100% agree and this is exactly why I can not stand people who boo riders. Or boo anyone in any sport really.
Everyone is free to like or dislike who they want but booing is for miserables.

Yeah..................... And guess what? It will happen again next round in italy when he humiliates flopsy farty six @ home. Marc's enjoying sending all you mustard clowns into denial & depression. Suicide watch will be on. Notice flopsy couldn't look at Marc after this race. Talk about a SORE LOOSER

Props to Miller. First year on Ducati, 10 straight races in the Top 10... he might not deserve the hype that some place on him but give him a factory ride and he would be competitive (more than the Yamaha duo, Suzuki duo, Lorenzo and Pedro at least). Shame that petrux will get the factory Ducati next year (he’s not a bad rider but I see more upside in Miller)

Agree!! Your boy flopsy is still a sore looser!!! Still cant face Marc. Must have hurt when he had to admit to Marc's speed from that question asked.

So Danilo Petrucci comes 2nd with a soft soft tyre combination, Lorenzo is 6th on the same compound. Shame about Miller, I thought he was going to stuff it to the custard crowd at one point.
I think MM will storm the rest of the year.

Which is my opinion of why he did so well last year. He never expected to be where he was, most of it fell on his lap.
Twice now when he’s felt the pressure, he fell off.
He’s the journeyman rider he’s always been. Nothings changed, but the over enthusiastic opinions of him.
My interest in GP is waning a bit. It’s reminding me of the AMA days, when Mladin was crushing a field of inferiors. I try to enjoy Marquez but he rides like a complete ......., and I have no respect for him. Another massively over aggressive pass that could have put Lorenzo on the ground.

Why are you surprised. Dr Costa should have been declared unfit to doctor years ago.

You mean the Dr. Costa who saved Doohan's career with breathtakingly difficult surgery? That one?

Yes the same Dr. Frankencosta who prescribes pain pills for races and lets riders ride with severe concussions.

Manuel Pecino (Freelance): Could you tell me what happened today please?
Jorge: Another really good start, even better than Jerez. My goal was to take maximum distance from the others but I had the group already close from the beginning. Even so, the first problem of today it has been that with this motorbike I get tired more and we’ll have to find a solution because I can not get the energy to keep up the pace. The bike has improved in stability and in the curve step but in the Montmeló Test we have to work to solve this big problem.
Laura Jordan (MotoGP): Do you think that you an fight for the podium in Mugello?
Jorge: Yes, of course. The last two races we did a lot of laps leading the race so we just need to find te solution to keep our peace during more laps. I think that I can be there and we’ll fight to do it. #JL99

He needs to give it up.
He can't make his tires last while every other Ducati rider can. He should be asking the question of "Why don't my tires last and everyone else running the same compound is capable of podium finishes?"
Podium at Mugello?

You are so right. After all you have been in his office and have first hand knowledge of what he prescribes and have superior diagnostic skills to that of a respected doctor, trusted and admired by the racing community, who's devoted his life to saving the lives of racers. Surely, you know more than all the people who have worked with him for all these decades. Surely a fine fellow like you would never bad mouth an esteemed doctor based on some rumor you heard on the internet, because we all know how reliable that stuff is.
Naturally you have concrete evidence of his malpractice and a list of riders who have complained about how he ruined them with pills and poor diagnoses, isn't that so?

Do agree with you about Dovizioso. There's a lot of pressure on him to replicate 2017 and I think he fell more into 2017 than anything. There were no expectations of him making a title run challenge so whatever he did was just considered better than before. As soon as he pushed at Valencia he crashed out. Now he has a contract that may be what he wanted, but with that comes more pressure. He's quick still, but the crash today was just a complete brain fart on his part of pushing too hard into a corner that he should have been on the brakes for much earlier.
Regarding Marquez's pass on Lorenzo, there was nothing wrong with that pass, he kept an extremely tight line and Lorenzo did not need to stand his bike up...there was enough distance between them that he could have stayed as is with lean angle and body position.
You say he rides like an ....... but did you ever have a problem with how Doohan rode at times? He squeezed guys off the circuit to keep them from getting past him and made many tight overtakes that were no different from what Marquez did today.
