Here is a link to my original post of Jun 27 2015, 

 

Marquez. Motogp Rider Or Torpedo?


and my tuppence worth to muddy's post of June 28 2013,

 

Crutchlow On Pole


and my tuppence wurth in reply to muddy's post of 06 May 2013

 

Marc Marquez Hero Or Villain

 

I can at least say that I've been keeping close tabs on the situation for at least two full seasons and my riding experience informed me that the behaviour of Marquez appeared to be unusual.

 

Two full seasons! Think on that.

Yawn.

How far back do you want to go?

Rossi and Gibernau at the last corner punt off perhaps? Stoner at Laguna Seca?

You keep accusing Marquez of being an aggressive rider but are totally blinkered where Rossi is concerned.

Seriously. Specsavers.

I'm beginning to realise that, with all the specs & blinkers mentioned, you have a pecuniary interest in eyesight. Are you an optometrist? ;)

Nah, I just like the banter, and I'm a little opinionated, just like a few of the TDM mob apparently lol.

And to be fair, I'm actually due an eye test sometime soon!

Guess we can put it all to bed now that we know who the very best motorcycle rider is, the MOTO GP CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. Awesome. What a man. And what a race from Marc and Danny too.

dont like all this boo'ing aimed at Lorenzo & Marquez mind...........


Doubt they will be too bothered, they knew what section of the crowd it came from and they would have expected it from there anyway, it was so predictable.

😳 not nice........not sporting...... 😛
As stated previously, I appreciate 'bike sport'.....
Yes I follow/enjoy 'the G.O.A.T. (Rossi just to avoid any confusion), but appreciate Lorenzo 'doing the job' this season.........
Rossi is STILL no1 tho....... 😝
(Just a bit of a $hitter that Marquez/Pedrosa hung back to make sure a fellow Spaniard won today) 😳😜😝😛

To control the sense of loss I reminded myself that Lorenzo had a very crap first few races, but even so has won more races than Rossi, and is excellent at both qualifying and then taking the lead and keeping it...

Rossi taking the title would have been like a comic book superhero (amazing), but Lorenzo probably deserves it.

(Still would have loved Rossi to have taken it.)

:)

Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others?  :hide:
