Yea! Hmmm? it always seemed weird to me how at the end of most races he could just power past poeple down any straight he wanted too? Lets see if he can, Brake later and open throotle sooner in MotoGP??? It sure as hell looked like his bike was always way faster than most on the grid???? Lets hope no foul play is found.
It'd be easy to see in the data, which IRTA keeps. But, they think he won a championship by tuning the ECU a little better during upshifts? Seriously?
I remember similar accusations of cheating against Andrea Iannone in 2010, when he was flying past everyone else. Turned out he was doing exactly what Marquez' team says Marquez does - getting off the brakes and back on the throttle sooner than all the other riders.
I am going to throw this out there since this bbs is the place for wild cover up conspiracies. He rides for HRC, HRC supplies "sealed" engines for the whole field. So couldn't HRC supply him with extra special "sealed" engines? I blame it all on the Illuminati.
The engines are randomly distributed, and not by HRC. Marquez speed on the straights always did look suspicious to me though.
I don't care how much safeguarding, random handouts or what the talking heads spew, if they wanted to cheat they could. Just depends on how many people would need to be in on it. Do I think it's true? Shit if I know and hell if I care.
I hate to jump on this band wagon. I know he weights nothing and a half but darn, his bike always seems a little more equal than the others...
Every time I watched a Moto2 race I waited for this topic to come up and this is the first I've seen of it. It was crazy watching those helicopter shots of him blowing past bikes, and as good of a rider as he is it looked like he was holding guys up in the corners at times. Must have been frustrating for his competitors.
