http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/220085/1/marquez-tempted-by-2014-chassis-switch.html I am sure I had read in the last few weeks that the 2015 motor would NOT fit into the 2014 chassis. Any one else read that any where?
So the engine is too aggressive the chassis is all wrong engine braking is too harsh ....looks like dorna needs to get busy re-writing the rules package mid-season
All I can say is I wish I could tell the difference for such small issues a different swing arm, etc....Of course, it could all be BS to cover up an extreme case of head issues....MM is clearly F-d up ,between the ears. But what can Honda do but pretend to make changes to allow him to get right with the bike.
Why do we rush to "head issues" so quickly? Is this the Gibernau effect? Of all the things that could possible be blame for the current position HRC and MM find themselves in, head issues would be the last I would arrive at.
I'm calling BS on head issues. MM has dominated the last 2 seasons. You don't instantly start falling apart. On top of that other Honda riders are having the same complaints. I think what makes it seem MM is lost is his win or bin attitude he willing to risk a crash in an attempt to win. That's either commendable or really stupid depending on your view
Or irrelevant. Overall, I don't think MM's win or bin attitude should come into question now. It has gotten him this far. His bones (body) will communicate to him on proper care, soon or later.
There is nothing wrong with his riding skills, unless HRC are telling him to at least finish races, which I doubt they are
Perhaps <spit> <spit> <spit> ... Lorenzo has upped his game? I don't like Lorenzo, but respect is due. Blech. Can't believe I just said that. I gotta take a shower.
I hesitated long in my orginal comment here and opted to leave JL out of discussion. There are plenty of haters here. We already had the VR clan here.
Yes, I'm sure the most talented rider on the grid, who won races from the back of the grid in 125 and Moto2 (and both of these championships), then went on to win the championship in his two first seasons of MotoGP (including a run of 10 consecutive wins from pole in the second season) must be really weak in the head! I'm sure the fact that all of the other factory Honda riders are struggling with the bike is only further demonstration of how much Marquez' head is the real problem here, too! The stuff we read on the internet sometimes... LOL
Stoner rides well on ill handling bikes like this new Honda. HRC could fly him over and give the kid some tips. Or just put Stoner on the bike and call it a day!
MM doesn't know how to lose like this. He's been dominant for the past few years and in Moto2. What ever it is is a true test of his mental ability and will power to bounce back. He's still extremely young and needs more experience other than winning all the time. I'm convinced that once he has it all sorted out he will come back stronger than anything we can imagine. He will be unstoppable.
True, but he's been off all season and still relatively fresh off surgery. Not to mention I HIGHLY question his motivations at this point.
Both the Moaner and Pedrobot have backed up Marky-Marc's issues with the bike. He's definitely struggling not being able to go balls out, conservative isn't exactly his M.O.
