YZEtc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 That was a great MotoGP race. Good way to start the season. The Doctor is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Great race! After all the practice session domination from Honda and the pole from Ducati I was a bit skeptical. But what a performance! Nice show, nice outcome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalv Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thrilling race. Don't think I took a breath for the last 5 laps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member so1102 Posted March 29, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 29, 2015 That was really surprising, because the Ducatis had the pace. I think ultimately it boiled down to tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZEtc Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Tires, and Rossi riding his butt off. He da man. Lorenzo, who looked to be on target earlier in the race, says a problem with his helmet caused his vision to be partially blocked and he dropped back.So, I guess tires, riding butt off, and helmet liners.

novatiger Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thrilling race. Don't think I took a breath for the last 5 laps!!Same here. I didn't think Rossi would pull it off at the end given the obvious speed advantage of the Duc. First live MotoGP race I ever watched, but I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Cruizin Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It was so great to see Rossi back on top. This could be a great season for him if he can stay healthy. The Ducati's do look fast this year though. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brickst3r Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If Marquez hadn't messed up in the beginning it could of been a different race. From dead last to 5th is crazy. But i'm a Rossi fan so hopefully he can still give Marquez a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm a Rossi fan so well pleased and he had a long way to catch up, he did well but those Ducati's are rocket ships down the straights, could be a interesting season as Honda wont take it lying down.

fzhooligan Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Rossi killed it. But those Duc's on the straight though!! We'll see if they continue to do well though. After a few podiums they're gonna lose their special handicaps right? '15 FZ-07 '93 Honda XR650L (supermoto/pig) (SOLD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknown Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I would think so, but they don't turn in/ brake nearly as well as the Yami's do from what I could tell so it may even out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member pgeldz Posted April 1, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 1, 2015 What a fantastic race. I haven't been on the edge of my seat like that during a race in a very long time!

Guest montana07 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 What an incredible race. Awesome seeing the ducati's new bikes performing, rossi pulling out the win in the last couple hundred yards. This season is off to an excellent start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The visor liner in Lorenzo's helmet fell down and obscurred his upper vision during the dicing, that's why he slowed. Will be interesting if he makes sure it stays up. And Marquez made it all the way back to them from the back of the field. This could be as good as season as the Moto3's were last year. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another great race. The Ducs barely finished the race with enough gas. I think one of em actually ran out after the finish line and got a ride back. I think it was Iannone.

aeisan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Considering the race was over after about 6 laps I wasn't as excited this week, but good lord did you see Marquez's last Q1 lap? THAT was amazing! The the Ducs proving their worth with all that HP, Dovizioso could have a championship season. If he finds a way to start winning, everyone else better look out.

fzhooligan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not gonna start another thread for it, but the first World Superbike race in Aragon on Sunday was pretty intense as well. '15 FZ-07 '93 Honda XR650L (supermoto/pig) (SOLD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
