I don't think we've seen anything that indicates that Marquez won't win going away. Sure, everything can change but it's not like Rossi is suddenly finding amazing pace or Lorenzo is some kind of world beater on the Ducati. Maybe Vinales can come out of sort of nowhere and compete, but he kind of sucks in the wet, doesn't he?

Thats not what your mom said

Surprisingly good finish from Rossi, even for someone who is traditionally better on Sunday.



I wonder what Lorenzo's opinion of that race is. Vinales winning on the movistar yamaha and the duc sister bike coming in 2nd while he was in like 12th

How about Zarco though. I was looking forward to watching a backflip and he got robbed. See: this quote from page 1

Is this really a problem though? Seems like to the extent it is it's been handled and I suspect Dorna won't want to spend money on fixing something that ain't broke (and gives race direction more discretionary control).

GPS isn't accurate to the meter. More like 3 or 4 in the best conditions. Something built into the track would make more sense. Or maybe just use that glue in rat traps

I was gonna respond to this last night or w/e and this was the gist of it. GPS doesnt have the resolution to do what you want and what are you actaully trying to accomplish that current techniques dont already care of

like with respect to your idea it wouyld probably be easier and cheaper to have 22 or w/e people watching individual screens of every rider and pressing a button to limit the engine when their rider goes beyond your set 1 meter limit

Anyone know a good place to get Hayden stickers? They listed a couple official merch sites but I didn't see stickers on either.

Simoncelli was hit directly in the head with a bike traveling perpendicular to him, this only bares a superficial resemblance.
