Thoughts on Motogp this year?

He needs to improve his starts. He about blew it on turn 1.

Kind of a boring race to watch on the tube...but the speedtv free live streaming was pretty cool for the onboard. Glad they stepped up their coverage - maybe since they lost F1, they'll spend more time focusing on GP. Regardless, can't believe MM and how dominant especially considering he was on the hard tires, to be that competitive early on.

This too, I'd imagine could be why his start was a little worse than some of the others.

I don't think he needs to work on his starts. Don't you remember when he started in the back last year and passed half the grid if not more before turn 1?

Marquez is is a force! His riding style is awesome

Yeah but he's not doing anything like that this year. In Quatar even he said he messed up his start. In Austin he ran way wide into the first corner and lost a bit of ground. Also I don't expect anything that crazy from him against the top guys.

MM will win the championship, he's the best out there.

[ama146]

not according to last race. people are getting all excited but lorenzo won by a good margin last round. and there are still 16 rounds to go.

Marquez is fast, If he stays healthy hell will dominate. Pedrosa can't keep up. I would like to see Rossi and spies do well this year but I'm not holding my breath on old #11

Bummers. Hayden is out at Ducati.

And the contract drama starts. That sucks for Hayden but it may be good for him. With the new CRT rules next year going to a CRT team may not be so bad. I doubt he will get a factory seat but he should do well on other machines. He has been pretty consistent at 9th place all season maybe a new ride will get him over that wall.

Between Lorenzo an MM in my Opinion Both are dumb fast, They both need to stop crashing though lol.  Crutchlow is awesome too, If Rossi doesnt step it up I think he deserves that factory Yamaha seat.

[ama146]

i liked crutchlow until he started bitching non stop about him not getting a factory bike

[Tpoppa]

Ducati is still in MotoGP

Looks like marc marquez is going strong!!!!

Looks like marc marquez is going strong!!!! 

You can say that again. He's totally going to beat spencer's record for youngest to a world championship, IMO.

[jbot]

what i would give to see a pre-ducati rossi + non-whiney stoner + current marquez + current lorenzo + theoretical simoncelli on a factory bike.  greatest battle for 1st evar.

The start of the race was sweet!

[TimTheAzn]

Yea, the strategies that Lorenzo tried to apply to Marquez were interesting and made sense, just didnt work, he then proceeded to burry everyone lol. Marquez probably rode the smartest race of his season right there lol.
