Here:MOTOGP 2015 18 OCT PHILIP ISLAND CIRCUIT

Probably the only circuit the concessions granted Ducatis could shine at. Everywhere else, too many turns and their hilarious power advantage falls apart on because they just can't seem to turn.

I used to watch World Superbike and the Ducatis were given hilarious advantages there too, then Honda built a V-twin (RC51?) so they could play with the same rules then it got nerfed into the ground because the Honda was pulling like 10 bike lengths on everyone every straight.

Why the fuck does Ducati get these advantages?

Anybody else think Marquez basically turned into Rossi? I'm kind of a Rossi fanboy but Marquez seemed overly aggressive the whole race, and looked like he turned into Rossi and Rossi just put his knee out and happened to hit the brake lever. Starting from the back in Valencia basically gifts the championship to Lorenzo.

Doesn't matter, Rossi clearly did it to run him off line which is frowned upon. Marquez is a fucking douche, no argument from me, but Rossi fucked up. He didn't mean for him to crash but Marquez, because he's a stubborn asshole, would rather turn into Rossi's bike than brake to avoid being run off the track.

I'm sure thats true, thats how race control saw it. Since Rossi ran Marquez off the line anything that happens afterwards is Rossi's fault. I can maybe get behind that too but I think Marquez has to avoid causing the collision in that case. He should have let Rossi just run him right off the circuit and then he would have gotten penalized for that, rather than running into him. Hindsight is obviously 20/20 but..

I shed no tears for Marquez for sure. Hes the dirtiest rider I've ever seen and been the cause of more than a few riders crashing over the past 5 years. Even on the way his first title he rammed Lorenzo in Catalunya to finish second and gain the 4 points he won the title by and later hit Pedrosa from behind to mathematically eliminate him from contention.

Marquez makes some amazing but risky moves, I just started watching MotoGP again this year and some of the shit he does is out of this world. But if you go back and watch the 2-3 laps before Rossi punted Marquez Rossi had to avoid him like 5+ times while Marquez was steaming forward out of control. I would've rather Race Control penalized Rossi 7 points and let him start wherever he qualifies in Valencia rather than fucking up the Championship the way they did.

Marquez was out of control the whole time.

Was there live for the fourth straight year to see a phenomenal race in Austin. So fucking slick, tons of hydroplaning on turn 11. Loved the race, real race of skill. Hamilton's conservative attitude towards the track paid off. Nico probably just wants to leave society for awhile.
