Yes, that would be cool to meet some Yanaha 2-stroke fans. :)
We only have the guest passes so no seats. We will have to find a grassy knoll to watch from. Otherwise I hope to be in the garages. :).

Good race today in Argentina. Maybe Marquez is not invincible after all.

Re: MotoGP 2015
Only got to watch the last 5 laps on Youtube but WOW! did I need to watch anything else? Great battle, Rossi was amazing and Marquez was pushed into a mistake...classic Rossi. Marquez better tame down his all or nothing style now that he seems to have some competition, though he's still a gas to watch and to count him out would be madness.
Re: MotoGP 2015
Solo, buy the MotoGP video pass. It's well worthwhile. You get to watch both qualifying sessions Sat as well as Sun warmup and the race including all the rider interviews.
We have been streaming it off my iPhone onto the TV via Apple TV. Works really well.

Re: MotoGP 2015
If they had been on the same tires, Marquez would probably have won but it was his choice. Also his choice to try to push Rossi out of his way. Will his ego be his toughest competition? Great race though.

Re: MotoGP 2015
I'm not so sure he tried to push him out of the way as he was too far forward on the outside and when they came back up he was flicked off, still his mistake. I think it's heat of battle stuff, Rossi's an old pro and I think Marquez may have to ride smarter that close to the end. Second place would have kept him in the points much sloser to Rossi.waltmil wrote:If they had been on the same tires, Marquez would probably have won but it was his choice.

I think next race will be on MotoGP streaming.

Re: MotoGP 2015
MM is giving too much space in his head to Rossi. Rent free. It seems Rossi has figured a few things out. Now if Yamaha could give them the drive out of the corner it will be less work for Rossi.

Re: MotoGP 2015
Don't know if Yamaha can do anything about the drive out of corners since higher corner speed has been their philosophy for a long time. The bike has been set up for Lorenzo but Rossi has reinvented himself to ride it. It should be a most interesting season. It would be great it the doctor could win another championship.

Re: MotoGP 2015
Well Jerez wasn't the most exciting race, good to see Jorge back on form. So much for Rossi being in Marquez head. Rossi has to get better starts if he wants to race. He used up his tires early catching up and Marquez still had some left when he got close. Thankfully we have a long season ahead.

Not the most exciting race, though Rossi tried at the end, but the points are close and could really pick up once everyone is in top form and without injuries/issues. Marquez/Lorenzo battles could be epic and if Rossi can stay in the fight could be a very good season ahead.
