MotoGP Qatar Race | 2018

yeah we saw how well Josh did in his moto 2 races. Thats all Simon needs to do is crash a bike thats not his on a tack he has never been on.

 

And has been for years.

 

The CEO said he never had to use it with the Piano Company, but it is very necessary of the Pasta Machine. Maybe he shouldn't, since he's doing pretty terribly.

 

But I am pretty sure he could curb stomp the guys that are shit talking him. I would far rather have someone like him that struggles (but will get better) than a smooth talker that doesnt know much. Anyone remember the Cameron Steele era of supercross. Now that was painful...

 

+Mladin, Spies and many world level builders, industry reps, and team owners. Not to denigrate a former 500cc GP winner who should definitely be allowed to grow into his new role, IMO.

 

I would have never guessed that from his racing resume, you know, WSBK and GP winner, and shit. But if you've personally ridden with him, that's a whole 'nother level of credibility right there.

 

As good as those guys are, they don't have a GP win on their resumes.

 

It's Suzi Perry. Put down the bong hippie!

 

+1. Crafar won on a 500cc bike no less, beating Doohan, Biaggi, Krjr and his super moto style team-mate...Gary McCoy

I like Suzy. I think the riders and teams like her, too, which gets her some access. VR seems to genuinely enjoy speaking with her.

 

That’s like it helps to have the skill of being able to back in a semi truck in one pull, when you’re trying to propose to a supermodel with an IQ above 120.


Crafar might be fast, but he surely ran fast against a glass door lately.

My 2.5yo can do better interviews.

 

Hey I'm not the one trashing an onboard lap for a 500 gp winner. But yes, I am the ultimate authority goddamnit.

I'd like to see that, all those guys are kick ass. But the guys that make it to MotoGP are a cut above the rest. Spies would do it though, if he's a beeber.

I did the two up with Wyman, that's a really cool way to see how a top level rider does the thing, for those of you that get the chance.

 

Her interviews with JLo in the 250 days were funny. She called him Gorgeous George and he played along. He was almost likeable back then.

 

I would normally laugh at this... but I happened to be in mexico this weekend and got to watch qualifying on ESPN 3 and all the races on ESPN 2... really wish it was that easy in the states...

 

The problem with Simon is that usually people work their way up to the highest level gig, and Dorna thought it was a good idea to start him at the highest level and basically sink or swim. Not sure that's the greatest idea.

 

Yeah??? but has she won a motorcycle race???

 

Crafar the Kiwi is clearly no slouch on a bike but I still stand behind my statement that today he's 17 years removed from competitive racing, is a hair away from being 50 years old, and put him on a track where everyone is familiar and my money is on Hayes, Herrin, et al....

I also don't know why he thinks being a former rider opens so many doors for him versus someone like a Dylan - these guys get pointed to a microphone by the Dorna official and know they have to go over and talk - that's BT Sport, National coverage reporters, MotoGP interviewers, etc... it's not like they pick and choose who they speak to with the exception of grid walks pre-race and possibly a candid chat (like he alluded to with Vale in his comments).

I wish him well and on the upside, does he have a lot of room to progress in that job.

 

Did anyone happen to see what the final word was on Marquez' rear brake in moto2?

 

Cold water?

Bring it on
