to stay away from the main race and not worth mentioning ride from Rossi.....Darren Binder was looking great in his race, up for the scrap up front. Pity he overcooked it, I think he got a bit over excited...his race was the highlight of the day.

 

ZArco..La personne sauvage!!

What was that elbowing after the finish in moto2?

 

That guy who came second obviously just didnt like losing.

[Gnarly]

He didnt do anything worth mentioning..... 

 

Correct, but go look at the history of this thread. Every time Steven does not mention Rossi is his race thoughts, somebody takes offence.

[Gnarly]

Anybody got any news of Binder's progress? 

 

From tweeter 19th April, fair to say he'll be out for awhile still. 

 

[Wannabe]

What's to say about Rossi?

 

It was obvious that there was a problem with his bike, he dealt with it as good as he could (at least he did not bin it) and he still leads the championship by 2 points.

Not bad for an old timer that was written off before the season even started.

Take it that Cal crashed again?

and if my auntie had a willy she would be my uncle..............

First need to finish to finish first, he is too inconsistent.

Sure he has good pace but he falls too often. He has been very vocal about the current factory riders not meeting their performance clauses and how he would then be up for their rides, yet rookies like Folger, Zarco, etc are getting top 10 finishes. Aprilia and KTM also making good strides in development.

Hear he may get Nakagami/Takahashi (some jap rider in Moto2) as a 2nd LCR rider next year and then VR46 are also looking for a MotoGP entry for next year. Grid places are limited remember, so if he doesn't watch himself he may just end up with no ride at all.

I forgot the Comic Sans.

Unforgiveable!!!!!

 

Really hoping this may possibly, holding thumbs, be Dani's championship year. If Jorge can consistently get in the mix, MM, VR and MV, with Zarco and Crashlow thrown in to also steal points, who knows. Looks like Sete's mentorship is also helping,

He is THEE most deserving winner for the championship. It would be a travesty if he retired without winning. He just has such bad luck, the year Simoncelli took him out really looked like his year.

At this point he is the best rider never to win a title..........

I agree with you. When he jumped to MotoGP, with HRC building that small V5 basically for him, I thought he was going to Doohan it.

 

Not a fan of his personally but I must admit that I will be cheering for him. (After Doc of course)

[Popit]

Have to agree with some of the above sentiments regarding DP .

I for one hope he wins the championship as he has been a loyal servant to both HRC and MotoGP for many years .

 

You never hear him complain in public , and he just gets on with the job .

 

HOWEVER , he will have huge pressure from MM and MV for the whole season , and some pressure from VR46 noew and again .

 

Zarco is the real deal .... look forward to seeing him up front week after week , not being intimidated at all .

 

Although not a JL99 fan , I am a MOtoGP fan , and therefor am pleased he had a good ride , and hope it happens consistantly going forward .

 

As for Cal Crashlow .... typical ... oh ya , had he not crashed , he would certainly have won , and by 20 seconds nog al .

When I was still with Yamaha one of our Bidvest team riders (I'll keep his name secret!) was nicknamed in the corridors as "The fastest rider between crashes".......
