 'home' race

              AFAIK, Honda is giving this years factory bikes to the Aspar, LCR, Gresini. The only thing missing will be the seamless gearbox. They are tired of the Forward Yamaha whooping their butt. Also it will give them a chance to collect data for the spec electronics from these teams.

                Rossi down while leading in FP4 at Brno. He is in his van. Maybe his wrist is injured.

                    interesting and informative read Leon Camier Explains The Difference Between Turning A WSBK Pirelli And A MotoGP Bridgestone | MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks

                    despite still basically being an amateur non-pro, i can generally relate to what he says about the characteristics of the superbike tyres under braking and cornering...the road legal tyres on sportbikes pretty much behave the same way as the race special pirellis in WSBK, only that the latter are custom built for dry racing and thus carry several more delicate and advanced properties and the road-legal ones arent so advanced but nevertheless the general nature/behaviour of braking into cornering is very similar it seems...

                      What a race! I have never seen anything like that before. So many riders in the leading group! Moto3 boys are a stunning crop!

                      Top-class circuit it is!

                      Does anyone know on what website can I watch the race again?
                      Thanks in advance.

                      hahaha..... Just go to know that Alex Rins was actually celebrating his finish a lap too soon!



                      [MENTION=38603]The Monk[/MENTION]: Looks like Nakamoto wants to have full grid for himself and HRC. Considering his thick friendship with Dorna chief, it shouldn't be impossible.

                          Congrats to Danny Pedrosa,Lorenzo and Rossi. What a great run though feeling bad about Marquez. His rear tyre was totally worn out. Must be something wrong.

                            yeah seemed like something went amiss with MM's tyres..well but that's part of the racing...lorenzo suffered most 1st half of the season with something with the tyres, dani suffered for several races with tyres too...this is the first time in this season that MM suffered with tyres...

                            that is, if it was something about his tyres indeed...could have been something else of course, gotta wait till his statements come out to know better.

                              And it happened!! The whole world is happy except for people in MM's garage.
