MM is a tuff kid, the shoulder could still be a problem. Tires might be his biggest problem though.

 

Thank You! :saturn:

 

I meant to say leg, not shoulder. Lorenzo showed the most guts I have seen after his surgery last year. I expect MM in the top 5.

 

All of them are Brave riding through those injuries. I am a MM#93 fan and looking fwd to him kicking butt again this year

Ride Red!

 

MM is the only guy I have seen since Stoner that is comfortable with the bike moving around like a dirt bike.

 

The Lean Angles that they are achieving today is mind-boggling. I love when they pass on the inside corners/dragging elbows & shoulders.

Ride Red!

 

As long a MM doesn't hurt or kill himself riding the way he does...He'll be this generations Rossi.

 

Watched film on Rossi the other night (again), and I love the part where they are talking about the bikes suspension, the Japanese designers building flex into the frame as part of the suspension, because at the severe lean angles the normal suspension doesn't have much effect.

 

It's just freaking crazy!! His riding style...Marc has become somewhat of an icon in the Moto GP

A. Espargaro did his hot lap on the softest option rear tire, available only to the Open Class. General disdain with the rear tire that BS has brought. The conditions are very slippery compared to ten days ago. MM93 is notably limping around the garage. He's behind quite a bit on testing as well as fitness. He was NOT riding with pain killers so as to see what his limits are. For the Ducati Factory 2 team, CC35 and AD04 are both running the open ECU and software for the first time in earnest. AI29 has been running and testing it the most and is no surprise the fastest Ducati. Overall, the factory teams showed that they're at a disadvantage to the satellite and OC riders who tested here an extra session. Very, very weird FP.

 

The crazy results of FP1 resulted from a lot of guys on basically a qualifying tire and that the factory guys did not have the time there on the testing days.
FP2 is a little more normal. But I did enjoy seeing Edwards in 8th! lol

 

Broke leg..... What broke leg?

#93! The Reign continues!!

HRC!

Ride Red!

One hell of a race. Great to see the old man up there. Kind of sucks to see the Ducati finish in front of Nickey, broken going over the finish line even, Its goin to be a hell of a season with all the new rules. Enjoy this awesome old BOC

 

That was a blast. Great race and hard to beat the young vs old. So many fucking rules this year its crazy.

 

Great to see such a pack at the front for so long, something motogp has been missing for a while now.

But what a fantastic close to the race, marquez saying, "f-you old man, step aside, I'm the sheriff in town now!"

I hope we continue to see a pack of 6 in a battle for first, especially with MM, Rossi, Lorenzo and Pedrosa up front. Also, 2 Americans in the top 10!? Hell yea!

 

Already looking like HONDA will win the Manufacturer title again!

Ride Red!

 

MM and Rossi really like fighting each other. At Laguna last year Rossi was happy and laughing when MM did the "Rossi" to him like Rossi did to Stoner at the cork screw. Unlike Stoner who cried about it Rossi was excited.

To bad they ain't racing at Laguna this year. Either way, I hope MM runs the States again.

Ride Red!

 

WSBK is at Laguna this year. I don't know if GP will come back. That track is really not a GP track. Everyone likes the cork screw but compared to almost all the other very wide and bigger tracks it does not stack up. WTF is Indy still doing on the venue? Circuit of the Americas is the real deal, beautiful.
