Thank you for proving my point. At the same age, Marquez has surpassed most of Rossi’s triumphs by the same age. Good job. You get a gold star today. Rossi did have a 10% higher win to start ratio across his first 100 starts but like I said earlier, Marquez has the higher pole ratio.
He was doing better at Suzuki. But he thought he was better than Suzuki. So fuck him. He'd have a rack of wins if he'd stayed. I like watching him suffer.
Have you noticed the number "9" hardly ever gets brandished in discussions anymore? It's like life is slowly getting squeezed out of them.
You should petition to get Roberts, Schwantz, Rainey and Doohan's names removed from that MotoGP Legends trophy thing.
After watching how Suzuki pulled the rug out from Bautista and their history of pulling out of the series without commitment who can blame MV. He’s outperforming his teammate on a bike that hasn’t been receiving development like the others but Quarteraro just happens to be pipping him. It is what it is.
I don't understand the "have to win on multiple brands" argument. If I were Marc, I would stay with Honda as long as they put a winning bike under me, my entire career if that's how it played out. I'd be after race wins and championships and would not give a rats ass what bike it was on.
Fake news. Feel free to double check the real numbers (in all seriousness, I didn't double check every season)-
Somewhat boring race, and gutted for Fabio, but he rode great and his day on the top step will come. His attitude was great in parc ferme, and he seems to be handling the pressure just fine.
