Massive congratulations for Cal. A very solid ride today while almost broken! That crash he had in FP looked nasty. He responded to Marquez in the final lap which was also very good to see.

 

If Yamaha had any sense they'd give Cal a full factory bike asap to help take it to the Honda's and support Lorenzo. There's probably not much chance of that happening though and he will end up riding Suzuki next season.

 

 

..and really I think its time for Rossi to hang up his leathers. He's been consistently underwhelming for several seasons. Had an optimum chance at Le Mans and did nothing with it. Direct comparison to Marquez who had zero experience with these bikes in the wet, got a poor start and managed to show the mental toughness and drive to get himself right back up through the field. Found it amusing that he ended up passing Lorenzo about three times.

 

Underwhelmingly Rosi wins at Assen ......

Well I'll eat my hat!?!

 

Well done to the Doctor. Seems they have worked out some of the issues with the front end of the bike, he looked a happy man stood on the top step of the rostrum.

 

Another solid weekend for Cal too, shame he was a little tardy off the line and took a few laps to get into the rhythm otherwise he could have been right with the 46. Marquez pushed well at the end to not let him by.

Well done Rossi. Not sure about Crutchlow. He's being hailed as Britain's brightest hope since Sheene, Hailwood, Read etc. I just don't think he's got the class or skill to ever to follow in their footsteps. Hope I'm wrong.

Now ill be the first too admit that I'm not too fond of Lorenzo. Find him cocky and there's always an excuse for the machine,having said that my hat goes off too the bloke for his performance. 12th on the grid and a 5th place finish with a broken collar bone. That's ballsy.

I respectfully disagree . I think he has got the class and the skill . What he does not have is a factory bike .

Time wont help . A factory Yamaha or Honda will tell.......

But cals biggest problem (he says) is that in the first 5-10 laps he struggles with a full fuel load and cannot keep up with the rest. Surely that's a set-up problem and not a satalite bike problem?

Yep a set up problem that factory bikes don't seem to suffer with . Do they have something the satellite bikes don't have ??
