mania Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Here is tomorrow grid Way to go Cal !! Edited June 28, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Cal on pole, in the interview after he said it was a shame that Jorge wasn't around to compete against. But wait. After surgery, metal plates and screws inserted on Friday in Spain, Jorge wishes to join the Saturday warm up to see if he race or not! What a star, history (and common sense ) tell us that this is not a good move, but the bravery of the guy is outstanding. Reminds me of Mick Doohan. He will certainly get the biggest cheer of the year at Assen if people see him out on track today, I can't wait. Well done Cal, first British pole since Jeremy McWilliams many moons ago, go for it Cal. http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/192912/1/rivals_react_to_injured_lorenzos_shock_return.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just watched the Moto3 race. The more I see the more I like Moto3 This is my first year since they switched from 2 strokes watching 250 class & I must say I still like it. Lots of action right up to the line & the bikes so closely matched the slipstream is doubly important Fun to watch! You know Mahindra's Olivera looks like he lacks a little speed on the long straights but the boy is really good on the brakes & that keeps him competitive. No spoiler as I know some have yet to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Moto 2 was also excellent but get this......... Lorenzo will race today !!!

Lickey Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 That was the best WKends racing ive seen for a long time, Assen is always a spectacular event, there are passing places,and thats what makes the best on the calendar, VR46 well done that man, great to see him back winning again, and well done Yourgay, broken bone, sugery, flights ect and a 5th, oh yes, so many critics have said that Vale was over the hill at 34, oh, really? 49 yo Jeremy McWilliams won the Battle of the Twins at the NW200 this year, WSB, Our man The Grinner Tom Sykes did the double and Kawasakis 1st ever win at imola, at wsb level, and winning by a healthy margin, WSS was good, but like Monza the marshalls are otherwise ignorant,not trained, or plain stupid, again it was an oil problem they failed to spot, This coming WK, we have the BSB from Snetterton, my home circuit, it should be live on the net, about 5.00 pm thai time, Come on Shakey!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 looking forward to yet more great racing this weekend. Lorenzo maybe less sore now, with Rossi feeling on top of the world anything is possible. Hope for a win for Scott Redding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Unfortunate not only for himself, his fans, his view on winning the championship but for the racing on Sunday and what can be expected for the race in the US end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) You know one crash that looked really bad for the bike was Andrea Iannone He seemed fine but check out his Ducati,,, Then again that is that frame-less design What do you suppose Jorge is thinking here? I would be like.....Oh Crap I actually just read he bent that new plate he has screwed into his shoulder Edited July 13, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Pedrosa just got off hard in FP3 & immediately grabbed his left collar bone/shoulder which he came down very hard on. Man this track is taking its toll Edited July 13, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetongue Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'd be tipping a Valentino/Marc quinella again I think. Pedrosa seems to be OK but his quandary is that he can probably afford to let Valentino take points off him but not Marc. Cant wait to see if Marc wants to shoot it out with Rossi at the corkscrew in Laguna Seca Saw pictures of Redding riding Kevin Schwantz's old RGV that must have been a hoot for him.

Yeah you know inadvertently this could make for a very interesting year. In a sense if Pedrosa is out it will shake up the standings & not let him get too far in front of Jorge. Then Cal & Rossi now have interest & of course Marc was always right there Yes could be interesting tomorrow. I kind of think Ped will be ok albeit starting back in the pack but the track is mainly all left turns & that seems to be which shoulder he hurt Edited July 13, 2013 by mania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yes, it will an interesting, although slightly depleted, race. If Dani does start I can't see him running at the front. Rossi could be on for a consecutive win, if Marc manages to stay on he will be at the front. Watching him slide the bike around corners during practice was awesome. What a great qualifying ride by Alex Espargaro! How good would it be if Cal wins? I think the last Brit to win in the top class was Barry Sheene in 1981. Come On Cal Come On Rossi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
