10/27/2015 9:17pm Maybe you don't read some of this stuff so let me help you: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/224594/1/motogp-race-director-explains… “Valentino reacted to what he saw as provocation from Marquez and unfortunately his reaction was a manoeuvre that was against the rules. It's irresponsible riding, causing a crash. So he's been penalised for that. We believe the contact was deliberate. He says he did not want...

10/27/2015 8:51pm UPDATED: MotoGP Race Director explains Rossi punishment [483] 26 October 2015: "As I said to [Rossi], it doesn't matter what the provocation is. You can't react in a way that causes a rider to crash" Causes a rider to crash.That would be contact.

10/27/2015 7:56pm Rossi told the truth, because he knew it was a legal move. That is not a confession. Marquez lied and they knew it. Yet they ruled in his favor. INITIATING CONTACT is not on VR, it's on MM. That is the verbal statements the ruling was based on. That is what this is all about. They made a mockery of...

10/27/2015 5:07pm Thanks for the link. The Race Director said that the flag only waived after they had passed and then only for 3 seconds, an inadvertent corner worker.... He didn't mention that VR sat up and looked directly at the flag, and kept looking over his shoulder at it. It was obviously visible. I'm sure it was an honest mistake by...

10/27/2015 3:24pm That would never work.

10/27/2015 3:22pm Good for him. The top 250 guys can jump right on a 450 and compete, that is established. Now what about Mookie?

10/27/2015 3:16pm The argument that Marquez decided after the press conference to mess with Rossi is for idiots. Most casual fans would never pick up on what has been going on for several races by MM. What it did was expose the truth, which Marquez then CONFIRMED. 56 passes for the top 4 at Australia and then 9 passes for 3rd/4th on...

10/25/2015 12:23pm Marquez is being a bitch and I was hoping Rossi would make him pay. Rubbing is racing and they never went off of the track, fair game. The rider in front owns the line. There is no rule saying you have to stay on the racing line. Good racecraft using all the track. Valli was channelling Reed. (which was another...

10/22/2015 5:14pm Count me in for it. Circuit of the Americas would be fine. You can build a track right on the asphalt if you wanted. The infrastructure including lighting changes everything. That's what I thought would happen when DMG bought in.

10/22/2015 1:14pm The Monster Energy Cup is Feld's testing ground. I think it had a LOT of the right ingredients. The original rumor was that the changes were for '16 and would be announced at the MEC...

Johnny Depp Added a reply to Some interesting new rules for the 2016 MXGP series.
10/8/2015 12:11pm 2nd bike after sighting lap is for what? Mud tires? Qualifier money grab to increase Saturday gate. Just make a 3rd moto and run the whole event on Sunday. Lap times to fill the gate is sufficient. Gate drops are an important part of the entertainment package and risk factor. Make them count for something real, not just the top...
Johnny Depp Added a reply to Nationals Purse Money
9/16/2015 11:47am Don't forget to subtract the entry fees paid! Pay to be a pro. Funny! Oh, don't forget the free magazine as a benefit. There isn't enough money to go around, the support class should be amateur and 1 Pro class for a bigger cut of the pie.

Johnny Depp Started a new thread How will we ever know who is the fastest rider with multiple classes?
9/11/2015 3:02pm There is a best case scenario for Jean-Michel Bayle who in 1991 won the Supercross, 500 and 250 title.
He was a pretty good road racer too..

9/11/2015 8:33am Crush, I am basically against almost all rules for racing. Let's stop telling everybody what they can and can't do. I think it is meddling where it isn't needed for a closed course. I am not of the belief that because the racers do it the rest will follow along. Let's decide on the track the fastest way around. And...
Johnny Depp Added a reply to How will we ever know who is the fastest rider with multiple classes?
9/10/2015 8:41pm There is a question on this because several of the "250" guys can beat most of the "450" guys. So if the "AMA" is the only game in town, how about we try to point out a better way to grow the sport? In case you haven't noticed, a message board in today's world is a powerful tool. So the...

9/10/2015 8:37pm We can agree to disagree on this. My position is the growth in the Pro class will overcome the loss of the "up and coming" class. After all the whining about money you would think some teams would be glad to reduce expenses anyway. No one is making any of these teams compete, they do it because they think it...
