All I can say is wow. Just wow.

Wtf was up with that start? Never seen anything like that. The whole field was riding carefully except the master of disaster, Marquez. His pace was clearly unmatched since he always rides balls to the wall but his antics this race should have had him disqualified. Absolutely no reason to ride so wrecklessly since he was a second faster per lap than pretty much everyone on the grid but the young n dumb couldn't resist the urge to bully bump people out his way. Whatever penalties he has comin his way is very well deserved. Otherwise, great race by crashlow, zarco and rins.
 
What a race. Absolutely great. Marquez should've been black flagged, but the 30 second penalty put him out of the points anyways so it was all for nothing. Sucks for all the people he kept dive bombing though...
 
unbelievable

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."

I thought marc had outgrown that silly ..... I was just defending him last night at dinner - the italian at the table was calling MM an idiot - I'm like yeah He's completely changed :rolleyes:
 
Mark Marques is a dick, a few years ago Hopper did something similar and got suspended for two races. MM should have got the black flag AND a one race suspension. He could have killed someone.
 
As a MM fan I have to say, WTF? I bet there is more to who told him to do "what" and start "where" at the start. Race officials had their "head up their ass" all day ( wet race? dry race? how to start the race etc.. ?) Unfortunately, after incident with Rossi , MM should have been blackflagged and possibly suspended a race to help difuse any animosity and upcoming retribution from not just Rossi but some of the other riders. ( still early yet and might still happen) If he is allowed to race at COTA with no grid penalities he will most likely lap everyone else like 5-times. (sarcastic, but possible). And for all you Rossi fanboys Rossi has shown a lot of the same recklessness early in his career you adorn on MM. Should be another GREAT season!

The Marquez camera views of him trying to cut inside and impacting other riders are track-day/club racing nightmares and are NOT racing. Dock him a race...that was .........
 
I would like to ask what people think race direction should have done?

IMO there is no way anyone could have predicted that on the start of a race the whole field (-1)would back their bikes off the grid while taking a start from the back of the grid penalty .

I think of course there will be a rule change but honestly I can't see this as a race directions mistake , dorna mistake, motogp mistake. It actually seemed they did the right thing and it all went to .....
 
Amazing race, but unfortunately this season might not be as fun or as nail biting as the last. Marc's speed (as well as Cal and Dani during practice) has shown that Honda has fixed most of the bikes issues.
 
Are you guys remotely serious with the black flag and or more. Let's recall 2015 rossi goes off the race line looks for Marquez and makes him crash. No penalty at all. Well 3 points on the race license which is no penalty but rossi had one so made him start at the back.
Zarco nothing for Danny's crash, pertucci nothing. So on it goes no points for Marc no points for vale difference is Marc will still win the championship.

Ps I hope Rossi doesn’t have nightmares from seeing Marquez name on the board.
 
Ducati need to put Jack on whore gay's bike, very entertaining race. MM need a one race suspension minimum.
 
MM and VR incident Malaysia was because VR slowed down and Mm turned in, thereby losing the feont. MM’s action.

This race he used everyone as bumpers. .... him. Ima polish up my spanish cusswords and
Throw them at him in Austin

watching MM do that stuff was so painful . It's like watching Mike tyson bite the ear.
One min I'm cheering Marky Marc and the next I'm like wtf are you doing.
it served no purpose he could have easily passed Espargaro and rossi without touching them they were in the race line. pedro and zarco were fighting for the race line and IMO zarco won. not the same .
it was like he lost his mind for a few seconds
like watching a dog humping the couch pillow.

MM's words after the race prove he has not the slightest clue what he did wrong.
that probably bothers me more than a guy who overrides his talent .
