He would have actually been worth the 12 million €.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with JLs wins, it's just that Marky would have done at least that in his first year and challenged or won the championship the next.

+1 for MM on a Ducati, but he’s safely cradled in Honda world.

Maybe in half a dozen years.

It looked like it too. Turning the throttle and going nowhere.

I got confused. My finger was going back and forth. ‘Not really news’ ‘Maybe the race thread’
DO SOMETHING! Ok I’ll try here. Wrong guess, I guess. Where ya want it?

popcorn  I'd pay additional money to see that.  popcorn

I do wonder if that's just how the Honda is ridden fastest, perhaps he'd be less spectacular on other bikes.
What would Marquez be like on a Yamaha?
Big swooping Lorenzo lines with his elbow on the ground 90% of the time he's not in pit lane?

I think MM got his elbow slider caught in Rins' rear brake disc.

MM only knows fast. Crusty has been the only other rider that has consisted decent results. The fact MM can wrestle that thing around the track week in and out makes me think he can be fast on anything.

How is it that MM abuses his tires and is so strong at the end. The following riders complain about the tires not lasting the last few laps.  MM wins with soft, medium and hard compounds.
I'm happy for Vinales and Rins. hope they can continue finishing up front.

Remember that article on spinning Vs grip heating of rear tyres? The rear wheel steering guys superheated the top layer of the tyre but the guys that got the tyre to bite heated the whole carcass. I wonder if that still applies? Also, is it me or does Marky use more lean angle but for a shorter time like Doohan? His freaky kinesthetic perception lets him ride closer to the edge more often and saving a slide is a regular thing for him. Marky has the touch of Stoner, the joy of Rossi and the mental strength and toughness of Doohan.

Was that Rainey that figured that out?
