When you simply look at MM in interviews - the impression is that at his current age, he is in much better shape than Rossi was at the same age. And - you can bet your ... he trains harder because than Rossi ever did, he KNOWS that his competition is closer, and that the top bikes are too similar. I'm not betting the house on him, but I sure as .... ain't betting against him.
Absolutely but the black line painting from the front ain't there anymore. He is the only rider to ever be able to do that so regularly.
I agree. At this point it is all speculation. He may not be able to do the immaculate saves with the current package, but I think he is still the best at riding when the bike when things aren't perfect. Bad weather or just a bad set up. His worse days are better than everyone else. A bad race for him is still a top 5. A bad race for pecco or martin is a 10th or so.
Agree. When was the last time (if ever) Marquez had a bike as dominant as the current generation Ducati's?
Hence why I think he's been so calm in preseason. I think (am hoping) he knows that he is comfortable at a base level with the bike and knows the speed will come when he pushes.
I saw some pictures last yr of a shirtless Marc doing training tests at the Red Bull Athlete centre. I am 100% Not gay....but I'd think about it in his case. The dude is ....... RIPPED.
The best always find the fastest way to ride whatever is given to them. Look at people like Senna in F1. He was fast with turbo cars, naturally aspirated, low aero cars, high aero cars.
That's the key. Look at his 2019 season Vs Pecco's, Fabio's and Mir's seasons.
Fair enough, I must confess to not following Willairot’s career closely outside of the incident. He was significantly injured in the crash however, which certainly didn’t help his season that season as was also the case for MM, and definitely had a right to be on a warm down lap with no expectation of being nerfed by a rider attempting a hot lap.
As I said, he was 18 and in his first moto 2 season and was sent out to do that lap by a pit crew of experienced adults. I do think he has generally shown more care for the safety of fellow competitors in his latter career, and Dorna has actually created a situation when the first lap and first corner are everything particularly in the sprint races and if you are riding a bike other than a Ducati.
Yes but are you 101% not gay? That's the number we're looking for here.
You are not going to like this place much. It is a very common opinion around here that Valentino ........ is the biggest ...... bag to ever swing his leg over a motorcycle. Him and his fans toxic behavior doesn't fly around these parts.
I'm not toxic though and I don't do childish insults just for the sake of it. Only here for the racing.
I didn't insult you just that trash bag of a person Rossi and his fans who cheer other riders crashing and boo them on the podium. If you want to talk 2015 you will find plenty here willing to prove you wrong.We are all allowed an opinion. Looks like mine is going to differ from yours.
Now, what bike do you ride Dibby?
Welcome, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
