Title: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: dusty on July 05, 2009, 07:14:38 AM Well, that was a spoiler of sorts, but at least I didn't tell you who rode the bikes and who got off hard! Both Lorenzo and Stoner looked to be in pretty significant pain after their respective high sides. Lorenzo, in particular, had a rough get-off. Hope they're both OK to ride 100% today. Also, in the line of spoilers, Nicky will sport a new paint job today to correspond with the release of the special edition 848 Hayden. 150 pieces will be made in a special red/white/blue scheme, each hand signed by Nicky. According to the story they were to be released immediately, so we should be able to see one this week at PJ's! See http://www.nickyhayden.com/index.cfm/p/news-july-09-ducati-nicky-848 (http://www.nickyhayden.com/index.cfm/p/news-july-09-ducati-nicky-848) for more details. He also has a new helmet design for the weekend ..... http://www.nickyhayden.com/index.cfm/p/news-july-helmet-09 (http://www.nickyhayden.com/index.cfm/p/news-july-helmet-09) When Scott said Yamaha I thought for sure Rossi so i would say he didnt give it away. Great high sides though. Cameraman didnt really catch Stoners high side. Awesome riding though you could tell everybody was going balls to the wall, rear ends shaking, traction control stretched to the limit! whoohoo watch out today for the #2 man! [bow_down] [bow_down] [bacon] You guys just suck! >:( HP, if you thought Cloner hadn't spoiled it, you just did. I am just glad I happened to watch the qualifying last night. KB and I had plans, but cancelled them at the last minute only because we couldn't record it, but we know that others do and would like to watch them at their leisure. Ok, enough ranting. So now can we keep the results of any races, (ie, MotoGP, AMA, Tour de France, etc.) here please. That way you can give anything/everything away and anyone who wants to wait can. Thanks guys. :-* [moto] [popcorn] [bacon] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: hunkypunk on July 05, 2009, 08:28:36 AM Quote You guys just suck! >:( HP, if you thought Cloner hadn't spoiled it, you just did. I am just glad I happened to watch the qualifying last night. So who did i spoil it for? Not you. So why do I suck? These were the time trials not the race.Breath in.......peace, breath out.....frustration Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: hunkypunk on July 05, 2009, 10:03:40 AM ...and if I did ruin it for anybody i'm sorry.....won't happen again
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: dusty on July 05, 2009, 10:14:35 AM Easy big guy....suck is just an expression. :-* I just thought this would be a good way to be able to talk about races, qualifying, etc. without spoiling it for someone who has to wait to watch for whatever reason. And, yes, it was just qualifying, but may have been more exciting than the race will be. We don't always get to watch these. No worries. [moto]
SPOILER! At least for you...Stoner had the fastest lap in warm ups this morning. ;D [bow_down] Warm ups: Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa, Edwards, Lorenzo, Dovizioso and Hayden. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: hunkypunk on July 05, 2009, 10:29:17 AM oK i'M CHILL BUT WATCH OUT FOR the big valentino guy to repeat! in fact that is my spoiler prediction! [popcorn]

[popcorn] Does that mean that your next bike will be a Yamaha ;D ;DTitle: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: bonfy on July 05, 2009, 05:37:11 PM So who did i spoil it for? Not you. So why do I suck? These were the time trials not the race. Breath in.......peace, breath out.....frustration Well, here I come bringing up the rear in the Chastisement of the Violators of Code. I finally had a chance to check the forum today and read everything I needed to know about yesterday's time trials and good hints of how it went today. I set my DVR, but I worked both days and haven't had a spare moment to enjoy them. That is for tonight when I get off. I will be levying oaths worthy of a smelly pirate hooker in your general direction, HP and Cloner. I can only hope that your discussions of time-trial and race mishaps will be limited to this thread which I will be sure to stay out of until I've had the unadulterated pleasure of watching them for myself. There's nothing more fun than watching my main man do what he does best, I still like the suspense of wondering when it's going to happen. Okay, said my piece, I feel better. [cheeky] Can't wait till tonight to see how it all went down. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on July 06, 2009, 05:44:24 AM and wasnt it ssomething of a race [bow_down] hats off to ur man bonfy he is something....

Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: kingbaby on July 06, 2009, 12:47:15 PM I wish I had known it was on Fox and not Speed...ugh. only got to record the qualifier Sorry bubba, I posted on a couple of different threads (after you headed up the mountain), but forgot to send you a smoke signal earlier for you to record a different channel. As if you cant tell by now who won, the Q was the best "race". My 1cent.Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: ducducgooseme on July 08, 2009, 04:26:24 AM its all good...i was a little ways from a tv anyways.

[bow_down] [bacon] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: kingbaby on July 18, 2009, 03:18:43 PM Lorenzo, Just buy one of the damn things.
Mouse, your man is back ! Maybe 8) Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: bonfy on July 18, 2009, 06:15:42 PM Qualifying http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/2009/GER/MotoGP/QP (http://www.motogp.com/en/Results+Statistics/2009/GER/MotoGP/QP) did u see my man got 4th OMG [bow_down] Congrats, girlfriend! Jorge made a decent showing, as well, today. Yesterday, not so hot. I imagine he's shot full of pain killers still. Hooray for our mutual guy, too,!! In fact, Stoner is who I always really want to win. If he's not going to win it, then it's all about Jorge. He just came onto my radar when our crashes seemed to be coinciding. I grew fond of him for his get-after-it spirit. He gives those guys a run for their money. Eager to see what tomorrow brings. :D Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on July 19, 2009, 02:16:12 PM and ur man is rocking [moto]
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: triplethreat on July 21, 2009, 11:52:13 AM randy depuniet... what a get off [roll]
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on July 21, 2009, 12:07:48 PM randy depuniet... what a get off [roll] and who is ur man? [laugh] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: bonfy on July 21, 2009, 02:08:14 PM randy depuniet... what a get off [roll] yeah, that was spectacular. I watched it in slow motion about nine times to see exactly what the tire, the bike, and the rider did. I was probably little more spellbound than I should've been. I just like to know what to expect. I replayed it for Scottish yesterday when he was up here as we were talking about cold tires and riding during the winter down there. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: Cloner on July 26, 2009, 07:28:45 PM OK...who wants to go first in the Fabrizio versus Spies comments column?
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: Cloner on July 27, 2009, 05:51:19 AM Suppo spills the beans on the decision to start the GP race on wets rather than slicks:
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77359 (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77359) Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on July 27, 2009, 06:25:15 AM OK...who wants to go first in the Fabrizio versus Spies comments column? idk, some people say it was all fabrizio fault, but the way been rides he cuts into the corner so there was no where for him to go.... i think it was a sucky but to fast move on fabs part but u never know if ben just intentional cut him off....so either way i see it.....but it was damn good riding and entertaining [laugh] but fab is my man!! i loved it when he had a sign saying "i love u ben" [laugh] Suppo spills the beans on the decision to start the GP race on wets rather than slicks: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77359 (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77359) now they will know better, that was so crappy, and they got laped :'( that has to be a hit to the ego.... THP was telling me that there was an argument between the crew of ducati and the riders anyone heard of this? i'll look around and see if i can find anything.. but that was a DAMN good race too.. Go Edwards a much deserved podium for him [clap] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: kingbaby on August 17, 2009, 09:10:08 PM We were guessing what lap he would crash on [roll] He's getting better.
Compaired to what? not sure. Oh yeah, Other people who could have a factory sponsorship and not crash every time the heat is on ... silly me. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on August 18, 2009, 12:28:57 PM oh my god did who-de-ha boy thats riding for stoner crash???
i mean i heard jorge did his usual... guess its time to go download it..... Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: dusty on August 18, 2009, 12:55:30 PM yes, he got taken out by Malandri (or some such spelling...)
