Its like calling a pass interference call first play of the game and giving the opposing team 28 points on the scoreboard. Game over before it started. There are other ways to punish him that make sense. Unlike your post that makes none. Lorenzo jumped the start to get a head start over everyone???? haha. Yea your right. Maybe noone would notice. You should change your user name to DornaFan because all you ever do is tout the merits of everything they feed you.
Strange that you ok with penalizing "mistakes" but putting someone in the dirt to win a race without penalty is fair play and should never be penalized. I guess that because your always jumping on the winners bandwagon. Your the biggest fanboy of the flavor of the moment and their usually the ones doing the punting.
I think I saw you this year on the Daytona broadcast. Weren't you the one wearing the Michael Jordan Bulls jersey

Jumping the start, is very dangerous, there is a reason the penalty is severe . Its amazing someone behind Lorenzo didnt follow his lead and take out the front row when he bowed up and stopped before deciding to go on. So no, its not like calling a pass interference call first play of the game and giving the opposing team 28 points on the scoreboard. Its not even close. Try again

Free? LOL. Ask Dorna. Problem is they are paid on a contract basis, in such a way that what they get doesn't change whether they bring more choices or less (so they bring as little as possible, and even less than possible, to the point of ridicule as happened in Australia last year). When Dorna re-negotiates their contract, I hope they negotiate harder and make a better deal. The single supplier doesn't need to be the same forever, if they create all these problems.

You're giving Honda way to much credit and we're only two races into the season, are you saying that Jlo won't win a race this year? MM is getting everything he can out of that bike and that's why he's so damn fast, I don't know what to tell you if you think it's the Honda and not him.

Not sure about the latest contract, but the original single tire contract was that Bridgestone would supply the teams rubber for free.
After a long and protracted
political battle behind the scenes Michelin has finally been forced out
of the championship and Bridgestone will be the spec tire for at least
the next 3 seasons. Each rider's tire allotment has been cut in half to
20 tires (8 fronts and 12 rears) and there will be no more qualifying
tires. Bridgestone will be providing the tire supply to the teams for
free, which should be a boon to the satellite teams.

It wasn't I was being sarcastic... I think Bautista and Redding should swap bikes. Give Redding a shot at a real mans bike. I doubt he will win any races on it, but I think he will at the very least be challenging for the top 5 every race.

The teams pay their part with publicity stickers on the bikes, Dorna sees to the rest.
It's probably correct that teams should not buy directly, but then Dorna have to negotiate better terms and enforce stricter conditions on the single supplier.
Things should never come to this:

the powers that be really need to sort out the rubber issue
off the top of my head I can think of Australian ruined by tires Qatar 5-6 riders all out in the same way race ruined , COTA 5-6 riders saying tire destroyed .
shows to me that they are not fit for purpose if you bought these tires from a garage you would demand a refund as they do not do what they are supposed too. so breach of contract. so threaten Bridgestone to sort it or get kicked and I'm sure there are tire suppliers lining up to take over and show they can produce a range of tires that can cut the mustard as this is shocking state of affairs and giving the championship and distorted look (well apart from mm of course who looks like it could take it home on the rims at the moment)

Looks like cold tear. Maybe Yamaha is over compensating air pressure on the medium compound because they cant make the harder compound work. Again, im not sure about the current contract, but the original, according to this is that the tire will be supplied for free, and of course they will be required to run a Bridgestone sticker.
Ezpeleta made it clear, however, that the winner is very likely to be a company with experience in the category.
"I don't know who it will be, so I can't say," he added. "I can
however say that it should be a manufacturer with many years of
experience in this class.
"The tender is public, so it's open to everyone. The proposal will
not specify money, because the supply must be free of charge. Instead it
must specify how many tyres you are willing to supply, what kind, and
stuff like that."

My guesstimation of a 20 second deficit was off by 29 seconds. Jorge finished 49 seconds behind Marquez. That's utterly ridiculous. I turned off the race a few laps in. There's nothing remotely compelling or interesting about GP anymore

Ah, ok. It's sometimes hard to catch sarcasm in text. But as I said earlier, Alvaro and Scott may as well swap bikes. Redding is getting the big bike next year anyway, and I don't see Alvaro getting on another satellite bike, unless the rest of the paddock have completely lost their minds.

Hey y'all. Long time no see!
Just FYI, I shot a bunch of Moto GP & Moto 2 pics from Haywood's Hill.

I don't have a guy too win.
That's the problem. When only a certain select group of people are allowed in the club its hard to believe most of them are there on merit. Outside of Marquez not much talent has trickled out of Moto 2, But since that's the only feeder series were only going to get the best of what's left, not necessarily the best talent available

Turns out, that is Hector Barbera's tire, not Rossi's.
