Yeah, it's a bit previous... as much as I like Bradders, he hasn't even been in contention for a top 5 yet...

He won five 250 races not GP races


 


250cc races are Grand Prix races. So he has 5 GP wins. He has zero MotoGP wins. But that's not what the commentator said.

I think you and Povols irony meters have been designed by Ducati.

Semantics,but it was lazy broadcasting. Technically they are correct but when have you ever mentioned a moto2 moto 1 250 or 125 rider as a GP rider. They are in almost every instance referred to by the class they are in


This is the same team that explains every week to the audience what the black things that look like hockey pucks on the riders knees are for.
 
But he didn't say 250 GP class wins. He said GP wins which leads the new crop of fanatics into believing


that he has won 5 races in the MotoGP class.
 
Sorry JKD - wife was giving me a to do list and protocol is imperative that I look her in the eye


while she does so. After she finished I hit the post button but you had made the distinction already.


 


At least I didn't screw up at home

Is your wife hot?


 


Anyways, Laguna Seca has always been an unpredictable track.  I mean, hell....... even "The Kentucky Squid" was able to get 2 of his measley 3 wins in MotoGP here.  Now THAT says alot.
 
One other thing ---- wonder if without RdP's current armpiece and her good looks


would he even mention RdP at all. Just saying
 
<p style="color:rgb(93,93,93);font-family:Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;Bautista highlights the possible perils of the opening laps on Sunday:
<p style="color:rgb(93,93,93);font-family:Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;“We’ll try to make a good start and then be careful on the first lap because, with the cold air here, the tyres need a few laps to build up temperature, so it’s about building up temperature at the beginning of the race and then finding a rhythm.”


 


So that's 8th or 9th at the first corner then, Alvaro?

Same thing as when  the Rossi nut swingers announce he  has 106 wins and nine titles. They never seperate them in class, leading the band wagon bops tro beleive he accomplished all of that in Moto Gp

These are the same people that buy Ducatis because Hodor rides one, and buy Tissots cause they make a Hodor edition.....so not fanatics just idiots.....
 
AB will be on the inside in turn one starting 3P.  Rossi will be outside AB turn one 4P start.


Blind corner - focus ahead and not outside - maybe repeat of earlier event this year in the


first corner???????? Just thinking along with my keyboard

T1, the kink at the crest of the hill, isn't nearly as bad as the long, wide T2. Combine the many legitimate lines around the double-apex, and difficulty in judging one's first lap braking point, and you have trouble.  IMO, if Torpista is to strike this weekend, T2 will be his most likely hunting ground.


 


A hopeless Banzai up the inside of the 'Screw would not surprise either.
 
Definitely looking forward to some AB fireworks on the first lap.


 


Love that AB for the excitement he brings to a race start


 


Go AB go go go     (imitation of bop fan)
