MOTOGP » Dovizioso on Ducati: The bad point is now


“I prefer to speak about evolution rather than revolution and with this in mind first we want to evaluate the material developed in the second half of last year,” newly appointed Ducati Corse general director Bernhard Gobmeier had said in January. “I think that with this approach we can improve the performance of the bike in the short term, but we are also working on new solutions.” Well, the new boss's first words of wisdom have been instantly shown to have no credibility, he has no idea what he's talking about. Also,Dovi has turned 180 degrees from what he said a few weeks ago. Altogether now - " you can't polish a t(u)rd"

WSBK » Which is the best looking 2013 Superbike?


I really don't like all that black expanse on many of the bikes. Tha Alstare bikes and the MR Ducati look well in bold red and white. The Kawa is eyecatching in their signature green. It's a pity that so many others have neat colour schemes which are compromised by sponsors decals clashing with the basic design. So, for me, the most pleasing design is the Grillini DENTALMATIC BMW of Vittorio Iannuzzo - nice colours and clearly defined shapes. But I bet they would prefer it covered in sponsors stickers !

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi: We can fight


“Third of a second faster than Lorenzo the world champion! That is HUGE! The Yamaha camp must be wondering where do they find that time? Posted by RG500” Honda played down the advantages of their seamless shift gearbox, but it’s introduction coincided with Dani starting to win a higher proportion of races than he ever had before on the MotoGP Honda. A Yamaha statement a couple of days ago revealed that none of their MotoGP bikes have a seamless shift gearbox yet, but hinted that they had developed one. I’d guess that when it arrives it will have an instant effect on that third of a second.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi: We can fight


In a tweet today, Matthew Birt, MCN's MotoGP correspondent, quotes "Dovizioso just told MCN that Ducati needs to think about a new bike from the ground up. Need bigger and radical changes to try and improve" Another site quoted "Nicky Hayden admitted that Ducati appeared to have fallen even further back after the first two days of testing. He conceded that falling further away from the pace was a blow to morale. "It's still a bit frustrating to be so far away. Even further away than we ended last year, I guess," said the 2006 world champion. "It's really tough on all the guys and me. We don't really necessarily have anything major to test, nothing really new. We'll just test about with the stuff we've already got and see if we can make anything any better." Those quotes confirm that VR made a smart decision and that his assessment of the Ducrappy was the truth. His testing performance proves once and for all HE IS NO FRAUD.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Marquez wants the title, I like his attitude


The last couple of days have proved without doubt that Marquez is capable of riding his RC213V within tenths of the best riders in the world. We also know that he can be a bit too bold on occasions. Assuming he makes it beyond the usual first corner hiatus, if the leaders are separated from each other he will be able to hold his place in the high speed procession. However, if he and another rider get close enough to dispute a place there could be a clash between experience and gung-ho, and the outcome will be uncertain with a likelyhood of tears before bedtime.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Yamaha and Lorenzo have made M1 better


"i swear crash could put a story on here about kawasaki coming back to gp and one third of the comments would be b1tching about stoner, one third b1tching about rossi and the rest might actually be about the subject. its really tiring sifting through dross ladies. Posted by TheBiscuit " Well said mate. Stoner is not in the game any more. The Stoner fans who taint every thread are just trolling to stir up arguements and past hatred. If we rise to their bait they will thrive. If we ignore their bait their purpose in life will wither. Let's just "disagree" with them, but not respond to their bile.
