I have put that lowlife on ignore a few weeks ago, 90% of his posts are just pointless schoolyard insults and the other 10% are 'below the belt' vile insults that reflect just what a gutless piece off human garbage he is. Either way he just clogs up threads with personal insults.
He wouldnt have the guts to say many, if any of his vile insults to the recipients face in person, nothing but a coward keyboard warrior.
Putting him on ignore is the right thing to do, the more you mix with .... the more you end up smelling. Best to not even bring him up, he really isn't even worth the time and thought.

I am only pissed off that this Yamaha situation is burning out a raw talent like Vinales.
I think he is not the phenom that many believed he was at the beginning of 2017, but damn it he is not a rider that should struggle to get in the top10.

I agree, I feel for Maverick. He moved from Suzuki to Yamaha to be on a better bike not one that's worse. Yamaha seem very conservative with their upgrades and updated bikes each year compared to the others. Since the introduction of unified electronics, software, new control tyres and aero restrictions Honda have changed to a cross plane crank and reversed the crankshaft rotation to help deal with their issues.
I get the impression that Yamaha riders have felt that their engineers hadn't been doing enough for some time. I remember Rossi talking to the media directly after the the 2017 Valencia test and straight up saying that he wasn't happy and that they didn't do enough with the bike. I think this hesitation to make bold changes to keep up with the competition has now come to a head. With all the embarrassment Yamaha have worn lately id imagine next years bike will be a huge improvement or some senior members of management will be looking for new jobs.

Yeah,after month of clashing with the prick i put him and his lapdog rcv on ignore last week,he's about due for a change of name again soon anyway,no doubt his next persona will also be 10% body fat, able to snap his detractors like twigs and hate anyone who doesn't worship a certain has been Italian.
I bet he wishes he'd stayed with Suzuki now,it looked like a good move at the time to hop onto Lorenzo's bike but it's turned into a nightmare for Vinales.

Look I dont really have a problem with anybody else on this forum, its always been a good place to get the latest gossip on whats happening in GP and a place that encourages healthy debate. I enjoy reading other people opinions and perspective on racing topics.
I just have zero respect for idiots who think its acceptable to make jokes about peoples deceased loved ones. Just a troll with some serious psychological impairment.

Didn't Mav re-sign with Yamaha again, knowing you are there for the long haul in the current climate wouldnt be easy... Tech 3 got fed up being served old versions of .... bikes and you cant really blame Herve. The KTM may not be a better bike now/or even next year but at least they're factory have deep pockets and aren't afraid to try new things and have a go. Yamaha seem so conservative that to even change the bikes paint scheme too dramatically would make them nervous.

Please don't quote him, it only encourages him.
Tech 3 have consistently had the best satellite bike on the grid, if not this year.
Bradley Smith finished 6th on the Tech3 in 2015 (ask yourself where he is finishing on the factory KTM...), Zarco finished 6th in 2017 (as a rookie), Colin finished 5th in 2009, Spies finished 6th on a full factory bike in 2010, Dovi was 4th in 2012, Cal was 5th in 2013, Pol was 6th in 2014...
From where I'm standing, those results are the best for any satellite team on the grid, and consistently so.

Exactly. Guys like that, negative attention is the same as positive attention. Either way, they get what they want.
Let's be honest though Smith had one decent season on as you said the best sattelite bike on the grid and finished 6th at a time his package was better than Ducatis factory package. All the other guys you mentioned other than Pol had more podiums than him in less time on the bike. 2015 was very different to 2017-2018 now with at least 8 competitive factory machines most weekends. Ducati giving excellent support to their sattelite teams I would think makes it harder for a new factory as well. This year he is still behind Pol who has missed like 4 races and will probably miss most of the remaining season but will probably still finish ahead of Smith.
I thought it was a strange decision for KTM to hire the two guys that almost lost Herve his Monster sponsorship but with Zarco on board next year we will find out if it's the bike that sucks or if it's the riders holding it back.
Agreed - my point was more than the Tech 3 Yamaha has probably the best history of results for a satellite team on the grid (which it seems we agree on).
Zarco is a fantastic signing for KTM. We'll see where the bike is at soon enough.

You're right, in the past the Satellite Yamaha's have been very strong bikes. But up until a couple of years ago it was more or less a two horse race. Before the introduction of unified electronics, software, winglets, Michelin control tyres etc. There was a vast performance deficit between the factory Yamaha's and Honda's when compared to pretty much everything else on the grid. Being on a 'year old' ex factory Yamaha or Honda was a better deal than being on a Factory Ducati but that has all changed.
With the new rules the racing is getting closer and tighter. Watching the Yamaha bikes get worse from 2016 to 2017 to 2018 is no comforting feeling as a Satellite team owner, knowing that your new bike is going to be worse than the one you currently run.

Some comments from Lin Jarvis after Aragon from an Italian article, translated below.

Electronics hardware: same for both.
Calibration: done by factories themselves.
Not to mention a thousand other variables such as geometry, metallurgy, density and mass of individual parts etc etc that could make crucial differences.
But I am sure our armchair experts will know better.
