MotoGP Off-Season Thread

[Kurosaki]

On another note, I guess people can put that garbage theory to rest that the reason why Elias couldn't ride a MotoGP bike anymore was because he hangs off the bike too much. Marquez is at least the same amount off the bike.

Elias just couldn't ride new bridgestones

 

[Kurosaki]

It doesn't get old.

Think you'll be eating those words about both riders and only being on the last spot of the podium several times this year.

I don't see lorenzo or Danni losing the form they had last year, only way rossi or maquez or anyone else get anything higher than 3rd is if the other two riders DNF

You should know by now that people don't actually base their theories on any real evidence but rather just look for the most obvious difference between the subject and everyone else. Think Pedrosa's size or Ducati's CF/frame/and now engine layout.

Rossi hasn't ridden a competitive bikes in a couple years. Wait till he get the heat of competition in his heart. There's a reason he dominated the sport for a decade, and it's not because it was easy and he was lucky. He's still the standard MotoGP riders will be judged by for years.

This has been gone over pretty well but the period that Rossi dominated was populated by talent that was not in the same league as those at the top now.

Rossi himself has said so. He had to learn to be faster in order to compete with Stoner and Lorenzo.

That said, I'm not sure what that has to do with much of anything. He is now the number 2 rider on the second most competitive bike, two situations he's never had to deal with before.

Meanwhile, Pedrosa is in the best form of his career and Lorenzo, as always, has stepped up his game to compete.

Rossi is definitely a talent but he is going to be picking up scraps from these two.

That last part is some of the funniest shit youve said.

You don't think Rossi can beat Lorenzo or Pedrosa on any race weekend without them crashing?

And you don't think Marquez might score one? Just maybe?

One day, you'll be right about something. I'm sure of it.

Obviously the bike is more powerful and takes more out of you physically DP,

The 1000cc is a tougher ride DP

The one thing he did say (I won't divulge the rest) is the reason for the dodgey front end on the Ducati MotoGP bike. Not the forks but the frame - way too stiff to provide feedback until the rider is sliding on his butt.

Yes no real evidence what so ever. JB refference.

Marquez is fast enough, it is a matter of being able to put everything together when it is needed. I am not sure he knows how to do that yet. Maybe.

Rossi? I don't know. Spending 2 years fucking around watching your skills lose their edge? Pedrosa is the key to this. Lorenzo has had to seriously step up. If Rossi was fighting to beat Lorenzo before he's going to have a harder time now and spending two years losing that edge make the hill that much steeper.

He could do it but I'm not seeing it.

I have to believe that you are just drunk. There isn't any other explanation for how little sense any of that makes.

Your "argument" is that being small means you are weaker? That's moronic.

 

[sidewazzz]

One day, you'll be right about something. I'm sure of it.

Dude, Rossi was once young and came in by storm and beat the semi old guys and the old guys. Today Rossi is semi old and being challenged by the young. He has proven to hang and win against them. on 990 and 800 and now it's going to be the 1000. But you're still going to say it's the bike. Of course he is going to say they are a better rival for him because he's on the oppiste side of the spectrum.

PS Pedro had what is called a "FLUKE' year. Until he comes back and does almost the same way he did it will still be labelled as a FLUKE. Dude has averaged like 2 wins a year and suddenly wins 7(?). Mind you those came with two guys that would normally beat him MIA (Rossi on a DUC & Stoner out or suffering from midget theory.

Never said he was weaker but you mention his size and the bigger bikes, Pedro confirmed that.

Then you mention the CF frame wasn't a problem and there is no evidence supporting it. Seems JB said the exact opposite of what you say. arty

You have been proven wrong on your points.

nonsense

You don't win the most races of the year and have it be considered a fluke.

You know he won 3 races the year before, right? And 4 the year before that. He's long since broken that 2 race wins a year thing.

AVERAGE WINS
Now 3.1
Before 2012 it was 2.5

ZOOG ring a bell

Don't you find it the least bit interesting that without Rossi on a bike he can challenge on & Stoner suffering from arm pump and injury, Pedro wins more races than he normally has.

Yah, cuz that guy named Hayden never won a championship. Speaking of flukes.

So, your argument is that Rossi came in my storm and beat KRJR?

PS Pedro had what is called a "FLUKE' year. Until he comes back and does almost the same way he did it will still be labelled as a FLUKE. Dude has averaged like 2 wins a year and suddenly wins 7(?).

So clueless.

Never said he was weaker but you mention his size and the bigger bikes, Pedro confirmed that.

When did I mention bigger bikes? And WTF does that have to do with his size?

Then you mention the CF frame wasn't a problem and there is no evidence supporting it. Seems JB said the exact opposite of what you say. arty

Seem JB was talking out of his ass since leaving the CF frame didn't make fuck all of a difference.

You have been proven wrong on your points.

Really? Looks more like, to me, you haven't a fucking clue what comes out of your mouth.

Average. That's nice but you're gonna call the guy's 2012 season a fluke when he's been coming on strong in the last few years. It's not like he just showed up out of nowhere.

Doesn't make sense.
