Qatar GP.

Något helt annat: Kan inte ni (alla - inte personligt mot nypanik) starta en 2takt vs 4takstråd samt en Biaggi vs Hayden-tråd så att vi kan hålla diskutionerna i rejstrådarna inom rimliga ramar iaf.

//Anders

Det är bara att starta en tråd.

Men det är ändå av stort intresse att se hur den just nu snabbaste Superbike-föraren står sig mot MotoGP-förarna på en bana han kan. Visst, jag kräver inte superresultat av honom direkt, men hoppas verkligen han kör fortare än Shane Byrne som sjönk rejält i aktning hos mig efter de senaste två helgernas bottennapp.

Det håller jag med om. Något måste han givetvis visa, och det vet han.

 

[Ludde78]

Härligt, den chansen förtjänar han!

Japp ska bli intressant, han lär göra bättre ifrån sig än vad Byrne gjorde (och alltså även vad Mc-Coy skulle ha gjort )

MotoGP Race Report - Qatar
Normal service is resumed

(03/10/2005)

Qatar and things finally reverted back to normality. The past few races have bucked the trend of the season but, and not soon enough some would argue, normal service was resumed. That's right Biaggi under performed and blamed the bike. Comforting.

"This bike is so unequal" bemoaned the beard of Biaggi. "I've lost all hope. Hope in life and in my continuing quest to become world champion. Now Suzuki have a real good bike. Very equal. I could so easily win the championship on that bike."

Biaggi, who likes films about injured swans, will not feature again in this report.

Up at the clean-shaven end of the race it was the now two-times Honda enrager Valentino Rossi who clamed his first ever off-road victory around the burms of Qatar.
Thankfully though this race wasn't dominated by the Italian and instead had all the ingredients needed to bake a brilliant MotoGP race:- A last lap dice, some great racing and a comical Gibernau off - all burnt to a perfect crisp in the fan-assisted 1,000,000°c nuclear desert. A scorcher? Yeah whatever.


Rossi and Melandri. Oil and pasta will fly

On the grid it looked again as if the dwarven superstar Loris Capirossi would feature strongly as he sat on his Ducati on pole held up to avoid toppleage by a grown-up. However the race would prove frustrating for the stunted Italian and all the other on-track nomads stuck wearing Bridgestones. The 'Mamola of tyre manufacturers' were actually cursed before the event with the masses of praise being heaped on them because of their successful last two races; "Bridgestone have overtaken Michelin", "Rossi's gonna switch brands anytime", "Hopkins says they burn far better with loads more toxic smoke…"
If there's one thing we've learnt from MotoGP in the past few years it's that Gibernau needs to sort his hair out. If there's something else it's that pre-race bigging up usually ends up in a Petronas like embarrassment. Hodgson's three year plan, Edwards's 2004 championship formality and Biaggi's Sepang revenge to name but three. In fairness it wasn't Bridgestone bigging themselves up but still the curse landed on them.
Ducati claimed that there was significant tyre wear when they pealed off the tyre warmers whilst Suzuki and Kawasaki just scratched their heads.
"It was like riding on warm crap" technically informed Capirossi "I don't usually have these problems now that I can use the toilet like a big boy."

Due to their poor/cursed performance no Bridgestone riders will feature in the 'done good' section of this review. We apologise to both of the KRJR fans.

Within a few laps of the off four riders had made the break at the front as Gibernau lead Rossi, Melandri and Hayden between the camels the dunes.
Gibernau was keener that ever to break his 'Qatar Curse' issued to him last season by 'The Witch-Doctor' Rossi at this very circuit. After performing so very badly Rossi told us of the curse that would stop Gibbers ever winning another race or getting a decent haircut. It seemed a bold claim as many believed that Sete, with full factory support and a whole host of lucrative sponsorship deals, would come to his senses about his wig. Not so. Black Magic should never be taken lightly kids.
Race wise Gibbers has been lacking too, not quite in a Tamada type way, but in a way that has left him unable to get his season on course and without a win.

Mid distance and it looked as if Sete would be able to give Spain something to cheer about - not that any Spaniards were watching as they instead now chose to check out the internet for details of the next Formula One race. Despite the lack of support Gibbers pulled a healthy two second lead over the following trio. His comical race exits seemed further away than the 2006 Bayliss/HRC contract…but the art of comedy is all in the timing…

Slowly, but so very surely, Rossi and his beach chum Melandri began, even with the risk of entanglement, clawing Sete's hair back in.
Melandri was looking as strong a horse. The ex-clown Italian was again showing us his thoroughbred breeding by calmly passing Rossi to take second behind the wig of his teammate.
Then there was a near moment of horrific deja vous. Like the time you thought that because Foggy had retired he wouldn't now pollute the airwaves saying "me" and
"I" but did. This time it looked like Rossi would pile into the arse of Melandri again as he left his breaking a touch too late. Thankfully for all Rossi was able to stand his bike up to aid his braking narrowly miss his equestrian countryman.

This dropped Rossi back to Hayden and gave Melandri a few lengths of which to mount an attack on his bull beating team-mate. Funnybone's ready everyone…here it comes…
Melandri took the opportunity and dived under ex-rocker Gibernau only to run wide on the exit. Sete, powered on by none of his Alonzo-loving countrymen, retook the lead in what seemed like a standard counter-move. But not so. Sete then overcooked the following corner, rode wide and piled through the Qatari desert catching his gizzard on cactus. The laughter from the 36 or so crowd members was deafening. It's all in the timing folks.
"I'm not blaming bad luck" insisted the bad luck blaming Gibbers "Because unlucky riders never get to race at the front…hang on…does that make sense? No matter what I was seriously unlucky not to have the lucky luck with me this time for sure."

