Absolutely! I think Marc wanted put his stamp and show everyone he's still the top dog, but crashed pushing too hard. I think he's definitely feeling the pressure of Vinales and seeing how he's fast in any conditions! And if Mav beats him in COTA where he's been untouchable, then he could...

In Qatar? Yeah that's a high possibility. Either Dovi or Lorenzo. In other tracks? We'll have to see.

Anyone wanna bet against Mav? I'm guessing it'll be him and Marquez duking it out all season.

Yikes! Dive-bombed two riders! haha

I kinda wanted to leave out that part, as most of us know Senna had multiple reasons as to why he went for that pass. ;) Just wanted an opinion on the attempt in normal circumstances.

I don't race but i've been watching motorsports(2 & 4 wheels) since I was quite young to determine what would be clean and what would be controversial. It'd be interesting to find out what the other racers on this board think had they been in Lorenzo's shoes.

Nope, I don't know more than RD but I still feel that this pass is open for differing of opinions. Still not clear-cut that this is what one should be doing even knowing full well you'll bounce off your opponent. That said, what are your opinions on Senna's pass attempt on Prost in Suzuka '90?

lol...Marc had NO CHANCE in any circumstance have made that pass without bouncing off Jorge. You're telling me because it's the last lap, these types of passes would be deemed acceptable? Had he taken him out, would that still be considered racing?

haha, I think Jorge made that mistake last year in Misano which led to an argument. But ya, no disputing on Marc there.

Errr....you said it yourself, without Jorge, Marc would've ran off. Door open or not, the only way for Marc to make that move was to dive-bomb him. Plus, Jorge probably thought he was far enough not to defend his line. The passing etiquette went out the window for Marc in that corner.

Vinales fast already, and Jorge having no problems adjusting to the Duc! In fact, his laptime was faster than his fastest lap from last sunday's race! 2017 is looking more interesting than last season already!

Perhaps I was a bit harsh on him, and he did pretty decent back in his Ducati days. He racked up some decent points. But if we're talking about the last 3 years...yes, he's been pretty useless. Mid pack at his very best, last, or a crash. Pick one.

This makes no sense to me. Karel was useless in Motogp, he's still useless in WSBK. At least Yonny has proven that he can disrupt the grid by doing well in Quali, and was also leading in Silverstone(correct me if i'm wrong) in the wet until he crashed.

I'm loving that FZ-09 Update!

Looks like you already bought your mattress, but I like my Casper. :)
