It is truly unbelievable the hatred and such that gets spewed online from Rossi fans.

I think Rossi is cool, I always have. But goodness me, his fervent fans are something else. Their like scientologists.

Lorenzo's travails on the Ducati have been a mystery. This year's bike in his hands have been a step backward, he had the bad luck of the brake failure in the opening round, the disaster in mixed conditions in Argentina that always confound him, the fade in Austin. The past two rounds has seen him r...

The changes made to this from an F1 perspective were done for safety purposes. With the fast corners this track has, these High downforce cars struggle to stay close, and that’s the main reason there are real boring races here. The old layout’s last two corners were real quick too—enjoyable to watch...

those yamaha boys would be daft to not test a tech 3 spec bike. zarco is a relatively unknown quantity but i cant believe he is making the difference. maybe for him it just works, but they may at least get some ideas what to do because its very easy for marquez atm and we want to see him at least h...

Regarding Dovi/Lorenzo/Pedrosa, it was definitely a racing incident. Textbook example of it, really. Dovi ran in too hot, Lorenzo was getting him on the cutback and all of a sudden Pedrosa was there. It happened so fast, there was really no realistic time for anyone to respond. You could say Lorenzo...

More Honda domination in FP2. Times are extremely close down the field. Jerez has had the track resurfaced, so it should provide great grip and exciting racing this year.

This is going to be great for me if it happens. I will be able to drive to this race lol. Never thought I'd be able to do that. :thumbup: :thumbup: And you'll never tire of it.

I agree 1000% Sandman, I just don't see them improving THAT much over the next two years. Hey, I'd love to be proved wrong, I would rather enjoy seeing another manufacturer being competitive. Their history, resources, and engineering all but guarantee they will be there at some point. But for Zarco?...

well, the crashing, the crash in Argentina with took out both he and Dovi, which was a big mistake, but more than anything, he seems to have a poor attitude. Or at least that year he did, and he's been under threat at Suzuki for not having a great attitude. This year he needs to do something, which ...

At least it looked all right at the end of the third day, but I still cannot believe Epstein's stance. Before Sunday, it looked like the track was wet due to the dust, and it wasn't...like the photo that Shoot999 posted.

Just read that Dovi rejected Ducati's initial offer. Looks like his agent is playing hardball. If I were him, I'd be eyeballing the second seat at Honda. Especially if rumor holds out that Zarco has no interest in that seat and is going to KTM. On another note, how long can Dani Pedrosa hold on to t...

Cold Gin

I agree regarding Zarco going to KTM, it seems an odd choice and they'd need a colossal turnaround in terms of engineering to get them on the pace of who's running up front, let alone Factory Suzuki/Factory Ducati/Tech 3/Pramac Ducati. Espargaro is not a bad rider, but he isn't challenging the likes...

Looking like Zarco is going to replace Bradley Smith at the factory KTM squad, based on some reports today.

I’m not sure I’d Epstein’s response was in jest, but if it wasn’t, what an idiotic statement. COTA is in the last year of its contract And this does nothing to engender confidence in rectifying the track issues, which are substantial. The bumps are very obvious (I’m at the circuit all three days) on...

That would be too much, for me. Handing him the win like that. The bigger picture has to always be kept in mind; I think they made a good choice in the interests of safety. Miller still had a sizable advantage at the start, and the other riders were penalized to the back. I thought I'd link this, al...

Some crazy race. A shame for the downright grade-A bullshittery Marquez pulled which has soaked up all attention, because right at the front we saw some good stuff happening. Stoked for Rins to have his first podium, would have liked to see him win but this is OK too. Zarco just not enough for his ...

Very interesting, Tim. I think it is the most bumpy in the braking zone for T15, hopefully they can do some smoothing there, looking at Pedrosa last year, his bike and he were all over the place because of the bumps. I really wish the'yd reduce the asphalt runoff on our track. it is so unnecessary i...

I like the tires as they currently are, I hope they don't get more narrow again like they were. Downforce just needs to be cut, and more of it needs to be produced by the underside of the car. Which everyone here has been screaming for a long time. Steel brakes are a good idea, but the idea of going...

Punishing excellence is never a good idea. Coming from Horner, it’s even worse. I do look forward to new engine regulations, but this is ridiculous. I’d much rather be elements that allow development instead of an engine freeze for teams at the back, similar to what MotoGP does. Look how thriving an...

The Ducati is much more an up and down motorcycle, point and squirt, Throttle wide open and then brake as late as possible. Since D'alligna has taken the helm, it certainly turns much, much better, but it still suffers understeer. Dovi has been able to maximize his riding style to accentuate its str...

My 11 year-old is going to go through the roof when I tell him about Bruno Mars.

He is not much into motorsport, I don't push it on him (my 7 year-old is another story), but I think as soon as I mention this he's going to beg to go.
