MOTOGP » Stoner leaves door ajar to MotoGP return


He shouldn't have dissed Simoncelli's memory. That's just jealousy because Simmo was far better liked in the paddock and by the public. CS27 says he gets no respect. I think he gets plenty of respect but it simply isn't enough to satisfy him. If he carries on criticising the riders, the teams and the whole paddock atmosphere he will erode whatever respect he has and be even less welcome in MotoGP. If he had any sense he'd keep it zipped and let the controversies die down. THAT would earn him some respect.

MOTOGP » Brivio responds to Suzuki MotoGP reports


I'd like to ask Expletive Caramello " What's wrong with a team entering and then leaving after one year, if they have to ?" He should be encouraging Mnfrs to take part, not making up rules which are designed to make life difficult for just one particular factory. He has already decreed that all manufacturer teams should make FOUR bikes available (two for the works team, two for satellite) and I agree that would be a significant addition to the grid. But now he is saying that Suzuki cannot field their own works team, which is robbing himself of two more satellite bikes! He made the rookie rule, then un-made it, and I'm sure he'd do the same with this one if, say, Kwak or BMW wanted to enter a works team. I think he's just playing hard-to-get as revenge for Suzuki's previous withdrawal.

MOTOGP » Lorenzo: Four favourites for MotoGP 2013


“Drop the control Tire rule and we will see who the best riders are. Posted by The Bad Guy” A more likely scenario to “drop the Control tyre rule” would be that we would see who makes the best deals with tyre manufacturers. It does not follow that the best teams or best riders would benefit, as Tyre contracts are big money deals and that would determine who gets what tyre. “Pedrosa is the guy with nothing to lose, Posted by Wacko” Surely Dani has the most to lose, namely his ride on a race-winning bike for the richest team on the grid. If he doesn’t bring home the prosciutto he’ll be Honda history.

MOTOGP » Lorenzo: Four favourites for MotoGP 2013


Oh No ! Yet another thread debased into the same old Rossi versus Stoner and Ducati development arguements. The article is about Jlo's assessment of the forthcoming season, so like him we should be looking forward instead of looking back. "Looking forward" means anticipating enjoyment, so let's do that. Please, gentlemen, debate the topic of the article and not your incessant, repetitive, irrelevant-for-2013 soapbox themes.

MOTOGP » Will Ducati win in MotoGP 2013?


"Audi is made up of several companies one of which was NSU who won 4 WCs in the early fifties and for those who are not old enough the Honda Dream was an NSU Max with two cylinders, indicators and rear view mirrors.Posted by samas" I agree completely, but the early 50's was over 60 years ago and sadly I have to say that anything learned from NSU's is No S*dding Use in todays electronically advanced pits and design offices.

RR » Michael Dunlop critical of Supertwin class


Michael Dunlop is a great addition to any team. His grasp of generating headlines is on a parallel to Guy Martin. It draws attention to him and his team, which is exactly what attracts sponsors. Like many others here, at first I thought him a loud-mouth who just spoke his mind and verged on arrogance, but for a youngster he is already performing like a veteran. As for fat, he has a wide chubby face upon which many judge him, yet he is fit and full of energy. He also has an incredible work ethic, and as his professional racing life becomes more busy, more demanding, he will become more toned. We forget how young he is. William is the quiet one, less adept at creating his own public persona, but on a good bike he can be guarranteed to uphold the family name in any class and in any company..

MOTOGP » Will Ducati win in MotoGP 2013?


"All of Rossi/JB's request started at the frame, the handling of the motorcycle. First they wanted a more flexible frame, Next he wanted aluminum, Then he wanted a delta box style frame. What were his comments? The bike is no better then when we first tested it. Posted by CRT" Have you considered this? Ducati hadn't made CF frames before, and they weren't skilled at it. Likewise they hadn't made ali frames, nor delta-box frames. So it is no surprise that the frames they produced were not up to the standard of other teams. Also if all of the various Ducati frames gave similar characteristics then it points to the motor/installation as being the stumbling block.

MOTOGP » Will Ducati win in MotoGP 2013?


I would very much like to see Ducati challenging the other factories at the front of the field. BUT "Will Ducati win in MotoGP 2013?" No. Definitely not. No way. No chance. Nada. "Maybe in the wet?" Not in wet, flood, monsoon or merely damp. There are riders who excel in wet weather on bikes with better front-end feel and none of the Ducatis will get even close to them. Ducati's 2012 bike could not beat other 2012 bikes, so it has zero chance of beating the 2013 bikes of Honda and Yamaha.
