    Eh, it's a BS comment. Mamola is absolutely a legend in GP racing no matter what his trophy count.

    Absolutely. It's kinda ironic that the guy known as Jackass seemed to have the most wisdom.

    I think people (including GP racers, apparently) get confused between achievements and overall impact on the sport. The latter is most important in becoming a legend, not just a trophy count.

    Mamola absolutely deserves to be named a MotoGP legend.

    I still have Mamola's "Outside leg dangle" from Laguna Seca, on the garage door...

    agreed.

    one could almost say Mamola is more legend than Stoner (i'm mostly kidding).

    Chango Something clever!

    Last forecast I looked at was only showing rain for Saturday, so Jorge will be starting from the last row of the grid, and Rossi will be hiding like a bitch from Márquez during Q2 if he gets out of Q1.

    Let's all hope that MotoGp does not turn into the WWE

    Yep. I lost some respect for Zarco. Mamola is probably the fastest guy never to win a title. Zarco has a ways to go before he qualifies to hold the mans sweaty jock strap, let alone criticize him...

    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    i love watching the guy ride, and i love his attitude/personality, and im of the opinion that timing and things outside of his control mostly contributed to him not getting a championship that he very much looked capable of and deserving of... but you ready to call Pedrosa a legend too? cause i'm sure not. so then what's the quantifier?
     
  15. I got Zarco and Marquez in a battle Royale in turn 1 gravel trap. Rossi ends up 3rd and they give Lorenzo a consolation ribbon for finishing the race.

    On the other hand, didn't it break down in Texas? :D

    He's got an interesting take on extended fuel cell/subframe design huh? Would be funny if it motors past the Monster/Graves bikes down that ginormous back straight.

    Hmm, I never even thought about that? Did it make it to TX, or did it just coincidentally break down at COTA? :crackup:
