Are you being sarcastic?
seriously...
'cuz the little puke rides like an asshole.
Just sayin'.
no, i was being serious. that cut off your nose thing is a dick move.
however i also very much agree with this
I agree Marquez rides like a maniac, but the sport needs another hotrod character. Guys like that carry viewership and keep sponsors interested. Marco Simoncelli ruffled a lot of feathers and rode like a dick sometimes too. Its too bad he passed, because I would have loved to see those guys on the same track. Fast, cocky, on the edge riders have their role. Those type of riders will have no problem stuffing it up the inside of Lorenzo in the future, which is what you need to beat him. It happened to Rossi.
Lorenzo came into GP as a fast, cocky, over the edge rider. Simoncelli was the same, but even more prone to jam the bike into tight spots.
Lets not forget how amazing that save was prior to resuming his race like nothing happened. I like Marquez. The dude has balls. Bring it on.
and this
Was thinking about this last night, and I've gotta say....
Lots of spectators don't like the procession of MotoGP, complaining that there's no close racing.
There's close racing in SBK and Moto2.
But close racing means the bikes are *close together*.
That means they occasionally hit each other and fall down.
But then folks complain that they're knocking each other down.
i don't think the racetrack is a place to be polite (unless it's a track day, of course).
i also think the line between not polite and out of line is pretty damn thin. so at times we have these discussions. and once in a while it's make the beast with two backsing out of line and you get slapped (marquez, qatar).
i think he made an amazing save and was trying to win. i think he was not trying to take out pol. i think pol was out of shape and it couldn't be helped. ergo, racing incident.
i also totally believe that he didn't know pol had crashed. racers run into each other all the time. usually no one crashes, sometimes they do. for the guy in front, you just about never know one way or the other. that just happened at, what, donington, miller? someone drove right into the back of melandri. no one fell down. if whoever that was had, marco wouldn't have known it til later.
either way, i'd much rather have these discussions than watch a processional. also why i was so (of course..) bummed for spies in barcelona but also so totally stoked for 2 laps. he was riding like himself again, however briefly. just the tip-in to T1 from the start had me out of my seat.
