Some of that is happening regardless. Any guy who speaks candidly says Marc is superhuman. Well, except Vale.
Wonder what Marquez's leathers looked like dragging his knee with some of the weight of the bike on it for so long. This is the second or third time I've seen a similar style save like that recently, seeing the leathers twist up dragging like that, would suck to have a seam tear up at that moment
My man setting track records. Honestly though. Good to see someone finally giving MM a fair fight. Even better that it’s my favorite rider. All he needed was to feel comfortable on the bike
To be fair, take Rossi, OG, Jorge the guy that knocked him off the throne and MM who now sits on the throne out of the race and it would appear that Pedrosa is the man and Cal is worthy of a factory ride. So it’s really all about perspective
I think Cal is just upset so many have stolen his move today, so he will just finish the race at a slower pace in protest.
In usuall ducati fashion, it takes 2 years to get a rider what he asks for. Jlo still has it apparently.
Literally in the nick of time. What like an hour before his first win on the Ducati? Not writing this year off yet but next year is shaping up to be an interesting battle within Honda
Don’t underestimate the power of confidence. The only difference between this race and previous vintage JL check outs is that MM was keeping it closer. Those lap times were all within what 0.4 including the track record. Without MM, JL would have been out of sight like old times
@HPPT looks like your man finally came good. He looked like the man many expected to see two years ago.
