BuffsVintageBikes Posted June 3, 2019 Share VR46 , time to think about a retirement package and let us remember you for all the right reasons Comments like this always have me chuckling... currently 5th in the championship but needs to retire... go figure Same could be said for Jarvis except he goes and wins Erzberg yesterday at 44yrs old?

Popit Posted June 3, 2019 Share Make no mistake I love Rossi and all he has achieved , and done to make MotoGP mainstream .However , he hasn't won in a very long time , and his last championship was 2009 . Many top athletes retire at the top of their game (CS27) and many carry on for maybe 1 or 2 years too many ..... Rossi is edging towards the latter ..... Colin Edwards said 0.1 of a second per year slower from about age 33 onwards . I am certainly not comparing Rossi/Edwards , just mentioning that maybe Father Time IS starting to have an adverse effect on VR46 !! gemmerbal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popit Posted June 3, 2019 Share Same could be said for Jarvis except he goes and wins Erzberg yesterday at 44yrs old? Think you comparing apples with lemons here !! I never said I didn't think he could still win , but it is highly unlikely , and he has 0% chance of winning this championship this year .

He's still top performing Yamaha, and can still mix it with the top top okes when top speed isn't everything. But, unfortunately, the Yam is kaaaak at top speed to such an effect that it's harming their chances in fighting for the podium consistently. Over it? Definitely not. Who cares when he last won a championship - his team roster since then hasn't been the greatest, either. Developed Honda to the best on the circuit. Went to Yam, turned IT into the best on the trackWent to a Duc that was continually declining in performance (yes, the CS bike that even he said was getting slower and duc wasn't listening to him) where he was ignored ito development (well documented)Went back to Yam where there was a new nr1 rider, and all effort was going towards developing the bike in that direction He and the rest of the Yam riders have had a long history of criticising the Yam's power and tyre management. They've just got the latter sorted partially, but now they're 22kph down on top end. That's MASSIVE. And yet, he's still there. Top Yam. Yeah, he's past it, alright.

Gnarly Posted June 17, 2019 Share Can't believe nothing said here about THE crash. Anyway, great to see Cal's sense of humour again, on IG, he said at least nobody would be talking about his crash for once.

JL has been a twat for ages, he just proved once again that he is one, even with his booster seat he still twatted it. But you can’t say anything bad here about Wet Blanket without “fans” getting triggered. gemmerbal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don’t talk about his crashes in any case.Now he is resorting to using other people’s crashes for attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted June 17, 2019 Share Proper rookie error.He’s not a rookie, he is an over the hill, under performing moaner who is just cracking under the pressure. Not even his squid headed tank helped. gemmerbal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 18, 2019 Share Surprised nobody has put on their conspiracy theorists tin foil hat and said it was all planned by HRC on his Japanese trip, to help Marc.............. Marc rode a flawless race, with his consistency it was always going to be his race once he got past road-block Dovi. Popit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
