Laguna Seca USGP } MotoGP 2013 (Spoilers)

Let's try and keep the actual FP/QP/Race stuff all in one place for the race weekend. This topic is not about where to camp, get tickets, how to score autographs, sneak in, find your dick, get laid, get souvenirs, or friggin park.

This topic is about on-track kick-ass MotoGP racing only. Cool?

NOTE: THIS TOPIC WILL HAVE SPOILERS. GO THE HELL AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I don't see any spoilers???????????

 

Will have. Future tense. And I stole the text from my 2009 thread.

OK, let e know when there are some spoilers.. I love those things...

 

No spoilers, huh. How about no tv coverage for the AMA race...

 

Marquez wins! How's that?

 

Pretty sure we've come close to exhausting that ...

I did try and get in touch with CBS Sports today to ask about it.

Marquez crashes, cal wins and rossi gets second, bradl third.

 

Lorenzo is on his way to Laguna. Brinkmanship in Motorcycle racing.

He is letting Pedrosa know that if he attempts to ride, then Lorenzo will too......who's tougher? It time to nut up or shut up!

Awesome....

 

Bat Boy wins and announces his signing with Ducati. English fans go coo coo for cocoa puffs.

 

He better be prepared to ride then. Honda has already announced that Dani is good to go and plans on racing, unless something something strange occurs between now and Friday

 

I'm gonna wait till Saturday evening before making any predictions this time.

 

Marquez high sides on the opening lap going into turn 1, taking out Pedrosa.

Lorenzo and Crutchlow celebrates one lap to early.

Rossi wins.

 

Both of those broken little jockeys are going to "try" to ride.
I gotta wonder if they'll actually fight, or just phone it in to salvage points.

 

Nicky steals new frame from Dovi, welds up new steering stem and shock mount in his motorhome, programs the electronics himself, and dusts the field by 20 seconds.

You heard it here!

 

George takes his usual flight in T5.

Dani doesn't fare so well in turn 6.

 

My money is on a repeat podium from Germany, just in a different (TBD) order. The cripples will round out the top 5.

 

Weather looks cool-ish, but in a way ideal for tire selection as it's not expected to change much over the weekend. I really like Laguna when it's like this.
