I woke up last Tuesday with a bitter taste in my mouth... the race itself was so incredibly exciting I lost sight of the fact that Rossi could potentially have harmed his championship odds, regardless of Lorenzo crashing out. I have clearly become very emotionally invested in Rossi's charge to the championship otherwise I wouldn't have felt quite like this... PS ~ Saturday this week we have F1 and then MotoGP on Sunday! It's one of the double-whammy weekends of the year that you have to circle on your calendar! |
The MotoGP festivities landed back in Spain on Sunday and after a couple of outrageous, wet and wild affairs, this one was much more civil. Lorenzo deserved the win..... Marquez crashes out big (again)....!!! Pedrosa and Rossi have an incredibly heated battle for the last few laps for second place.... http://cdn.images.autosport.com/edit...1443372245.jpg MotoGP Aragon: Jorge Lorenzo wins as Marc Marquez crashes out - MotoGP news - AUTOSPORT.com I have tremendous respect for Marquez. He was clearly upset after crashing out (especially so early) but during the race they interviewed him and he apologized to his fans and his team and took complete responsibility for the crash. Very classy. |
Race Finish 1 - Lorenzo 2 - Pedrosa 3 - Rossi 4 - Iannone 5 - Dovizioso Current Standings 1 - Valentina Rossi - 263 pts 1 - Jorge Lorenzo - 249 pts 3 - Marc Marquez - 184 pts 4 - Andrea Iannone - 172 pts 5 - Bradly Smith - 143 pts With four races left the series shifts to Japan next ... |
God Damn Pedrosa.... The only time he actually performs when it matters a lot to Rossi and not to him -.- Got Damn. |
Feels wierd. Rossi may still lead in points but feels like the season is done for him now. And as much as I want to support and give cred to Lorenzo, he makes for such boring races every single time he wins - although that's not really his fault and more of a statement of how good he really is.

The Misano race may haunt Rossi ... Lorenzo crashes out and due to bad strategy he finished fifth. Unless Rossi qualifies ahead of Lorenzo in any of the remaining races I don't see him taking any additional podiums. I also completely agree with you about Marquez. I love his humility and I hope his legacy remains strong. He is young and should contend for many more years. |
Speaking of which ... Rossi qualifies second behind Lorenzo in Japan. Rossi: Today is a positive day Rossi: Today is a positive day | MCN |
ROSSI ROSSI ROSSI! |
VERY EXCITING RACE! Yet another race that was greatly and significantly impacted by the weather and tire selection! After Lorenzo pulled about a 3.5-ish second lead earlier I didn't think there was any chance (short of a crash) that Rossi was going to finish ahead of his teammate. Congrats to Pedrosa! A win in 10 consecutive years and 50th of his career! http://jto.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-conte...12-870x596.jpg Pedrosa wins Japanese MotoGP http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2.../#.VhrCkig6Iy5 Rossi now leads Lorenzo by 18 points in the standings with a maximum of 75 available from the remaining three rounds, in Australia, Malaysia and Valencia, Spain. |
Race Finish 1 - Pedrosa 2 - Rossi 3 - Lorenzo 4 - Marquez 5 - Dovizioso Current Standings 1 - Valentina Rossi - 283 pts 1 - Jorge Lorenzo - 265 pts 3 - Marc Marquez - 197 pts 4 - Andrea Iannone - 172 pts 5 - Bradly Smith - 152 pts All I can say is that the FINAL THREE RACES ARE GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY!!!!!!! This championship is WIDE OPEN right now!!! :) The rest of the season is very compact ... we have a race the next two weekends!

Just praying that Rossi can keep getting ahead of Lorenzo earlier rather than later. Once Jorge gets that early lead he just goes into robot mode. The only knock i've ever had against Lorenzo though is when he gets over taken from the lead he tends to have the wind taken out of his sail completely. Almost like he doesn't care to put in any more effort to fight back for position again. Other than that love watching the Yamaha tandem. GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
LENGTH 4.4 km = 2.76 miles CORNERS 7 left -5 right WIDTH 13 m. = 42.65 ft. LONGEST STRAIGHT 900 m. = 2952.76 ft. About the circuit Phillip Island, the self-styled home of Australian motorsport, is steeped in motor racing tradition, with the first car races having been held there on public roads in the 1920s. The first motorcycle races took place in 1931 and a permanent track was built in 1956. The circuit fell into disrepair during the late 70s and early 80s until it was bought in 1985 and given a AUS $5m facelift. MotoGP returned in 1989 and 1990 before becoming a regular fixture once more from 1997 onwards. The Phillip Island circuit is blessed with breathtaking scenery and beautiful ocean views and, as one of the fastest, most fluid, tracks on the calendar, it continues to provide some of the most spectacular racing in the MotoGP season. |
God damn piece of shit Iannone.... One of the best race this year :D |
Andrea Iannone's pass on 46 and 93 was amazing. Best race of the season |
Completely and totally agree ... BEST RACE OF 2015 Heart-pounding action for the ENTIRE RACE.... I'm simply floored by how entertaining that race was!! A track like this completely reinforces the difference in top-end power between the Ducatis, Hondas and Yamaha bikes. Marquez winning in the last lap was HUGELY beneficial to Rossi's title hopes. Marquez stripped valuable points away from Lorenzo. “It's a great shame. I'm not happy. Especially not to be on the podium because this was a great race: From beginning to end a very, very hard rhythm, a lot of overtaking, a lot of different riders. It was a real 'Phillip Island old style' race,” said Rossi, speaking in the paddock on Sunday evening. “It was a shame also to unfortunately lose seven points on Jorge, especially because my speed was very, very good today in the race and I can also arrive in front. http://media.crash.net/original/PA1819758.0008.jpg MotoGP News - MotoGP Australia: Valentino Rossi: 'Great race, great shame, no regrets' BBC Sport - MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins thrilling race in Australia |

Just two races left! It was funny - there was so much action at the front of the pack that I we saw literally nothing of what was happening past 5th place. :) MALAYSIA GRAND PRIX - OCTOBER 25 VALENCIA GRAND PRIX - NOVEMBER 8 |
