Hahaha, He has defiantly got the biggest balls in the MotoGP paddock, both on and off the track.
That was shocking!!!

Had no idea MM did this. Thank you for sharing.
Imagine being at a circuit with the WC handing out adivce at that age.
(Even if my cynical side says: Rich sons of Indonesian oligarchs...)
Honestly, I think this is just Cal being political and trying to get more support, now that he is winning. He said the same things when he was on the Tech 3 Yamaha. He wanted more factory support. He's a satellite rider, of course he wants more support. When he decided to leave Ducati, I mentioned on another forum that I wonder when he would start clamoring for more factory support again. Well, here we are.
I think he has rather adequate grounds for asking for more support now, particularly with Dani out. He certainly wouldn't want to be put on an actual HRC bike for the last 2 rounds given how well the new chassis which the factory guys rejected is working for him.
Yeah he probably couldn't anyway right? What with him being sponsored by Monster, and HRC being backed by Red Bull.
I feel kinda bad for Barbera actually. Was hoping he'd do well on the Factory Ducati.
Agree. I was just making the point that I think Cal was using it as a platform to lobby for more help rather than he has a poor relationship with Honda.

I would have thought Honda would have taken Ducati's approach and bumped up Miller to the Repsol bike and got a fill in rider for VDS. He is contracted to HRC after all, they obviously have their reasons I guess.
I think he would have got more out of the Repsol bike than Hayden did at PI.

He's come back from injury so many times you have to give him credit for not giving up. I hope he returns stronger and gets back to winning next year.

Santa Cruz, Cal
Unfortunately, Oxley brought his politics into the piece and insulted Trump supporters. Oh, and he thinks football players run 20 mph or some nonsense. Too bad that he messed-up his otherwise good piece.
You are taking the same old bitchy - whiny comments from Critchlow and turning them into fact. This guy has complained about support for YEARS! He is annoying as hell. And just when he could have added to his support and his team's support, he decides to be a victim - again. Oh, god, no wonder he and Rossi seem to get along these days. But, if they were team mates, all hell of the bull would ensue, and everyone would be a victim and screechy cat.
You also forgot that now as he is winning, many people accept that which he says and are saying how refreshing it is to have a person who peaks the truth/their mind with no sanitation.

And a few years before that ..................
Riders speaking 'their mind' was considered wholly different
Yes it has Shaunna and apparently they have found Aoyama so he is racing at Sepang (confirmed)

He does make sense sometimes...
The interview is from Gazzetta, but it is published in English on motogp.com.

I watched the press conference today, I was waiting for the questions to come about the incident at Sepang in 2015. Finally it got asked, Marc answered first with a short vague answer while Rossi looked very serious. Rossi's response was very to quick "I agree with Marc" trying to move on from the uncomfortable topic i assume.
Another question got asked to VR about it to which he had a very serious face of disapproval and then gave a one word response. He was sitting next to Marc and seemed very uncomfortable and talking to Cal for most of the interview.

So he was instructed not to continue with the paranoia and he didn't like it. Ha ha, like a spoiled kid when parents don't give him candy. He is also probably tired since it is third week on the move...you know...since he is experienced and stuff :unsure:
