RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted May 31, 2015 Should be an awesome race, great to see the Ducati's up there in 1st and 3rd :) Rossi for the win though, starting in 8th and all ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APR193 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Not convinced Marquez is in this title fight, and I'm not convinced that Honda was as amazing as it looked last year. Honda have got real problems with the bike, corner entry and corner exit, normally Marquez/Honda's biggest advantage over the rest is now a disadvantage. Dani, Bradl, Bautista all struggled massively all of last year, Cal said straight away the Honda is a handful. Now Yamaha and especially Ducati have made progress I think Marc is having to push it closer to the limit, and the bike won't have it. Honda haven't made progress at all from last season it would seem. Will be interesting to see how quickly they can solve it. As it seems to be a fundamental with the bike it won't be before the end of the year, start of next season at least. I have a feeling this is Lorenzo's year.

Juice29 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Nah I think Rossi will do it. Not just saying that because I'm a fan but because this is the best he has ridden since 2009/2010 if he wins this race it'll be further proof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenColt 1 Posted May 31, 2015 I think Lorenzo will be unbeatable today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hondo pulled most of the hrc team last year to work on the moto 3 engine/bike. they thought there advantage was so big it wouldn't affect them, bad mistake.

Juice29 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Well it worked in 2014 they won both championships but now their struggling in both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamuelTrautman 0 Posted May 31, 2015 yes that was my point, they pulled them from working on the 2015 bike to concentrate on the 2014 moto 3 bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, if he keeps qualifying in 6-10th with Lorenzo on the front row, then he has absolutely no chance when Lorenzo is on the form he is. He is unbeatable at the moment. Even if Rossi qualified right with him I don't think he'd get near him for the last 3 rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukedfrt 91 Posted June 2, 2015 Watched the highlights this morning, Lorenzo is looking unstoppable atm. Good to see Pedrosa having a strong race as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted June 27, 2015 Holy crap! What a race! Those last 3 laps had me shouting at the TV lol. Very cheeky move from Marquez at the end, clearly pushed him off the circuit with a silly last corner move. Not the first time Marquez has used his bike to push other riders out of his way.Damn happy with the result though! The right man won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rossi and Lorenzo shot themselves in the foot today, but Rossi nearly doubling his championship lead is fantastic still. The most amazing thing is a guy who rode dry tires in the rain and was last for a while coming second, and a guy who fell off his bike in the first few laps coming 3rd, and both Brits!

buttonfan 5 Posted October 18, 2015 This has got to be the best race of the season, it was more like Moto3/Moto2 with all these battles and what a last lap from Marquez as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
