Winglets on a moto3? Everybody is talking a lot of crap that this is getting ridiculous but they obviously helped Ducati and these are some of the top motorcycle engineers on the planet. I doubt this is just smoke. And who cares if a team wants to try them out. These moto3 bikes are still pushing 150mph.

 

[NoTec]

It was only a matter of time.

 

[rubbish]

Is it just me or are the Repsol Honda guys struggling again?

Kinda looks that way.

 

[NoTec]

Amazing how teams tend to struggle when Casey leaves.....

Marc better eat his wheaties....

I get your obsession, but this isn't even close to counting...since Casey left, HRC won 2 championships in case you forgot....with Casey's replacement :stickpoke

Last I checked, Casey was just recently cut from the Honda payroll.

Yeah Casey was doing testing for HRC up until last summer really when he had his little Honda booboo no the Suzuka bike. Things went sour after that between the two. Back on Ducati and now Ducati is back on track even more.

I'm still torn.......do I cheer for Gigi and the Ducs or Aprilia??

Ducs on this forum :smoking:

 

[timmthehuman]

Gotta agree with that. New rules: 1. Can't talk crap unless it's in a respectful manner. "Cannot damage the championship" (I don't think what Rossi did was damaging to the championship besides drawing ALL of Marc's focus. If Marc was merely playing around in Phillip Island, he sure as hell made it his goal for Rossi not to be champion after that press conference).
2. Penalty points now accumulate as normal but only after 10 penalty points will anything happen (DQ from next race). So.... you're allowed to mess up more times before a heavier infraction occurs? Interesting.......

1 93 m. Marquez 1:56.046
2 29 a. Iannone +0.074
3 4 a. Dovizioso +0.137
4 99 j. Lorenzo +0.140
5 25 m. Viñales +0.656
6 44 p. Espargaro +0.660

8 45 s. Redding +0.829
9 41 a. Espargaro +1.314
10 76 l. Baz +1.438

An hour and a half into it, Marc has bettered his time from yesterday on only 4 laps (and he has crashed when pushing for that time... Think this is an early sign for the season... Every time he pushes to keep up, down he goes). But these times won't stay like this for long.

 

[timmthehuman]

But these times won't stay like this for long.

Lorenzo just put in back to back improvements and now in front by over half a second :jerkoff:

MM hasn't gone out since his crash. Confidence low? Frustrated with the bike? Only 4 laps. Not going to be ready for Qatar March 20th

That doesn't count...he rode a test bike a few times and that's it. Sure he was still on the payroll, but not racing.
