Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

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.

What happened Duke

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 does seem to be the naughty boy of the paddock at the monent

Agreed - wont make any difference to his mindset.

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.

Mat Oxley wrote a great piece about aggressive/dangerous riding , it's entertaining and enlightening : https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opin ... -choirboys

Suzi P. Anyone else thinking she looks a bit rough these days?

Yes. A bit 'fluffy' these days as i call it. Make up only does so much

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!

The state of the race track is a disgrace.

Dull dull dull race.

Yep. Hopefully MotoGP will not go back there. It's a shite racetrack.

Agreed , let's get back to Laguna Seca .

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
