COTA Motogp

Post by duke63 »

Marquez is an immense talent but they need to make him realise that other riders have to be respected.

Hopefully pushed way down the grid.

Blocked Vinales flying lap by cruising on the racing line

Marquez had just gone back out on his 2nd bike after binning the first one. He was already on pole but Vinales was on track to be fastest.

I don't think Marquez does it deliberately. He is just focussed on winning and no other rider comes into his thinking.

Marquez given a three place penalty. Think it should have been more personally.

He is just giving the media wolves more ammo.

It was a stupid thing to do I would like to think it was just a mistake ....

I disagree with how much it's all effecting him. He's not cold and calculated he loves riding motorcycles and winning.

In the press conference for the race was very impressed by Jack miller saying that the media are stiring and twisting what people are saying to get a head line. Trying to make people pick a side and To remember what happend with pedrosa and simoncelli.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

MM93 seems to be reverting to his earlier riding style from moto2 where at times he was downright dangerous and should have been banned back then to teach him how he should behave on track, now he seems to think he can get away with punting people off at will!

Noooo!! Tired of Laguna Seca....it's got just one thing going for it - The Corkscrew....other than that it's a frickin' goat pasture. It might be "legendary", but basically that just means it's old. It's just not worth it for those 5 seconds-per-lap.

I also like Watkins Glen and Barber Motorsports Park , I am not sure if Watkins glen is up to the required standard without some investment but I think Barber would be good to go as it is .

Barber is a hell of a circuit, Watkins Glen (if anything like Forza 7) is also a good circuit, well suited to motorcycles
