Repsol Announce Marquez And Marquez

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by bradders, Nov 18, 2019.

  1. Would crack me up if Alex won the title next year instead of MM.

  2. true that but he didnt go straight onto a factory ride!!! also didnt spend 5 years in moto2 trying to win the title!! not that that really means much i guess...
     
  3. you wanna zap down to william hill and get some money on that!!!

  4. That would be very amusing but unfortunately he's just not as good as Marc.
     
    • Agree Agree x 3
  5. Think I might, and £10 on him getting a podium in the first 5 races.

  6. Marc always said Alex was better. Now we’ll find out if he meant it ;)

    the biggest question will be, will Marc bash into his brother like he does everyone else.
     
  7. Spanish oil money ruled Honda's decision.............

    I seldom swear but......

    I fukkin can't stand MM and hate Honda even more......

    So much so I vowed never to buy another one........


    But shhhhshhshh........Keep it quiet. My Mrs is Japanese.. She'll cover me in batter and stir fry me as punishment!

  9. No doubts MM & Repsol played a big role in this.
    But at the end of the day AM has 2 world titles, guess based on this he has the "right" for a 1 year contract on a GP bike. Cal is getting old...would have really loved to see Zarco on the bike.

  10. I just wonder if Zarco has the mental strength for a "works " team, especially one ruled by the Marquez dynasty....if I was his advisor staying at LCR would be good as it's a nurturing team.

  11. Nor were they too kind to Dovi when they brought Stoner in. Credit to Dovi for not being forced out and making Honda run three bikes in the factory team.

  12. But neither did FQ but he’s made quite an impact. Should be interesting
     
  13. Of course he will. I know I would
     
  14. Where would one hand over the cash?

    Asking for a friend :eyes:

  15. Unfortunately for Cal his broken English is worse than his non native English speaking counterparts, god knows what his Spanish is like, probably a Welsh accent with more Sssssss.

    I'm not a fan favouritism when it comes to matters like this, rides should go to those deserving, which whilst his brother has recently done good there's a lot of other lads on that grid who must wonder what they've got to do to progress.

    That said this could also backfire spectacularly and I hope we'll see brotherly fights, and also as they're brothers their focus may on occasion be on each other as opposed to where it should be.

    Could make for some interesting incidents this

  16. Jake Dixon should have got the Honda ride, shown his credentials this year and hope he has a good 2020 and then takes Cals ride in 2021.
     
  17. Leaving aside the dodgy politics & nepotism issues, I’m very surprised that AM would want this. MM is a one off & his brother will struggle in his shadow imo. Where does he go then? I’d not do it unless I seriously believed I was better & would get a fair chance to prove it

  18. AM is just about to find out what the Honda is like. Valencia test is live all day on BT sport 3.
     
  19. That sounds like sporting bet !

    I might have some of that ( depending on the odds of course ... :cool: )

    Has anyone checked out prices ?
    BTW - Is it against forum rules to run a sports book on here ?
