MotoGP Argentina

Post by Eraser »

Anyone seen it? It was quite a spectacular race. Marc Marquez, one of the favorites did a warmup lap using an extra hard rear tire, same as Rossi. Turns out Marquez quickly switched to a bike with hard tires for the start of the race so he had an advantage over Rossi at the start of the race. He got a 4 second lead over the number two, but his rear tire wore out too fast and eventually Rossi caught up with him. Then this happened:

Also, Hernandez was on fire:

I hope those vids stay up. MotoGP usually is pretty strict and fast with takedown notices.

excellent race. Now that Marquez has to fight to get back to the top against some solid competition this year, it should keep it exciting.

Definitely. I hope Rossi will win the world championship this year. It'll be tough, but with Marquez crashing, Pedrosa not competing and Lorenzo having health problems, he does have a good shot at it. Dovisioso could be a bit of a dark horse though.
