Hopefully SA change their game plan for the final. They have hopefully been calling others bluff with their tight kicking game. Kolbe is back on the wing and that suggests to me there's going to be some running on the wing. Kolbe is so quick at turning he will easily spin and twist his way through the English forwards.
The Webb Ellis cup has to remain with the Southern hemisphere.
Apologies for the off topic.

My dislike for MM's ways had me celebrating today in Q2. Serves him right. Such a knobhead. Humiliating the sport like a child. He got what he deserved. I hope his wrist and ankles are aching to remind him what happens when you're a knobhead.

Fabio’s confidence must have shot through the roof when MM simply vanished from being glued to his tail.

EDIT: It sure did....I think he punched his tank about 5 times, to include tearing his visor from one its hinges, upon achieving PP.

I am totally rooting for Fabio to clean MM’s clock tomorrow.

Happy if Viñales and Dovi fill out the rest of the rostrum.

Man, that had to hurt, I'm amazed that Marc has all his front teeth. Maybe he'll tryout for the Olympic dive team? I'm glad he's OK but maybe he'll learn a lesson about being a jerk? He's world champ and has to mess with Fabio? Just that little bit of glory. Petty.

Fabio is really getting it. And Zarco made Q2 on his first ride.

I have to call bulls!t on MM’s claim (post-crash interview) that he was waiting for another rider, not Fabio.

I think MM hit his head harder than it appeared in the crash footage and is now suffering from episodic fibbing seizures.

Even Stevie Wonder could see MM was waiting to follow FQ.

Yea, i like it, mm was being an ass. cant say im glad to see him crash, cause i never want to wish that on a fellow rider, but mm was playing mind games, and that sucks.


He got up holding his wrist. when i broke mine, i knew it hurt, but it takes a day for the reality to set in.

He may be the best rider out there but he's an ass, on and off the track. I really liked him during his first season and saw him win his first GP in Austin. My admiration has been downhill since his rookie season. The worst was when Dorna allowed him to screw Rossi out of (likely) his last chance to win the title in '15.

He's a great rider and love to see him race but for sure like to see him finish 2nd. I suppose his personality is what makes him so competitive and so skillful. It's been said that all racers are egotistical asses and that's what makes them fast.

He claimed to be waiting for a slower rider. Must have been my man VR46, but he was too slow so he chose FQ instead

Over the years, I'm also surprised MM still has his front teeth.
I want to see Zarco in top 8 and FQ win his first Motogp today in Malaysia.

Naturally I want BB to win Moto2 with Martin in 2nd. Alex Marquez finishing around 15th will also do.

On the teeth thing, modern helmets are very effective. I believe you, amos, know this firsthand, as i do.
Watching the crash in slow mo, i can see that he didn't land on his wrist, like i did, but it wrapped around something ugly as he was sliding. That, and watching his left ankle get tweaked while he was coming off, im really surprised something didn't get broken. Pays to be in shape, flexible, and strong as **** i guess.


Imagine how mentally strong alex marquez has to be, growing up with an older brother like mm.

Have you seen Oliveira's helmet from his 310kph crash in Philip Island last weekend. It is impressive how well that helmet held up.
