[Zerox]

Come on Luthi!

 

[Kurosaki]

Flossi 1st win yet?

 

[TheNibbler]

Hopper will be in the paddock.
Herve implies cal is a whiny biatch.

 

[kevin 714]

Cal IS a Whiney bitch

 

[Tharkûn]

Chance of rain

0% Friday
60% Saturday
20% Sunday

 

[cencalballer]

Hold on now. Cal is not a whiney bitch. He is a whiney littel bitch that needs to shut the fuck up and realize that results matter more than his god damn opinions on how good he is compared to the others.

Really like the meanwhile in FRance photo. MAde me laugh.

My predicitons: Redding leaves with the title Lead, as does Dani or Jorge, and Luis or MAck crash this round.

 

[kevin 714]

I almost hope it rains just to see how mm does on a motogp bike in the wet

Rossi needs to have a good showing here. I'm not saying he needs to win but a podium has to be the goal.

 

[telly]

Don't yamahas go well here??(like that means anything)

I expect Rossi will do good here.

 

[TheNibbler]

The goes well theories are nonsense. They used to call it Honda track since Honda was good with acceleration at stop and go. magnetti marelli wins

 

[kelsodeez]

i have finals next week, so my only free time will be dedicated to watching gp racing and posting in this thread.

 

[Parx400]

Rossi will never win another race. Deal with it.

 

[clutchslip]

Rossi will never win another race. Deal with it.

Sacrilege! :shame I still have $100 with Kevin that says he will never win another race. I made that bet before Stoner retired, but I am still comfortable with it, unless the Spanish Armada sinks itself in one big pile-up going into some turn one at a start.

Herve Pncharal interview
Informative interview. If Tech 3 doesn't re-sign with Yamaha, that would be huge news and change MotoGP significantly.

I understand that being a "factory" rider carries more prestige and money, but haven't these guys noticed that Tech Three bikes are faster than the Ducatis? Cal may have blown it by not signing two years. I thought Tech Three made that choice, but I guess Cal is in lala land.

Valentino does not always use the same chassis as Jorge; a chassis can be better or worse to handle depending on the individual feelings of each rider. So technically speaking, for me, the situation Cal finds himself in is very good and he is very much considered a factory rider of the Yamaha Motor Corporation.

I am currently in talks with Yamaha to renew the support contract, because the current deal between Tech 3 and Yamaha will expire in late 2013.

[Cal] told me Ducati would be his priority if he had the opportunity, just as Andrea (Dovizioso) did, because they both wanted to be full factory riders. Ducati chose Andrea and Cal ended up staying with us, but he had been ready to go in mid-2012 and so only renewed his deal with us for a year in order to maintain the opportunity of being on the rider market for 2013, to try and become a factory rider which would be a dream for him. Had he signed for two years, he would not be in this situation now.

 

[GreenHornet]

^oh snap. Sounds like Cal's a goner after this year.

 

[Kurosaki]

facepalm

 

[Zerox]

Don't yamahas go well here??(like that means anything)

Honda has won something like 12 out of the last 14 races. Which tracks are good for Yamaha? :laughing

 

[telly]

Eh got it backwards lol. I thought it was a Yamaha track. But they also said Jerez was a Yamaha track and Honda dominated. So I guess it really doesn't matter anyways.

 

[Variable]

Rossi will never win another race. Deal with it.

Dear Parx,

Blasphemy!!!

Sincerely,

Rossi :leghump er

 

[kevin 714]

a reminder that no spies this round, and pirro riding his bike (his bike, not the lab bike he rode last round)

I also wonder how that plays into the rules. pirro is scheduled to ride the maxiumum amount of wild cards, but will now also be a replacement rider. its odd that he will be using two different engine allocations. this weekend he will be using bens, which doesnt play into his wild card I guess.
