Oh you boys, why don`t you just enjoy watching good racing like this was, after a long time good battle with many riders, didn`t last the end but yes I liked a lot!

And yes Cal was amazing, sad he couldn`t battle in front.

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.

This 100%. I thought these bikes all used the same engines but MM seems to be able to pass anyone on the straights but few seem to be able to do the same to him. I know he's a little shrimp and probably only weighs 90lbs wet through but his bike definitely looks a lot quicker.

WTF are u guys smoking? Bautista put in a fast lap then it started raining with 10+ minutes to go, when the usual suspects were ramping up to put in their flyers. Have u guys ever watched qual? Gelling with the Honda? Is this ur assessment because he got a pole in this kind of scenario? Who wants to bet me he wont be on the podium (baring crashes from the usual suspects)?

If we have these conditions tomorrow, expect some crashes. And it wont be the tires to blame, it will be the .... tricky conditions.

If your saying Bautista won't be on the podium this season, I'll have a little wager with you Jumks

What ya thinking?



I think some of you guys underestimate alvero's talent.

Expect him to be performing like Marco before the end of the season.

Barring a crash by another prototype, Alvaro will not see the podium this year. Bottle of premium moonshine. Alvaro is no Simonchelli.



I think I estimate Alvaro's talent in the range of a very good midpack rider being helped by riding a excellent bike. I'd rate Alvaro as good as Barbera (which in Motochicks and Wilski's eyes might mean something entirely different.)

to be honest i'm not sure i'd rate sic that much above bautista and barbera.they were quite evenly matched on the same equipment in 250s and even though barbera isn't able to get a quick lap without being towed , i give him credit for getting the most out of that duc.

bautista is on the only honda with showa suspension, i wait to judge him until mid season where i think that shouldn't be an issue because the team will surely have the thing figured out by then

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.

This!



Spies is still disappointing me I hate to say it, even tho 5th is a decent result i guess

I agree. I think Alvaro is as talented as Hayden. A solid mid pack rider but if he is consistent while other's have bad luck he is capable of pulling it off.

I don't entirely disagree with your assessment Migs. Spies is not cutting the mustard. Cal has preformed much better than Ben this year no doubt. Something of a revelation for Cal given the new formula, as he was nowhere last year. Where I would disagree with you, Spies did not come into this season overrated. He came into this season on strong results over two years in GP. That his season this year has not panned out will certainly flirt with this idea of being overrated. I make the distinction with Bautista, who I think is overrated. His Suzuki results were ..... Randy got on to his machine and was as fast straight away. Bautista looks better than he is because hes on a Honda, the best manufacture in GP. No Lorenzo, and Honda are 123 today. But you want to convince me Yamaha is the best?

I disagree Bautista was consistantly the next best behind the other factory bikes except ducati who he beat regularly when he did finish on a POS zooki.

Your just still pissed at him for Valencia last year.

.....Also on Nissen brakes unlike the factory machines, and by choice running a rejected swing arm which Stoner and Pedrosa have already trailed but Alvaro favours



Tellingly he isn't encountering chatter or chewing rear tyres either.



Yeah, Marco and Alvaro were on practically identical machinery in 250's - but I don't recall even Marco ever doing this.....

I'll take that bet!

Edit provided the prototype is in front of Alvaro when it crashes. If its behind the bet stands! You can't have all the odds in your favour
