Gnarly Posted October 31, 2017 Share He rode very well yes, title contender for next year for sure!!!!Hopefully then onto MotoGP on an ever improving bike there too. Absolutely!!!! Don't think people realize the severity of his broken arm was. He REALLY had to nurse that arm at the beginning of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 31, 2017 Share Absolutely!!!! Don't think people realize the severity of his broken arm was. He REALLY had to nurse that arm at the beginning of the season. He technically broke it 3 times because they rebroke and set it twice!!!And it was the forearm, the strength building alone would take months. He is definitely looking on form again. So the MotoGP talk is quiet. Reckon its still MM's title to lose, no change there.Did Lorenzo move over for Dovi??? Yes it was an almost fall, but possibly because he was off line moving over???Conspiracy theorists unite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Agree, JL99 did move over for Dovi, and almost fell over doing it. He was on rails during all the laps he led the race, to suddenly go wide around that corner, with no real pressure on him.... Think he used that to save a bit of face for Pramac.Must admit, that Duke is starting to work with him, he might be up there for the title again in 2018.

Gnarly Posted October 31, 2017 Share Can not see MM loosing the title, unfortunately. He has really matured this season and probably deserves the title the most. Now lets see how good he really is and put him on a KTM or Suzuki, kinda like what Rossi did when he moved to Yamaha. (although I do not support him, I believe he is that good) Now that I think about it I would probably support him a little more if he was NOT on a Honda.

I think he will do well any current factory bike, he is talented. What would be fun to see though is how he would do a 500cc with no TC.... not a trolly post, I know he grew up in a different era, but I would like to see it non the less.

And a thumb back brake like Doohan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 31, 2017 Share I really wish Suter could race their MMX500 on the short circuits. That beast would do well I reckon, maybe not on the pace with the MotoGP bikes but it would be close.I reckon come next year the KTM will be right up there. Their Moto2 is a beaut at the moment, the big bike isn't far behind. No offence to Pol and Bradley but they don't do the bike justice. A big budget rider, ahem Dani P, could really get that thing up there....... Wannabe, Patchelicious and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 1, 2017 Share That moto is a masterpiece if you read the ride reviews for the new Triumph range using the new 765cc motor.I think the racing will be epic. Its long been know that modified CBR600 motor used currently is a dog. Gearboxes made of cheese yet makes less power than the SS600's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
