MotoGP MotoGP 2013 Season in One Thread Thread, it's ALL here!

[Dizzi]

ouch! no I haven't seen that before. No wonder they put a skull & crossbones on the tickets (well slight exaggeration but you know what I mean)

When Bridgestone first came to motogp they had some pretty spectacular high speed delaminations, couldn't find a video though.

 

[F1ang-o]

Glad to see Valentino Rossi on the front row for tomorrow's race.....love him ..

 

[Boyle]

He might be in with a chance of the title by default if everyone in front of him keeps getting injured!

 

[mjo]

One thing's for certain- the championship's wide open.

 

[Incubus]

Reading about the details of Lorenzo's surgery as published in Autosport, I get the feeling that the seemingly endless list of "minor" surgical procedures undertaken by moto GP riders in general will cause mobility problems in later life. It's gotta take a toll on the body.

 

[Speshal]

Just to remind you quali is on now - only on Eurosport or the BBC Sport website.

 

[Dizzi]

Quali also on the normal TV too until 2am. It's on 301 (red button).
The Championship is nearly as wide open as some of the riders.
Boyle is right, Rossi will have a chance the rate his rivals are ending up in A&E.
Looking good for Cal in the grand scheme of things, he's not that far off the lead...

Pre-season

And then there's Marc Marquez, I honestly think he's going to show Pedrosa up, quite a bit this season as he's proven himself to be a tad quick in Moto2.

Loved Marquez doing a Rossi on Rossi at the corkscrew

 

[Jos the Boss]

Also pre-season!

DT: What are your aims for this season?

MM: At the moment I’m focused on pre-season. After this is over, then we will take it race-by-race and I will try to do my best. For the end of the season, my goal is to be able to show Honda and Repsol that I’m grateful for the opportunity and that I tried 100%.

I loved Rossi saying he should trademark his moves!

 

[Fenderman]

Rossi will have to copyright his soul. Marquez studies everyone, learns how to do it better, adds it to the stuff he thinks up himself. He seems to fear no-one and nothing except letting the team down by under-performing. A formidable foe in anyone's book.

 

[sobriety]

Crutchlow to Ducati. Oh dear...

 

[gethinceri]

Oh dear indeed, what a shame.

 

[Speshal]

Oh dear x 3

 

[Dizzi]

by 'eck thee's a reet numpty lad...

Ducati haven't exactly covered themselves in glory this year.
Cal's going to have his work cut out next year.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Don't do it Cal..............

 

[Fenderman]

All I can say is ... or should I say Cal will be saying a few races into 2014

 

[Jos the Boss]

Pol Espargaro is on a Tech 3, I wanted to see Aleix there instead but he might be en route to Suzuki

 

[gethinceri]

If Crutchlow has a 3 yr plus contract then OK, I'd go for that money.
If he expects to win races in the next 2 years he's been sold a pup.

Ducati have been taken over by the Audi group, so hopefully the new team they are installing will do the job. Moto GP has been suffering from being a two horse race for too long.
