No secret Toby is in Marquez' corner.

The kid is the real deal.

I originally thought he'd be a loose cannon...

but he isn't.

He's more amazing than all the rest of those lunatics. waytogo

It will be interesting to see what the race direction will decide on Thursday about the incident between Marquez and Pedrosa.

I didn't want to be the first to admit the same thing but since you've let the cat out the bag...

I cheer him on loudly! The kid is definitely the next big thing. We all thought that it was Lorenzo's time to dominate.

+1 The kid is awesome. He's on a great bike...sure. But if Pedrobot was up to MM's stuff he'd be winning races too on the same scooter. But he's not. Again, the kid's the real deal. Never, ever thought he'd rock M-GP the way he has. But he has. His hype coming in was like Lorenzo's. But as good as JL is the kid is living up to the hype. Shit, I thought KR, Sr. was a game changer in '78... which he was! This kiddo is the next game changer. waytogo Dolph bacon

What would be really cool would be to see a 2 up match race between the best aliens on the same scooter. Give them a POS like the Duc and let them go at it. Fun stuff for sure. Either way, the kid will be champ. Game over. Vino!

Just read news from Motogp that Marquez got penalized 1 point for the race incident
"@MotoGP: Marquez gets 1 penalty point for the Aragon GP clash with Pedrosa and doesn't score any Constructors Championship points for this race"

actually 'ab' - Honda is stripped of the 25 championship constructor points that Marquez would have scored for them, and is instead only awarded the points for Bautista's finish

Interesting health and safety message sent to Honda in there by the penalty. Interesting how the system previously caused concern, but Honda weren't made to fix it til now.

A single point is a warning to the kid, but wont hurt his championship unless he does it again. Not sure what I think about it, it was only a touch. Spose they want to warn him.

It seems a bit nanny state/pc. The kid was just trying hard. They must have been on the edge of lining MM up for a warning for awhile, and feel like they need to be seen to be doing something.
It appears a little precious, especially after seeing the film " Rush" the other day which reminded me of how far safety has progressed.

Not really. The 1 point to MM's license doesn't affect him, other than to remind him that he should ride as responsible as possible. They basically admitted that the 1 point takes into account the whole season and him doing a couple of questionable things (he is a rookie).

The 25 points to HRC has nothing to do with MM, but is a way to get them to fix the 2 problems with their bike's safety systems that were exposed by this incident.

Fortunately, the "point" against Marquez means absolutely nothing as he would need 608720938529085029867890275690286 points to be forced to start from the rear of the pack.

Just saw the complete press release, they also tagged Cortese for 1 point for his contact with DeAngelis, which resulted in DeAngelis crashing.

I think they're trying to make a point that a little bump and grind is OK, but knocking someone down is not.
I agree with that.
