MOTOGP » Catalunya MotoGP, Barcelona - Race Results


TrueFan, Yes, I think Lorenzo did the requisite set up work to ensure he could manage the race distance well. Pedrosa's battle with Marquez was mighty. He sustained great pressure and never really lost his rhythm or line, and Marquez's "moment" was a great display of a confidant and competent rider who will let the bike shake its head and then settle down into a rhythm again. I think you may be correct. Dani is riding extremely well, and the engine situation is clearly in Honda's favour.

MOTOGP » Catalunya MotoGP, Barcelona - Race Results


Well, I thought Rossi was quick and controlling his pace to look after the tires in the first half of the race. However, he was only able to close a little on the Hondas in the second half, who had adopted a similar strategy. The true star was clearly Lorenzo, who ticked off incredibly quick laps in the second half of the race as required. I do not think anyone manages tires better than Jorge.

MOTOGP » Pedrosa smashes pole record, Crutchlow second


The Yamahas were looking great, until Dani put in an incredible lap, out qualifying his teammate by quite a healthy margin. Dani got the job done when it mattered. I think the race will be special. Rossi and Marquez are fast, though neither qualified well. Cal is well placed, and Nicky, where did he come from? Instead of sniping at each other's favourite riders, enjoy that all three makes, including a satellite bike, are in the top seven.

F1 » Vettel extends Red Bull deal


Seb is young, and he is probably growing tired of hearing how he only wins because of the car he drives. So, a switch to another top team to prove his worth is natural. Name a top driver who has not? Most do, and so might he. I suspect he will move to Ferrari at some point in the future and if this move happens, will trigger quite the game of musical chairs. In two year's time the landscape of top drivers can change dramatically.

MOTOGP » Catalunya MotoGP: Rossi ‘Barcelona very important after recent results’


I agree that he is under some pressure. I think the top four or five are under pressure to perform. Dani has Marquez as a new benchmark, Marquez fell last race and might be seen as pushing too hard. Lorenzo is closely watching the progress of the Hondas, and Rossi, while fast, must be questioning his ability to ride at the very sharp edge of the field. The next four races will reveal much.

MOTOGP » Rossi: Bautista 'closed the line, but I was in front'


Many of these posts are idiotic and unfortunately overshadow the others who understand the sport and the extreme difficulties it places on all riders. One mistake and there is a posse willing and ready to declare that rider's career is over. Here's a thought.... Crash should provide a veto button. If ten or more readers mark a comment as idiotic, that person is banned from making further comments for a week. Just a thought....
