Sounds like this is going to be our first real chance to see how durable the 2014 tires are. Unless it rains, of course.

Damn fast track. If these projections are accurate, they will  be averaging 114-115 mph. Most tracks are around 100.

Marky by a mile, but only because he is cheating, and the rest some way behind because the rules are fixed against them, seriously its all true, jumkie said so.

Is Lorenzo suffering from a brain injury or something. Saw this video and the translation and it is very strange behavior. He is getting very agitated over the smallest things, then goes out and totally blows the start.


 


Can someone verify the translation. He is beside himself over a tab on his helmet and wants to know where it came from. Someone in his crew says it has been on every helmet for years. Supposedly it was a video that has been taken down off  of Moto GP sight.

Hard to see past Marquez for this one, he showed at Texas last year in testing and the event how good he is at learning new tracks and being quick from the get go, so barring mistakes it has to be him. Looking at current form he's probably gonna be favorite for almost every round this year, maybe Italy will still be Lorenzo land his record in that country is impressive 1 DNF, 5 2nds and 6 wins from 12 starts, unbeaten since RSM 2010.

Podium from the last Argentine GP: Junior, Biaggi, Abe


 


Seems like a lifetime ago...Rossi and West are the only survivors in GPs from 1999.

Most recent weather forecast looking much better. Around 75 F, low humidity and almost no chance of rain. All three days look great.

The fact that it got made and put on the motogp website is more noteworthy than the video itself. What the .... were they thinking?

If he didnt, he needs to. He is either a totally self absorbedl .... behind the scenes, or he is cracking. Either way, he needs to see what it looks like and do something about it.

Blown out of proportion....seen videos before of f1, sports car, indycar drivers having issues with their car doing the same thing...obsessing over minute details that have nothing to do with their driving.
