Not a bad race, although I'm not a fan of silver stone at all, it seems disjointed. Bring back donnignton.

Jorge is the better rider right now, simple. The Hondas are still extremely quick and consistent, Jorge is just better and the Yamaha is better than last year.

A lot of talk about rubber these days, as I've been saying for years BS is the biggest problem in the sport today and the sole tyre reg needs to removed, the rookie rule vanished pretty quick, hopefully there will now be enough noise fromHonda to boot the control rubber too.

Ducati really are in the ...., and after reading what they are rolling out for Laguna, it's goodbye Rossi-probably Hayden too. Who in their right mind would want to ride one in Motogp now.

Rossi on San Carlo/Fiat/Monster Factory Honda, announcement to come before the summer break

Yep things are looking bad for Ducati if the bike's performance has anything to do with his signing another contract he will probably be looking for another ride. Maybe Nicky will finally get his chance but I have no confidence in Ducati ever delivering a decent package. If Rossi does end up leaving I wonder how many of their sponsors will also pull the plug on them. I don't know what his relationship is with Fiat but I'd much rather see them spending money on GP than the Jlo(singer) and charlie sheen commercials they're playing in the US.

Yamaha should really try and break the bank again to sign Marquez just to piss Honda, Repsol and Ezy off. Love to see that.....

Breaking news. Rookie rule relaxed. Marquez signs for Yamaha Hahaha

ps i forgot to say the Cripple (Go Cal) that beat Haydumb and Tossi started last and had to come through the field to do it

after Doctors advised him not to put any pressure on the ankle for 6-8 weeks

Duc are ok the new Engine shake down will be done by Guareschi who will hand it to Dumb n Dumber Haydumb and Tossi and tell them to get on with it

Tossi said yesterday Ducs aim is for a competitive bike he didnt say what year that will be

Dumb and dumber... Haha

I feel sorry for Rossi. He looked terrible. It looked like Hayden was having a real go for the first 10 laps or so, but Rossi was just riding around, and struggling to get past the Pramac bike, so not to be last of the prototypes. He looked defeated.

To me, they are doing something very wrong on the Rossi side of the Ducati garage. This has gotta be beating down his motivation.

basspete · Jun 18, 2012

Rossi was pushing hard in practice and qualifying, but that thing was trying to kill them. Him and Hayden's identical crashes and Rossi going straight on at Club. The thing is a pig, if it was a horse it would have been shot long ago. Rossi's move there was pure vanity, and has damaged his career, possibly terminally. Ducati clearly do not have the resources and knowledge to develop the bike, every change they make just moves the problem somewhere else on the bike. It wouldn't matter who was riding it this season, it is not capable of winning. As a fan of Rossi. And Jorge, I'd have loved to see that team stay together, the 2 greatest riders of the last 10 years in the garage. But hey ho, Rossi ...... up royally, here's hoping he gets onto a proper motorbike next year, or his career is going to fizzle out in. A pretty undignified manner. I've said it before, he shat in his own nest big time.

Thought the race was ok, good mini battle between Jorge and Casey, shame it didnt last very long though!

Jorge is in another league at the moment, i honestly thought at the start of the season that Casey was going to trounce every one of them but it seems that the Honda really does have issues...

Cal is a ....... hero, he had better be on Spies bike next year...

Rossi is a bit of a mystery to me, id of thought he would have gelled with the track by race day, his pace was a joke though. Hayden lapped under a tenth off Jorge on the same bike, i just dont get it.

Marc Marquez the future superstar of MotoGP? Maybe that's according to Honda and Ezpeleta...

He already gets a superstar treatment but hey, Redding and Iannone (and Espargaro, and Luthi) can beat him in Moto2, even though he is on the fastest bike, and will chase him in MotoGP too.

Of all these Moto2 riders, the one I'm most curious to see in MotoGP is Scott Redding. He's penalized now in the cadet class by his size and weight, he needs a more powerful bike.

A Stirling ride. From the back of the grid to 6th and running the same lap times towards the end as Lorenzo. All on a satellite bike and with a busted ankle. Amazing stuff. The only Englishman disappointed with that result was Cal himself:lol:

Straight to the chase, the last time Jorge had a fully fit season he walked it. If Casey keeps getting beat he will be back in Aus crying over spilt milk. He tried to make a break, got hunted down by Jorge, and for much of the race was struggling to stay ahead of Pedrosa. Normal service is resumed. We watched the marshalls sweeping up various watch parts from around the track today. Boo hoo, he wlll be remembered for running away coz he defend his title. Again.

Bye bye Freddie, it's been a laugh.

Yes stoner looks like retiring with a record similar to barry sheene's or the aforementioned freddie spencer. How terrible. I don't know how he will live with himself.

Jorge could well end up being rated your boy rossi's superior, and if he does all power to him.

I called this back in 2008. I said your all looking at the next multi champ and got flamed by the neo boppers for it . Oh the irony :lol;

Edit:-

when i say multi im not meaning the keshav and povol definition of multi being 2. Im talking in as many or more than rossi.

I meant to add if he doesn't he will still have had a fantastic career, which it is entirely possible to do without being as good or better than rossi, and again if he retired at the end of this season all power to him. You and basspete seem to reply to what you would like people to have said or thought. I am surprised either of you can spell irony, and won't ask either of you to define it.

Well i will define Irony in the powerslide neo bopper context.

In 08 i say Lorenzo will be the next Rossi. I get flamed by stoner fans still buzzing from 07.

2012 stoner is not just retiring but is losing the championship. Neo boppers worried Rossi may go back to HRC or YAM no are quite happy to call Lorenzo the "next coming".

Your whole thought processes regarding motogp solely revolves around Stoner or who's beating Rossi. Any post that uncovers this attitude provokes a spiteful response like above.

Redding to Pramac Ducati next year

if there is a pramac ducati.

if they're smart cardion will get a top crt for half the price of a duc and pramac could go back to 2 bikes if they went that route.

i mean how can you justify spending double if you're not much faster, and the gap between prototypes and crts is going to become smaller until next season

If Jorge goes on to beat Vale's record then good on him. Like Rog I've been a fan of Jorge since his 250 days. Unlike stoner fans, a lot of Rossi fans have been following go a long time, and have seen many greats come and go. My life does not revolve around Rossi, I'm a fan of Crutchlow, Lorenzo, Elias and Redding. You guys just go for the Rossi thing because no matter how you dress it up, Stoner will never have the career of the likes of Vale. Said it before a fully fit Jorge has the beating of stoner. If you are happy with spencer comparisons, that's cool, some of us were around when he became a total joke with half arsed comebacks that achieved nothing but wasting the time and money of teams. Though to be honest, in his prime he achieved so much more than casey ever did.
