Moto GP shock

[Toxic Ted]

Just heard that Gerry Bergess, the 13 year crew chief of Valentino Rossi has been sacked by Vale as of monday..........WTF

 

[dancinplumba]

Not winning ?

 

[Toxic Ted]

I thought they were married....

Apparently it came as a shock to Burgess as well.

anyone interested in motorsport should watch Motogp on BBC2 tomorrow. World title going to be decided at the last race of the season ,two men guaranteed to cause fireworks. Don't miss it .This is proper racing not Formula 1

Now that is a surprise!

Oh yes

 

[Toxic Ted]

I don't think there will be too many fireworks as its pretty much decided who will be crowned. Marc only has to finish in the top four to take the title and he is more than capable of that. I still think that on equal machinery Lorenzo is better than any other rider as he is the only​ rider who can ride inch perfect under extreme pressure..........pure class.

Straws and grasping spring to mind. It's a shame but I think Rossi,s finished. And as far as finales go, bsb this year was awesome.

 

[Toxic Ted]

Super bikes in both guises are always a spectacle.....more overtaking in impossible places makes for great viewing, but Jack Barnacle is not quite world class commentating material.

I love listening to Whitam, what a character. Proper bummer about Scott Reading.

I really thought Scott was going to take the crown before moving up, but its good to see Bradders getting good results in his rookie year.
Really looking forward to seeing what Cal can do with the Ducati.....and what the new technical head from Aprilia can bring to the team after what he achieved there.

Cal going to Ducati is a mistake, hope for the best.

If you could sign a contract which would make your future financially secure and still have the prospect of improvement (slim as it may be but he has a similar riding style to stoner) i think most would take it...i know i would...

I see your point, but! It may spell the end of his moto gp career. Think about it, two years from now he's come no where. Not his fault, it's the bike. Lots of new young talents on there way up. No one willing to give cal a ride in moto gp. For example look at Rossi! My moneys on him retiring and being a mentor.

marquez deserved the win for sure! so much talent for a young rider!

Agreed....uber talented but needs to calm down a bit. Next season will be an exciting one .

 

[Leo21]

Nah, I wanted Lorenzo. A better rider on a slower bike.

Cant argue with that!

 

[Stu3y]

I like both marquez and lorenzo, i wouldnt of been disappointed if lorenzo won..

 

[Stu3y]

plus my current bike helmet sorta supports lorenzo :1eye:

 

[swsv1]

after this season, i was pleasantly surprised marquez kept his cool, was a thrilling first few laps though.

not happy about motogp moving to btsport.

What! No more euro sport, really?

 

[swsv1]

the Beeb lost out to btsport, doubtful that eurosport will be able to have the same agreement. I'm not buying btsport, hopefully some enterprising soul will post them online... not watching live sucks though.
