It could be argued that everyone competing in the Marquez era has bad luck.

Sure all you do is type mottogpmatter.com into the search bar. Click on the first result sign up and never come back. Bam ignored. Works like a charm ask pieman.

Its a joke. Furiosa just for the record I'm joking. Don't try to turn that on me B. No one should ever go to motogpdontmatter.com. Or is that what we should rename this site?

I can't argue that. It seems there is a line drawn in the sand on the forum right now. My jokes vs rants are obvious. My rants involve 75% more ..... and ..... than my joking posts.

The forum is certainly at its lowest point. This thread should be pinned, required reading for all new and returning members, as it has quite neatly sussed out the particular members that are responsible for delivering the worst elements of the current forum status. It should be noted, the same few individuals that defended the repugnant preference of one prominent rider's death for another, were the same supporting the flippant normalization of racial slurs, not a coincidence! Worst still, those of us pointing out the forum has lost its way are mocked and targeted by these exact same individuals.

If you paid attention to the thread then you'd know that despite it being titled 'Zarco' it was merely a stupid rant by some cockwomble and not much to do with racing at all.

I completely agree - Rossi has always been a ...., however now he is a hypocritical ...., accusing Marquez of doing exactly what he did when he was younger.

He is also what we would call in the UK... a "Mardy ....". Whine whine... Marquez should have more respect and let me win... whine whine...

The sooner this gyppo retires the better Motogp will be for it.

I'd say that distinction goes to Randy Mamola, 4 time runner-up. Sure Pedro has had some bad luck, but 13 seasons of bad luck? Which of the 4 runners-up years was Randy Mamola on the top tier motorcycle of his tenure? That's the difference my friend, even outside the bad luck years of Pedrosa, he has always been on a contending machine. Anyway, he's got probably one more year. I will say this for Pedro, his comeback from a broken wrist is praiseworthy. And I'll add, I think the he was the most detrimentally effected by Michelin's development. Now that the tires have stabilized (sorta, not quite for my taste) he is able to get heat into the tires. But he was a far more comfortable performer during his Bstone era.

Why did you just destroy this perfectly good thread with a Pedrosa take.

Pedrosa’s entry into GP was predicated on the mass centralization theory Honda used to engineer and design the 07 Pedrocycle.
Although they continued to develop that theory, the radical design they built for Pedrosa was shortly scrapped. Very shortly.
One of the variables of the theory is they needed as little moving ballast as possible. Translation, they needed a midget.
Prior to the implementation of the Pedrocycle theory, there is a strong likelihood that a rider Pedrosa’s size ( which was and still is small for a GP pedigree) would have been relegated to the support classes without ever being promoted. Or if so, than maybe some satellite team may take a shot, but most likely never a factory team.

It is generally accepted knowledge that Pedrosa’s size is an impediment to generating heat into the tires. What’s puzzling is how A and B are never connected.
A-Dani’s size
B- Resulting effects of size have determined that it is an untenable variable for success on a modern 1000cc GP bike.

When analyzed from this perspective, the correct perspective, we are looking at an obvious conclusion that is never addressed. Dani Pedrosa’s diminutive size renders him to be insufficiently outfitted to ride a MotoGp bike.

The intangible that he has bad luck, has no relevance when justifying his failures.
This supposed bad luck factor has only once, taken him out of a competitive position, which I wouldn’t consider bad luck since it was his own error, in a rain race.
Even if Pedrosa never had this bad luck he rarely showed the acumen needed to win. He always sits behind the bike in front of him, and gets a tow the entire race.
His only bad luck is his genetics.

Anyone that has watched an NFL draft, has seen that the selection of athletes has become a science, that breaks down every physical, emotional, psychological, sociological and intellectual trait of the the draftees.
They have determined exactly what qualities are needed for a possibility of success down to everything but hair color.
I’m sure most sports have similar processes.
Everyone knows someone who was once a prospect at a professional level but didn’t make it due to a physical trait that held them back.

This is why you don’t see soccer goalies with short arms, basketball or baseball players under 5’10”, gymnasts over 5’3”, .... stars with 3” dicks etc etc.
They are incapable of success on a sustainable level.
Sure there are the occasional Hollywood script darlings that flashed in the pan but that is an diminutive percentile.

Pedrosa’s career was predicated on an engineering theory that was a failure, and he has continued to fail long after it was scrapped.
It must not be viewed as tragically lost by bad luck and missed opportunities. It was lost due to physical insufficiency.
This excuse that the tires are the problem is invalid. The tires are fine by ridden by someone with proper proportion.

Dani Pedrosa was and never will be cut out to ride a GP bike.

Interesting post.

I reckon, more than anything, his bad luck is that he lives in a control tyre era. When Michelin or Bridgestone made tyres more tailored to suit their top riders (e.g. 2006-2008), he was much more competitive.
