Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
His brother only went and done pretty much the same thing too. I suspect Marquez Jnr will be hot property next season.

No. I was half asleep watching it but the commentators didn't say anything to make me open my eyes.

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
The race got good towards the end as no one had any tyres left.. all the bikes looked mega soft at the rear where it was like a bucking bronco.
Wasn't a race to try and pull in new fans but I enjoyed it.
Fair play to Marquez, we are truly seeing a legend in the making with nearly 50% win ratio in the top class

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
Finally got to watch it.
Good solid ride from Miller. If he can just stay on like that s bit more he’s going to be right up there.

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
Miller is yet to sign a new contract , I think he might be hoping to get Jorges spot at Honda . Or more money .

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
It was mentioned he isn't happy with the money..
Has Alex Marquez signed in Moto2 yet? Is it still possible for him to join his big bro?

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
I think Alex is signed up with PETRONAS in Moto2.
Miller has hinted that Lorenzo is linked to his 2020 seat with Pramac.

Lorenzo back to Ducati on a satellite bike and cleans up 
that would ruffle a few feathers

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
Listening to BT Sport this morning - rumour has it he's offered himself for free to Pramac and Yamaha for the remainder of this year too.Kwacky wrote:I think Alex is signed up with PETRONAS in Moto2.

Has he no integrity? I've always thought the people he surrounds himself with dont give him good advice. Honda will be spitting mad i should suspect.
If i was Honda I'd hold him to contract, whether he rides or not.
The guy needs to retire frankly. Good on his day, but not when there is so much other talent in the field now.

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
I’d take Miller over Lorenzo any day. Lorenzo is a busted flush. He knows no one will pay him to ride for them now. I reckon Honda have sacked him already.

Re: Bruno Motogp (spoilers)
I agree with Neil Hodgson. Marquez at the moment is unstoppable. The only person who has proven talent to beat him are Dovi and Lorenzo on the Ducati. People saying he is washed up is not true he just should have never gone to Honda but he had no choice, Ducati sacked him.
He should have never gone to Honda but he had no other choice. Jorge needs a bike designed for HIM and Honda will never do that because A, they believe in engineering and the bike is more important than the rider (why Rossi left) and B, why focus any development on Lorenzo when they have the super talented Marquez with a very unique riding style, widely different to Lorenzo? You also have to say did Honda ever want Lorenzo competitive on a Honda? or did they just neutralise, their riders only real threat at the time that decision was made, mid season last year.
Ducati regretted getting rid of Lorenzo and said as much pretty much immediately after doing it, but it was too late, by the time they had modified the bike to how Lorenzo wanted it (in the first place) and started winning they had already sacked him.
Peoples memories are short. Mid season, last year Lorenzo on a Ducati was winning everything and beating MM93 regular and Dovi on identical machinery, something Miller has never done. I like Jack, but he is not a proven race winner. Occasional podium man yes, but not a regular race winner or title challenger and he is on a full factory Desmosedici.
Who has factual evidence of as recent as last season regularly beating (until sacked which tends to de motivate you) Marquez? Answer Lorenzo on a Ducati.
Would Ducati have a 5 time would champion back, who is a proven race winner on their bike for FREE, of course they would.
