Jetpilot Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 First round this weekend So, lets get some predictions out there: Marquez Pedrosa wait for it Rossi third Quote
glrnet Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Welcome to my rugby world Had to do this last year Can I come round yours to watch the bikes then mate? Pleeeeez More than welcome bud Never been a "bike" person but mrs glrnet and I love watching it. 1 Quote
14N Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Cool, cheers buddy. I'll be round for the live Quatar, USA and Philip Island rounds Haha, fear not G. I've just transferred my broadband to BT so I'm sorted for BT sport 1 Quote
jumping350 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Looking forward to the race , i just hope Rossi does enough to not quit at mid season, would like one more season with Rossi about, i saw somewhere he was testing for le mans and his co driver was Alonso lol i reckon marques, lorenso, rossi Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Well, not much seems to have changed, I watched the season preview on bt sport, pretty good although I did fast forward through neil hodgson part Qualifying seemed the same, just with Huewen in place of Moody. Pleased to report Melanie Sykes is looking good, older but good and looks like she has had a couple of large new additions Some other chats with people in the know, Toseland, Bird etc, look forward to race day! P.s the Esperagro brothers are quick Edited March 21, 2014 by Jetpilot Quote
14N Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I agree. I watched the preview yesterday and thought the line up looked pretty good. Sykes really does look as if she's done her homework and did seem to know her stuff. Not sure if you caught the advert featuring Cal and Bradders as pizza delivery boys Did make me chuckle. BT Sport do look as if they're taking the sport very seriously and it's good to see they're giving the lower classes equal coverage. Helmets on. Gloves on. Here we go.... Quote
BillyZed Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Watched the build up also! It's gonna be another great year It's the first time I've heard of Melanie Sykes but she's god awful (I am 24 though) Quote
jumping350 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 A big WTF!!! I didnt realise eurosport lost their coverage! No Moto GP for me this year except a crappy itv 4 show on monday night which will be filled with at east 20 mins of adverts! I expect live corner by corner updates from you all BT sport can do one imo ! Quote
Linus27 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I can't wait for this either, the racing should be epic. I think it's worth keeping an eye on Bautista, he seems to be pretty happy at the moment. I think Dovi and Bautista might have a few good scraps. I also hope Rossi can find form but not sure to be honest. Quote
14N Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Epic high side from Bradley in FP3 yesterday Lucky the bike didn't hit him as it somersaulted into a million pieces. Fair play to him getting straight back on the spare tho. Best he's aching today. Quote
Lupes Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 is this of any use to anyone? http://www.stream2watch.me/motor/moto-gp-grand-prix-qatar-2014-live-stream free practice stream :-) Quote
jonny jones Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Come back Super Max!! Still better than these new kids Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Shame Aleix chucked in down the road twice in qualifying. Interesting to hear that if you have a win, or 2 2nds or 3 3rds in the open class you get a fuel cut for the rest of season, also didnt know it was the factory teams who decided on the rules for the open class! Awesome Bradley qualified 2nd ahead of Lorenzo, lets see what the race holds as its a real mix up at the sharp end. Quote
Linus27 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 So, predictions for the race? I think, 1. Marquez 2. Dovi 3. Bautista 4. Smith 5. Lorenzo Dovi or Bautista might be the other way round but they also have as much chance of taking themselves out in an incident. Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Tough call today i think: Marquez Bautista Pedrosa or Smith Quote
glrnet Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I don't know jack about bikes but this is SO bloody entertaining, only started watching it a couple of years ago, hooked now mrs glrnet loves it too!! Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Well I was close Best race for years, arguably the 2 best riders over the last 10 years head to head, just a shame Stoner wasnt around. If the rest of the season is like that, we are in for a treat 1 Quote
14N Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 If the rest of the season is like that, we are in for a treat +1 What an opener!!! Well done to all the Brits. I know Bradders didn't get the result he was after, but should be proud of this weekends achievements. Great race Quote
Jetpilot Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Free practice looks ominous, Marquez pretty much 1 - 1.5 seconds ahead of the others, Hondas are working well, so: Predictions Marquez Pedrosa Bit stumped for third: Bradl or Iannone Quote
jumping350 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Posted April 12, 2014 wheres Rossi? i hate the world ive got a crap half hour to look forward to on ITV4 on Monday of the race, Quote
Jetpilot Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 wheres Rossi? i hate the world ive got a crap half hour to look forward to on ITV4 on Monday of the race, 5th Quote
Jetpilot Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Shock of the weekend, Hodgson put on his leathers and did a lap talk through, he didnt even fall off.......... He did run on though Dont think he made an excuse about the bike either Quote
14N Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I notice Parrish has found his way into the studio. At least Cox hasn't followed him.... Quote
