Patchelicious Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 So instead of chastising the Ducati engineers for not building a Ducati like his old Yamaha, he admits that he's the problem and that he needs to adapt. What's your problem with Jorge, Patch? Honestly. I simply dont like him, not very complicated. Donovan Le Cok, forkie and Gnarly 3

Audible Anarchy Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 That moto3 race.... watched it twice yesterday and then again this eve - bloody hell what a cracker of a bike race. LOVED IT! sawystertrance 1

KingTJ Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I must say, it was a disappointing race for me in regards to Rossi, but to be honest Yamaha was never in it Well done to Dovi for the win..

Gnarly Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Not a great weekend for the Yamaha boys... Great ride by Dovi. But man WHAT a race from MM, he crashed (5) in every single session this weekend and still pull off a 2nd. Very good ride.

Completely buggered. Not surprised they didn't do well, seeing that wear.
mazambaan Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 The ironing is strong in this one. Great for Dovi and the Duck, honorable mention to Marquez who still pushed hard after five or so tumbles. But where are the sneering ones about "too slow" Lorenzo when dr Rossi and young master weren't even in sight. At least Vinales acknowledged he couldn't come to grips with the bike and conditions while Rossi blamed Yamaha for not listening to him after testing last year. More seriously it must be very hard to ride a tyre eating beast on a greasy track in the stinking heat while last years' bikes are cruising past you. All credit to these guys. The next races will be interesting I hope.

The next races will be interesting I hope.People taking Lorenzo/other riders on as part of fan banter is one thing, you are now taking the "sneering" people on. That's a different discussion, careful of it, it usually doesn't end well when you make it personal between Hubbers. Dovi is winning on the same bike that Lorenzo is struggling on. Both MV and VR had terrible races due to the Yammie not coping in those conditions. It's a false equivalency to try and compare that, so it's not ironic or "ironing". Was Mav part of the testing last year that VR was referencing? "Blaming Yamaha" erm of course it was Yamaha, I find it highly unlikely that both Rossi and MV simply rode crap on the same day. Do you think they both simply had bad days? ALL the Yamahas struggled, some more than others, but Yamaha is the common denominator. Tease the riders you don't like all you want, that's what fans do, just don't try and do so with BS arguments. Edited June 12, 2017 by Patchelicious Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Wannabe Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 And to add, VR is clearly still struggling with his chest and abdominal injuries. Seems it was worse than reported at first.Some bikes is better suited to some tracks than others. Catalunya has traditionally been seen as a "Honda" track.

NotSoBigBen Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I am no expert but how come the 'non' factory Yamahas seem to be so much better than the factory bike? If they are riding the '16 model then maybe the factory guys should have used 2 of those .... just wondering
