Motogp Tomorrow **Spoiler alert**

Cmon Dani . Win one more and you are Honda's winningest MotoGP rider ever! You can do it (broken wrist and all) ! PS watch out for Zarco early in the race...
 
Good for Cal. Seems like the Hondas are in good shape tomorrow but anything can happen.
 
I’ve been for a good long ride today and I’m not sure I can stay awake to watch it. Have to record it, I guess. Should be a good race. How long before Zarco wins one, I wonder?
 
He'd better do it before he becomes a KTM rider lol
 
No. If anyone, probably Lorenzo since he cut into the inside rather suddenly. But, honestly, from his vantage point, he couldn't see that Dani already had the inside. From the field of view Dani had, the inside was also the safest line since it appeared that Dovi and Lorenzo were going to mix it up outside.

Just three guys pushing really hard, really close together, and they crashed. Racing stuff.

Now Zarco is runner up! That's interesting. Maybe now Yamaha will give his team some help instead of walking into his garage and taking everything to figure out how he succeeds.
 
Thread starter
After watching the replay I think it was just bad luck. Things happen in racing and I'm just glad they all walked away; Dani especially, still healing from surgery, he took a very hard hit on the track.
 
always glad you guys bring this up as i never keep up with motogp / no cable = [ political reasons ]
glad Honda won and will stream the race now :thumbsup:

Was it Pedrosa's fault in the crash ?

No, he was an innocent victim, once again. Dovi and Lorenzo went wide leaving an opening underneath. Pedrosa saw the opening and shot into it. Lorenzo cut back down to the inside taking out Pedrosa which pushed Lorenzo wide again, taking out Dovi. If I were to put blame on anyone's shoulders it would be Lorenzo, but it's a really tough call, most likely a racing incident and just bad luck for everyone.

Pedrosa would most likely be about 15 points back be in 3rd or 4th in the standings now if not for being a human billiard ball this year. Too bad, probably his last season on the Repsol Honda if you are to believe the rumors.

No need of cable, you can go on MotoGP™ World Championship | Calendar | Results | Live Streaming and buy a videopass to watch over the internet.
I bought the one for World SBK, totally worth the money. There's so much fight in World SBK and World SSP categories :beerchug:

WorldSBK | Official Home of the Superbike World Championship
 
Yeah, rotten luck for Pedrosa and Dovizioso. But what a great Marquez performance. When he should have been coasting to the finish he put in his best lap time.
 
I nearly soiled myself when Marc skidded through that gravel patch. He just did the usual flat track slide like it was no big deal.

I guess Karma is a cuss..

When he makes a mistake and costs someone else, it’s just racing.. When someone else does it to him, it’s “oh noes”

LOL it's been 13 years..let it go already.

Racing incident then, racing incident now.
 
Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki on the podium at Jerez. Amazing performance by Marquez. Zarco was what, five seconds back??!! But he avoided the big crash. I like the way Zarco rides. He seems to know exactly how much speed to carry into corners and just how much grip is left on the tires. He rides intelligently. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to watch Marquez's aggressiveness and raw talent. I appreciate watching Rossi's veteran problem-solving and calculated risk-taking. Watching Zarco--I keep thinking, "Man, I wanna know how he does that." Especially on a Yamaha ;)

Maybe if his attitude changes... To me he’s the modern day Max Biaggi..

I find it hilarious that he’s one of the most winningest riders, but can never win a championship. Hes finished 2nd how many times now? He’s got the talent, as when he wins it’s usually by a comfortable margin. It’s just when he has to dice it up, it’s “no bueno”
 
He's recognized as one of the most well respected, nicest, quietest, talented guys on the circuit by everyone. Clean rider. Probably why he has never won a premier class championship.He's not aggressive enough. He has won 3 World Championships (1) 125 and (2) 250. He's also had the misfortune of having to race against Rossi, Stoner and Marquez in the premier class during his career., some of the most talented guys to ever throw a leg over a racing motorcycle with what 17 championships between them? There are a whole lot of very talented motorcycle racers that haven't won premier class championships racing against those three (Hayden once and Lorenzo twice.. that's it, I think). BTW in 2002 when he was 125 champion, the next years champion was Andrea Dovisioso who has also not won a premier class championship.

Chances are if he had not crashed twice this year, once caused by Zarco and once caused by Lorenzo, he would have at least 2 thirds ( assuming Dovi would have got past him into second at Jerez) and 2 sevenths in four races, would have at least 50 points and would at least be tied with Vinales for third in the championship, instead of in 11 th.

He has won GP races in 16 seasons straight, 12 of those years in the premier class, and if he wins a race this year he will have won more GP's than any other Honda rider, and has the 7th most Grand Prix wins in the history of the sport. Not bad for a guy 5'2 112# deemed too small to be a premier class MotoGP racer. If Dani has one drawback it's that he is pretty fragile. Aren't many seasons he gets to run all the races on the calendar due to an injury. His chances of winning a WC in the premier class are basically over, his best years are behind him. STill, he has had one heck of a career racing very fast motorcycles.
