2013 MotoGP Round 14 - Aragon (Spoilers!!!)

[ZLTFUL]

I find it amusing how the same people that said Marco was on the ragged edge and a danger to everyone around him are lauding Marquez for the exact same riding style. 

[duccarlos]

The difference is that Sic looked like Sideshow Bob. Actually, Marco did take out a few guys before learning that his style was not necessarily the best. As of right now, MM didn't take anyone out per say, the Turd highsided after his bike decided to go Hulk because of the missing sensor.

Yeah...that had nothing to do with Marquez...at all... 

[duccarlos]

He is the golden child. Your rolling eyes are irrelevant. And this is really the first incident Sic had quite a few. Bautista has been more dangerous than MM this year. Why are we not screaming for him to be penalized? Because they were all race incidents.

i don't understand it when anyone gets upset when MM, or anyone in GP, makes contact, makes a hole out of an inch, whatever.  first of all we almost never hear this complaining when it happens in wsbk (every race).  second, if they go over the line, they get penalized.  fair 'enough.  that's what race direction is for.

this is RACING, not water ballet.  the sport desperately needed MM.  not everyone is good enough to pull it off [bautista], so then they're just dangerous -- that's different.  maybe a lot of ppl started watching in 2007, when the bikes dictated a processional?  rubbin' is racin' fellas.

and a clutch lever catching a wire in just the wrong way is hardly torpedoing the guy.  it was a fluke byproduct of having the balls to make a pass. 

MM will soon become the first to win in his rookie year since 1978.  pedro has been on god's bike for 8 years, zero titles.  i have huge respect for him WRT to how tough he is, but MM fast and skilled he is not.  outta the way pal.

I certainly hope it is that and not some onset of old fartness or something bizarre like that...

[ducpainter]

Soooo...

Are they going to make a rule against racing?

“Yes, it could lead to changes - I would not deny that. As we all know, we care very much for the safety of the riders and in this case it is very clear that an incident has taken place, but at the same time something has not worked as it should have because it is not normal to have a crash like that.”

changes... like a wheel sensor cable cover.  i'm really interested to hear what they say in sepang, since a 'hearing' on this topic seems really odd.
