So...Dovi learned some racecraft then?

 

so know he knows how Rossi felt in Sepang

 

The Brit commentators made a comment that he was so worked up he was punching out the fire extinguisher on the wall, lol.

 

I really enjoyed this race and the finish was awesome and unexpected. I almost lost it when my boy Quatararo had the lead and opened it before getting reeled back in. Think he had it up to near 1 second lead.

When he gets on a bike that doesn't get walked away from in the straights he's going to be consistently battling for not just podiums, but wins too.

He needs a factory ride and Yamaha needs to take a que from Honda and build a better engine. If not, they're gonna lose him when his contract is up.

 

That race made up for the last snoozefest, almost. :up:

 

When do the Yamaha's get to use NOS?

 

Yea that was a good battle. Man those yamahas are a few years behind power.

 

Some guy on Gixer dot com said it wasn't effective.

 

F1 usually has no battles for the lead so that’s the only racing for position. Maybe F1 should make the rules so that there are actually battles for the lead for more than a lap after the start.

 

Gigi was so happy his unibrow turned into two separate eye brows.

 

The error messages are for spelling ... it’s fur not fir Or maybe for

 

I'd say he's handling it a lot better, though.

 

I was just about to say, imagine if that had come out of Rossi's mouth what the haters would say. Edit: See above

FIM needs to allow them to install a 2 mil kit like MA did for the SVs

Probably not using the correct red limiter

 

True, but the major difference is MM could have punted Dovi, taken the grid penalty and still won't lose the title...

 

It was depressing watching how much he was gapped on the straights and impressive how long he stuck with them just murdering the front on the brakes.

 

That's funny you say that because I was just reading a thread on R/motogp today where some guys were suggesting F1 try to steal some guys from MotoGP because they think they do a much better job... I would agree with you on some weekends, but Dovi and Marc were close enough the whole race for things to happen at any time and I think they did a decent job.

 

Not sure if there was a red limiter for a can of energy drink in his tank.
