Moto GP Philip Island
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:48:34 AM »
WOW.  What a race.  I won't spoil it other than say lots of passing action.  It was a near equal battle of Yamaha handling vs Ducati/Honda horsepower.  And it's a race track that even has obstacles like seagulls. 

See this race even you aren't a fan.  It's that good.

It was the best MotoGP race I've ever watched. It will be rebroadcast tonight on FoxSport2 tonight.

I was about to head to bed after SNL when I saw the DVR light come on.  WTH? 

I switched it over.

I think Ducati finally has the bike. They don't have the rider yet, but the kid is coming along fast. Good luck to them.

I think the bike only works on certain tracks.  Joe Maniac is good jockey and was nice guy when we saw him in Austin.

Ianonne said the seagull put a hole in his fairing.  It looked like the hit decapitated the bird.  Bird hits at that track are not that rare, unfortunately.   The track is right next to the ocean.   Some times the rider get's hurt too.

If you go to http://superbikeplanet.com/newind.htm you can read the riders remarks of the race.

It isn't slo-mo but it does tell the story: that gull isn't going to roost tonight.

Dont forget ducati has 2 more liters of fuel per race, and 7 more engines per year than honda or yamaha. They can run a fresher/hotter motor and run richer on fuel.

This does not take anything from Iannone's effort

My DVR was set to record but got a football game. The FS2 race at 11 is Moto2. Not too happy, first MotoGP race I've missed in years and it was apparently a great one.

Great race!   Phillip Island holds a special allure for me, I had the great fortune of living in Australia for 4 years, and attended both WSB and 500GP multiple times in the late 90's at Phillip Island.  What a wonderful venue for racing, both the track and setting on the ocean with the Bass Straight right by the track.  I actually rode my Yamaha FJ1100 in anger around Phillip Island on a track day years ago, which is still one of my greatest memories....didn't hit a seagull fortunately, but did down a few Four'N Twenty meat pies there......

Yeah, the bird took out a winglet on Crazy Joes fairing on impact.  :cheesy:  It paid the ultimate price.

I got the end of that game but just FF about 15 minutes (or so) and found the race.. I have my DVR set to record an extra hour after the show setting in case this happens.

FS2 may have shown the replay midday instead of evening pacific time Sunday.   Or maybe they will show it later.

MotoGP.com. It is a bit expensive but covers every aspect of a race weekend from practice sessions and qualifying to the choice of six different screen angles during all three races. Races from 1992 forward. If you want white noise: pick a rider cam and shutoff the commentary. A full race as the racers hear it....
Might add that I don't have a commercial television package as a monthly bill.

My wife and I were lucky enough to attend this race on the weekend, what a great day, beautiful weather, not too crowded. The only bummer was that the riders couldn't do a victory lap as spectators get on the track trying to get to the podium.

Wow, what a crazy race. I loved it!I was seriously out of breath just watching it. I wonder how much better Maniac Joe would have done had he had both his wings still in tact (pun intended). I'm curious, what do you guys think? Would it have had a positive impact?

I doubt it.  If Dovi had them too he didn't do so well.  Like  pointed out the Ducatis fare better on some tracks than others, as do the other brand bikes too.
