MotoGP | Gran Premio Motul de la República Argentina| 06 Apr - 08 Apr | 2018

@Robby-Bobby is a master craft troll.

 

He’s a factory rider, paid millions, and he doesn’t know the 10-or-so pages of the rule book that actually relate to start procedures and the rider?

You don’t ride counter-race.

Yes it was a chaotic start. That’s irrelevant. He’s paid millions. Know the rules.

 

Professional football players know holding is against the rules but if they don't do enough of it every game they'll soon be sitting on the bench watching someone else play their position. The highly paid pros don't just know the rules. They're masters of skirting the rules.

 

What you y'all don't account for is that Robby-Bobby comes from an American dirt track background where taking someone to the grass or the wall as it pleases you in order to get around the track is perfectly ok, and in some historical circumstances, expected. He fails to account for many things, including, but not limited to: (i) this is MotoGP at issue - not some Saturday night, short track, bull ring in Pensacola, FL; (ii) MM has a long and storied history of ignoring these particular rules and the concomitant infractions and penalties; and (iii) Dorna's incompetence and confusion vis-à-vis the grid at Argentina does not excuse MM's modus operendi, i.e., do as he pleases and rules and officials be damned, then make up some mealy mouthed, half ass excuse after the fact to attempt to justify your inexcusable actions.

That's all I have. Going to COTA on the Multi Enduro. Looking hugely forward to the ride down, the show at Austin, and simply being away from any type of work. Not particularly looking forward to the anticipated rain Saturday at COTA, the long ride home, or Austin hipsters, altho' they can be quite entertaining much in the same way those-who-only wear-black were in the '90's . . . .

Cheers,

Dave

 

And he successfully ran a professional factory road race team for 3 years in addition to highly successful amateur/expert racing for 10 years.

Trolling or not, I’d put my knowledge ahead of 99.9999% of the people here in regards to rider safety.

Most recently being voted as 3rd member of rider advisory board in American Flat with Bill Werner (most grand national wins for any tuner) and Mike Hacker. Voted by current professional racers and team owners.

But nah, I couldn’t come to a different conclusion than keyboard warriors and guys who can barely grid up for a trackday LOL

 

Yeah. That Schwantz guy was a total hack.

 

I’ve had like 10 years coaching from you but nobody cares about that in my resume! Lol

 

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve literally used EXACT quotes from you when running plenty of my own events.

My favorite is the classic: No

 

Yea now I’ve got quads. They worse of all

 

Waaaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaa . . . . You were soooooo much more credible BEFORE you started extolling the purported virtues, and vast extent, of your knowledge, experience, etc. Learn from one who learned the hard way: less is more; stop while you're ostensibly ahead; to paraphrase Lincoln, it is better to not say something and let folks wonder whether you are an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Cheers,

Dave

 

Report cards at high noon!

 

Robbi McBobby resort to name dropping? LAME. You disappoint me. Try harder!

 

LOL you guys!

 

I'd go so far as to say they don't care that much about he camera. What they care about is whether they can get away with it and if it helps them win. The best ones have an instinct for just how far they can go without drawing a penalty. My point is that Marq knew the rules and believed he could get away with it. Colin mentioned something to the effect that the rules were not always enforced and that weekend showed that "Arrrr, they be more like guidelines."

Hey, maybe it wasn't a coincidence that it was ... Arrrrrrr...gentina.