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on August 18, 2009, 01:02:36 PM yes, he got taken out by Malandri (or some such spelling...) oooooh ouch!!! ya i need to watch it now Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: Cloner on August 29, 2009, 05:19:12 PM Well...for those who missed, Pedrosa qualified on Poll by a wide margin, then Lorenzo, then Rossi. First Ducati is Hayden in 6th nearly 2 seconds per lap off of Pedrosa's pace and over a second off of Lorenzo and Rossi.
There were a couple of crashes in Qualifying, but nothing serious. Looks like it ought to be a good race. Kingbaby and Dusty, I tried to call you guys to see if your place was still on for qualifying, but I got no answers. You guys still on for riding in the morning and racing at 1:00? Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on August 31, 2009, 06:31:25 AM and the best part...NICKY GOT A PODIUM [clap]
congtrats and much needed for him, hope ducati will stick with him for another season Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: Cloner on August 31, 2009, 12:02:10 PM I guess everyone has now heard that Valentino's crash Sunday was attributed to racing in a "dirty line". I'm now told, by an inside source at Indianapolis, that the "dirty line" was a tear-off. The poor guy took a wide line to set up a pass and ended up braking across a tear-off.
What a shitty way to retire from a race!! [bang] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: kingbaby on August 31, 2009, 04:10:24 PM I watched the replay 3 times today, and could not for the life of me understand how you can bump the front brake and exit stage left when your going that straight on one of those machines. [bang]
Thank you Senor. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: triplethreat on September 01, 2009, 10:21:31 AM i was so proud of nicky!!! and i made every attempt to anger every rossi fan i saw at indy!!! even made another ABR-any1 but rossi, buddy!!! the races were awesome the venue is rdiculous and the museum there... just bring a drool towel.. and if you sit on the front straight it is the loudest thing ever, the GP bikes just echo off the buildings and make so much noise
if you guys haven't seen it, the indy mile race was hardcore, those guys have some cajones, there was a massive wreck in the main that will probably be leeked out onto u-tube soon, keeep your eyes peeled, 2 bikes and a rider up and over the fence at over 100, insanity for a race that pays maybe 2g's but next year i think i'm just going to do miller and hit up the track day, AIRPLANEs and rental cars SUCK Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: dusty on September 01, 2009, 12:10:59 PM :D [popcorn]
That's great! Thanks for sharing all that! If you see that vid on youtube you can post it here, but will definitely keep an eye open for it. Do you have any pics you would like to post from your trip? Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on September 01, 2009, 12:59:24 PM me too Triple...i was way proud of him [clap]
and yes pics plz 8) Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: hunkypunk on October 25, 2009, 02:18:56 PM Man I could have kept up with Stoner today...except him on the Malaysian wet track and me on a dry track. Average speed was 147km.
Whos the MAN!!!!!!!!! whooooohooooooo I want to say great race even though it was kinda dull but it WAS a great race! and who'd a thunk my man 9 times world champion!!!! Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: kingbaby on October 25, 2009, 02:43:12 PM Great racing today across the board [thumbsup] World champ GP was the least exciting...And it was great [clap]
250 GP hands down was the exciting one (Ro & I's take). But Stoner walkin' the field was AWESOME! And if I were Fabrizio in WSBK I would sleep with one eye open. :o Nice chicken Val. They will be selling them in Italian pet stores like crazy! And if you get tired of it... Uuuum, dinner. Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on October 25, 2009, 03:13:11 PM they all were one of races... cant forget WSBK [moto]
Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: Zaster on October 25, 2009, 03:30:01 PM Didn't catch the WSBK action [bang]....anyone care to give a blow by blow recap [roll]

Threads called spoiler...Just sayin' [laugh] Title: Re: Moto GP (and other races) "SPOILER" Post by: DucMouse the Mighty on February 26, 2010, 10:24:12 AM im guessing we should resuscitate this thread again...

And if anyone thinks an 848 can out run a Japanese 600 (any of them), the answer is NO...at least not on a Saturday in Daytona. :-\ Flat track is on Speed Channel @ 4 today. |
