COTA Motogp
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.

Re: COTA Motogp
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.

Re: COTA Motogp
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.

Re: COTA Motogp
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!

Re: COTA Motogp
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.

Re: COTA Motogp
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 .

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