MotoGP Estoril

Tråkigt race tycker jag, jag somnade ju i soffan en liten stund. Det brukar man ju inte göra direkt :(
 
Håller med...tråkigaste hittils...och 125 som började så bra... :(

Funderar faktiskt på en RGV för 250SP om det gläder dig. Det är dock inte ett logiskt val utan ett estetiskt då jag tycker Aprilian är ful.

Det gör du rätt i! Suzukin e mycket finare, ovanligare och säkert lika snabb med rätt förare... :tummenupp

Fast det bara råkar sammanfalla med ditt eget val av motorcykel?

Yep. Suzukin köpte jag inte för att det var en Suzuki, utan för att det är en läcker och ovanlig hoj. Hade en Honda innan och kan tänka mig i princip vilket märke som helst som nästa hoj...sålänge prestandan och utseendet är ok!
 
Jävla Biaggi och klanta till sig. Jävla Gibernau och köra säkert. Jävla Rossi som vann. Tråkigaste rejset på länge. Tråkigt för spänningen, tråkigt för mig eftersom jag håller på klanten Biaggi, tråkigt för melandris grymma lack... :tummenupp till Hopkins som gör ett bra rejs

Nä nu överdriver du...ETT tråkigt race är inte hela världen...nästa race blir säkert mycket mer spännande! :banana
 
Jag somnade under 250 och vaknade när Biaggi stod på öronen. Sen somnade jag igen. Rätt kille vann, dock. Rossi bjuder verkligen på sig själv. Stora ögon och andra tokigheter är vad folk vill ha.
 
På tal om det, är det någon mer som tycker att Rossi och Carolina Klyft är lika? Börjar bli rätt trött på bådas minspel. :tungan

Det finns ju gott om Honda-förare som är nästan, men bara nästan, lika bra som Rossi. Dock tar de bara poäng från varandra i stället för från Rossi som skrattar hela vägen till podiet. Om inte han vinner så är det alltid en ny Honda som vinner, aldrig samma. Dunderfel taktiskt var ju när Tamada körde ifrån Biaggi som behövde poängen mycket mer. Ingen gillar ju team-order men i det här fallet skulle de ju faktiskt göra mästerskapet mycket mer spännande. Honda saknar en stark förare som dessutom kan utveckla hojen. De har en massa 2:or som inte har en aning om hur hojen ska kännas. Kolla bara på vilken förvirring som råder angående det nya avgassystemet, om huruvida de ska köra med det eller inte. De chansar på något, blir frånkörda av Rossi och tror att de valt felt på grund av det. Total förvirring och inte blir det bättre av att Tamada och Biaggi har olika däcksfabrikat. Något så centralt som däck gör ju att teamets erfarenhet direkt halveras. Det var ett genidrag av Rossi att ta med sig Burgess till Yamaha.

Som ni ser kan man ju intressera för annat då själva sportmomentet sviker. :)

Jag är också trött på Rossi och Klüft (Klyft?). Föredrar pokeransikten som Roberts.

Vad händer med honom till nästa år förresten?

Han verkar ha livstidskontrakt med Suzuki, så han blir sannolikt kvar.

Det är förbannat tråkigt att se honom där år efter år. Han är ju helt osynlig! Och borde inte Suzuki vara nyfikna på vad en annan förare kan åstadkomma på deras hoj?
 
Ni som missade det tydligen trista racet kan läsa följande rapport för en uppdatering.

Rossi takes impressive yet boring victory
Estoril gives us an F1 style race

Curly haired legend Valentino Rossi won a Formula One like victory in Portugal leading from start to finish in a 'heavy eyelid' style usually associated with the Krauten F1 star Michael Schumacher. Luckily for the number 46 rider though he isn't German and has a normally proportioned chin.
Valentino's only 'mistake' of the day was his average get away from the lights as the thoroughbred Italian dropped down to fifth place in the first corner. But by the end of the lap his slightly rancid smell of yesterday's spilt ravioli was becoming ever fainter to the average looking also-rans as Rossi simply eased away into the distance. Rossi took the chequered flag by over five seconds with the beforehand concerns of tyre wear, low top speed, and difficulties when lapping Colin Edwards never looking as if they'd affect the outcome.
"Miya racer wazza viry, viry gud" explained a delighted Rossi "Miya bike wazza viry, viry slower on thee sterate but hi ammer viry appy wiva thee crappyness ova thee other racers"

