Motors 2014 MotoGP/WSBK/BSB Season thread

Well don't go to Laguna, this year was the last year!

 

No way? Ohh I didnt know that. Probably my favourite track.

 

Writting was on the wall for Laguna with COTA and WSBK returning to Laguna, im still annoyed by that.

Assen, PI, Mugello would be my desired rounds to attend, never made it to a GP yet, sucks being a student in NZ, but one day

 

Cal Crutchlow "to go faster on the Ducati is nearly impossible"

2014 will likely come down to who crashes and gets injured least between the 3 spaniards, carl may improve on the ducati but i expect it will be a difficult first season.

 

Much like Rossi's 2nd year back at Yam is going to be; Cal's 2nd year will be the yay/nay

 

Difficult first and second, followed by a new team.

So far the works Desmo has sunk (in no particular order), Sete Gibernau, Carlos Checa, Alex Hoffman, Nicky Hayden, Valentino Rossi, Jeremy Burgess and mother effin' Audi.

I don't think the problem is time or money, the problem is that Ducati have a bad bike with a bad engine and will literally declare riders mentally unfit before they admit there is a problem with it.

If Crutchy wins a race on the Desmo, ever, I will post a picture of my own arse on Bit-tech's demote thread...

 

Prehaps he may look to move to Suzuki 2015 or Aprilia 2016 when they both have their full factory teams, if Ducati does not work out.

 

Sete Gibernau, Carlos Checa, Alex Hoffman, Nicky Hayden,

Thou Gibernau, Checa both rode the long retired and pretty successful 990 Desmo, without the collarbone injury from Catalunya in 06, Capirossi would have had a shot at the title and Bayliss with his wildcard win.

Hayden also had a pretty good year on the Ducati in 10, only made the podium once, but was in contention in quite a few races, normal was 4ths and 5ths that year.

 

Quoting just in case

One thing for sure it's going to be an interesting season.

 

Wild be brilliant if Casey came back. But they are going to have there hands full with that New Honda production model. Wonder how much back up Honda will give.

 

Lol! I call a rain soaked Le Man as the most likely GP for his win

 

Danny Kent riding Husqvarna next year with Ajo as the team mate. Should be interesting.

 

Ajo nepotism at its finest

Proper down to earth chap

 

Yeah, I'm up for that as well - the same crazy betting tactic worked for the French when they played Ukraine recently

 

Count me in

 

Hell yeah

 

Oh God what have I done?!

 

Any more people and your going to need an official photographer and media crew.
