Out of Nowhere
Apologies to Jakrap - I was convinced that both factory Ducatis had run the soft front. Perhaps my original point should have been that the softer option was always going to favour Lorenzo over Dovi.
A very counter intuitive weekend though in which the hard front was actually deemed softer than the medium due to its asymmetry. Completely crucified Pedrosa.
Thanks Mike.

In those two years there were so many salty tears in the Yellow Custard grandstands that Dorna made them wear Depends.
Have you ever tried using Canesten cream after bathing?
Jorge Lorenzo today: "Non si può confrontare la mia esperienza in Ducati con quella di Rossi: sono epoche diverse, la ducati ora è più competitiva mentre quella di Rossi era più complicate".
"I can't compare my experience in Ducati with Rossi's; they were two different eras, the Ducati is more competitive now whereas Rossi's Ducati was more complicated".
Tech 3 has always received last year’s bike and that was that. There has never been any “Support” from Yamaha after they wheel the bikes in after Valencia.
The 2018 aero and upped revs that Zarco has are already more “Support” than he usually would have received. But keep grasping at straws.
He's beating everyone but Marquez in the title race. Stings, doesn't it?

Yes exactly.
But if you defend your man when he ..... up and complain when someone else does, don't cry when others do it for their rider.
As I pointed out as well, 2 of MM's biggest critics admitted, very quickly and quietly, that they got it wrong when crying foul.
Jorge might well be getting Mav's bike at this rate...

Good editing on the quote, missing out where I said exactly that straight after the part you quoted. Well done.
I notice that you also missed out the part regarding a cetain rider playing a major part in it's development, when we were all told for years he couldn't develop ...., it was his fault the bike was .... and only 2 men could save it.
Looks like it has finally been developed.

And only 23 points off when the Yamaha is the 3rd or 4th best bike..
False premise, Reefer Dogg. When did I defend my man when he ...... up? Who is 'my man' supposed to be? Or are you creating a strawman?
I think we missed the Ugandan GP where Rossi rammed 18 people off the track one weekend!
So why make the point if it's negated by your next sentence? Is it because you know it's a silly point?
Who is that certain rider? It'd help if you didn't write so cryptically. Stoner? Stoner is awesome and undoubtedly is a really helpful test rider, as is Pirro. Dall'Igna takes the most credit, though.
Wow! Maybe he'll return to Suzuki? Or even go to Repsol Honda? I think Yamaha would accept Lorenzo in his place, if Mav is prepared to negotiate an early release!
Haa, good point that does sting a bit.
Imagine if Marc didn't have two races with zero points?!
And whose fault was that? Marc's.
Imagine if Rossi didn't crash at Valencia 06. Whose fault was that? Rossi's.
No-one doubts that Marc is the best rider on the grid by a mile.
I don’t understand Maverick , really.
He chose a complete different setup direction than Rossi and said that he feels great with it. Come race day, his direction sucks while Rossi’s doesn’t. Not the first time this happened either. And then he blames Yamaha for it too.
You’re definitely not imagining this
