Thailand Motogp

Post by duke63 »

Marquez has had a big high side in FP1. Lucky to escape serious injury by the looks of it. Been passed fit to race.

Jeez, he did a good number on the bike. Looks like the swing arm has been ripped out.

This is worth a watch. Simon Crafar discussing suspension changes and how changes are made. Its a bit hard going at the start aas he is a bit nevrous but improves greatly as you watch it. Very interesting and he does detail things in a way any biker can understand.

Marquez is maturing into a clinical race who has no weaknesses. Very mature race and superb skills when needed, but agree a dull race for entertainment.
