soihok Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 No WSBK from Donnington on TV here in Malaysia today !!! Have the most boring racing event of the year on instead, yes, its the Monaco F1 Looks like I'll be doing a search for the races on the web then, wiziwig or similar. Hope to watch the races tomorrow night (Monday), unless we have to get bored sh*tless again by being given a repeat of the Monaco F1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well, saw the repeats of Sundays WSBK races. A damn sight more entertaining than the zzzzzzzzz at Monaco. Well done to Tom, came from 10th to a sizable lead to win in race one. A race win he has called the best of his career, which is saying something isn't it? Loris Baz, also a good 2 rides but he out of control at times. The way he bowled into the Melbourne Loop in race 2, way too fast it was lucky he never took out a number of riders. Wish he would lose the "tache" though - too cheesy. Great ride from the BSB Champ to take a podium, shame about race 2 but did very well to recover to get into the top ten. Nice round is in Sepang and I can't wait. My 6 year old girl wants to go, but seeing as it will be trip there on the bus it could be the traffic from hell experience again (although KLIA2 is open and a lot of airport traffic will no longer be heading to the LCCT which is on the same road as the track). We will see... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overandout Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Some Beautiful Tech pics & explanations http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/05/23/motogp-racebike-technology-in-ten-photos-by-kevin-cameron/ Only just had time to look at this. Nice that he included some Moto 3 stuff in there. Makes a change from Dorna always promoting MGP over everything else all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new BT sport will do run ups and will be able do download, I will wait and see. Edited May 28, 2014 by Kwasaki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 MM seems to be on target for another pole with Rossi not too far behind. I am really intrigued to see how long MM can go for to remain unbeaten on pole and race result. Can this man have an influence at his home GP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well 6 races 6 poles sheesh ! Good on Iannone to get 2nd but on soft tires so not sure if he is able to complete race on those or if he will even try to. Lorenzo 3rd & I hope he is on the come back Had high hopes for Dani after leading fp3&4 but not to be. I was hoping he would get some revenge for them dropping his pay from 7 mil to 1.5 Anyway overall the riders were close this time so maybe a race tomorrow? As always Moto3 was awesome & will be a great race tomorrow. I think here at Mugello with that ling straight it will be a Honda win but we will see. Maybe Vazquez,Rins or Marquez? Either way Miller will be there too I am sure & Fenati has the Italiano thing going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Flying Iannone breaks MotoGP™ top speed record and nears 350kph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overandout Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 That top speed is truly amazing, 350 kph! Nearly three times as the legal motorway limit in most Euro countries!!! The fastest I ever went on a bike was 176 mph on the speedo (so in reality, quite a bit slower) and the scenery was passing by quicker than I could cope with. My mind cannot even contemplate how that must feel ! Anyway, back to racing. Even the Moto3 QP is exciting ! Miller just does not give up does he? Fenati got "lucky" to be so far up the grid and bodes for another cracking race. I expected more from Rossi, what happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I expected more from Rossi, what happened? You know towards the end of Qual he was in the pits & looked like he was waiting for the bike as they had the front torn down pretty good. I think maybe changed brake disc? Iannone flew past him at the end of the long straight at one point I was wondering what Rossi must be thinking right then to see that Ducati fly by at that speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetongue Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Iannone could be in the lead after Lap 1, then again he could throw it away. However based on the sector times I expect MM to be leading by Lap 2. I think Lorenzo and Pedrosa 2nd and 3rd just for a change. Rossi in 11th, the Espargaro boys throw it down a bit too much, the Ducatis can get top 10, as will Rossi I'm sure, Smith etc. Go Jack, this time slipstream to victory. Moto 2 who cares, look for the ex Moto3 men, Salom, Cortese or Folger to challenge Rabat, Kallio dry as a chip as he is probably cant do it this time though I'd like to see it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overandout Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Amazing racing betwen MM and JL!!! That's the first time that I've been on the edge of my seat (literally) for a long time with MGP!! Miller cracked though, desperate move, and others paid the price with him. Got to give all creadit to Fenati for that win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Yes that GP was a 2 man exhibition of awesome!! I really thought Jorge had it but that Honda had some left on the straight Moto3....Yep I like Jack but that was a dumb move & others paid Now Alex lost valuable point & may have a broken arm Also sad to see Vazquez jump the start & need a ride thru penalty Moto2....geez first lap & last 2 are about all is worth watching They could learn a lot from tonight GP race Even 2 bikes can make a race riveting Edited June 1, 2014 by mania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Breath taking battle between Jorge and MM, I was sure it was going to end in the gravel - glad I was wrong. Brilliant scenes from Mugello, kind of makes you want to visit before 46 retires. He announced he wishes to continue for another 2 years - nice one Vale. Moto3 was also a cracking race, agree with your comments above regarding that. I don't know why Moto2 isn't producing the same levels of excitement but there is always chance as the season is more or less just underway. Nice to see Jorge finally manage to get into the groove. Is there any stopping MM? Today was the closest of the year so far. So it still stands = 6 wins from 6 poles --WOW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I saw that live....All it takes is for the wheel to be spinning up like it was a bit right before he touched the paint & boom...so quick eh? What happened in the race? Was it crutchlow who took him out? Or was it he who took Crutch out? I need to watch the replay tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 That was nasty, he was very lucky to get away without an injury. He did manage to get in the race - well done. Cal lost his bike after the first corner of the "S" section, his bike catapulted into poor Bradl who knew nothing about it until he found himself airborne once more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 What do you think? Best race so far this year? 2.jpg Best race for 1st position, I have to say the race where Marc came through the field was good to watch. I hope Jorge & Vale keep up the form. Ducati high speed striaght line but a good rider on it like Iannone is now getting it around corners too, still struggle towards the end but crafty Dovi was there at the end. Wonder what Dani will do, 12 sec behind 3rd place ?? Looking forward to the race at Catalunya between Marc, Jorge, Vale, and Dani. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Some sad news from the IOM TT. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-27684730 Yet some good news. http://www.iomtt.com/News/2014/June/04/TT-Zero-Result.aspx Never been to the IOM TT, doubt if I will now, certainly is something special though.

soihok Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Didn't know about that, RIP Simon Andrews. There is always that danger lurking, road racing is the ultimate form of bike racing I think, but the cost can be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
