Moto Gp - French Gp (Spoilers)

[Disco]

Has everyone forgotten we have a race this weekend?

Watching it last night (Australian time) Casey was very fast, infact he wasn't an awful lot faster even when he switched to the softer tyre.

Jorge looked really pissed off when he returned to the pits

Looks like my bold prediction that Ben would win his 1st Gp by France has turned to total **** :spank:

[Humperdinkel]

I know there is a race on , I also know there is one super fast Aussie on top of the time sheets

On a Moto2 note , I really would love to know why Andrea Ionnone cant qualify to save his life , yet once that flag drops he is head & shoulders above the field :don'tknow: Imagine how far he would win by if he started on the front row of the grid :thumbup:

 

[Humperdinkel]

I just noticed the top speed difference between Casey & Marco , Marco must really have that thing singing in the corners :thumbup:

 

[Disco]

Iannone has qualified worse than this & still won. Its bizzare how he does it, bludges his way through quali but as soon as its raceday, its like someone zapped him on the balls with an electric cattle prop

 

[Goop]

Yup! I've been a little preoccupied but I'm ready!

Now, if Marco can manage not to crash out, maybe they'll be some great battles tomorrow! The factory Yamaha and Tech 3 Yamaha riders are within 2 tenths of each other. Ben needs to get it figured out.

 

[Andz]

Well I didn't see the final grid because our local broadcaster decided to cut the feed while a third of the field were still out on their final lap!

What was up with Toni Elias? Did he actually kick one of the marshals when they were a bit slow pushing his bike?

 

[Disco]

That sux, cutting the broadcast like that. Last couple of minutes was awesome.

Im not sure, but Toni gave them a decent serve trackside.

His fall to me looked awfully similar to the one he had @ Qatar, loosing the front with the bike completely upright

 

[Goop]

What's up with Casey punching De Puniet in the arm during warmup? Uncalled for.

 

[Andz]

There is a rerun on now, yesterday I was in a really noisy pub so had no sound either, hopefully it won't be cut this time :spank:

I just saw the Elias incident again, looked more like a flying leg as he jumped off than a kick at the marshal but he was not happy!

And believe it or not they cut the coverage off AGAIN, this time seconds before the chequered flag went out! I tried calling them but couldn't get through, my blood was boiling!

125 race is on now and the weather looks a bit iffy, some blue sky but big clouds threatening....

 

[Disco]

Just seen the footage from warm up.

I like RdP, but he did the wrong thing swerving from one side of the track to the other at well below race pace when other riders are coming through.

Giving him the bird out on the track would have been enough & then go talk to him in the pits away from the camera's. Then again, we all know Casey gets his message across better with actions rather than words..........

Everybody here knows how much of an RdP fan I am , even going waaaay back to the Krapasaki days he was awesome but I agree he deserved what he got , Alvaro deserved a punch in the arm aswell for that matter :thumbup:

 

[Goop]

Oh well, RdP said he understood, but casey got a 5,000 fine in francs?

I see Marco got a ride through. :spank:

Hey Humpy...Slash was there!

 

[Disco]

I have to vent.

Lorenzo = Kettle + Black + Pot. He's been complaining about overtaking manouvers, how about barging into the side of Dovi just before the Dunlop Bridge.

Simoncelli, well it was an agressvie move on Pedrosa. I do feel however he was hard done by getting a ride through. Feel bad for Dani though, another fall & another broken bone.

Nah I have to disagree. I think it was Simoncelli's fault. You don't ride around the outside of someone and expect to cut in front... That was just a reckless move and it shows hair bear's inexperience and immaturity.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit of a desperate move as well. Realistically, Danny could have slowed up a little, so as not to have to lift the bike to avoid smacking into SIC, but it was still a helluva lot too chancy for SICto even try. I was really hoping that Pedrosa might take the Championship lead too...

 

[Kazza]

Thank f**k.

A podium

Good race.

Marcos fault and now the jockey has broken his shoulder.

Lorenzo threw a podium away.

RdP deserves a fine, but under NO circumstances should ANYONE assault another rider WHILST ON THE TRACK. Minor hit, slap or whatever. Should have hit him in the pits, away from the cameras. Lesson for next time Casey.

Was nice to see Rossi clamber back onto the podium, I think. While he appears to be past his prime, it has been disappointing that he has only be a half a5sed contender for the season so far. Wanna watch him and stoner fighting for a place again

I'm not saying it wan't Simo's fault, it was every day of the week, but I do feel it was a racing incident that unfortunately sees Pedrosa injured (again!).


Moving away now from the blame game, if his move is 'illegal' as declared by race control, why didn't they black flag him? Ride through penalties are for things like jumping the start, cutting a chicane etc.
