Great race in Spain. What a battle between Ped & Mar (danger close)

Ros doing very well leading most of the race

What was Mar & Ped doing 8 laps before the finish raising there hands for rain & letting Ros through?

they passed under yellow, had to give back position

great race as always. compared to other forms of racing, it is head and shoulders when it comes to wheel to wheel racing. F1 is not even close anymore.

Now that was change of pace w/the wet weather. Great to see that Mar can hang in the wet & win

But, what was up w/Dovi? Seems like the Ducati woke up. I know the rain helped his position but, when it dried up, he held his own. Great to see

Welllll, today was an interesting race lol. Never would have thought Dani would have ended the streak. 2-3 podium for the Yamaha boys. Good day.

^^^Where have you been

Enjoyed the race but curious why MAR was off pace? Great to see a different mix up front & great for PED
Did you see MAR bumping it up w/IAN

Also, the Ducati team has certainly made some improvements

BTW, Really enjoyed the Indy race last week & that track looks great IMO

I forgot I made this thread! I just saved it as fav to get reminders now lol. But wow yes, crazy race. Like you said even the satellite Ducatis are putting down solid times. I think Marc just let the pressure get to him

Was a great race. Interesting touch from Marq and Jorge. Couldn't believe Marc missed the brake point near the last few laps. Ducatis are looking good! They need to dial in w the tires. They do well in the quals but the soft tires can't handle the pace. I wonder how they would be if Casey came back. I would pay to see stoner vs marc.

What???? You say the Ducs are now competing??

I haven't seen one race this season but I thought they were still using that frame that no one could ride?
Apparently not, maybe you guys could fill me in?

I dont know the whole story correctly, but Ducati opted for a different classification this year that allows major changes throughout the season. The bike has gotten better through this 2014 season

They will be introducing a new frame in the next race or two. Here's an article (It notes the Ducati understeers worse than our EVO's =)

Thanks for the link. I don't blame them for snubbing Cal. Really excited to see Ducati stepping up their game.

Really happy for him. I was shocked about that mess up, don't wanna give away any spoilers but wow, can't believe he laid it down on that corner.

It's official, Aragon is my favorite race of 2014. Drama to the max.
