We all just love how nuanced and relevant your humor is. Really, keep it up. We just never get tired of laughing at you.

DAMN!

Did anyone hear Zarco in the press conference? They asked him about riding standards on track , specifically Marc's penalty in Argentina and he said:

"If we go back to Malaysia 2015. Rossi kicked Marquez off the bike, but he got no penalty and because of politics he was given a 'penalty' to go to the back of the grid, which wasn't really a penalty because he was always going to finish 4th"

Watch for Valeban backlash coming his way. :unsure:

BTW, has anyone considered that by having an older chassis that Zarco has a small advantage in that he does not have to work as hard at dialing in suspension settings for any given track as long as track conditions have not substantially deteriorated?

Mike. You don’t see the truth behind the moniker. Look around. Almost noone here can go more than 3 posts without saying the word Bopper or Rossi. The board is cluttered up with a dozen threads saying the same .... over and over.
Does anyone realize this rider their obsessed with, currently sits in 8th place and is most likely not going to contend for the championship.
A British rider is on top for the first time in ages and there’s absolutely no mention of it.
Im not calling you out, because I know your angle on this and how you like to engage in the debate, but the likes of Barry Keshav 22 and their ever growing army of syncopants, do nothing but sit in front of the computer all day and type bopper, bopper, bopper, rossi, rossi,rossi. 22 is so obsessed, he has an anti rossi avatar and signature. I don’t know what happened to Barry, he used to be a little funny, now he’s just little Walter, fellating Kancer at every opportunity.
I haven’t read the forum in weeks because of this and now when I return its even worse. Everyone’s claiming to be a true race fan but how can someone be a fan if they only enjoy watching to see if one rider fails.
I don’t particularly like Rossi or Cal but Im actually pulling for Cal (and Jack) because it’s a great story and it throws a wrench in the works.
Im not going to let my stupid couch surfer opinions get in the way of enjoying a great championship.

Apparently the pledge was to engage with you more.

Only over the internet, of course.

But, hypothetically speaking, if you knew nothing about racing and Cal, then turned on the TV to catch his post-race interview, there is a chance that you might not peg his nationality due to his strange-European accent that he uses.
I am only making light, off course, but it was great to see the variety amongst the top 4 in Argentina, both in terms of riders and manufacturers.

Thanks Keshav, I see he's still mouthing the same platitudes.

I still would like to know what Zarco meant when he said: this year is a little better, they gave me 500 more RPM. Has his bike same RPM now as factory bikes or he is still held back somewhat by Yamaha?

Good point, mate. I missed that. My understanding was that his bike was down 500rpm on the factory last year. Whether or not that has given him parity or if they have just maintained a gap by giving the same to the factory boys, I don't know.

Tech 3 bikes are always rev restricted compared to the factory bike from the previous year. Zarco got 500 more revs this year and also the 2018 aero package (Syahrin got last year’s package ), but it is still down on revs compared to the 2017 Movistar bikes.

No simon crafar down in pit lane this weekend.
This round is already delivering.

He called it the Vatican bike because of so many Revs going down

I have been one of Pedrosa's biggest detractor, credit where credit is do: kudos to Dani, respect.

There's only room for one Lazarus of Biblical proportions around here...move along, nothing to see here.

If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks.

Big respect to Dani.
Yes he has broken pretty easily, but that's not his fault.
Due to arm pump correctional surgery,he has no muscle sheath in one of his forearms, (as I understand it, but I'm open to correction) and his lack of weight has meant that he struggles to keep heat in the front with the new Michelins. But he has won races in every season since being in the big class.
He is an undeniable talent and whilst he may never win the title, if you operate a 2 man factory team with a clear number 1 rider, when he's healthy, Dani is as good a number 2 man as you could get.

Huge effort from Dani to be riding this weekend. I imagine it's pretty damn painful to ride with a broken wrist.

"Rossi kicked Marc no penalty..."
New technician for TechTwat?

The track is so ....... dirty.
Marquez is a million miles in front but it probably means nothing because track conditions will be changing for every session.