So it was down to the two Italians to battle it out for the final five laps. Who would be the first back home to the pasta? Who would be spraying the largest celebratory bottle of olive oil from the top step of the podium? With two laps to go it looked like Rossi as the number 46 rider coasted past Melandri on the main straight to start what looked like his usual, race ruining exit to victory. Melandri now had two choices - try to fight Rossi and risk losing it all or settle for second and risk being likened to Gibernau. Technically there was no choice.

On the very last lap Melandri tried to give the Doctor a taste of his own prescription diving under to momentarily take the lead. Unfortunately for the ex-clown stallion he ran off the allotted 5cm racing line and drifted wide allowing Rossi to retake the lead and the win. Still, we were entertained.

The crowd loved it. Indeed a large percentage of the spectators flooded onto the track - but the offender was asked to retake his seat or risk being handed over to Al-qaeda.

Race winner Rossi was jubilant after the race with the multi-champion claiming that it was his best race of the season at he'd never witnessed one of Gibernau's comedy exits from such a good vantage point before.
"Heet wazza virry, viry funee" giggled Rossi afterwards "Hiya neely kerasha laffin. I adder a viry, viry gooder timer."

Top Bridgestone runner was Carlos Cheque-a as the Spaniard again put in a strong effort to allow his sponsors to work their magic in securing him another easyboat factory ride.

Rookie Toni Elias also proved he's got what it takes to not be as bad as Xaus. After some impressive qualifying Tuby-Toni, who likes pies, finished the Qatar rally in eighth place. Good, but not outstanding.

Speaking of not being outstanding Makoto 'The Rotten' Tamada continued his season of being rubbish. The non-English speaking sub-star was once again not beaten by any of Rossi's mind games until the very moment he retired in about 600th position.

Det ska bli intressant att se hur mycket snabbare han är än 250-fjanten Biaggi. Eftersom han är ung, bildskön, västerländsk men utan härstamning från ett katolskt land är han förstås ett världsmästarämne.

Det tar nog ett tag innan han är uppe i Biaggis klass men jag tror på fullt allvar att han är en blivande världsmästare.

Bara att bromsa med kolfiberbromsarna borde ju ta ett tag att lära sig (verkar skitläskigt)

 

[MC Doktorn]

Vems fans? Den spanska publiken? Den franska? Turkiska? Vilket team? Jag tror du fabulerar hej vilt.

Den spanska publiken håller väl knappast nån italiano som favo , den turkiska har jag inte en aning om .

Att Rossi är populärare än självaste påven och kan inte bo i sitt hemland numera pga av fanatiska fans kanske säger en del

Det behövs två ingridienser för att de inte ska dö. Tvåtakt vs fyrtakt och Biaggi vs Hayden.

Jacque's back - home.
Kwak to quack for the Frenchie in Qatar
(30/09/2005)

Two weeks ago top Frenchie Olivier Jacque was given a call by Ian at Kawasaki asking him to take the role of their regular absentee Alex Hofmann for the upcoming races. This weekend OJ has filled that role far better than anyone could have hoped by falling off at a slow speed and ruling himself out for the rest of the event at Qatar.

OJ's crash came in the first session of practice after running wide at turn eight and succumbing to the sandtrap known as the Qatar desert.
"It is a very difficult circuit to learn" admitted Jacque "There are no objects around the track, such as The Louvre, that you can use for a braking marker."

After his spill OJ was immediately forced onto the spare Kwacker to complete the remainder of the session by team boss Harald Eckl or suffer the cancellation of his snails and garlic bread order at the canteen. However after the session had finished Jacque continued to moan that his back was giving him great pain and that the chances of him playing in the team's basketball event looked 'very doubtful'.
"At first I wasn't too concerned about him [Jacque]." admitted Eckl "I figured because he was a Frenchie that he was just trying to moan his way out of hard work in the style of Alain Prost. It wasn't until afterwards that I realised that maybe he'd broken his back. How I laughed. But I am disappointed that we've lost him from our team for the weekend as I reckon we could have won the basketball event."

Jacque was taken to the local hospital in an Arabian gold plated Bentley-ambulance and kept in overnight for observations as it was the first time the doctors there had seen a Frenchman. OJ was tested on and the results were said to be 'inconclusive' - which is the medical term for 'having lost his notes somewhere…possibility down the laundry chute'.

It's double blow for the Krauten lead Kwak team with their first choice, second nation rider Alex Hoffers unable to ride after breaking a staggering six bones in his foot.
"I didn't even know there were six bones in a foot" explained MotoGP's Dr Costa "You learn something new everyday don't you? My research, however, has lead me to believe that Germans have more bones in their feet than normal people, possibly because of the war."
Costa also defended his initial assessment of Hofmann's foot injury. "A kidney infection was almost spot on" proudly announced the doctor "Sometimes you have to go with your instincts on these things."

Det är ju du som påstår en sak, dvs att Biaggis popularitet sjunkit i allmänhetens ögon, då får du väl ha lite mer på benen. Jag behöver inte definera något.

Jag tycker att diskussionen nått ett läge där man inte kommer någon vart.
Som sagt personliga åsikter blandas med fakta och ingen har patent på sanningen.
Så för mig är det definitivt pungt i denna tråden, ser fram mot
Australian GP.

Det var E22 som skrev så en gång och nu hänger det kvar, men frågan är hur många som syftar till den ursprungliga felstavningen och hur många som helt enkelt stavar fel!
