    Meh, it was mildly funny at the start. Now it's just annoying.

    So....Mav.....contract year eh? Probably the one guy on the grid I would have never picked for a sprint win. Sick as a dog too. Someone get the team to cough on his food for every round.

    Marc is sure getting comfy on that Duc too.....That first W might come a bit quicker than halfway like I'd predicted.

    He looks disciplined at the moment so it'll be interesting to see if he can stay zen as the season starts to heat up.

    I noticed the same. After having that moment mid race he seemed to take a step back, gather his shit up, and run a pace that he was capable of. Very different from the Marc of old who would have just kept it dialed up to 11 to get back to the front at all costs or crash trying.

    That and he's not having to over ride the bike like he did the Honda. Notice where they all were that race?

    You guys are all blind. Marquez clearly got his ass kicked by a little kid on a ten year old showroom stock CBR 600.

    Top 3 in the championship at seasons' end w/3-4 wins. 1st win at COTA of course. Am i'm NOT an MM93 fan but not against a good ole fashion comeback story either.

    Might see if that win tomorrow if not at Austin; his race pace looked very nice.

    That might’ve been one of the best braking moves we’ve ever seen from him. Over the crest into the downhill off camber from a state back :beer:

    This is the first time that I'm aware rush that you have said something right about him. He said that he engaged his ride-height device when he would normally do it on the Honda, too early for the Duc, and crashed. So you're exactly right, he fell victim to his old ways. Just not the way you intended.
