ehsnils Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Anyone interested in MotoGP? At least - right now Rossi has a 30 point lead over Lorenzo with four races left. Will he be able to stick to that and win his 9th championship? And a rumor is that Rossi is going to Ducati 2011. What do you think about that?

KartRacerBoy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 After Portugal I think the lead is less than 20 pts for Rossi over Lorenzo. 18 pts? MotoGP is the best pure racing there is. I wish they didn't have traction control but then I've never been high sided at triple digit speeds! Rossi is a god. He's like Pete Sampras in that no matter how down he looks, he manages to pull it out of the crapper by race end. And an off day is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 i follow it loosely, i haven't been able to keep up with it as much lately. i rarely have time to watch the races now and i don't have a DVR. i'm not a fan of the website that much either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I told my 6 year old daughter that MotoGP was ballet on wheels. She is taking ballet classes so this intrigued her. We watched the race together this past weekend and she said she wanted to watch the next race. Of course, she's a girl so she may just be sucking up to me as part of some evil woman plan to manipulate me. She is her mother's daughter. Empress of Manipulation.

Gmachine Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 125 / 250 / 500cc 2 strokes 990 / 800cc 4 strokes. Rossi will go down in history as the only person to have won world championships in all those classes. The current 800's with all the electronic rider aids,allows more of the 250 style riders to stay closer to Rossi these days. Remove those aids and go back to 990's. Rossi would continue to win championships till he was 50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 2 weeks left until the season starts! And since Rossi still is active he isn't qualified yet for the MotoGP Legends list: http://www.motogp.com/en/MotoGP+Legends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ducatti really is lost in the woods, aren't they? Even Rossi can't ride their beastly bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Going from memory here: Didn't Ducati change to carbon fiber frames? No flex makes them too hard to ride fast - even for Rossi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmachine Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Today's wet race at Leman's was amazingly exciting . Was standing up in my living room watching the Stoner vs Rossi battle. Glad to see the two shake hands after the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the two shake hands after the race. Anyone that thinks Rossi has lost his skills in the past 2 yrs is slightly delusional. I saw replays of the battle. Good stuff. MotoGP is the best racing in the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmachine Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Happy to see old man Rossi still has skills. The new kid Marquez Is raising eyebrows as well. Gonna be a sizzler of a season I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It has got to suck to be Dani Pedrosa. He's tried for so long to be WC and he finally gets a dominant bike, only to have Marquez as his rookie teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
