Now again Rossi and Marquez relation is fueled up. Poor marquez.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

So unfortunate, marq bumped rossi.. Good that he went to rossi to apologise.. But hope this doesn't fuel rossi fans as in 2015..

If it wasn't a wet race, he would have been on podium..

Think it was Moto 2, 2012, where marq starter almost last on the grid 25th and won the race..

This would be his second such instance..

I thought Marquez would have been black flagged for riding in opposite direction..

Marques was more a second faster that anybody after his ride through..

Rossi, what luck. If there was asphalt outside the track would have probably ran wide, unfortunately landed on wet astro-turf.
Pedrosa also went off line and highsided...

Hats off to Miller and Cal...

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

The most dramatic race I have ever seen after 2015 Malaysian GP.

Miller standing firm on slicks while everyone on Wets and going in to pits to change, Ride through pit penalty for Marc for riding on opposite direction on grid(of course what can he do at that situation - unfortunate penalty).

Post ride through, his pace was a marvel to watch and of course pushing Alexis out of the line and getting a drop a position from race direction, unfortunate clash between Marc and Rossi - God not the rivalry again.

More than Rossi and Marc, their fanatics are the one fueling the rivalry more through social media. Some of their comments are so disgusting to even read.

On a positive side, there was healthy race between Cal, Miller, Rins and Zarco(a delight to watch). Unfortunate for miller going wide.
Rabat in Top 10! finish (Maybe his bad days are gone).
Syahrin again getting points and in Top 10.
Good fight from Top Gun Mack to fetch the 5th place.

On the whole best weekend ever. This puts up a lot of expectation on Next race (COTA - Let's see if Marc make it another win in a row).

ridiculous race (like most wet races), and exciting towards the end :P

the rossi-marquez soap opera and conspiracy theories get reignited again

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Marquez with his pace could have easily finished in the top 5 after his ride through penalty ,without being so aggressive with his moves on Espargaro and Rossi but then he would not be Marc without his aggression on track .Crucial points lost could cost the championship at the end of the season .

All happened coz his machine gave up on him at the start line ;-) What happened later was only unfortunate

Exactly buddy... with the pace he had after ride through pit penalty he could have easily achieved 5th place at least.

Even last year he started his winning streak in COTA's track, looking at those I would say this as an unnecessary aggression.

The article nails it specially for a 4 time champion with his pace the maturity should have been there to not repeatedly be rash ,but poor Crutchlow and the rest of the podium finishers didn't get the attention they deserved .

Marquez just wanted to say to rest of the field " Hey, look much speed I got. I will win this race even though I got ride through and handing one position to another rider" Marc was trying to demoralize everyone with his speed and trying to make other riders look stupid.

As far as Rossi's statement concerned, one thing he loves more than winning races is getting into other riders head and play his phycological game. That what he did in post race. Cheers!!
