    Is rider effort in the premier class the same as player effort in Major League Sport?

    In the United States, it is common sentiment that college athletes play harder than proballers in the NFL and NBA; and that the NFL and NBA are boring to watch compared to college ball. This is because the college athletes are living off scholarships in hopes they make it to the major leagues...

    Rider Appreciation Thread

    This is a motogp rider appreciation thread. Going first. I always will remember and appreciate Wayne Gardner. He was the reason 500cc was first televised in Australia, in conjunction but often delay from F1 races, which I also loved. Anything with speed. I used to set the VCR recorder if it...

    What makes the Talent of a rider?

    Title says it all. What makes the talent? I say the fantastic 4 (Dani, Marc, Jorge & Casey) all had more natural talent than Rossi and some say the results say otherwise. I think the results don't really explain the full story. Might be a dumb thread but we don't really have much to...

    2019 motogp rider preview

    Valentino Rossi- Father time will continue to slip farther down the order, but his alzhimers will get worse. Danilo Petrucci- congratulations you have leveled up. Sorry your bike is the same and so are your results. Johann Zarco- and the ktm will be the face of mediocracy Fabio...

    Greatest ride of all time from the greatest rider of all time

    Just a little reminder for those who were in diapers (or already in adult diapers) when it happened. Cheerio!

    Marquez: Yamaha lost a really good rider

    We didn't need Marc to tell us this information. But the world champ pretty much says the folks in charge "jarvis & Meregalli" are idiots! But Herve had already mention that........... https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/895525/1/marquez-yamaha-lost-really-good-rider

    Rider rankings 2017

    https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/top-10-motogp-riders-2017-981916/amp/ This should be good, especially with Rossi being ranked way ahead of his teammate, who showed he needed more polish after losing the tires and chassis he dominated pre season and 1/4 of the season on.

    Not sure of the accuracy as I would hve thought Vinales would be on more MotoGP 2017 rider salaries: Who is paid as much as Valentino Rossi? | Other | Sport | Express.co.uk

    Rider reoccurring injuries

    Rather than make a specific thread about Marc-y-Marc., I sought a more general approach to this thread. Although Marquez is the primary reason. Considering that he has dislocated his shoulder several times, I am starting to worry that we could lose one of the best in the game to this...

    MotoGP: 2016 Rider of the Year

    2nd Runner Up: #25 Maverick Viñales When Kevin Schwantz said earlier this year that the Suzuki was a potent weapon and not only a potential race winner but a legitimate, viable factory ride, nobody believed him. Of course, there is always that guy in every group who's all like, "Well I said 5...

    MotoGP 2017 - Team & Rider Changes

    My partner has been really confused with all the musical chairs, rider changes and new teams for 2017, so much so that she actually made a chart to show where everybody is going ... typical school teacher. :happy:

    Honda hints at unchanged rider line-up for 2017

    Honda hints at unchanged rider line-up for 2017 Guess that Vinales to HRC move wasn't as forgone a conclusion at the moment. Probably easier to have MM as a defined #1 with Dani on the other bike. If Vinales comes there, it's not as easy to do this. Plus losing Stoner as a test rider...

    Video of VR kicking rider in 125cc 1997

    Interesting video. What's good about this video is that it establishes his character early on in his career, much in opposition to the claims of Oxley and others. Maybe Journo can tell us about how there was a giant spider on the side of the other rider's bike and VR just wanted to kill it.

    Favourite rider of the 90s

    I was a big fan of MotoGP in the 90s and am only just getting back into it now. I am curious what riders from the 90s were favourites with fans. I always liked Àlex Crivillé, even though he was always second-best to Mick Doohan.

    Number of wins by rider

    On Crash.net there was some Hayden bashing including some guy saying he's only won 3 races when another responded with "That's more than a lot of rider on the grid" so I decided to look into the numbers: Current riders: 85 Valentino Rossi 37 Jorge Lorenzo 26 Dani Pedrosa 21 Marc Marquez...
