2013 MotoGP Season
- Thread starter Hampus Andersson
- Start date
I must admit to thinking Rossi would never see the top of the podium again.
Really feel for Cal, the bike is not good in the first half of the race but comes on so strong at the end..
Great race, it had a bit of everything...

Lorenzo again down and will miss the German GP. No chance to see him back at this 10 left-turn circuit.
Poor Jorge indeed. The metal plate in his shoulder is now bend and he needs new surgery.
Perdosa down and might be able to race tomorrow
That must be a crash festival. Starring huge highside, Iannone, Pedrosa out of qualy, and Lorenzo surely out of the race too.
Lorenzo is out until Laguna Seca from reports I've been reading and Dani may not be riding today after a massive highside (which you can see here: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/6553044/5d4a7e44/dani_pedrosa_doet_lorenzo_na.html).
Riders falling off all over the place leaves the race wide open; last year Dani won by a massive margin to Lorenzo but it won't be the same results in 2013.

Shame that again we won't have a clear championship. In 2010 Rossi and Pedrosa were injured, in 2011 Pedrosa and Lorenzo, in 2012 Stoner and now Lorenzo and Pedrosa.
No Perdrosa in this race
Even without the top two points scorers (Lorenzo and Pedrosa), the Sausagering provided some excellent racing. Marquez defies his rookie status by using his head and taking the lead and gradually building a 2 second gap to manage, Crutchlow continues to over deliver on the Tech 3 Yamaha - Cal just needs to make better starts and Rossi was a solid third. Equally fantastic was Bradl in fourth.
Can someone please find Nick Harris and tie him to something solid so we never have to hear from him again please

Was a good race, great seeing Espargaro and Bradl up there fighting hard but eventually had to let the guys through.
Could get epic today, Bradl on pole!
Was a good race, another strong showing by Bradl and Bautista.
Gotta love Marquez and Rossi too, Marquez passed Rossi the same way Rossi passed Stoner in 2008.
Rossi then decided to joke with Marquez after the race

Good race and great to see a rookie leading the championship. Rossi did ask the HRC team manager what he thought of Marquez's pass given he was rather vocal about the similar move when Rossi did the same to Stoner in 2008 (he was the team manager at Ducati at the time).
Rumours abound that Stoner is set to test with Honda and a return in 2014...Colin Edwards posted a link to the story on FB

In the place of Pedrosa? If it is in a third bike, it will be amazing!!
I think it'll be a third bike if Stoner comes back into MotoGP. I doubt Repsol would be happy if Pedrosa was removed and to be honest, Dani's a great rider just in need of luck for a full season. Most seasons Pedrosa ends up being injured and this hampers his title run.
Yes, I agree! But let's not forget that if Bradl manages to get a good closing to this season, and a very good 2014, HRC will see him as a rider for Repsol in 2015. Also, remember that the are quite a lot of times, that Pedrosa and Honda have disagreed in many things. Pedrosa probably would not ride for Repsol if Simoncelli was alive, so there is not too much love between them.
