MotoGP | 2020 | Round 2 | Spain | Jerez | July 24-26

Hahahaha I will never go there with that man and "those tires" I mean he Flys on them. Would be cool to see them throw on some World Superbike rubber and see what happens.

 

Viñales got schooled in battle today. You're not going to pass Rossi by braking before he does while you are behind him. Viñales was clearly the faster rider but if you can't make that pass, you don't deserve the open track. Especially if you have the same by. It's not like he was being held up by Ducati power. And he was behind because he screwed up in the first place. So, good on Rossi.

 

You forgot the asterisk

 

The one with a pack of riders stacked up behind Rossi while .25 got away.

 

Quoted for posterity.

 

He's a closet Uccio.

 

Yep and most of them unable to pass. Rossi held class today and schooled them.

 

That sums it up pretty well, if Vinales ever expects to win he needs to make that pass.

 

Rossi had total racecraft. He made that thing as wide as a semi. I am NOT a big Rossi fan, but jeezus, what a ride in extremely tough conditions. And 41 years old!
He deserved to be on the podium for sure.
Brno should be really intense. Isn't that what we all want to see?
I loved MM saying "I will start training in about an hour" in his interview. Know what? I believe him!
Far from an asterisk, this could very well turn out to be a phenomenal season in MotoGP

 

I got my hands on a couple of sets of moto2 three lap dunlops after Indy. Wish I could have done them justice.

 

His overtraining could be his downfall if he doesn't let that arm rest

 

When I was in the service, we used to say that the old guys joined the R.O.A.D.s program as they neared retirement. Retired on active duty. I'm concerned that Dovizioso has signed up.

 

Vinales has consistently shown that he struggles to battle other riders. He needs to get out front early to run his preferred lines. Put him in traffic and he’s really out of his element.

 

I think that Dovizioso will make a few people eat their words as the series moves away from Jerez.

 

I hope so. I have always admired his journeyman approach to racing. No show, all go.

 

yup and even he is not upset with 6th at that track.

it’s never been a track Ducati has much success with.

let’s see after Red Bull Land

 

Im guessing Rossi figured something out with the tires! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

Awesome job for Fabio Q as well

 

On a more important note, Bradley Smith scored points.

 

guy finishes second in a MotoGP race.


‘His racecraft sucks”

-poster on an amateur road race forum 2020



between that and I’m in better race shape than an 8 times GP champion because I can bench press twice my body weight, you people are throwing out some doozies.

 

A “pack” of riders?

he was battling with one dude all race. Running defensive lines holding him off for most of the race.


As someone earlier said, you don’t watch much racing do you?
