Alzamora's facepalm was just epic   

Another great race, awesome riding by Bastianini and great recovery for Bagnaia before the problem

Dear God Moto2 has suddenly become the dullest class in bike racing.

 

Even Huewen said watching Rabat is boring, I can only agree.

[OvDrone]

Great to see Masbou winning, dude had it coming all season.

 

Rant:

 

My ****ing god, watching Moto-anything at BT Sports is like having a stroke. An overly British hype stroke. Moto2 is happening and all I hear is SAM LOWES SAM LOWES SAM LOWES SAM LOWES. Christ.

 

/Rant.

This.

 

[Sheepmachine]

Gah why did I have to be in a MRI machine when a cracking moto 3 race was on. I'm guessing I haven't missed anything of note in moto 2?

[TheRacingElf]

Well Lowes atleast was in the front, in the Netherlands we have a commentator who is always talking about Schouten and Derou

 

By the way, does somebody know the reason why Moto2 is so dull? Is it something in the technical regulations or something else?

 

[hotstickyslick]

I think it's clear that the whole Moto2 class has been a mistake, at least in the sense of being a true replacement for the 250s not just from a competitive point of view but from a technical point of view with there seemingly being no end in sight to the detuned supersport spec engines they're using. The only thing Moto2 has done is keep the intermediate class in existence, albeit pitiful.

[Sheepmachine]

Rabat trying to end it early.

[OvDrone]

Well at least the 2011 season was fun with Bradl vs. Marquez vs. Iannone vs. Luthi vs. Espargaro.

Its just a training wheel class. Jumping from Moto3 to MotoGP is a big jump

Salom throwing a strop
Moto2 has had great races only this year and some of last year has it got a bit dull.

The reaosn the clas sis dull is that Varc VDS probably spend more than anyone else, so are a GP team in a training class!

 

Just two dull riders, that's all.

 

I do get fed up too with BTSport hype, the bloke binned it, just liek Smith always does, yet to listen to them they are soooooo unlucky. 

 

Garbage and fake sorry.

[Sheepmachine]

Ok so that's moto 2 over with. Who's going to finish 2nd in Moto gp?

[RedOne]

Marc Marquez

[DS27]

Not sure what was funnier; Rins celebrating a lap early or Saloms hissy fit when he fell off in Moto 2. Classic Moto3 race though.

Unfortunately I was waiting for Lowes to crash out of a podium position, and he duly obliged - oh well, fingers crossed for silverstone.

[chunder27]

I dont feel sorry for blokes that crash regularly. I do have elements of sympathy for Lowes as I think he is over working a rubbish bike.

 

Others though ahve made careers of it, Checa, Axel pons, one or two others, spot the ovious connection!  And it begins with S

[OvDrone]

Why can't Moto2 be the first race instead of Moto3... I always wake up late on a Moto3 Sunday and just get to see the podium celebrations. *sigh*

[chunder27]

I think they used to have a mix up of timings in the early days.

 

Mainly in Spain because 125 and 250 used to be far more popular there. Until they managed to get a few guys who could ride bigger bikes after spending millions on their progression for 20 years!

[OvDrone]

Brno is fantastic.

 

Those two corners with Iannone and Marquez giving each other no quarter was the tits.

[chunder27]

Here we go, Huewen telling us Smith is doing the business

 

He is 9th!  Behind Espig

 

For Gods sake shut up boys and just commentate on what you see!

[OvDrone]

'Go back twelve months ago. Cal had a brilliant pole here. A couple of weeks before he could of won the German Grand Prix. Remember, he has speed.'

 

Dovi is annihilating him. The dude is out of the race for **** sake.

[toofast]

Marquez is going to lose this

[Disgrace]

Surely the record will go out with a fight rather than a whimper...

[PARAZAR]

Brno is fantastic.

Yeah Iannone was having none of that. Dishing it right back. 

[toofast]

Not even a podium? 

[OvDrone]

I'm going to bitch and say that I hope Pedrosa won't be the one to break Marc's record run. Meh.

Edited by OvDrone, 17 August 2014 - 12:28.

[toofast]

What happened to Pol?

[chunder27]

If you look at onboard data

 

Marc is not able to hold anywhere near as much corner speed, I suspect a duff front tyre actually.

[PARAZAR]

I'm going to bitch and say that I hope Pedrosa won't be the one to break Marc's record run. Meh.

I hope he does.

Do you forget he is leaving? Who are the team going to back...........

[OvDrone]

Can't wait to see Gigi Dall’Igna's new Ducati for next season and Dovi vs. Iannone will be a cracker.

[OvDrone]

That is not my issue. My issue is the commentary over at BT Sports. They are daft and utter c***s.

[Sheepmachine]

The commentary is woeful

[Disgrace]

That is why Pedrosa will continue to ride for HRC. Marquez has a bad day but Pedrosa picks up the pieces and Yamaha still go winless. The perfect number two. I also quite like the statistic that this represents Marc's first finish on the road off the podium in MotoGP.

[Nova]

Well this sure sucks....  Marques did not win. 

[OvDrone]

Bravo Dani.

[DrProzac]

That was unexpected

[carbonfibre]

So true, it would be great if they can be the front often and longer next year. Iannone really showed he isn't afraid of the "aliens" today, it's the duke that is holding him back. 

[RedOne]

Did I say second? I actually meant fourth! Refreshing to see a different winner and happy Rossi also beat him.

        Great. Would love to see this in only one gif.

[Sheepmachine]

That's brilliant!

Dovi's been making Cal look foolish all season.

[OvDrone]

Best gif of the year. Wow.

[Gilles4Ever]

Dovi gets another 10 points and Cal slips to 14th in the points, passed by Aoyama

[Nigol]

Any comments from Marc yet?

[Jackmancer]

I really thought Marquez would be halted in his winning streak by falling off the bike, either by pushing to hard or being hit by a rival. But as they say, this is how the world ends: not with a bang, but by a whimper.

[Gilles4Ever]

I would be more interested to know how Lorenzo really feels. Márquez has an off day one comes 4th and still Lorenzo loses, this time to the other Honda. Even Rossi came away with a "win", he beat Márquez to get a podium, the old man has still got it.

As far as headlines go, Lorenzo's 2nd is a loss for Yamaha while Rossi's 3rd is a win.

[Thomas99]

first race marc has finished off the podium
