MOTOGP » Hopkins plays down Lorenzo clash

King Carl "too slow"? Carl could be very fast on a MotoGP bike, maybe even a champion. Actually his riding stile might fit the 800cc bikes due to good corner speed.
When it comes to "street fights" the WSBK seems much rougher! Chili,Falappa,Foggy..... which also need to shave, not like the kids today at the MotoGP, which still mom and dad to drive them to the races...

Now your dreaming mate.... Foggy fast on a GP bike???? are you serious, certainly not on this planet....
I still remember him in his later years on the supers "daring" Doohan to come over to SBK as he reckoned it was 'much' harder than riding a screamer 500? Now thats bloody funny, Foggy like so many others just could not hack it in GP simple as that really. I reckon Niall McKenzie and Ron Haslam were both "way" better pommy GP racer from same era than Foggy ever was

Lorenzo proved I was right to dislike him. Hopkins proved I was right to like him!

Go Hopper!

Lorenzo really thought Hopper was toe'ing becuase the race before lorenzo was followed Casey for a number of laps in ALL practice sesians so he had it on the brain Lorenzo is guilty as.

Now next on the agenda is JT, someone needs to shove him off the track a few times in the race and maybe he will cool down, There's no "hard men" in gp like there is in WSBK so james thinks he can stand over them all.....Sorry James but you will pay!

There is "hard men" at the MotoGP, but they are still too young to be men... and for now they are too slow and way behind so make any trouble, Elias and the others crashers can't reach the front to create any havoc! Maybe Ducati get paid from Dorna to make such a bike which place these guys way back.

No hard men in GP??? i beleive Capirex and Melandri have both shown they are definately no push over in a fight on track... both i believe have even fired people into the gravel in order to win titles! rememeber this sint F1, on bikes normally both guys go down from things like that! Elias is just a weapon in his own right, he may not be at the front but is a true spectacle to watch on a bike when hes racing people! Rossi is no pushover... Jerez 05 anyone? and remember him fighting max when Rossi first went to yamaha? I think Stoner, Pedrosa and Lorenzo will do their fair share if need be but haven't shown us much more than they still can be brats at the moment! they'll learn!...

... Then we move on to JT... hes made his mark in the first 2 rounds. Chris vermulen is just a big girl as i think hes the only one who complained about it! Dovi just did what a real rider should do and punched back, last corner last lap!... De Angelis, as they mentioned during qualifying for Jerez, is probably the bravest man in the paddock! always 110% committed, regardless. When its been needed nicky Hayden has shown he can fight as well, although he doesn't seem to get into the same situations as some of the others! or we don't see much of him on camera... Hopper, just see threads above! All in all, when it comes to riding theres a few tough boys on the grid.

Lorenzo better not mess around with Hopkin's The King of Wheelie, the guy is known to have a temper and not afraid to show it, I remember when he he kicked the crap out of his bike.

Paul, to tell the truth Capirossi complained about Toseland saying that the next time it happens, the english rider will find himself in the grandstands. Even Stoner has taken a certain stand against Toseland's way of riding in a yesterday's interview.

Overly risky maneuvers is something that if it happens once or twice in a riders season it's OK, racing is a risky business and it always adds a bit of pepper to see some hard feelings for some questionable maneuvers. However, it's entirely a different matter if its adopted as a standard tactic. Risking fellow racers health on a regular basis is a no-no. For all those who can't make a clean pass maybe there should be another championship: "PanzerGP" with armored bikes and riders wielding flails and maces for bashing other people!
