I won't gloat, but I will say I called it..........as did HOS and a few others. It is not how fast you can turn a lap that necessarily wins a race, but how you do in a crowd. Marquez is overly-aggressive IMO. He gets exited and asks more of his tires than they can deliver from time to time. After all, the tires are the only thing that transfers all they are connected to, both rider and bike, into the pavement. They all have their limitations.
And no, I ain't high on anything but Life itself. No dope, no alky, no pussy, ...................just me, my shadow, and my motorsikle and the road, which Rodney still has, BTW.
