MotoGP | MAL | Sepang | 2018 | Nov 2 - Nov 4

Hehe man the Uccios are sure quiet! Someone call Cannoli and check on the poor fella.

 

So it's pressure when you lose the front, but not when you lose the rear?

I thought he was in control during the whole race and expected Marquez to crash first, but obviously the pressure was indeed on the other side.

Today was even more brutal than usual. Fading back one position at a time prepares them emotionally. This was savage.

 

Especially after they had surely convinced themselves of a win. Probably had their posts already drafted. Then to have it all ripped away like that.

Like grilling the perfect steak only to drop it as you take it off the grill and have it land on a pile of dog poo then the dog rolls on the steak and the poo. Ruined steak and a shitty dog. That's what their race was like.

 

I think Rossi was expecting Marquez to pass him at will and choked under pressure.

 

Huh?

 

VR choked? lol oh OK

kinda looked like the Yami TC wasnt quite upto the task at hand right there to me.

 

Did you watch it? The half hour transformation (which was pretty cool but way too long) or the bike stalling and not restarting?

 

That was an epic fail. And I predict a rule change for celebrations.

 

Yea the tc threw it away. LOL

 

it did break traction.

 

Two words: tire management.

 

yeah, the Yami TC failed there for sure. lol

 

edit: can't keep up with you.

 

ask the creator, it should be made to control all the variables of traction. I dunno, only presenting a reasonable doubt that 'VR caved under pressure' lol

 

Been a Rossi fan my whole life, my first helmet in 1997 was the 1/2 moon sun. He made a mistake and crashed, he's getting older and smarter(not wanting to get hurt)/ young guys are getting faster (don't care about getting hurt), its racing, hope he doesn't renew his contract and walks away as the most fun/ influential/ most talented motorcycle racer in my gen. (Unless that little Spanish bastard keeps it going!!!)

 

ahh c'mon! without you, I wouldnt even have an uccio hat to wear. Ha!

have plenty of Honda ones though.

 

Unless I'm crazy, all of the motogp threads have been really short ever since DirecTV dropped Bein. I haven't watched a race since. I keep saying I'm going to drop them and just get SlingTV, but I've been too lazy.

 

Gutted for The Doctor. Yamaha really needs to step up their game.

I can't even remember when I've been this disappointed in them... Probably back when Biaggi rode for them.

 

They won last week, led most of today's race until the rider shit the bed, and still put a satellite bike on the podium, and you're putting this on Yamaha?

 

Yup. This season has been horrible. Vin got the win last week, Rossi felt the pressure, the bike couldn't keep up.
