Bluetongue Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes Miller has way too many dummy spits, I don't think that manager Ackie Ajo is doing much mentoring. Jack has got skill but Alex will be world champion, barring falls because he puts his head down and just does it. Casey Stoner used to have a few spits but calmed down (a bit) when he joined Cechinello which is where Jack is going so that's a good sign 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Sepang FP3 Scott Redding slows & tells Pol there is a problem with your bike... Basically telling him its smoking & losing oil Why Pol then turns it back up after a quick look beats me....I guess because he was in 10th on list....but still But he then flips a big highside & looks like he may have gotten hurt....Bike bursts into flames Edited October 25, 2014 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overandout Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Not the cleverest of moves by Pol, did he think Scott was joking??? Anyway, good pole position from Miller by the looks of the times, half a second quicker than 2nd place (well done McPhee). Did anyone see Moto 3 QP? Did Miller actually get down to riding instead of comedy arm waving, gesticulating and general Basil Fawlty impersonations?

mania Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes wasn't just Scott either but another rider too told him. I dont have a link to the video but the highside was pretty spectacular Here is the aftermath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thats quite an outrageous photo, looks painful. Going back a week and it was good to see Vale win again, there seemed to be loads of fallers. Going to miss the races again today Could we have a Moto2 new champ today? I think Moto3 will go down to Valencia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Good Moto3 today as usual! Sometimes though while I agree Miller is great on brakes sometimes I think He does a bit too much bump & barge due to it If I were Alex I might be a bit pissed at the frequency he is used as Miller's berm MotoGP was pretty dang good too today. Track looked slippery in a few turns with all 3 top guys having a few almost moments. Dani sadly went further than almost falling 2x he is definitely out of eh hunt now for top 3 WC How about the old dog 46? Still can hunt that one Soihok although I did not watch all of Moto2 ( I never do ) Yes we have a new WC Moto2 champ after today Rabat sealed it Edited October 26, 2014 by mania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah , I thought Marquez would have smartened up a bit after the first couple of times , there was even a time when Miller let him past so he could do it again at the same corner. As for the big'uns I thought Rossi did great , but once MM started pushing it I think Rossi was just glad to take second spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yes. Watched the reply of the races last night. Great moto 3, Miller again very aggressive. MotoGP was also good. Well done to Tito Rabat in becoming a world champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well done to Guinters. Baz is a git. He seems to forget that he was responsible for Toms only DNF of the year, at Sepang As he moves to MotoGP now its fair to say that he probably won't be riding for Kawasaki again. Last race of the year for MotoGP on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) This should be an interesting weekend in Moto3 & MotoGP For Moto3 if Alex is smart & Jack gets ahead all Alex need do is stick to his wheel But emotions? We will see MotoGP Could be interesting & think Jorge has a advantage historically at this track Last win being 2013...Rossi last win here was 10 years ago...but anything is possible it seems So the battle for 2nd overall WC could be good. Rossi sure has been on it these last few races. But like Moto3 if Rossi stays close or finishes ahead even if they are all in their usual top spots should see Rossi cinch 2nd in the WC Impressive I also saw a blurb where he (Rossi) said he will be trying hard next year for a 10thWC that would be impressive to say the least..

Overandout Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Moto 3 is going to be a bitch fight! And it should be a good one.

soihok Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Lost for words with the Moto3 finale, absolutely outstanding race and close to a brilliant 2014 championship. Pity Miller didn't congratulate him on the podium, but these guys are so young they may not understand - but he was gutted. Good win for him though, very hard. So, 2014 = the year of MARQUEZ (and Spain = all 3 classes) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Watching Moto2 now, battle between Tito and Luthi, hoping Luthi can do it. Moto GP. Happy to see #46 on pole, but I will be cheering Marc M #93 on for this win, only to set a new record for the number of wins in a season. Also, really looking forward to see the Suzuki - lets hope it doesn't break down (Vinales will be riding this next year)...... Great racing ------ pity I'm not there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Another record for MM...13 wins in a season Good race & Rossi again shows he still has it. Lorenzo is definitely rain shy .... Anyone else see Pedrosa's spent rear tire? No surprise he slowed a bit but still good for 3rd Edited November 9, 2014 by mania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Overandout Posted November 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2014 The only thing Miller will ever win is the poor loser's cup. Now he's of to Moto GP, and by the time he gets onto a competitive bike in a few years he'll be racing against two Marquezes... and whoever else come to the front. Luthi was well lucky today and he deserved it! Does anyone really believe Tito's BS story about the fuel starvation? Admit it, you were trying to hoik a wheelie over the line and messed up! Rossi, well done, but you have to hand it to MM, he'll be difficult to beat next year too. Looking forward to seeing the results of tomorrow's and Tuesday's tests, but its not looking good for Viñales and Espargaro A, Suzuki are clearly not ready for racing yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
