MotoGP | 2021 | Round 9 | Assen| Netherlands| Jun 25-27

F1 did it first, Dorna had to follow. I don't like it, obviously Darren Binder didn't like it. I chuckled when he said "fuck you" with the camera on him close up. Wonder if he got a talking to?

Misano -- the scene of the tire warmer debacle. I still think he would have won that race were it not for the Barbera-ism.

 

Yes, that's the article I read, not confirmed. We got time, fingers crossed!

 

Its funnier than that. I guess he said "fuck you, poes" which is aussie for cunts. Lol

 

South African for cunt.

 

Yeah, he probably would’ve. Dani lost at least 2 titles to bizarre bad luck and 2 more to getting hurt where someone heavier would’ve walked away. Does he even have OEM collarbones anymore or are they all titanium?

The cut traction control wire highsiding him into orbit is probably still the most randomly strange accident I’ve seen in GP.

It always cracks me up a bit when people hold him up as the example of a “good #2”. Dani was better than anyone on the current grid save Marquez and Rossi. FQ might turn out to be as good, we’ll see.

 

All true, but he'll NEVER get a pass from me for crashing out Nicky en route to the world title.

Cheers,

Dave

 

This pic is worth a million words...

 

probably just 2....I'm Done

 

I often use Dani when talking about #2 riders because of my perspective, I started following GP closely around 2015. By that point Marc had a couple titles and had become HRC’s favorite son. I appreciate how Dani even when he was no longer the main focus of the team went about his business in a professional manner. The anti-Vinales if you will.

 

I'm also a Dani fan. If you haven't had the opportunity to check out Hitting the Apex (note to self, check out what Mark Neale is currently doing), I recommend it, it came out in 2015. Dani is totally zen.
