GUY MARTIN UPDATE
Motorcyclist Guy Martin still wants to race but will not be rushed into making a comeback.
The 33-year-old suffered several broken bones after suffering an accident while leading the Dundrod 150 Superbike race in August.
The TT racer and television personality, who has returned to work as a truck fitter, is now recovering.
"I still want to race, but I'm not going to rush into deciding what or where I'm going to race," Martin said.
"Having a few days off work gave me time to think about what I want to do, and realise all the things that have had to go on hold."
Martin says he does not remember anything about the crash at Dundrod on 6 August.
He lost control of his Tyco BMW at Ireland's Corner on the circuit as he was leading the Superbike race by less than a second from Bruce Anstey.
"I headbutted the ground at 130mph, then skidded into a dirt field and catapulted off a few things," Martin added.
"The impact I hit the ground with was massive.
"I broke five vertebrae and they had to rod my spine because I broke my sternum too. I broke five ribs and two metacarpals in right hand, too, and my hand's been plated.
"There's no better physio than working on trucks and I know when I'm doing too much, I'm not planning to do anything that puts the recovery back."

Back to work as a truck fitter, so he's feeling better

 

Holy guacamole, that was one hell of a race in San Marino.....looks better and better for VR

 

Well this means that someone has to keep JL off the top step of the podium for the next 5 races. If the last remaining races comes to JL, VR 1 and 2 respectively, he can still take the championship away from VR. Let's hope there is one more wet race for VR's sake as JL seems to have trouble in wet weather!

 

Just watched it, did JL get injured at all..that was one hell of a tumble. ..but he's superman with riding injured...plates, collarbone breaks ect.

 

He checked out Ok on Sunday. Aragon he's going to go for the jugular!

 

Should be epic!!!

 

That was a very crazy race in really tough conditions. JL is definitely not out of it yet. He seems to be the fastest in the dry. Val will still probably have to win one race and stay on the podium for the rest of the year to win the championship. He can do it but it's going to be tough. Great racing this year.

 

The move of the race was when Marquez let both the Yamah's go by, then ducked into the pits when they couldn't see him. Watching those two wobble around on used up wets, not willing to make the move was odd.

 

MM made a Smart move. I think both Val and JL were ignoring their pit crews. They knew they were losing 8 to 9 seconds per lap while out there on the wets. How many points lost between 5th place and 2nd or 3rd. He would have been way to far behind to catch MM but probably could have been on the podium. His interview was interesting, discussing risk and pushing it in regards to the championship. I think he really regrets his late pit especially at his home track. But his lead increases. He's going to need it as I think JL has the fastest dry pace and MM next. Going to be a great finish to the season.

 

.....prevent defense often times prevents you from winning......

 

If Rossi ends up losing the championship by a few points he will look at this race with regret.

 

SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!















Well Rossi's fate as 2015 MotoGP champion is still in question, but Jonathan Rae's has been solidified! Without giving away the results of today's race, he was able to lock in the title.

 

Yeeeeeehaaa
Glad I got to shake a world champion's hand and say to him..KICK SOME ASS

 

Hopefully Rossi can get the same results as Rae. All year long Rae has been on the podium and the day he takes the title, he wasn't on the podium. Similarly, Rossi has been on the podium all year except this last race where he was 5th, so maybe he'll get the title, albeit if he finishes on the podium the remainder of the year...crossing fingers!

 

Even my toes are crossed.

 

Finally watched Rea wrap up the championship. Hats off to Vandermark, that kid was riding the wheels off the sub par Honda. It so reminded me of Rea on the Honda having to push it so hard. If Vandermark gets on a competitive bike he may be in the championship mix. Kids got skill. I think Rea would have won multiple championships if he had not been on the long toothed Honda. ARE YOU LISTENING HONDA!! ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!

 

+1 on Vandermark, too bad for him on the second race, he was looking good. Maybe Honda needs to lose more market share before they do anything more to the CBR. Maybe after KTM joins MotoGP with their new V4 racer, Honda will get the hint.

Seeing that Honda has not changed the CBR since 2008 its very old. It used to be every 2-3 years. Think 954 to the 04-05 platform then 06-07 (best looking in my opinion) then 08. Nada since then except "bright new colors and graphics". Oh and the Ohlins outfitted one......... Come on Honda!
