One of your better rants, and one I happen to agree with entirely.


 


Reading Murder's outright psychopathic 'rationalization' has done a wonderful job of slapping me out of the Kropper trance that has slowly been eroding my grasp on reality (always tenuous at best, I must admit.)  Apart from a few nervous moments when he nearly inflicted an HRC enema up Lorenzo's tailpiece, and discounting the Jerez punt because "That's racing, Jorge.", Marquie has been fairly well behaved this year.  It was easy to be lulled into the false comfort that Marc had matured and was no longer a remorseless ......... Well, needless to say, that illusion has well and truly been blown to hell and beyond. 


 


You want a nickname for the little ......?  How about Hannibal?

Lorenzo's gearbox appears to have failed in FP3


 


I CALLED IT!


happened earlier than I thought though.


 


 


edit: he's going back out but looks a bit... pissed off


 


edit: gearbox didn't fail, but there was definitely some problems.

I don't have much problem with anything MM has done this year. The Lorenzo Jerez thing wasn't all that dangerous, imo.


 


I don't think that there is any way that it can be argued  there was contributory negligence by Willairot in that incident, in the reality with which I am familiar anyway, and being prepared to so argue makes it even worse, again imo.

Wilairot going slowly and staying on the racing line, Marquez comes flying in at record breaking pace and rear ends him, and all the world says Marquez is a madman. Or at least Jumkie does, but I seriously question his sanity.

There is no racing line after the flag. Wilairot and several other were slowing to do practice starts. MM, at the direction of his team, continued a full speed lap AFTER the flag. FAULT: 100% MM   0% RW


 


 


JUM, "<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;Wilairot's career, though at the time had flashes of some brilliance, has not been the same since this crash". 


 


<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;Actually Wilairot retired two races ago. Another younger Thai rider has taken his spot on the Grenisi Moto2 PTT Thai Honda bike and Feem is acting as his 'coach'.

Exactly. I would be interested to hear your explanation to the contrary elitemafia, other than that MM is really good, which is entirely obvious, but in no way excuses the Willairot incident.

Wish You Were Here, Marco!

Qually:


 


MM - Speed freak


JL - Hope the race pace can overcome the freak


VR - Looked comfortable let's see what the race brings


DP - Not too happy, obviously he felt something wasn't right with his bike... maybe they gave him MM's crashed bike!


CC - very good after having to go through Q1


AE - You wanna change teams, dude? WTF!?!?!

I can definitely understand why J-Lo looks so depressed after quali. He puts in faultless laps, there was clearly no more time to be pushed out of that bike, yet Marquez just buries his time. He's just unbelievably quick.


 


Just hope at full race distance something can be done to stop him.

At last!! a tasteful Rossi home race helmet. 


 


This of course owes more to the late Storm Thorgeson than the dreadful Aldo Drudi but it's a nice sentiment for Sic.


 


Actually, off to see Roger Waters right now at Wembley Stadium.

Mick, can you explain the top of the lid to me?

Saw him last year in Sydney. Surprisingly enjoyable since I have never liked "The Wall", although a huge fan of Pink Floyd up to and including "Wish You Were Here". He even had a guy on guitar who could play something like Dave Gilmour, and Roger seemed to be enjoying himself which was good to see.


 


I guess neither Hipgnosis nor Pink Floyd would mind the rather appropriate sentiment as you say.

Ha, I knew there would be at least one (surely more (pov) peeps with this take. Im insane? I'll accept this, as i do have a compulsive flaw. I suppose its better than being stupid though, haha. Did you know that after the flag, the racing line no longer exist? You know why this is a fact? Buddy, I thought you watched the incident. Its on youtube, but this time open your eyes (). When Marc comes through, he actually is tucked under the bubble, as if he is still trying to put in a fast lap (as u describe), then sees a slow rider on the 'inside' (if there was a raceline, this rider was on it), he goes around but didn't see Wilairot outside of this rider. Btw we are talking turn 3 AFTER the flag, not turn 1. Amazing, I mean, what is there to debate if you're not even watching and understanding the same incident. Hey, lets debate whether the moon is made of cheese (I howl at it sometimes...ahoooo).

Edit: Thanks MickD.

This was debated last year. MM and team were stupid. He hasn't done anything stupid since. The horse is dead. If it comes back to life, I'll help you beat it.

Fair enuf Baturro, however this week's revelation of penalty reserected the stark contrast on how some riders are treated, so its fair game to revisit, right? In a sense, that deadhorse came to life, as this is very much a relevant sequel to the incident. Would u agree? Now we have a rider banned for 2 races for doing something half as bad as Marc, showing just how inconsistent the League is and validating those of us who point it out. I didnt write the article on Motomatters, im giving it more attention. Of course those people who dont or wont or cant face the inconsistency (favoritism) of the League ( like the Deal, Povol, and Elitemafia, etc. ) want to dismiss this latest indication (or perhaps its just their limited capacity to understand the world ) and stick their heads in the sand. This little episode is real, it happened, and given my compulsive propensity to ..... about the League's inconsistency is like throwing me a tasty steak.  Ok, perhaps a character flaw of mine, I accept.  However, Not facing it I suppose reenforces their view of the series as: all is fair, no machinates at work, no perspective or context. Theyre the WWE fan equivalent that actually believes the proceedings at face value. Oh but he just got pole, so discussing this must mean I hate him, hate racing, and dismiss the accomplishment. Haha that is who im dealing with, fans like these cant actually perceive the world with complexity.

Your now an even bigger muppet and TD is losing respect.


FFS Marquez had taken the chequered flag!


The same as Willarot!


RW DID WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE! CLOSED THE THROTTLE AND STARTED TO COAST ROUND!


MM just carried on because he had fcuked up earlier and had not had the practise time!


FFS go back and watch the footage again!


MichealM you too and anyone else who agree's RW was in the wrong.


This unavoidable accident ended one motorbike racers career FFS!
