Ricciardo for fastest lap on the new boots?

MatI · 08-25-13, 04:48 PM

Sorry I watched the rest of the race from the comfort of my bed

Frustrating.

Optional · 08-25-13, 07:53 PM

Very

Oh well, Marquez saved the day overall

MatI · 08-25-13, 08:34 PM

I just saw the Indy race result. Nice!!

Optional · 08-25-13, 09:45 PM

Yeah, same!

Optional · 09-01-13, 06:18 AM

Have you had time for any MotoGP this weekend Matt?

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:26 AM

Hey mate, sorry for late reply, just on my way home now. I took Lorenzo. I was really confident once I heard Marquez had a crash this morning but watching live timing looks like he is on the pace still.

Did you take anything?

Optional · 09-01-13, 07:29 AM

I tried to take Marquez right before warmup lap at $6 but got logged out of betfair and missed it.

Lorenzo looks to have this in hand to me.

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:37 AM

Made it home in time to see last 5 laps.

Optional · 09-01-13, 07:43 AM

WOW!

And what a 5 laps you got to see!

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:45 AM

Far out! That was incredible racing.

Full respect to Marquez, what a peddler.

Optional · 09-01-13, 07:47 AM

These 2 are going to have some epic battles once both 100% fit.

I've read that Silverstone is a better bike track than F1 track since the last changes. But didn't realize just how much better until tonight.

Congrats on the winner.

What odds did you get?

He was in the $1.70s just before start.

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:48 AM

These commentators are exaggerating it a bit. Once a shoulder is back in place there really should not be any pain - but a big risk of it popping back out again.

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:51 AM

Thanks Opti. I got Lorenzo @ 2.75 this morning. Only took him because of the Marquez quotes about how fast Lorenzo was in final practice.

When I heard about the Marquez accident I tried to double up again but the books were well onto it!

Optional · 09-01-13, 07:53 AM

They did say his movement wasn't affected by it. I figured a pain killing injection would get him through the race.

Still, a valiant ride. By both of them. I thought Lorenzo was saving the bike to ride away at the end. Awesome last lap re-pass for the win. We'll see replays of that one for years to come.

MatI · 09-01-13, 07:57 AM

Hell yeah. I thought Marquez had it when he made the move in the last complex, I thought no way Lorenzo be able to get him back so late. That was almost like an old school 125cc finish!

Will or lose, that was pretty epic.

Optional · 09-01-13, 08:02 AM

Do you think the seamless shift Beatie is talking about will be that big?

First thought is Honda top speed will be too much with 3 longish straights at Misano.

MatI · 09-01-13, 08:14 AM

Yeah, i think the seamless shift is going to be crucial to Yamaha if they want any chance of matching the Honda at the moment. And could be really crucial around a track like Mugello.

I'd still give the nod to Honda though, that straightline speed is impressive.

Optional · 09-01-13, 08:45 AM

You watching Moto3?

Sissis is tearing through the field.

Optional · 09-01-13, 08:54 AM

Ha. Jinxed the poor bastard.

Fell from 9th to 12th since I made that post

MatI · 09-01-13, 08:59 AM

Yeah im multitasking watching Moto3 & Arsenal/ManUtd

Did you see why he fell back? mistake?

Optional · 09-01-13, 09:18 AM

He yoyoed from 12th to 16th after that so I guess he did his tyres in getting that far up.

They showed a replay of him hitting the kerb fighting for a corner and just losing the front end, is how he went out.

MatI · 09-01-13, 09:35 AM

Yeah it was a shame he went down. I think you are right with him using too much of his tyres too early.

have you given any thought to Indycar?

Its on at same time as truck race so i didnt bother. Do you like anyone?

MatI · 09-01-13, 12:00 PM

Just taking Will for the win, and have Skeen for the trucks. Just taking 1 pick for each race.

Optional · 09-01-13, 12:04 PM

i think i'll sleep through it and give Will a better chance by not backing him today

liking Skeen more the more i read/hear

Optional · 09-01-13, 03:17 PM

About 200 people played and the ones that played all season probably averaged 6000 points each.

Thats $420 each in sportsbook cash for the 50% of players outside US and probably $300 odd in giftcards for each US player.

Finals did not add a lot to totals, about $200 more for EUros... but lots of people got decent prizemoney rather than a few a lot.

It wasnt as bad as people made out.

well ur right, i was an idiot for not just rolling over all those pts....i just spent about $600 grocery shopping at Walmart this week...$300 worth of walmart gift cards sure would have came in mighty handy!

BUT i am gonna play BTP thi year! i was PRO last year and just didnt even bother...another stupid move
