mania Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Well its hard to go past Dani after a lap like that I saw your post Mania about the top speed, I dunno but I saw Dani hit 342 in QP. Yes Dani is tops now. I missed Qual last night as I was out but Hayden had top speed on FP3 Dani blew past it & also Stoners lap record for this track I believe in Qual. Good on him hope he can keep it going for the race. You know I was reading that the Yamaha boys have blown through their engine allocation & are on like engine 4 of 5. I have not really followed this rule so can someone summarize? I know they are allotted X amount of engines per season. But once one is cooked are they not allowed to rebuild it? I always thought they wee just limited to X amount & no new cases allowed. But always thought they could rebuild the spent ones from their allocation. Is that not true? This is where I read about them going thru the engines rapidly as opposed to Honda whose engines seem to hold up well Lots of season left & if they are running low at Yamaha could be a problem then?

mania Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Moto3 Nice Race Always good & always close. Little things make the biggest difference in this class & always enjoyable to watch Mahindra has been moving along nice too Would love to find a good Moto3 tech site & read more about the technology in this class.

mania Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Heheh talk about a cliff hanger Dang I lost my internet stream with 2 laps to go in MotoGP. Right after Marc clipped his front wheel Of course by the time the stream came back race was over. At least nothing changed from where I lost contact but still Wish I had a better connect some times but cannot complain for free Moto2 was good too. Wont spoil it by naming anyone as I know some watch delayed Edited June 16, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Great race at the front while there were loads of crashes, mainly at turn 10 for some reason. Alvaro only just managing to miss Rossi early on. Marc was on line to wipe out Dani at a couple of points, especially when lost the front momentarily. Good ride by the Doctor, which was nice to see. Sad to see Cal eat the gravel, better luck next time. Bradley Smith looked pleased didn't he? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is just what I said about turn 10 watching practice http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/604295-motogp-2013-sbkbsb-motorbike-racing/page-7#entry6506785 Don't know why or what was the deal there but it caught many napping Also I was thinking after the race watching the top three conference that Ped look frazzled I think having Marc at his rear tire all that time was taxing for sure. I also bet when he saw the replay & Marc had to hit his front brake with 2 laps to go to keep from rear-ending him..... Yes also was sad to see Cal go down & Hayden too as he was doing so well in FP & Qual Edited June 17, 2013 by mania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetongue Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know the full rules about the engines but they did say last night that Yamaha (Jorge) had used up 4 out of 5 and had retired one of the used up ones. Retired must mean unrebuildable I suppose. Its looking ominous for Dani with Jorge screaming off the start twice in a row and Marc climbing all over him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Lorenzo has topped the timesheets at the end of the Barcelona MotoGP test, but the talking point of the test was Suzuki. On its first public run out, Randy de Puniet clocked a time of 1’42.676, just over three quarters of a second off the time set by Lorenzo, an impressive debut.

soihok Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for the photos. Shame we may not see it racing for another 2 years. We live in hope tho...

mania Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Marc Marquez, in his first time at Aragon on the MotoGP machine,completed 71 laps only aboard his 2013 machine and recorded a quicker time than the pole record set by Casey Stoner in 2011 (1'48.451) with a lap of 1'48.434. He and his team will stay for an extra day tomorrow to test some more items on his current bike and also the 2014 prototype. The kid is fast no doubt about that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Looks surreal doesn't it? Yep ! I do that all the time on my Versys. ( in my dreams) I would like Dani to get the 2013 Championship but like the commutators say with Marc coming in this year it's like rolling a grenade under the table.

mania Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bummer I was getting so use to watching WSB one weekend & GP the next. Seems this is a dead weekend Then next weekend they bump heads with each other 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Bumpy heads.....funny. Surely you mean F1? That's all you can see of the guys in the cars, heads bumping about, apart from the odd hand now again slagging each off or waving like the queen. I'm not knocking F1, much, as it is far more exciting than it was when Schumi was always winning and I do enjoy watching it. I have been to 3 races, all in Singapore. On the other hand, a certain Doctor had it all his own way for a period of time,,,,buts lets face it, there is no comparison.

mania Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah I agree about F1 soihok But I meant GP at Assen & WSB at ImolaWell actually I see GP/Assen is the 29th & WSB/Imola the 30th so should be ok I was watching F1 for a few years as I loved the technology & the sound of course.But quite boring overall as two trains cannot pass on the same set of tracks most of the time.

mania Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Bummer “Jorge has suffered an accident at over 200 kilometres an hour and the obvious injury at this point is a broken left clavicle,” explains Dr. Xavier Mir. “However, as this was a significant accident, we have to take into account that there could also be head, thoracic or abdominal injuries. For now, we have taken him to hospital in Assen where CT scans will be carried out in those three areas to rule out any further injuries. video here http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/motorcycling-motogp-assen-lorenzo-involved-high-speed-crash-125823700.html Edited June 27, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Told you it was similar But watching the slow mo I say the Marquez crash was way more violent He is lucky if unhurt BTW: in 1st pic that is just how I 1st saw it.
