yep, i've had to reconsider my earlier predictions, in total awe of what these boys do with a bike but thought MM would not get away with riding a moto GP like it was a moto2 machine.....but he does! Anyone who watches knew he was a talent but it's jaw dropping skill we're seeing now. Got to admit he's looking like a contender.
Would someone at yamaha please give Cal the equipment that he deserves, what he's achieving with last years bike is fantastic.

OOPS....There goes another pillion!!
Well Marques is doing better than I expected at this stage. Still to be seen how he copes when he has a weekend where nothing works right but so far it's more than impressive.
Why oh why did Yamaha give their other works bike to that old chap whose past his best (yes I know - it's the media attention that the name still draws) No 46 beaten (by 10 seconds) by a satellite yam whose rider hadn't even tested at the circuit .... also by a satellite Honda ..... and only one place ahead of that "unrideable" Ducati .....
Come on Yamaha, give Cal the bike he has shown he deserves.

Well perdosa certainly had a good ride today.
Lorenzo must be changing his underpants. Marquez went in waaaaaaaaaaaay to fast and was lucky to not knock Lorenzo off.
I can only imagine how Lorenzo must feel at this moment in time.
A nice one two for Honda. And well done to Rossi. Nice clean race and picked up some points. Good race

Tolerance will be our undoing.
Yes .... although Marquez is in my fantasy race team, I still think it was a stupid move.blinkey501 wrote:Well perdosa certainly had a good ride today.

I struggle to understand why he seems to have got away with it scott-free when you compare it with the move that Simoncelli pulled on Pedrosa a couple of years ago ..........

..... so why the big issues with Simoncelli 2 years ago?
The issue is that it should either be allowable or it shouldn't. It seems like inconsistency or favouritism. Being that they also changed the rules for this year to allow Marquez straight onto a full factory bike, one might suspect the latter .....

The article (s) in this week's MCN were very good on the subject. It's been seen (as it was) as just a racing incident.
To quote Matt Birt on why Marques made the move:
'Sitting back would have been like rolling over and going to sleep with a naked Rihanna sat on the end of your bed'
Love it!!

I haven't a problem with it being viewed as a racing incident - it's the inconsistency that is the issue - some riders seem to get the book thrown at them and others seem to have no such problems (along with eligibility rules changed to accommodate them)

Well he'd look a bit lame riding on a 2nd class CRT bike, more than likely take half the field out in his enthusiasm for bravado.D-Rider wrote:I haven't a problem with it being viewed as a racing incident - it's the inconsistency that is the issue - some riders seem to get the book thrown at them and others seem to have no such problems (along with eligibility rules changed to accommodate them)
But I do have to agree he shouldn't be on a factory bike at this stage, but such is the bully boy tactics of Honda.

Catalunya today
Amazing start by Lorenzo, fairly harsh conditions with the high temp, many riders spooning it at turn 10.
Good race by lorenzo, usual Pedrosa/Marquez squabble, Marquez almost offed after a failed overtake,too much front brake to stop him runningh into Pedrosa's rear, how he saved that was brilliant.
Marquez got some balls !
Oh, that Italian chappie, did he manage 4th because everyone between him and the leaders dropped it on turn 10 ?
