Moto GP Jerez (Spoilers)

May I say, what a boring MotoGP race . . .

[HotIce]

Thanks to Michelin having to go back to the Fred Flintstone's hard tires, this year the GP was 31" slower than last year.

Wow, didn't know it was that bad.



















Espionage'. They tweaked Boy George's traction control.

That was VR of old. I was hoping for a better set of battles thru the field however.
Truth is, the old guy knows how to better ride around rear end traction issues I would say compared to the younger guys. MM and CS were exceptions. I like saying that because I'm an older guy. 
Do not underestimate the level of corporate skullduggery possible at this dog eat dog level. CS touches on it in his book and no one feels they owe Boy George any favours. Jarvis is happy to only support Boy George as far as achieving second place in the championship behind VR for a Yammi 1-2. In Yamaha's eyes Boy George is now persona non grata while the Golden Boy's shit don't stink.

Don't tell the truth like that, you'll hurt folks feeling.

So you agree that Boy George is the scourge of the earth?

He is a useless piece of shit IMO

[kopfjäger]

Every man that swings a leg over one of those beasts, has all the respect I can give. I don't know any of these men personally, all I get are short (usually trackside) sound bites. Literally impossible for 'me' to judge their character from that. As always, I just want to see good racing. That shit today didn't meet my criteria.

[OT]

Why I dig Rossi (no, not like that...)?

37-year old guy grand slams the home boys and then 'whellies' from the final turn all the way to the finish line    

[Rameses]

Dovi had problems with his water pump -> slippery rear tire. Maybe that's what Laverty pointed at....

Makes sense.

He either saw coolant leaking, or saw the steam, which we all thought was tire smoke.

[ab]

Glad to see VR take command the whole race.  Been a while.

I seem to recall Jerez being pretty boring every year

I seem to recall Jerez being pretty boring every year

Moto3 was quite entertaining . ..

[m9hundo]

Yeah moto3 was entertaining, that last corner where that kid went from 4th to 2nd in one move was pretty spectacular

[duccarlos]

MotoGP race was a snoozer again. I thought the changes to electronics and tires were supposed to me it more interesting!

Congrats to the old dude! And make the beast with two backs off to the whining pregnant dog!

Michelin needs to fix their issues quick! MM ran out of gas since his rear wheel riding mixed with the rear slippage everyone was experiencing caused almost made him run out of gas during the race.

I will support him when he rides a Ducati.
