Jerez, Spain | MotoGP 2014 (Spoilers)

Jesus Christ! Pedrosa is one of 3 people who currently can run at the pointy end consistently and some of you are dogging him. I wonder how your careers would look if you were put under the microscope. Probably not nearly as good as Pedrosa does...

 

How? Are Márquez, Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Bautista, Smith, Espágaro, Bradl and Hayden going to crash themselves out of the championship?

 

Bautista? ABSOLUTELY.

 

Hayden???????????? He needs a bike with 25hp more. Then he needs to win 5 races.

 

Guess which part of your question is really, really dumb.

 

Rossi is about to step it up and win 8 consecutive races. I'm calling him tonight to remind him I've got $50 dollars on his championship.

 

Three of his teammates have won titles.
Two on their first attempt.
One in his rookie year.

Dani is Dovi minus about a tenth a lap, and any real structural rigidity to speak of.

Dani will end up....second....all time....in premier podiums. And likely never a title. The bridesmaid thing isn't bashing. Inconvenient truth

 

In the press conference today, Cal said that he watched the Argentina race at home, on BT Sport, and that he turned into an arm chair racer and thought to himself "I could have won that race."

 

Cal is great. I will have to watch that press conference, he's always good for a laugh.

I remember they interviewed him, Pedro, and CEO. They asked "what do you like in a woman". Pedro and Lorenzo gave some BS political answer about liking intelligent women. Cal said "I like a great bum, Lucy's got a nice bum. I think I'll go see her right now."

 

Pedrosa was also funny today.

The reporter asked Pedro, JLo and Rossi "What is the secret to beating Marquez here at Jerez?"

Dani answered to much laughter; "You have to arrive in front of him."

 

wow you must be on some strange drugs

 

Um how is Dani Dovi?

Unless Dovi has won about 24 races I didn't see....

 

I love rossi but damn so many still hanging on to his ball sack, lol...his best days are behind him..he is showing signs of shining again but unfortunately there is a new kid on the block...

 

3 hours and 15 minutes until kick off. Fuks Yeah!!

 

My thoughts as well. Dovi isn't even close to Dani. Besides the top class wins, compare overall number of world championships.

 

Practice underway!!! Woot!!! I love back to back weekends!

Bradl on the Podium!! Heard it here first!

 

Wonder if esparagus can translate his speed to the front this weekend?

I'm guessing Herrin is still out of Moto2 with injury?

 

If one of the Factory Yamaha boys misses a few races (not wishing that on anyone), I really hope to see Asparagus on one of their bikes. Not just a one race thing where there's not enough time to setup and adapt, but a real shot. I think he would be a contender. Or he would run through their entire allocation of spares. Either way it would be entertaining.
