Motoamerica at V.I.R.

I agree somebody should have gotten to him but it's not the point.

It's not about what happened it's about his general attitude towards MotoAmerica. Whoever said it nailed it, I don't think he wants to do this I don't think he wants to be here in US and it's showing.

And a professional thing to do would it be to air his grievances in private to the MotoAmerica officials not on the public forum which is he has done now twice in two back-to-back weekends.

To me it's really starting to look like he doesn't really want to do this and wants an excuse to get out.

 

Hmm. Can’t wait to hear what the statement is

 

I'm not defending the MA cornerworker issue, because I simply don't know. That said, I just timed it and it was for sure less than 60 seconds from time he crossed start/finish to the cameras showed him walking around. So he wasn't laying anywhere for 2 minutes like his post says.

 

FastbyKids protested him.

 

It seems like the same folks who are ready to stick a fork in SDK are willing to make excuses for Petrucci when they are both in a new series, on a new bike, riding different tires.

How about we give our boys the same grace we give riders coming here?

I'm actually glad Petrucci is here, and would love to meet him if I can make the Road America round, but the difference in how their circumstances are viewed is pretty glaring.

 

sounds like petrux is gonna see himself back to Europe either before the season is over or at a minimum wont return next year

 

Are big bore kits illegal in Jr cup??

lol uh oh

 

WTF FS2.
You start coverage and now have soccer highlights. Eat a bag of dicks.

 

Was this a standard teardown or was there a protest? If it was standard, how many others were torn down?

 

How many races has Petrucci been 2+ seconds off the pace and getting lapped this year?

 

No kidding

 

Not just highlights, but now an actual game.

 

Just pay the money for the live+...

 

No protest, top 5 were ordered to tear down to the crank, option to do it to today or do it by Laguna. We opted to do it immediately, passed inspection. Other team who opened theirs today did not pass. Three others elected to defer and were sealed.

 

Ouch. Any idea what was out of compliance?

 

It was extraordinary watching JG come through turn 3. Easy to see the difference when he was pulling time and when he was cruising.

When he pulled the gap on the boys he'd use all the corner and come through sliding the tire and stand it up right away. It looked like it was tying itself in knots but he did it so consistently. Looked like a 990 gp ride tbh.

When he settled in and started cruising it was on rails. So smooth. Not a ripple.

Entire race he was able to stand the bike up sooner than anyone else. Dunno how he was doing it.

Dude is a phenom. He could make that bike do whatever he wanted.

 

So I guess this answers the DQ question?

 

None, but the general sentiment remains the same. Either both, or neither...cut the same amount of slack, IMO.

If anyone gets extra time its SDK... younger, less accomplished racer. The MotoGP race winner isnt getting a pass because of tires, bike/data, or tracks. He's the one I would expect to figure it out and produce, no excuses (which he has done by the way, produce).

 

Based on the number of people here that have issues with the live streaming, that would be a hard no.

 

You get to see all the races and honestly the issues are minimal this year. I've had as many issues with the MotoGP pass.
