I was riding with him every inch of the way, but really he never put a wheel wrong - on the limit but never loose. A brilliant ride, most certainly re-established his cred.
Whereas with Val I thought he was overly confident and unnecessarily fast/risky.
I hope Jack's form continues and builds. He is only 21 and has the promise of a long and exciting career if he can establish a foothold in an 'A' team. He gave a good, if emotional, (and understandable so) speech.
May you live in interesting times.

Re: The Wet Jackass
Yeah and he's realistic too. He's not likely to see that happen again unless he gets a better ride, or Honda give them more support.

Re: The Wet Jackass
Yep. I've been shocked!
I've knocked him relentlessly for the last 2 years and I've had to eat all my words over the last 2 rounds.
It's a shame it didn't rain earlier in the season. He might have ended up with Vinales seat for next year.

Re: The Wet Jackass
Great ride in Germany - especially like the way he beat Rossi in the dry at the end........
Re: The Wet Jackass
I've had faith in Jack through out although I was fearful he might get cut before he showed his true potential. I think the German GP was important for the maturity shown.
I had given up on Cructhlow though. His second was impressive, and he was strong all week end.
I would have been very interesting if others had made the same tyre choice and timing as Marquez. I doubt if anyone else had the skill, concentration and daring to thread the eye of the needle as he did - incredible.
What's happened to Loranzo

Re: The Wet Jackass
Haha. Poor old Jorje don't like the wet apparently. Good to see he has at least one Achilles heel.
Yeah, Marquez's tyre change was inspired, and very well riden. It out foxed the entire field but all the other front runners stayed out way too long. F1 relies on the same sort of calls every week and they have a Tactician on the pit wall monitoring those developments, so they should have somehow pointed out to those guys up front how slow they were going.
The Sachsenring is a crap track. Bring back Hockenheim!

Re: The Wet Jackass
Rossi's team tried to tell him on his pit board, but he ignored them.

Re: The Wet Jackass
Yeas, I think there was a heavy cloud of red mist up front there.
They should use some sort of code on the pit board in that scenario, like adding an extra "BOX' for each second per lap they're dropping. By the end Rossi's board would have been filled with BOX's and he might have got the bloody message.
