Crazy second row too! Barely a tenth between them. Should be a gooder!
I think Crutchlow is moving to Ducati just to have an excuse!

Watching marquez ride breaks my brain. I dont know how he gets away with riding so far over the limit. So amazing to watch.

Me too, He is incredible and such a talent! Exciting to watch and making for an interesting championship.
As Gavin and Nick said in their commentary, we're witnessing something very special in Marquez this year. I only wish Stoner was in mix which would make this season even more epic.
Stoner would probably be complaining that he was riding too aggressively, haha. I think the Marquez domination is kind of neat for now, but if this continues next season, it will get a bit old. Hopefully Yamaha can step up their game a bit. Dani doesn't look to be challenging next year.
Lol so true
Stoner was a bit of a whiner but a helluva talent on the track. Marquez has been very aggressive but the only questionable pass was on Lorenzo at Jarez. Even his pass of Vale at Laguna was clean albeit daring. I think Marquez is going to cruise to a championship because the Yamahas just don't have what it takes to beat the Hondas right now. Remember, Brno was supposed to be a track that favoured the Yamahas.
Indeed, Stoner had a lot of talent, and it was great to see him ride. However, I think that he and a few of the other front runners made it very sterile and boring at the front. It's good to see some serious passing all the way down the field now. Marquez has made clean passes, but isn't afraid to try something that might not work out 100%. He is pushing Lorenzo and Pedrosa, not just looking for easy Honda passes on the straights.
Both Rossi and Lorenzo have said that the seamless gearbox won't be enough. You can see them getting massacred in braking, and any tracks with lots of low speed corners the Yamaha is getting beat. Rossi is asking for a whole new chassis, and I think that's what they'll need. Right now, they have arguably the best rider in the field (Lorenzo) riding flawlessly, and he isn't winning.

What I dislike is Lorenzo's attitude right now, he is making it seem like the results are only directly involved with the technology dismissing the amazing riding skills of Marques and even Pedrosa who is finally getting some cojones.
Before his crash he was in front of both of them, to the point of playing cat and mouse, he won very comfortably but yet a few weeks later, "the honda is so much more advanced that he has no chance" give me a break, he needs to admit that his two crashes and injuries got in his head and he is not at the top of his riding performance and that is why marques is kicking his ***.

I cant wait for philip island. I bet marquez runs away with that track the same way stoner always did. Only other rider i've seen that could back a gp bike in the way stoner did.
What's with Spies? Argued with Yamaha, now with Pramac. He'll be lucky to stay in GP when everyone starts to think he's a trouble maker. Seems like he wants to become MotoGP's new cry baby.
Here is a funny story I read this morning. A tweet from Ben Spies: [COLOR=#000000 said:

If you're 10 seconds back it's the bike. If you're 3 or 4 seconds back it's you.
I only follow 4 people on twitter, Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, Tiger Woods and Ben Spies, when I saw that twit a few days ago, I thought to myself, nahhh it must be an inside joke. Been is always so reserved and careful with his twits so i dismissed it.
Wow lol
