It amazes me that he was only 35... I always thought he was older than me because he's been racing for so long.

Maybe Jorghey should have stayed at Yamaha and be happy playing second fiddle...

I don't think so.

Reading his comments shows he's doing everything he can to improve. It will take time.

I reckon he'll improve. Not sure he'll be able to challenge for a championship again but it must be hard to adjust quickly.

Actually it is, we can just ask VR about his Ducati experiment.

I actually admire JL for making the move and certainly hope he can turn things around. In time, if he sticks at it, and Ducati have enough patience to allow him to, he'll get better results.

He has a pair.

To even get on a GP bike he has a giant set.

You're missing the point.

Clearly!

I'm happy for the elaboration though.

No sarcasm, eh Georgiou? :-*

George wants a Ducati to magically become a Yamaha, and behave how he believes is logical. He's a cornerspeed rider. A Duc is not a cornerspeed machine.

Not gonna happen even if Gigi waves his magic wand.

George needs to stop thinking, and start riding...with that pair you claim he has.

There's always sarcasm here!

Thanks for unpacking your critique of Lorenzo. I read the article again and if he only was saying the bike needed changing and nothing about his riding style needing to change, I'd probably agree with your 'no nuts' sentiment. But he wasn't.

As for Jorge's nuts, it seems, at least in qualifying, he has indeed found the set you claim he hasn't!

Let's see how that goes in tomorrow's race. I hope he does well.

Hope he doesn't get a hangnail. ;D

Seriously...he can do a fast lap...can he do a fast race when the tires are chunking?

I don't think he has the stones. He'll feel the vibration and drop through the pack like a stone.

I have money for the airfence fund if you're a betting man.
