In reply to Post #420 Really
Nice to see an Aussie in the mix, instead of the Italians and Spanish. Also Olivero
You must be pleased with Remy G, a future GP star like his dad?

In reply to Post #419 Oh please don't you start on Miller....
They're all saying down here his front end washed out on a tear off and without that he would have won.
Absolute toffee!!

In reply to Post #418 Spot on Jon. Rat boy up to his old tricks again, very dangerous
Great win, another in the mix, felt for Mir, that Suzuki lacks straight line speed, he should have won that last year prior to the restart, good points though and the young lad was third
Strange one the fence, guess it’s to catch flying bikes in a similar scenario to last year, can’t be good enough if somebody runs off into it though, and like you say, today it has created a blind spot after the corner
Good bit of racing though and Miler crashes out again!

In reply to Post #417 Hi Chris,
Savadori has said he did not see the pedrosa incident and knew nothing about it until he hit pedrosa's bike.
I'm pretty sure those airbags and that fence blocked his eyesight.
Congrats to Jorge though
As for Rat boy, if he keeps riding like that either he or another rider will get seriously hurt
Let's see what happens next weekend.

In reply to Post #415 Still not seen a picture of it yet!
On another note, Suzi Perry in a nice little short dress looks hot

In reply to Post #414 Hi Chris,
They've just shown it from another camera angle and it looks like they may have air bags or tyres in front of the fence. I'm not a rider, but the positioning of it just looks dangerous

In reply to Post #413 Flat out straight that Jon, nothing prior to that crash, since then they have had the large air bags in place. A fence can never be right, will have to have a look at that!
Track design that

In reply to Post #412 Hi Chris
They've just shown the corner where that crash happened and the fencing they've put up because of that crash, on first glance that does not look safe at all

In reply to Post #410 As well as age I think the Styrian GP last year finished him off, one very, very, very lucky man that day
One lucky, lucky, lucky man
Same as mentioned, seems like an age since the last race

In reply to Post #410 I think it's overdue tbh, though can't blame him for delaying the inevitable.
Very sad to see the death of Hugo Millan a couple of weeks back.
Can't wait for the next race, seems like its been a age !

In reply to Post #408 It’s not about the nut on the bike it’s the nut between the ears that matters

In reply to Post #407 Five seconds a lap with the same talented rider, most Sunday sports bike riders would be lapped by a wsbk rider on like for like bikes in half a dozen laps.

In reply to Post #406 Like Colin Edwards once said, if somebody said a MotoGP bike would be faster with encrusted diamonds on it, it would be covered in them, he also referred to a WSB as riding round in an armchair at the time in comparison
Few million quid gets you a few tenths of a second
Technology has moved on miles, pretty amazing when you can buy an R1 straight from the shop and it’s around 5 seconds slower round a track than a WSB who’s suspension costs more than the R1
