MOTOGP » Austin MotoGP: Extra motivation for Valentino Rossi

@ Codger It's amazing what riders/Rossi can do when they really trust the front. To brake and bank that hard with dust limiting grip does tell a story about his confidence level.

MOTOGP » Austin MotoGP: Ducati heads into the unknown

@ Rhino Why not? They've (..meaning Ducati) earned every single ounce of criticism that they receive. They put themselves in this position because of their decisions years ago.

MOTOGP » Qatar MotoGP: Grid position 'cost Barbera dear'

Well Barbera, it would seem that all of your "supporters" have run into the shadows (or are in favor of another Ducati rider) now that you and Rossi aren't on Ducati's anymore. It leaves them nothing to juxtapose against, and everybody who mentioned how "underrated" you were and how you "showed Rossi how to ride the Ducati" (sarcasm) have left you out to dry. It was fun Hector!

MOTOGP » Rossi: Welkom '04 more special, Marquez 'better than me!'

@ Vicarious Welcome to the conversation. Here's my objective opinion of the situation. Rossi underestimated what needed to be done at Ducati, and he gave it two years. During those two years, the team was wrought with failed promises of new parts (despite receiving some of what they asked for. How timely is up for discussion), and that frustrated him. His time in MGP is coming to an end, so he chose to venture back onto a bike that is well developed to finish out his career. Had he had faith in Ducati, he might have stayed. Nobody in his shoes, with his level of achievement, would have chosen to piddle around on a 3rd rate bike for their remaining few seasons in GP.

@ Claes Broke the contract? Are you an imbecile? He satisfied his contractual obligations and CHOSE not to renew. Had you been in his shoes, you would have done the same thing.

MOTOGP » PIC: Valentino Rossi saved by brake protector

@ r Marquez mentioned that he was riding at the limit of the bike and almost lost it a few times. He had to dial it back. He also mentioned that emulating Pedrosa's style during the later laps was helpful in achieving this.

MOTOGP » Marc Marquez studies Pedrosa, Rossi

@ Vicarious Racer Just out of curiosity. Is Anderson Silva's method of "getting into other fighter's heads" a cheap and pathetic tactic too?

MOTOGP » Qatar MotoGP: Crutchlow 'frustrating' fifth after factory fight

@ RocketR1 Thanks for that. There have been a number of statements made that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the problem is either rider or set-up.
