Post by: MadDuck on October 11, 2013, 08:36:25 AM Not that I'm a fan of his but Danny boy better ride like his ass is on fire.

WELL...I don't think he is far from it.... Quote ....When sitting on the bike I have quite a lot of pain, as the seat is very hard, so we shall see if a few more anti-inflammatories can help to alleviate the issue. We might also add a small cushion underneath my leathers, in order to absorb the bumps that we get when riding"... taken from the quote machine on SBKPlanet.com Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)

Tough conditions for qualifying, but Marquez found a way to go even faster. Dani?? stick a fork in him already. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 13, 2013, 04:56:58 AM Dani?? stick a fork in him already. Not so fast my friend. The Turd of old showed up today. He checked out early. Lorenzo rode like Marquez trying to get in his head and the kid most likely loved everything second. Rossi with the Sic flag [clap] Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 13, 2013, 05:41:44 AM Sepang is cursed. Just watched the Moto2 "incident". Just in case anyone has not watched, no one was seriously injured, but it was quite a nasty domino effect of 4 bikes.

Nicky looked like he wanted to kick the Duc. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)

how the hell mm got that bike stopped and turned into 15 i'll never know. freakin amazing. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)

Post by: ducpainter on October 13, 2013, 02:42:49 PM yep, his only choice is to try to force MM to stay behind him. that aint gonna happen [evil] While it isn't a mathematical certainty...i wonder if he'll close this out next weekend. I'm not seeing anyone taking it away. It's up to the kid to lose it, and he shows no signs of cracking. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Spidey on October 13, 2013, 02:45:10 PM From crash.ent The contest finally ended when Marquez claimed the runner-up position from Lorenzo with an inside move of his own at the turn leading onto the back straight. Lorenzo tried to brave it out around the outside, but was forced to back off when Marquez drifted out to the kerb on the exit. It was only that pass that Lorenzo felt was borderline.
“It was different [to the pass where they did touch] because then he left me room and I thought I have to try [on the inside]. But at Turn 14 he didn't leave me space and if I didn't close the throttle we could have touched. The other passes were clean.” ----------------------- Seriously?!? Jorge's lone complaint about MM's riding this weekend was a pass where MM didn't even touch him? George basically said "he ran it so wide that I had to check up and I couldn't pass him. It was unfair that he blocked me, and therefore it's not 'clean' racing." My Lord. This isn't high-speed knitting or your weekly 200 mph book club, you doucheball. It's make the beast with two backsin' motorcycle racing. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Spidey on October 13, 2013, 02:45:58 PM i wonder if he'll close this out next weekend. That's up to Dani. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Triple J on October 13, 2013, 03:10:26 PM JLo is whining more that Stoner ever did. What a crybaby. Seriously...mad because MM didn't leave him room on exit...fack! JLo apparently thinks he gets paid to do trackdays! [laugh]

that might become my favorite line, ever. if only he would just let me win!! waaaaaaa! this shit is made all the more absurd by, oh, everything he did on a 250. what a tool. and then there's: Marquez smiled as he listened to those comments, then gave his opinion: “In one overtake I felt some contact [from Lorenzo]. But it was ok. Like this is the racing, no? He overtook me on the inside. I didn't expect it. We had some contact, but you know in that moment it was so exciting.” http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/196973/1/lorenzo_light_contact_marquez_it_was_exciting.html (http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/196973/1/lorenzo_light_contact_marquez_it_was_exciting.html) Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)

[Dolph] Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: The Architect on October 14, 2013, 09:30:10 AM Once Marc passed whiney-pants-JLO I was sure he was going to catchup to china-doll-Pedrosa, especially after the side slow he was putting on. But he didn't? Did he let him go? Was that Marc's way of saying "there, you feel better now?"
Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 14, 2013, 09:31:26 AM the Turd has always been batshit fast once he has clear track.
Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Triple J on October 14, 2013, 09:41:19 AM I think MM knew that to pass Pedro he would have had to really push to close the gap. Given the championship standings, he figured it was better to finish second than to risk a crash trying to get an unneeded first.
Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: gm2 on October 14, 2013, 11:04:24 AM it was unlikely he could catch him. he no doubt used a bunch of tire with george, and to carlos' point there are many occasions like that where you just aren't gonna catch dani. the gap was too big by the time he got to 2nd.
plus he said his goal was to finish in front of jlo. done. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 14, 2013, 11:09:29 AM He probably tried to narrow the gap for a few laps after passing the "new and improved" whiner (title should be taken away from Stoner). After pushing as much as possible and realizing that the gap just was not shrinking, he settled into a groove he could manage easily enough.
Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: thought on October 14, 2013, 04:27:35 PM Wow... racing in MotoGP, who knew it could happen.
Great first couple of laps and Lorenzo really has to get that stick out of his ass at this point. MM bumps, it's dangerous, Lorenzo bumps it's ok... but then MM doesnt bumps and it's dangerous... getting to be a bit too much. Dani did a great job once he got away but as always... he's going to always be the bridesmaid, never the bride at this point. Starting to feel bad for the guy. He's got the speed, just things seem to never work out for him at the very last second. In some ways it's worse than Spies's luck... at least Spies never sat on the edge of winning a championship to lose it all. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: koko64 on October 14, 2013, 05:13:07 PM Stop it, you're making me feel a tiny trace of sympathy for the little one, ummm..., nah [laugh].
Truth is, despite his bad luck, he has been the Repsol golden child for a long time, but didnt get the results. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 15, 2013, 02:24:29 AM His racecraft while having to catch up is lacking. He's always been able to dominate if he gets the wholeshot. He simply is not capable of battling back on a consistent basis.
Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: gm2 on October 15, 2013, 03:03:46 PM operative word being 'consistent'. altho 2012 was pretty damn good.
but... he has consistently been in the top 3, which means he gets lots of airtime even when he's not winning. and he's spanish. until alex marquez is ready he probably has a job. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: ab on October 15, 2013, 05:47:13 PM Great race. I have never really supported Lorenzo but I was hoping he got this one but alas. MM is spanking everyone pretty much. I thought like Stoner MM was gonna try to get to Dani. I guess it's only Stoner that has the win it or bin it attitude n exactly why he is missed

I guess it's only Stoner that has the win it or bin it attitude n exactly why he is missed I actually liked that MM took a step back... it shows racecraft to me. He's willing to let the red mist die down to make sure he wins the championship. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Triple J on October 15, 2013, 06:14:47 PM I guess it's only Stoner that has the win it or bin it attitude n exactly why he is missed Stoner only had the win it or bin it attitude on the Duc...because he had no choice due to the shit front end feel! [laugh] MM has every bit of attitude that Stoner did...maybe more. It's a shame we won't see them race each other. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)

[laugh] MM has every bit of attitude that Stoner did...maybe more. It's a shame we won't see them race each other. Remember last year when Stoner bit it at last lap a few corners before almost winning. Or am I mistaken? Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!) Post by: Triple J on October 15, 2013, 07:28:29 PM Remember last year when Stoner bit it at last lap a few corners before almost winning. Or am I mistaken? He may have, I don't remember. MM also wadded it this year after riding his ass off to get past Pedrobot (for the lead I believe, but maybe 2nd). MM wants to win as much as any racer around...probably more than most. Nothing against Stoner at all...like I said, I wish he was still around. Title: Re: 2013 MotoGP Round 15-Sepang ( Spoilers!)
