Bad News For Yamaha Factory Racing

[Brock Kickass]

Posted on the FZ1 forum as well, Lorenzo suffered a high-speed crash in practice today and is out with a broken collarbone.

I hope Rossi and Cal Crutchlow can at least keep the season interesting, but I really don't think Honda can be stopped now.

Just watched the video. I still have faith in rossi but the hondas are so consistent its scary.anyway go team yami

Would say I'd hope Spies picks up the slack, but we all know that won't happen
Looks like we will have a new champion this year!

True, it would be nice if Crutchlow could turn it on even more than he already has. But I dont think anyone is gonna really threaten the Repsols.

 

[Brock Kickass]

The only thing that kept those Hondas in check so far was Lorenzo magic. He has this amazing knack for setting a blistering pace and then kicking it up 5% more when it looked like nobody could possibly go any faster. Those orange bikes are seriously fast and the guys on them deserve a lot of credit too. It's going to take some serious voodoo to change the foregone conclusion of a Honda #1.

Shit, thats no good for Jorge,
...I know I've hung shit on him before -it's only because he is obviously soooo farken quick, as Edwards called him "a badass, he just doesn't know how badass he is"

It does open the door though for Cal -I hope this last year with M/Y/T3 will be very beneficial for him.

Wait and see upon his returm how hungry he will be to get amongst it and retain his title!?!

it doesnt matter if rossi was on team honda, put a fork in him, he's done. cal deserves the factory ride more than him, but rossi still sells bazillions of tshirts, and thats what they want.

...and like a Phoenix from the "crashes" (get it? Hahaha!) Jorge is back on a bike!

Superman or alien?

Not gonna spoil it. #99 top 5 finish. You could tell he was seriously hurting after the race. Way to keep in the points race. Awesome day for Yamaha!

 

[Cerebus]

Just finished up the race. Bad *** is an understatement.

 

[MNGreg]

That was an awesome race!
MAJOR respect to Jorge for fighting through it and making it through the whole race. Pulling out the finish he did on top of it!

Awesome for Crutchlow pulling a 3rd place again! Too bad he had that screw up in the last lap or two where he got too close to Marquez and had to run wide or risk going down due to the tire touch.

Rossi.... What can I say.. I like him, he has a great personality. However, So far this season I thought he was a great that was just good, not great anymore. DANG, he proved me wrong. It was awesome watching him ride like that!!

Great Race
:wav:

 

[Brock Kickass]

Crutchlow came close. Next time he won't make the same mistake. As for Lorenzo; wow. Amazing performance against a huge setback. He fought through a major injury to keep himself in the championship running. Amazing!

Hahahaha, might have to put a fork in your mouth. Im just saying that because of how well rossi hasperformed lately. Never say never, and I am almost positive that the man is not done .
