GoPro Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland 2016 spoiler and ....

Waiting for an interview with Lorenzo. I'm really interested in hearing what he has to say. He has gone down in turns 1, 8, & 11.
 
"Rossi looks good with that used tire. He will be right up there with me"

MM


I think he's just teasing the Boppers by getting their hopes up so he can dash 'em.
 
Like I said, Barbera is a worthless .....

He couldn't find a fast lap time on his own if his life depended on it.

Too busy looking to leech off someone else's lines.

If MM had no objection then it is not such a problem imo.

FWIW the commentators said MM probably wouldn't care since Barbera isn't a threat to his championship aspirations, and certainly not much seems to distract him from his chosen path.

Good point. It just puts a bowling ball in between him and his rivals.

Mike...I'm not going to ..... about it when Rossi benefits only because I dislike the entire practice. I don't care if MM has no problem with it. I think it's inherent laziness on the part of any rider doing it...and Barbera has been doing this every qualifying session; trying to latch onto whoever the fastest rider of the weekend is. That tells me he has no brain to figure out the lines on his own, or at best, he is just too much of a lazy ..... to put the work in.

Sometimes I still can't believe he's still in the game. I remember him on the 250s always passing on the brakes and overshooting the turn, over and over again. The guy just never seemed to learn. Always thought he was ....... clown.
 
Has Rossi even been mentioned yet? Quote it .........
We both know when and after the public declaration of whom regarding whom this whole anti-tow thing started, so we both know how hypocritical you're being. But ok, let's take Rossi our of the picture: it's still ........, comparable only to witch-hunting during medieval times. Towing is only one thing: smart. In today's case managing to get a tow from MM with a 2014 Ducati is pure brilliance.

He still is a clown. He can only "figure out" a lap when he has someone to follow since he can't determine braking and turn in points on his own. Pretty sure he wouldn't know how to put his best qualifying lap together if you asked him to go out there on the track with no one else.

There's nothing brilliant about it.

Are you one of those people who thinks plagiarism is perfectly acceptable?

I just made a post about witch hunting. Quit towing my posts.

I too essentially disagree with the practice, which as I have said previously was pretty much made illegal in moto 3 given it incurred penalty points, and certainly think riders such as Lorenzo and Stoner who find/found it disruptive to the way they ride which involves/involved them not wanting to have their lines cut up were far from obliged to give tows and entitled to object to same. I didn't really have much to say about the Rossi/Vinales tow except that I understood Suzuki's attitude to the tow possibly costing them their first pole since their return.
 
@ JPS I believe the fun thing about Motogp is the interaction between bike and rider, and between opposing bikes. A good rider rides well through the circumstances that this double variable creates. I'm not a fan of individual so called genius... Mostly, in all fields, it's just a lie.

*For those who came in late.

The issue of towing has been prevalent as a topic for controversy on here for many years, and was much more prominent previously particularly when Stoner was racing and objecting to riders seeking tows from him.

Nice ........ non-answer.

I noticed that ... about this CharlieParker. He still is a clown. He can only "figure out" a post when he has someone to follow since he can't determine copy and paste in points on his own. Pretty sure he wouldn't know how to put his best post together if you asked him to go out there on the keyboard with no other boppers.

I didn't see it discussed yet, but that replay of AI almost torpedoing MM at the end of Q2 was damn close.
