MR_W Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think the rest of em need to get out on a skid pan and practice saving the front end lol... His skills are ridiculous, I do feel that marques is treading a very thin line tho, how long until he has a monumental crash?Reminds me of simoncelli, he attempted to save the front didn't he? It gripped, threw him back into the pack and was it Rossi who ran over his head?On a different note had zarco ruined himself going to KTM? I feel he should have gone with honda. I will be very surprised if he can compete on the KTM next year, I think Lorenzo on a Suzuki might be competitive but it seems marques is gonna be even further ahead this time next year... Please please Casey stoner, come back and put it to marq Rossi & Edwards hit simoncelli in head and back respectively. There where rumblings that season over the Bridgestone tyres being a bit unpredictable on losing grip in turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please please Casey stoner, come back and put it to marq Simoncelli was wild......not that I think he was deliberately dangerous or malicious.....he was just trying so hard, and ended up riding way over his skill level.Marquez is on a totally different level.....he's one of those following the paths set by the likes of Hailwood, Saarinen, and Roberts who effectively changed the riding style that was required at the highest level during their respective eras.

Linkhttps://streamable.com/6xpdj Laverty on the BT feed reckons that the initial wobble knocked the pads. Then when Pirro braked, nothing at first then it kicked in as he squeezed more and spat him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Did you see Marquez's save? he really is an alien! FFS - that was awesome, I reckon most other riders would have bailed out.Looking in slow mo, it looked like his knee slider twisted round to the side and destabilised him?

Hoggs Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Naughty Hector Barbera fired from the Pons Moto2 team after being convicted for drink driving. Marquez save was ridiculous. Who knows why gravity doesn't seem to apply to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
