Yooperbikemike's 2013 MotoGP Thread

My apologies, I thought you were referring to the energy drink article.

Marquez and Bautista test in Sepang at the end of the year. Dovizioso, Hayden, Iannone and Pirro test at Jerez some time next week. Yamaha aren't testing.

The miserable season Ben had coupled with Stoners retirement has left me a bit ambivalent about things right now.

I was going to say Spies is really starting off '13 in the hole, but when is the new Ducati going to be ready for testing? Maybe he's not missing much.

New bike ready at Sepang in Feb.

It sounds to me like there isn't an all new Ducati. Although, Nicky tested an all new chassis at Valencia with positive results.

From the riders' comments, I would guess taming/improving the power delivery is the top priority. I wonder if they can do it?

The rumored announcement that Preziosi would be out at Ducati has not come yet, either.

Oops, there it is.

No love for Lorenzo?

From the Rossi Facebook site.

I don't understand that. He's won twice as many championships as Stoner and doesn't say half the stupid crap he does.

I always liked Lornezo way better than Stoner.

It's good we have our favourites don't know who will be my no 1 in 2013 now the angry little Aussie has moved on,no one could light up the. Timing charts quite like him

Someone will emerge. Be patient.

Five days and one half-assed test into the 2013 (off)season and we're already on page 12 with 175 posts. Good work team.

We should have some great rumors, predictions, favorites, hates, nationality slurs, GOAT nominations & denials, (special Ducati arguments) and LOTS of other info/drivel posted by the time the Sepang tests happen.

WTF.....we could hit a couple of hunnerd pages B4 the season starts. :eek1

I heard his book is going to be made into a movie.

Feexed for you. Stoner won in '07 and '11, while Lorenzo won in '10 and '12.

Some people count winning the 250cc Grand Prix World Championship as...uh...winning a world championship.

exactly

Ask Steve Baker about World Championships. But take a few steps back if you talk about KR being the first 'merican world champ.
