Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looks like MM got pole position for Jerez. Man this kid seems to be on a roll, all he needs to do now is perfect the whole shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesmini080877 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yep another pole for MM. As an Aussie it's great to see jack miller get another pole in moto 3 and hopefully his 3rd win. What do people think about the dominance of Marquez and the apparent lack of competition. I know it's not his fault he is a great talent on the best bike but from a viewing perspective it's already getting boring to watch unfortunately. Does anyone think he has any real competition unless he crashes and that stuffs him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer festertruck Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 I enjoy watching him stalk the leader and then make an effortless pass to take the lead where no one else would. I especially like watching him beat Lorenzo. He does need some practice with his starts. That was supposed to be his focus this winter. Watching him come back from seventh last week was pretty fun. I like this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recalcitrance Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Watching the interviews, I've noticed that Lorenzo has learned a touch of humility starting around the final two races of last season. Nice to see. He's still a sore loser but at least he's not as pompous as before. The only thing worse than a bad loser is a bad winner. MM is good but was far more entertaining to watch in Moto2. But the machines account for some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dedofnite Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Wow! Cool race. A nice little surprise on very cooked tires and some suspense this time. Very fun! Time for a fast ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks for posting a result in the title . I consider a pole position a result but usually record the races and watch later. Enter a result in the thread if you want to ruin it for others. At least there is the option to not open it.

Sorry but you're making assumptions. A LOT can happen in a race, ask the riders that crashed out and the few riders that had to drop out (Did I give too much away here too?) The starting line results are on the web, so I didn't think it was a big deal. The last time I put spoiler alert on a pre race post people were saying it didn't need it as it wasn't a race result.

Member Contributer Dedofnite Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Some do like to watch the qualifying as a competition and enjoy the suspense, but have to record, so it might be better to not put the result in the thread title so they have the option.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Exciting first 2 laps....then MM gives the class a lesson. I think he actually enjoys mixing it up for position and wishes that someone (anyone) could match his pace for a while. Four races in and he has a full race lead in points over the second place rider who has finished on the podium each race. BTW, spoiler alert.

Member Contributer JZH Posted May 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 4, 2014 Please edit the title--pole is a result! (And even if it wasn't, we're now discussing the race...) Well, well, well... Anyone want to bet against MM in Le Mans? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayarearider Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Best quip of the post race interview, MM93 expressing the use of the curbs seeking traction. The Reporter follows up with, "Can you explain why there's more grip on the curbs because it's illogical to us humans". DP26 chimes in, "Yeah, for us Also" (laughter and applause ensues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Havagan Posted May 5, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am with vfraustin on this one. I like to watch qualifying without knowing the results for the suspense -- did anyone crash out? Blow an engine? Get taken out by "The Wrecking Bau" Bautista?

Mikesmini080877 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 not wanting to start a fight but if people don't want to know any results what so ever wouldn't you just stay off the internet all together until you have watched whatever you have recorded. makes sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sorry if I ruffled any feathers but I really didn't think it was a big deal. Personally I really don't care if I know the outcome of a race before hand as I am more interested in watching the racing action. Who's in pole position, and where everyone else lines up is really irrelevant to me, as there are no guarantees. Just because you're on the front row does not mean you're going to finish on the podium, highly likely yes, but no guarantee. Just ask Jorge! Being on the West coast of the US means most of the races, at least the ones in Europe, start at 5 AM PST so I can either get up at 5, watch the race and have the rest of the day to do whatever. Or I can record or stream it later if/when I make the time to do so and watch it later. I typically choose the former as what is the harm of getting up early an be done with most of my day before most people even wake up! Many times I've watched the race, went on a ride and later in the day at noon I would go to the D-Store or the Ducati dealer in OC and watch it again with fellow riders. At least the East coast people can sleep in a little and still catch it in real time! With that, I will be happy to comply with the consensus of not posting ANY race or pre-race result in the title of the post and I swear on the souls of my grandchildren, that I will not be the one to break the peace we've made here today.

interceptorrider Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I know this is immature of me, but, I am kinda' enjoying watching George get knocked down a notch or two. He seemed to get really full of himself. He is now getting his clock cleaned by a young upstart, an old team mate, and himself. I never cared for the guy much......always whining when it didn't go his way or when someone rubbed his bike or was as aggressive as him. This whoopin' is kinda like when Ben Spies started taking it to Mladin on a regular basis. Anyone else? Ride safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd complain in the press conferences about hard passes, calling it dangerous and one weekend, a day after whining and talking about the danger, he did the same thing to another rider. He's a prick! Love seeing Rossi best him. Never been a fan of the Spanish riders, none of them. I like the US (of course) guys, the Italians, and the Aussies for the most part (definitely not crybaby Stoner).

duccmann Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Me Im freekin stoked about MM ability to ride , entering turns with his rear wheel in the air... this is a new era ..theres no one that can catch him... yet that is. I'm fer sure bummed out that Nicky Hayden is doing so badly and the Ducs are always in the top 5....Devo is riding the wheels off that beast. Im glad that JL is getting his ass handed to him... especially yesterday by Rossi.. he's an arrogant ****.....JMOSent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Marquez seems to have found something nobody else has. Taking the first 4 in a row? Not just luck. Spoiler alert, watch the race as soon as you can, and don't read about it online before then, if that bothers you. I watch it on DVR, so I can skip those ultimate beating hell out of some other guy ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
