MOTOGP 2011- Jerez, ESPAÑA 4/1-4/3

Here's my favorite part:

In yo' face, all you never-use-the-rear-brake riders/racers.

Stoner....Stoner.... Not us mere humans.

God bless him, but as a rider fook him.. No backing it in on 84. I am such a woos

I am such a woos

You said it. I didn't.

 

[Cali]

Just hope it is a close race with four or five bikes in the lead group the whole way

Stoner trod the same path 125-250-MotoGP path as most other GP stars....along the way, what magical riding skill did he develop that no one can duplicate?

Something in the water in Oz, they just breed hard-nose motorcycle racers who ride at the limit as if it's normal (and often past the limit).

Looks like Vale didn't save a front end crash in Qatar, like some thought.

This lead the Yamaha rider to take a very cautious approach, although at one point the two actually touched, with Valentino's foot sliding off a peg.

“I learned a lot about his braking technique and his lines - Spies told SpeedTV - He’s good on the brakes and he doesn’t really have any weakness. He knew I was there, but I had to be patient because you can’t just attack him and expect to get away from him. He just doesn’t really make mistakes. His pace wasn’t quite as quick as I could go but it was hard work getting by him. But it was good and it was a fun race.”

blasphemy


he said his shoulder is feeling better, though not perfectm and practice wa smuch better. a new elecrtonics package this weekend to help with some of the style changes rossi needs to make, and after estoril ducati says they will have massive and visible updates to the bike.

blasphemy

It's tough being right all the time.

Want to go double or nothing this week?

[jacksprat]

Stoner looks like he has the race pace, by a couple tenths.

 

[SuperMike]

Moto2 red flagged due to Espargaro / (some other guy) crash. No one hurt.

 

[MRpilot]

Haven't kept up with motogp for the last few years, the teams have changed so much haha. Looking forward to race day.

 

[Kestrel]

What the heck happened to Rossi in qualifying? Can't pull up flash on this iPod (hotel room) and he isn't listed in the top 11. Did Casey go down during QP? Title shot on Motogp.com is of a Honda in the gravel trap surrounded by corner workers.

 

[slydrite]

Rossi crashed his # 1 bike halfway through Q. Many small front tire crashes at the end too, from Spies, Edwards, DePunter, etc.

Tony Elias doing what he does best..... showing the world that he doesn't belong in MotoGP.

[clutchslip]

Much closer times, this round. Dani and Jorge are virtually even. Same with Spies and Simoncelli. Those two are showing you don't have to be a midget in MotoGP. Watch out Dovizioso, Sic is coming for your Repsol ride.

 

[weasel]

haha who says i am gonna bet on the third one after i take your money again here???

Awww, come on.
