MotoGP 2014 @ Indianapolis

[~Barn~]

Ha! J/K. I actually have no idea who wins because the race isn't for about another 48 hours. (it's probably a safe bet that he wins)
BUT...!!

At the suggestion of Mr. madvlad himself, I will be showing the GP race live via his motogp.com subscription feed, on my living room "Megatron". Feel free to come by if you want to watch the race, hang out with other riders and maybe even bring your swimsuit incase we end up taking the part to the pool. I dunno what the weather is calling for on a Sunday, but I don't really care if you ride, drive, lightrail, or walk.

My place is 1 light West of I-25 at the Lincoln Ave. exit in Lone Tree. (10200 Park Meadows Drive to be specific). If you want to bring something by to drink or snack on, I'm sure it will be appreciated. Other than that, I have some Gatorades and a nice variety of breakfast cereals.

Race starts at noon this coming Sunday, but I'm sure we'll be hanging out before then. If you need specifics about anything, just gimme a ring.

P.S. Marc Marquez will probably win.

Can't wait man, a month is a little too long without motoGP

[~Barn~]

Bump it!

The Moto2 race is on now and I'm inducing hunger in preparation for the race.

[madvlad]

Finishing up cutting the grass and I'll be there in a few

[madvlad]

Saw that coming

[Jmetz]

Thanks for hosting B, it was a fun afternoon! Btw the rock guy was indeed almost done.

[mdub]

Darn it I wish I saw this earlier....

[~Barn~]

Thanks for coming out to hang out you guys, I enjoyed it. Next time Mitch!

Oh yeah... Longhorn Steakhouse is the yum.

[madvlad]

Definitely a good call on that lunch decision

[Gramps]

Well you called that one Barn. I'm not sure he can be beat this year unless he wrecks out of a race.

[madvlad]

Guess it's not even a spoiler anymore lol... yea his pace is way too ridiculous for anyone on the current grid to keep up or beat. I'm foreseeing a perfect season in the making.

[Mother Goose]

God dammit! That's twice! I want some butts!

I'm changing the title.

[~Barn~]

Sorry Wick. I thought the 3 days of grace was plenty of time for the humor to wear off. Sorry if that really did spoil it for you.

[Mother Goose]

Out at the track all weekend, so Monday nights are my race catch up nights. I saw it on FB last night, so you're good. Note to self: unlike MotoGP Facebook page.

At least it might not spoil it for someone else.

[texlurch]

Marcs best lap was .1 better than Jorges... so there is still hope

The kid and the Honda are the perfect match tho...

At least my Kawi's are still kicking butt in WSBK!

[salsashark]

Our view of the race... Already making plans for COTA.

Amazing first 6 or so laps, then the rest was recipe!

[madvlad]

Definitely making COTA and Indy next season

Really though, what's to spoil. After 10 races we all pretty much know who's going to win. At this point, the kid and his Honda are unstoppable. I would've thought by now one of the other three would have put a stop to this by now(especially Rossi since he's manage to lead in quite a few races, and Lorenzo at Mugello), but that looks to not be the case.

I'm fascinated by the history being made but I'm also on the other side of it, that this is getting old real fast.

Marquez is an amazing talent and the kid can ride but some of this is the bike. And before anyone says, "well what about Dani?" The difference is that Dani doesn't have the ability to extract every ounce of performance from the Honda the way Marquez does. Which really highlights his talent but I firmly believe that both Rossi and Lorenzo are extracting the most out of their Yamaha's(Rossi more up to this point that Lorenzo) and they are still getting blown off the track by Marquez. I don't think you could put two other riders on the Yamaha and see the same results. Yamaha has the two best riders(excluding Marquez) on their bike at the moment to extract the performance from the M1.

Look at what Rossi did when he was on the RC211V. "Race Direction: Oh!! here's a 10 second penalty for passing under yellow(Phillip Island 2003), Rossi: Oh really?? O.k. I'll just win the race by 15 seconds and erase that 10 second penalty..."

Gotta admit, the Honda is one amazing bike and at this point in time it's the best package on the grid. The fact that it happens to have the perfect rider on it to tap into the potential just makes it even more devastating.

I think someone on here said it best. (I get all my forums mixed up at times)

Put Marquez on the Ducati and see how good he really is. If he can ride that pig and win then we have the proof!

[~Barn~]

Ze other ridears ould hav to be on it too... No?

I don't think we'll be seeing that anytime soon. He strikes me as more of a Doohan type to stay and win all on Honda than a Rossi type to jump ship just because he can.

Well, that really depends. If you were to miss this weekend's race only to come on the forums and see "MotoGP 2014 @ Brno - ROSSI WINS!" You might be a little pissed. But I get what you're saying, I think. If the thread title is going to consistently read, "Marquez wins... again" then there's really nothing to spoil as it's the same as last race, and the race prior to that, and so on. In this case, Barn's title was a prediction, and I thought it was pretty funny.

As I stated earlier this season, Marc has the balls to ride his bike on the ragged edge all race,every race!! He's definitely an athlete to ride like he is.

Honestly if I read a thread title that said Rossi Wins, I wouldn't be pissed but dumbfounded as to how he pulled it off. I would think Marquez crashed out or something catastrophic happened during the race for anyone other than Marquez to win.
