The Fez 3,596 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Battling terrible conditions at PI - high winds and rain - tough going on circuit. Plenty sitting around in the garages looking at the conditions..... Link to post Share on other sites
stevoz 5,652 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Nice podium finish to Miller this afternoon, albeit courtesy of an unfortunate last lap crash by Vinales while chasing Marquez for the lead. Go Jack!👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Monk 2,654 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Shame for Vinales really, although obviously Marquez was just eyeing him off for the right time. But that was a good battle for 4 - 10! I've pretty much only recording this year's races, and still need to watch most of them, but looks like Miller is maturing a bit which is good. And what has happened to Lorenzo? Ol' lolly pop man has lost it? Link to post Share on other sites
stevoz 5,652 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Yeah, Jorge is a mystery.....and a sad one.😞 Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel 595 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Heehaw came last, over a minute behind the winner on the same bike. Is he taking the piss ? Why has Honda not replaced him ? I remember thinking (pre-Marquez) that he was the best rider out there. Link to post Share on other sites
stevoz 5,652 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Has Jorge just lost his nerve? Has he become a father or something? Casey got out of the game not long after his first child was born. Poor Jorge.....left Yamaha to get away from Rossi, only to bump into Marquez at Honda......😄 Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs 164 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Currently in England and been watching the races on the local motor sport channel, a bit different to what Im use to, no Chris or Kevin hosting, but Colin Edwards and James Toseland doing the job looks like the same feed though, anyhow the results dont vary, Marquez and Rae both continuing on there winning ways. Zarco showing up heehaw for what he has become, a joke Yamaha getting better every race and Quatararo is astonishing. Link to post Share on other sites

Nigel 595 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hi Dazz, yes I can believe that, but generally speaking the difference between riding on the edge and a safe margin is a couple of tenths. (Not for you or me, but he is multiple world champ). And besides...remember last year when he was at the back of the field for the first half of the year then magically started winning, when new contract season approached. If he had a chance in the championship, then maybe you could argue to get him out there to pick up some points, but he is not sorting the bike out, not scoring points, why Honda isn't resting him and getting someone else - a test rider ? out there to develop the bike. 1 sec per lap seems ridiculous from many angles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bugs 164 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Okay it's not Moto Gp, but it's the next best thing, SBK at the Island next week end, so were off tomorrow morning for a relaxed trip down, plan to arrive when the gates open early next Friday. Doesn't seem like 12 months since Bartista totally dominated that weekend, anyhow, I Hope the Weather Gods are kind to us Link to post Share on other sites
