You mean when he had a broken front disc brake hahahaaha. Ah the excuses are already coming, I'm sure if I had a broken disc I wouldn't be doing over 200mph lol

No for the season, but he was well beaten by his team mate in every race this season and even by crutchlow last time out on last year's chassis

Loved it marquez is just what the series needed, rossi on gibbers was way worse as marc sort of pointed out, did like Jorges winger wave on the podium. Oh and nice to see my prediction about rossi is coming true, time for him to move on!

No worries just a suggestion, it's somewhere I head if i haven't got much time and just need to give the bike a run out.

Mine with its first clean after the winter today

You could try heading for Holme moss that would be a steady ride for you, or a bit further you could head for squires no real need to use motorways. If you want a trip out to squires the roads are fine to ride along at 125 speeds drop me a pm.

I'm not far away, I'm not one for going out with 125's anymore but is there anywhere you want to find or just general suggestions?

Lol give me moody rider and spaulders anyday, I'd wait longer than an hour to avoid cox.

Now that's something you don't hear too often, infact I think it's a first

A couple of articles her, seems it could go pay per view http://www.atvtoday.co.uk/p30467/ http://www.cable.co.uk/news/bt-sport-to ... 801579294/

North wales good matlock

FIFY Or your bollocks off her it would seem yeah yeah whatever more to the point I don't watch that square box thing its shite If you don't watch it how do you know lol

FIFY Or your bollocks off her it would seem

Second race was better might watch wss at some point.

Lol clive last year's winner has forgotten to change his team, prob as now he's on a different shift we don't talk about it. He has Haslam who's unfortunately broke his leg.

I was never a fan of the kid in moto 2, he did have the best stuff and with no weight limit things were stacked in his favour, but sayig that you could see the talent. Now after 2 races in moto gp, he really has impressed, people including me expeted him to throw the bike at the scenery alot ala Lorenzo however tho hes had crashes the 2 races hes fought he has been excellent. Watching him ride cota this weekend we can now totally forget stoner as this kid imo is more exciting to watch already and with age on his side if anyone can beat agos record it is imo him as there doesnt seem to be anyone outside say lorenzo and the odd occasion this season at least pedders and an aging rossi that can beat the guy. So just wondered what other peoples thoughts are on the new youngest winner of a senior class gp.

Yep transfers now also done! Nice moto gp team Rach!

I expected to be lower! Transfers to come.

As I said unless something happens to the 2 factory yams or Hondas cal will be 5th at best. I like your idea for the race at Austin but I can't see anyone shredding tyres there built to last the race with minimum drop off as for ducati well don't expect miracles from audi any minor improvement will probably be the fact that Dovi at least is trying, he would have been top 4 like Valentino on that factory yamaha and if it wasn't for his name and the fact he can pull fan boys to fill seats dovi would have got it. The season starts for real when they hit jerez, no new track and no stupid paid for promo first race.

Why? I would say best for cal would be stay where he is, I really cant see the duke improving enough.

That is true Roy however that could go to bradl or even pol espargaro. Tbh would anyone put any money no matter how good results are that cal would be given a factory honda ride.?

Lol the faster Hondas really at a yamaha track, a track that a satellite yam could keep up with these "faster" Hondas. Cal will not get parts to get the job done as you say hew on a sat bike he will get hand me downs or stuff lorenzo doesn't want. As for Rossi he's gone back to yamaha with his tail between his legs it may have even been with ezpeletas help but he was beaten at ducati and he gave up, maybe he decided at his age no need to push and possibly hurt himself but he did all he had to rather than all he could, still he was and would have been well beaten at Qatar, texas will be a bigger test as it's more in favour of the Hondas. Cal has at best 5th place machinery that's hus aim for the year with luck he may get higher anyone expecting more will be disappointed.

Its just a turn of phrase, people I all walks say stuff like "what's the point" "it's a waste of time" "why bother" etc he will be trying his best unlike rossi for the last two years.
