Duane_Bosch Posted April 19, 2016 Share What sucks about the move is that the whole championship is becoming a bit of a Spanish National Championship. With Jorge on the Duck and Vinyales moving onto the other yam there's only 2 non Spaniards on potential title winning machinery. Rossi and whoever else is on the other Ducati. Sad really.

Donovan Le Cok Posted April 19, 2016 Share That's still not enough. There's not enough money in the world that would get me to ride that evil monster. Let alone race.

mtbride Posted April 19, 2016 Share When they ban the wings, I wonder if that Duc will stay on the ground at all nathrix and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 19, 2016 Share I think he suits the bike looking at Dovi's riding style and results. Wonder if Yamaha will let him test at Valentin after the final race or block him like they did with Rossi's move to Ducati??I hope he succeeds, then for Suzuki to do well and relegate Honda and Yamaha to 3rd and 4th just to mix things up a bit.

bertusras Posted April 20, 2016 Share What sucks about the move is that the whole championship is becoming a bit of a Spanish National Championship. Like WSBK is the British National Championship? I don't get this hatred of the Spanish Armada, the country invested a lot of money into building talent from a young age and it's now paying off. Why does everyone criticise it? Heck, the Spanish CEV now has riders flocking from all over the world as it's one of the most competitive junior series there is. http://i.imgur.com/40lyryY.png Steven Knoetze (sk27) and mtbride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertusras Posted April 22, 2016 Share How is this for an interesting statistic: 2015 Tito Rabat FP1 1'43.1982016 Tito Rabat FP1 1'43.050 So a CBR600 is 0.148s slower around Jerez than a full blown factory RC213V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the stop/start nature of the track which is a leveller of sorts because the big bikes, as a result of this particular tracks crappy grip, just can't get the power down.I don't find it strange for those reasons. Interesting yes.... KingTJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazambaan Posted April 24, 2016 Share Wow, I was terrified he'd lose it or get taken out and could hardly watch the second half of the race. . Funny the anthem though, bet no one was prepared for an SA win from last on the grid. Hope they didn't stuff a 350 motor in the KTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
