[Closed] Moto GP 2014

That's the boy!
Dovi in the top five?

Well.... Lorenzo has already started the race ..... 😆

Ryder and Huewen sniping at each other is irritating me but whilst watching MotoGP qualy this afternoon Huewens statement of " Looks like Bradders has got a hard on " did make me chuckle 😀 I think he was talking tyres.

Nice track, Marquez well just brilliant as usual. Should be a good race from 2nd downwards with plenty of drifting 😀

Do you think J-Lo has been practicing his starts? 😆
He needs a result here, in fact anyone other than Marquez needs a result here otherwise he may well run off with the season. What's the record for most wins in a season? Lorenzo holds that doesn't he?
Anyway see you all Tuesday after I've seen it on ITV4 😀

😕 Lorenzo to Honda next year ?

Lorenzo to Honda next year ?

As enjoyable as the Marquez show is, it is a bit worrying for the rest of the season. Another pole/win double next race? Can't see anyone stopping him.

Beginning to wonder if Dorna will allow some Ducatti like concessions to factory teams to try and help Yamaha. With the sealed engine rule it's difficult to see how they can get back on the pace.

Doohanesque dominance 😕 the only thing tht is going to stop him is a injury.

Moto3 was a doozy, Miller not at all happy 😆

What's the record for most wins in a season?

tbh it was pretty dull back then the only interest was estimating how much Doohan would win by

Dorna will allow some Ducatti like concessions

They've built the RCV1000R in the spirit of the regs only to have Dorna compromise for Yamaha and even more so for Ducati so you can imagine the big H must be feeling fairly pissed off at the moment

Can't see Dorna letting that happen again. Expecting to see more rule tweaks.

Stewards happy with Fenatis pass then? Miller did not look pleased!

Edit: it is a tricky balance. Honda want to win and keep their advantage, but what's the point if no one is watching? With such a depleted factory grid it must be a delicate balancing act for Dorna to keep both Honda and Yamaha happy.

Well Marquez didn't have it all his own way. At least not at first.
Exciting start, it was all a bit Moto 3.

Looks like the Marquez show again in Jerez. Didn't see qualifying but 0.4 ahead of Lorenzo in second, and 0.5 ahead of Dani in third. How many pole/win doubles in a row do we reckon he can notch up? Can't see anyone stopping him at the moment.

I'd say he's going to win that BMW M3 for the years best qualifier!
Another win and he's away with it, come on J-Lo pull your finger out!
Doohan type dominance anyone??

Yep, Doohan dominance 😀
Rossi likes Jerez so no surprises there- well done doc!
What's going on with J-Lo? He seems to have lost his mojo, who's going to challenge Marquez this year then?
Apart from himself that is 😀

Anyone see Bradders on the MotoGP Tonight show on BT Sport 😆

I do wonder if J-lo has secured a contract with some other team for next year ......it's not like him to throw the towel in so quick

Phwoar- bike porn alert!!

Now that's an exciting prospect. I was expecting Randy De Puniet to make a comeback riding it- maybe there will be 2 Suzuki's out there next year?

Did I read or imagine Stoner had a test on Suzuki? Stoner is the only man that could touch Marquez right now (in qualifying anyway, he doesn't like a fight does he!) I reckon but only on a Honda.

That Suzuki is bloody lovely!!

Was I just not paying attention or was it the damn highlights, when did Pedrosa get passed Lorenzo?

I do wonder if J-lo has secured a contract with some other team for next year ......it's not like him to throw the towel in so quick

Who the hell's he going to ride for? Why would Honda want him and the Yamaha is easily the better of anything bar the Honda.

J-lo- Who the hell's he going to ride for?

Suzuki? Ok maybe not just yet 😆

Would Stoner want to return though? I think becoming a dad would have changed his priorities and seeing the accident that claimed Simoncelli would have had an effect on him.

Pedrosa & Dovi to Suzuki with J-Lo taking Dani's place at HRC? Which Spaniard to take the then vacant seat at Yamaha....

Can't see why HRC need to let Pedrosa go as he is pretty much guaranteed second place every weekend. Then again, he is dull as ditch water and has the personality of an amoeba so perhaps Honda want to try and gain some fans by sticking a rider on their bike that actually appears to enjoy the sport.

Would Stoner want to return though?

Probably not, can anyone else touch the boy though?

Ha ha ha can you imagine what Casey Moaner would do when Marquez duffs him up. He would crack the mother of all saddies 😆 he is long gone thank god.

I think Crutchlow should of signed with Suzuki last year, got the thing working and arrive with a bang rather than pedalling the Duke about.

he is long gone thank god.

🙄

😆 x x

I think Crutchlow should of signed with Suzuki last year

Yep, i guess he saw the pound signs with Ducati. He is proving (as did many others before him) that being in a factory team does not necessarily mean the sun will shine out of his arse 😉

Boy wonder is on pole again, that's 100% qualifying record five rounds in. I expect he'll win again, what's the record for straight wins and wins in a season?
Great performance from Espargaro to take second!

And on a sad note, Simon Andrews had a big off at the NW200. Looks like he is critical but no further news at this time.
Fingers crossed he'll be ok....

[i]And on a sad note, Simon Andrews had a big off at the NW200. Looks like he is critical but no further news at this time.[/i]

He is one of those riders who you just wish they'd stop racing... 🙁

Healing vibes to Simon Andrews and Franck Petricola, NW200 reminds me of this safety film

Josh Brookes had a good go though.

Hope Rossi can give young Speedy Gonzales a race today.

.7 of a second ahead too, ouch! Not looking like the best weekend for Rossi and Lorenzo (though looks like they may have good race pace). Or Dani for that matter, what happened to him?

"This weekend I'm riding less aggressive due to my injured forearm" - Dani Pedrosa

Well it was nice of Marquez to at least try and make it interesting at the start 🙂

Any betting shops taking bets on Marc winning every single race this season? The only that I can see stopping him is dirty play

Yeah, overconfidence and the honda biting him maybe, but it all seems pretty sorted right now. What odds for pole and win in every race?!

Maybe they could ask him to count laps, that might give everyone else a chance.

Loving that Kallio is winning in GP2, hope Gino Rea gets a decent ride, he is doing ok on a bit of a dog. Lowes is doing ok as well.

I fear for Danny Kents career to be honest.

Marquez is a bit of a freak 😆 good to see Rossi taking the fight to him a bit but truth is Marquez is head and shoulders better at the moment.

Only thing to stop him will be an injury which I hope doesnt occur but things can happen racing on to wheels.

Arse very sad to hear that Simon Andrews has died after crashing at the NW200 RIP 🙁

RIP Simon Andrews, sad times 😥

If it wasn't for Marquez, Rossi would have won a few races and be championship leader by now. Damn that pesky kid 😆
Five out of five- at least he made it hard for himself this time. I honestly can't see anyone coming near him this season. Unless he chucks it at the scenery that is- unlikely though.

RIP, the roads can be brutal...

RIP 🙁

before Michelin alone made a formal tender before the 22nd May deadline

Should make for interesting commercial discussions!

Overnight specials to make a return then?
