Wow...that is an actual bombshell! Hoping they don't take as long as Triumph to show us the real deal.

 

That's just MMs bike for next year

 

Ducati just wants a video of MMarquez doing a backflip on their dirt bike.

 

"Choked" right into a world championship last year. Poor guy. Maybe he'll get good someday. /sarcasm

 

alright since you guys can’t seem to understand that having a substantial lead and losing it multiple times in two seasons I consider choking… he recovered and won but he still fumbled and choked a few times on the way… there is no other way to look at it… and again I like Pecco a bunch…

arguing on the internet and all but damn… what do you call what VR46 did a Valencia in 06?

 

Valencia is the worst track to have as the final.

The most consistent rider won the chip that year

 

wow, while I completely agree and love the way it ended nobody can claim that Rossi didn’t choke by crashing out by hisself when he didn’t even have to win… I’m sure he’d agree… that and blame Elias for beating him the one race…

glad we can discuss and define choking

 

Losing. I only call it choking when the Uccios blame Elias for "giving" Hayden the championship. But, it was choking, because that was losing. Fortunes go up and down through the year. It's only the end result that counts.

 

terms and conditions I guess… depends on your outlook and goals…

The irony of us discussing a term for Pecco losing his lead by bad finishes when he has the worst tag line in the history of taglines with #gofree… I understand he’s trying to say ride loose as he has an issue letting go and doing that at times but you’d think they’d have come up with a better one

 

What?

You mean there aren’t asterisks after the results when MM was too injured to compete?

 

that things missing the choke altogether… better pump the hell out of it

 

I do not miss carbs. On cars, trucks, or motorcycles.

On another note @BigBird we need a WSBK race thread. Last race this weekend! Hopefully GG finishes strong on the Beemer.

 

I’m rebuilding a carb for a good friend, on a Ford, 9N I think it is, tomorrow… it’s as big as a small chainsaw… probably weighs 20 lbs… I’ll see if I miss them after that

 

Wasn’t it Fabio that blew the lead last year and choked, not Pecco?

 

they both did I a few times iirc… not positive though… either way… I knew better to post anything to hurt feelings but did it anyway… here’s to some great racing and hoping that Bez capitalizes on anyone that succumbs to pressure or makes bad decisions…. Or chokes… in the rest of the races.

 

Pecco will hold on to it this year.

 

The Rossi nutswingers are sharpening the pitchforks and lighting the torches with this one!

 

I think Bez is finished for this year, he's 69 points back. Pecco has a 27 point lead, it's his to lose.
