Let's all hope, for the sake of Jorge's psyche, that the weather will be consistent at Jerez...

IMHO Jorge will have a tough time competing for a championship on any manufacturer's bike unless he overcomes this phobia/fault.

Longterm weather is encouraging!!

Can I just throw in that he may struggle whilst we have Michelins as his issues have definitely aligned to the return to the french manufacturer, even before it rains

Very true. But it is the same for all, and entering the third season on Bibs you would imagine a MotoGP championship-winning rider would be able to adapt...

...or is Jorge a one trick (Yamaha/cornerspeed) pony?

Hope springs eternal!!

PS's wealth of knowledge and diversity of views should be its defining quality not the ....-show of perpetual mud-flinging.

But, I fear we live in a world where bygones will never be bygones again and winning the argument trumps comprehension of the issues.

Anyway, I AM really interested in seeing what the first few European rounds will tell us about the rest of the season!!

I have noticed no-one (yet) is bitching about tyres this season... has Michelin (finally) got it right? (Or have the teams finally adjusted to the product?)

■■■-------see Cal Cunthole bitching about tires last even. (Qual).

Will Jorge whither away or will he be reborn unto another team?

■■■-------I'm hoping whither away. He gas been acting like a .... with Dovi and embarrassed Ducati. If he were to apologize, be humble and acknowledge his twatfulness I'd consider rooting for him again. I suspect he'll be on a Suzuki next year, where he'll be a regular top 7.

Will Marc be as dominating as it appears he could be?

■■■---------in his words "i have extra motivation"

Will the European rounds show Dovi in a better place than the away races? (Yes, I am aware of where he stands ATM)

■■■--------- Yes. The Ducati is the underdog, as usual, but we should see more competitive form for the podium. Desmo Dovi is racing in a season where ArgentiValengina has awoken the beast named Marc.

How many times will Cal crash? How many times will Cal claim he was on race-winning pace after he crashes?

■■■--------- Short answer: "don't doubt him", he will definitely crash a lot. Of course nobody will ever say his crashing is dangerous or a hazard to others, and expect Hack Oxley to write up another spin piece to magically explain away all that crashing as a positive attribute of tenacity. Of course Pedrosa might disagree. How much crashing is too much? Not enough.

Will Yamaha allow Zarco to win a race?

■■■---------- No. (Valengina Rossi, Dim Jarvis)

Who will be #1 at Suzuki come November? (not in terms of a ride next season, just Rins v AI)


■■■-------- now that's a good question. Rins. Iannone is warming Lorenzo's seat. I think Iannone will have a few good performances, but the man is dead man walking.

Can Syahrin master the (old) M1 in his fairy tail season?

■■■---------- No. Yamaha have all but turned off the lights on the project.


How .... are KTM and Aprillia gonna be over the season?


■■■--------utter ......


Where is the tiny captain gonna end up?

■■■------- Yacht Master Pedro (I've warmed up to him after Austin actually ) will stay at HRC for another year until they find a Zarco that won't turn down an offer he can't refuse. Anybody but Buttflow good Lord! Pedrosa's career was saved by Stoner's retirement, then again by Zarco's rejection. He will keep his seat until another guy impresses HRC. I thought and hoped it would be Zarco, he's ...... off to KTM, fat check for Q1. Maybe Morbidelli? Nah.

So much to look forward to!!

Folger to HRC... Dani to Ducati.

Folger finishes 2nd overall in 2019. Dani languishes in 8th overall.

Interesting.

Dani and the Ducati shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence lol. Oops I just did it :lol:
Will Folger come back at all? Not sure if there's room anywhere for him.
 
Folger goes back to moto2 or maybe WSB. It’s not easy to find your way back to motogp if you leave before proving yourself.

Also, curryfart is hereby renamed as Kurryfart. As you were.

Totally agree that he should be able to adapt but seriously suspect that had he stayed at Yamaha he would well have adapted as he knew the bike, but new bike whilst not having confidence in his hoops may well lead to bigger issues within himself.

Got it. Typical Cal. Sometimes reminds me of someone else... cannot quite place who...

"I was doing fantastic. Everybody knows I was going great. It was beautiful. Then the lyin' Frenchies gave me some ..... I don't know them. I have never spoken to them. Maybe my team manager knows them. But what a lot of people didn't know was they call it a tyre lottery. Eh? Did you know that? A freaking LOTTERY for tyres. Who knew? Anyway, I just want to leave you with this though: I am a stable genius of a rider. No one is more stable than me. I have a doctor's note to prove it."

I'm only interested in a tally between Kesh and myself. I have no problem presenting these challenges because the answer is obvious. It's the same when I offered Kesh money to send a charity if he'd just never respond or contact me. He refused, he has never agreed or kept his word, and you MickD are privy to this fact.

You say you'll never know him
He's an unnatural man
He doesn't want your pleasure
He wants as no one can
He wants to know the names of
All those he's better than

Says the ever sulking vendetta stricken wounded whiner who is still butt hurt about a guy who made you look continually stupid years ago. You betrayed yourself bringing up Rog as you have, "get over it". Your previous take was something to the effect about petty name calling. Have you seen the last 50 posts you've made chasing your tail trying to be clever, would you like me to quote all the 'petty name calling' replies you've been chasing Bitch Machine? I don't normally interactive with you, I've gone years without quoting a single post of yours, frankly you hardly ever say anything insightful, but you've given me occasion to reply. As I said before, you've aligned yourself with Kancer over a years ago common boogeyman. You're still sulking Bitch Machine, and the feelings of inadequacy that every member who comes along and turns your ...... world into a tizzy reminds you of the guy that put you to shame. Let me quote you, get over it Bitch Machine.

Now run along, I'm sure there's a synn post you gotta chase Mr. Get Over it.

3,2,1 countdown to your next feeble disconnected awkward reply.

In your fevered imagination. Barry kept his sense of humor throughout the whole incredibly mean-spirited barnyard fiasco. That was one of the worst examples of a handful of goons gathering together to create a hostile environment that I've ever witnessed.

Again - take your own advice. And BTW the expression is - People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
