Marquez show again. Very entertaining. Amazing talent.
To bad for Hayden. I still think he can finish 10th in the points by the end of the year.

GORDON STREETER · 18 May 2014, 15:54 (Ref:3407539)

You can't knock Marquez as he is the best at the moment, good to see Vali on good form again.

**Dani Filth** · 18 May 2014, 20:19 (Ref:3407595)

there was a bit of hope .. for a lap or two ... not enough
and again Moto3 steals the show

**gomick** · 19 May 2014, 00:31 (Ref:3407669)

Not often you see the top 3 Spaniards running 8th, 9th & 10th - reverse grids in the future perhaps

chunder · 19 May 2014, 09:09 (Ref:3407761)

Anyone else switching off the GP race as soon as he gets in front?

I am sorry but I detest domination, and this guy does nothing for me.

Moto 3 is the only race worth watching and to be honest they should put that on prime time, it's more fun, you have a great kid winning on a dog slow bike and you never know who is likely to win.

the other two classes are appalingly predictable.

Some folk for some reason enjoy watching a bloke paying with the field. Some enjoy watching domination, but I can't see it lasting. It didn't with Vettel and won't with this freak of nature. I admire what he does, but he is totally destroying the sport and it will lose credibility as a result.

Oh and do you all really think Rossi is suddenly quicker than Jorge after being battered by him for 5 years? Do yourselves a favour, the bike doesnt suit him and tyres suit him even less!, While he should be able to adapt yes, he clearly is none too happy with the package he i on right now.

**gomick** · 19 May 2014, 09:56 (Ref:3407786)

Agree about Moto 2 - I find this class boring, why isn't there more engine manufacturers in it like Moto 3...

chunder · 19 May 2014, 11:31 (Ref:3407811)

I ahve never understood this.

But imagine it now. Honda have a good engine, KAwasaki come along and find 5 hp, so everyone has to sell Honda's and buy Kawasaki engines, then next Yamaha do the same, so everyone has to do the same.

i can see thier point, and what of MV an Triumph triples?

Its a harder class to police, but you ahve it in Moto3, Vazquez bike is a total rocketship, quicker than all the Honda's and every Ktm by miles an hour.

Yet Jack keeps beating him coz he is rubbish on the brakes!! Hilarious

Alex Langheck · 19 May 2014, 11:54 (Ref:3407816)

MotoGP will eventually suffer – domination is never healthy. It’s like the Loeb era WRC. You can’t doubt the talent, but the opposition isn’t as strong as it could be; a demotivated Lorenzo, Pedrosa who has never been a Title threat & Rossi who is nearing the end of his career.

I doubt Dorna are too concerned yet; they’ll likely add a few more Spanish races……

Have been reading the new Matt Oxley book; and the US/ Aussie dirt track style racers during the 500cc era…. It’s a different sport completely. Sadly…

chunder · 19 May 2014, 12:22 (Ref:3407822)

You are so right Alex

And sadly a lot of new fans really dont get it. Marc doenst really spin it up like those guys did, he is just loose on the way in.

It is hard to see even in wild races from that era, but those guys had no safety net, and their actions were met with certain injury if they crashed.

The modern era are pushing the envelope sadly because their little GPS saviours allows them too and allows them to find SOOOOOO much data that things have moved on at an insane pace as engineeres cram that data and pass it on to Bridgestone and the like.

Marquez main talent for me is not his speed that is a given, but his ability to trust everything so much and lean on it to such an extreme that he looks loose on a bike that is designed not to be.

there is a finite level of angle and speed you can put into a bike on slicks, and with a guiding hand over you, and one that was not there for just about every riders early career on big bikes, it is a huge help if you place not only trust in it, but then go one step further and try and go over those limts aswell.

**gomick** · 1 Jun 2014, 07:59 (Ref:3413522)

Big flick off by Bradl in Mugello morning warm up. Iannone is pushing Marquez this weekend, how good would it be to see that Ducati win - will probably crash tho!

**Dani Filth** · 1 Jun 2014, 09:44 (Ref:3413611)

holy **** .. what a race in Moto3
what finish by Fenati
shame for the last lap incident

chunder · 1 Jun 2014, 09:55 (Ref:3413621)

I am fairly sure Jack was the cause of that last lap crash, he dived up the inside and was nowhere near, taking out two others.

What goes around comes around mate, your move on Vazquez was a bit harsh, so...

canamman · 1 Jun 2014, 14:42 (Ref:3413752)

2 high quality rides from Marquez and Lorenzo !

rustyfan · 2 Jun 2014, 06:39 (Ref:3414047)

Cracking races in Moto3 and MotoGP; Marquez had to work hard for that one!

Looking forward to Barcelona

Definitely Jack's fault there. The racing in Moto 3 has been aggressive all year, really enjoyable & those teenagers aint taking a backward step for nobody... I expect to see plenty more rubbing & elbows out racing in this class for the rest of the season!

GORDON STREETER · 2 Jun 2014, 12:36 (Ref:3414213)

Wow those last few laps of the main race certainly had me on the edge of the seat ! they certainly earn their money.

**Dani Filth** · 4 Jun 2014, 15:26 (Ref:3415271)

Gordon . check out Moto3 .. it was way way better with a cracking finish

I thoroughly enjoyed it too, awesome racing!

kurski · 6 Jun 2014, 21:18 (Ref:3416365)

Moottoriliitto chairman Tapio Nevala was at Mugello circuit lobbying Finland Kymiring-track project. MotoGP and FIM is pleased with project.

canamman · 15 Jun 2014, 12:31 (Ref:3421972)

Great start at Catalunya. Can Rossi nurse that gap to a win?

Catalunya + LeMans + Remote Control = Heaven

OMG - It just started raining and you can throw a blanket on the front 4!

chunder · 15 Jun 2014, 13:20 (Ref:3422024)

To be fair.

If you are struggling with what to watch between bikes and Le Mans, not quite sure you are really sane!

Good race, felt a bit for Dani, he seemed the quicker today, they are getting closer.

Getting a bit bored with Marquez nearly taking people out routinely, nearly took out his team mate and Rossi today, but you can't fault his brain and racecraft really.

Just nice realy to see a few guys getting closer, plus it is helping the racing as everyone hates domination.

**gomick** · 16 Jun 2014, 06:18 (Ref:3422388)

He seems to be able to pass them aggressively when needed. Was good racing, pity there aint another manufacturer upthere with them. What happened to Jorge in the end?
Moto 2, bit boring at the front - why is Rabat so dominant in this class when everyone has the same engine?
Moto 3, dice for P2 was good, Marquez dominating at Barcelona is ok, wont happen outside Spain....

canamman · 19 Jun 2014, 10:57 (Ref:3423735)

Sorry this is a little OT but I wanted my biker buds to see this.
Makes me smile every time I watch it.

He's still got a bit of fire in his belly afterall, if only he could sustain it...

Articus · 26 Jun 2014, 03:03 (Ref:3426562)

Will Marc Marquez ever prove that he his indeed human? Are their DNA test in MotoGP?
