Yeah I can't find anything different but when you look at his problem from 2wks ago, it makes a lot of sense to me.  ;)

Nothing on Speedcafe would indicate retirement, three stories over the last three days.

Yeah they showed a twitter or some other platform photo of him watching the race with family during the telecast on the Dorna setup.
No mention of retirement.

Good race and a great result to see after all those starts.

Your medical basis for that?
Yeah he needs to tone it down a bit but it is curtains for anyone with a big enough crash.
He first suffered diplopia in 2011 it was I believe. Went 10 years before suffering it again.
I aint writing him off yet.

Gardner needs more time. I don't see him being one of the best but let's see toward the end of the year.

I have been watching for almost 40 years.
Nobody, but nobody has ever been able to push a motorcycle like Marquez.
He pushes over the limit in practice to find just how far he can in the race.
He needs to just knock that back a bit.
The bloke rides at 90% and he is still at or near the front.
Yes there is new talent, yes he is older now. I don't expect him to dominate again like he has previously but he can definitely still be there once he sorts the bike.


Show me anyone else who has ever been able to do this with the front of a motorcycle

Best I have seen no doubt.
Better than Doohan, better than Casey. Rossi not even close.

what your the lone ranger there?
I've worked and been involved in running more Bathurst/world supers/500's/motogp/aus titles/nsw titles/club events which i was also the race secretary than I care to remember.

Yep, he can do things others couldn't, but hes still a human that breaks and now breaks easier than before. hes not the first wont be the last to have to admit defeat due to health issues.  YEp he may come back and win a few races.. but I dont think he will ever get back to how he was.
If your not 100% your not in the game... Even Remy is finding that out with his wrist injury taking months longer to heal to 100% from his training crash.

Being a HRC fan personally its sad to say he still the best title chance of the 3 (Pol/Bradl or him) :(

YMMV

I am not saying I'm the lone ranger at all. Just saying I have seen plenty of riders and he is the best.
We are similar ages and have met. You bought my son's old bicycle off me  ;)

Yeah, I don't see him dominating like he has previously but a healed cranial nerve problem is not a reason to write him off imo.

Yeah he is the leading contender of all the HRC riders as he should be. You forgot his brother btw but yeah no chance there.
He is still one of the best riders in the world even with all the hammering that riding past the limit of tyre adhesion has given his body.

Forking chit heads, it took long enough for them to say it was a beat up.  >:( The way it was worded along with what his episodes have been, made it very plausible.  ::)

It was called for what it was straight away on the other forum we are on. ;)
He is one very determined parquar.
Not that easy to break his ambition and drive.

Yeah I am a huge fan

It was only that source though.
As they said, if it was true it'd be everywhere.

Anyway, yeah I hope he chills a bit even though I love that past the limit style only he has ever been able to do.

Lost count of the number of times I've been stunned by what he can do.

That race a few years back when he just had to grab a few  points to grab the title again.
Nup, goes into a fast L hander and loses the front. Anyone else is down but he holds it and runs of the track. Straight back into it again. Wtf! 8)

Check out the still at the end of the clip
Smoke pouring off the front tyre and he holds it.
Nobody else!

Ducati crowding the front of the grid.
Pecco has good race pace apparently as does Marquez.
Looking forward to it.

Miller has to start racing smart and stop the stupid cockups that he makes in races. He has the talent but seems to lose out on the smarts of racing sometimes.  ???

I can't see that happening, unfortunately. There appears to be a little bit of 'Attitude' there and not the correct one.