Despite its Formula One like procession there was, unlike Formula One, at least an exciting opening lap with plenty of drama. From the moment the filament on the 40watt green bulb burnt out Italian smallster Loris Capirossi fired his Ducati GP4 semi-nail machine to the front of the steaming pack from 11th on the grid and lead into the first corner. Dwarven Loris, who is roughly proportional to a chain smoking premature baby, continued to lead the race for two thirds of a lap until the superstar Rossi eased past him into the tight, and some would say very annoying, chicane. This is the moment Loris' train of thoughts went from 'maybe I can get a podium finish today' to 'do I know any contract killers?' as his race was ruined by his yellow countryman Max Biaggi. Max, who once tried to set up a charity in his own name, was possibly off put by Rossi's pass on little Loris and left his braking about a kilometre too late and piled into the unsuspecting arse of Capirossi. The clash felled Biaggi who, try as he may, was not strong enough to pick up his evil yellow bike from out of the gravel and was forced to retire looking more sour than usual. Capirossi faired slightly better staying aboard his bike but fell to a lowly 18th position where he would start an amazing, anger-fuelled fight back.
"I was thinking about how great it would be to be taller" said wee Capirossi after the race "when that bearded buffoon Biaggi crashed into me. My mum will definitely be off to see his mum tonight."


Ham fisted. Biaggi gets it all so very wrong...then blames Capirossi

The Italian small fry set about blitzing through the slower bikes and a certain HRC bike finally finishing the race in an exceptionally impressive seventh position - in front of his marsupial team-mate Troy Bayliss. This embarrassing result for Troy could well be yet another rusty nail in his 'bundled off to superbike' coffin as he seemingly becomes more and more likely to be replaced by the crash-happy donkey-flogger Ruben Xaus next season.
But at least Ducati could take some consolation in the increasing pace of their once nail bike. "The bike is slowly improving race by race" admitted a Ducati spanner monkey "We're hoping to be up to speed by the end of the last round. This will then give us the entire off-season to fall drastically behind again before the start of the 2005 season."

Such first lap shenanigans left the field slightly spaced out* by the end of the first lap with Rossi leading from a benefiting Tamada and zombie Barros. Despite an excellent charge from the nippy Tamada he was unable to catch Rossi but held his position for a truly excellent second place finish aboard his Bridgestone shod HRC machine.

But what of Gibbers you ask? Well the part time rockstar and full time bull-chaser made a sluggish start but methodically made his way up the field before hitting the undead wall of Alex Barros in third place. Late breaking Barros, who is now in his 84th sponsor-backed season after being dug up out of a Sao Paulo graveyard by Sito Pons, proved just too big challenge for Gibbers to pass. The site of the Zombie's flesh eaten arse could easily haunt Gibernau for the rest of his days as his off-podium finish has left the long haired Spaniard now 29 points off the lead of Rossi in the championship.
"I thought he'd fall" admitted Gibbers afterwards "He usually does, in a slow amateurish fashion. I was waiting for the fall, but it never came."
This poor result by Sete, and the fact the race was boring, drastically lowered the spirits of the many Spaniard fans who had travelled from neighbouring Spain to the Estoril circuit - ironically a track with a long history of alarmingly dull F1 races.


Monster performance. Barros this time stayed on.

Like in every race there were good and bad performances. A good, if not great, performance came from the invading American hands of the mullet wearing John Hopkins. John, who amusingly often gets very angry and violent when things don't go his way, fired his Suzuki nail to an impressive sixth place finish roughly a million miles in front of his team mate Kenny 'I won the 2000 championship…which shows you how weak the field was' Roberts.

And of course there were bad performers. The aforementioned Biaggi and Bayliss didn't do their job prospects any good and neither did the equestrian youngster Marco Melandri. Melandri, who tries to be like Rossi, was dressed as Spiderman as a 'crazy stunt' and initially looked strong in fifth place. However his chances of not going to the glue factory at the end of the season looked less secure as he went from superhero to superclown by running off the track…on a straight. The Yamaha rider clipped the grass towards the end of the back straight and crashed down in a pile of spiderman coloured carbon fibre. His bike afterwards was thrown straight into the Yamaha skip along with a soiled mattress, believed to have been Capirossi's, that has mysteriously found it's way in there too.
Wise words for Marco - "Flamboyance looks foolish when you're not winning."

And finally, who could forget the Texan Turd Colin Edwards? Everyone. After Colin's 'rivers of asphalt' speech at Donington where he claimed to 'be back' we all eagerly sat back and waited for the mediocre performances to continue. Thankfully he delivered. This time Colin finished in a distant ninth position amidst a barrel load of freshly thought up excuses. But it wasn't all bad news for the toothy American as at least this time he finished ahead of Nicky Hayden who failed to start the race due to hurting his arm whilst playing with his mates on the farm.
