NotSoBigBen Posted October 17, 2016 Share Think back to last race of last year. Rossi was not going to get the points needed to win the title in that race with 10 laps to go already. Yet he rode flat out till he crossed the line. It might actually make for a more exciting race between those two. Now that they cant win, they might turn their energy on each other..... I think it's in these guys blood, winning that is .... I think they'll still go hell for leather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popit Posted October 17, 2016 Share Well done MM , a deserved winner . Imagine how fast he is gonna be at PI with nothing to lose now ...Remember last year ... he closed a 1 sec gap , passed 2 guys ( on the last lap ) , and took the win . Gonna be Awesome .Expect both VR46 and JL to look for the win , both love PI .... I can't wait ..... mtbride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted October 17, 2016 Share And this only leaves Superbikes , but Ray will wrap it up at the next races .I used to love SBK, but I couldnt be bothered anymore. Not sure what happened, but its almost as if it has become a second rate series. Wannabe and mtbride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbride Posted October 17, 2016 Share I used to love SBK, but I couldnt be bothered anymore. Not sure what happened, but its almost as if it has become a second rate series. Agree, also not much interest in the series anymore. The days of Chili, Haga, Bayliss, Edwards and Corser as long gone ... booming V-Twins against the 750 4's.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 19, 2016 Share I for one am glad the title is done and dusted. Realistically it was always MM's to lose.This leaves us with the potential for really good racing between the Yamaha boys for 2nd spot.I will imagine at some point MM will be in the mix, he will get accused of assisting JL yet again. Should make for good viewing.Lets hope Yamaha lets them race and there are no shenanigans fro management. Oh, Hayden back on a Repsol Honda, who would have thought that would happen.......... mtbride and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still get booed, almost a year on. I don't think that he will win a title either, but he will keep the guys honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that he will win a title either, but he will keep the guys honest.Yeah MM lost out big time, he is crting into a bucket as we speak(sorry no sarcasm font on my phone) I think Rossi will have his hands full with Vinales and if Honda make any improvements to their bike over the off season we may very well see MM getting that streak of 2014 going again On a side note, can you imagine if Lorenzo starts winning first few races on the Duke. That should get the feud with Rossi going properly.Iannone has already won a dry race with both Dukes always there or thereabouts so its not impossible......

Wannabe Posted October 20, 2016 Share 2017 is gonna be exciting.Actualy a pity Vinales is leaving Suzuki, he is starting to show some serious speed on that Suz.Let's hope he can carry it over to Yamaha.Rossi still have a few race victories in him, but alas, I fear no more World Titles.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 20, 2016 Share For now...Couldn't agree more.Gone are the days when everyone thought the day that Rossi leaves, is the day that MotoGP dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
