008: GP stuff
I'm home~
I came home on Sunday evening actually, but was too lazy to update =w=
The Brno Moto GP race was absolutely superb <3 There were many falls, but nothing too serious - the worst looked like a broken leg, though. Still dunno who that was o.o
We saw both the qualifications and the races. The 125cc class was a bit surprising, as the usual winner and leader Nicolas Terol had some technical problems and despite leading during the first few laps, eventually he had to stop ._. That made me root for Zarco even more, but in the end it was Cortese who won ((seriously, how's "Sandro Cortese" a German name? LOL)). The young Czech rider Jakub Kornfeil came in 7th, which was absolutely awesome.
The Moto2 class made me totally euphoric. Sure, the GP class is the "royal"one, the best, fastest, coolest one, but somehow I enjoy Moto2 more as the bikes are almost the same, only settings and brands are different and that makes the riders more even and the race more exciting. There are a lot of riders in this category, so there are usually many falls/accidents, too, so you may never know who will end up as the top 3. That's why the results in Brno made go all ASDFGHJKL. IANNONE WON.
You see, if any of you remember my past Moto GP entries, you may know that I rooted for Toni Elías ((after Shoya's accident)) the most. Thanks to his amazing results, he progressed from the Moto2 class into Moto GP. The same happened to Marc Márquez, my former 125cc favorite, who went on to Moto2. So, who should I root for?
I'm a faithful person, so I'll stick to my last year's favs: Iannone, Marquez, Luthi, Takahashi, Vasquez, De Angelis, Redding, Espargaro brothers, Aegerter. Plus now it's also the Turkish rider, Sofuoglu. If I had to pick my top 3 ... hmm... Iannone, Takahashi, Márquez. I'd love to put the Technomag team ((Aegerter and Sofuoglu)) in there, but they're not as skilled as those three. Sofuoglu is pretty impressive, though o.o He pretty much took Shoya's place in the Technomag team, but I'm glad he did. He's talented and Dominique isn't alone in there at least =w=
Well now, back to the race, YES, IANNONE WON. We were all pleasantly surprised. He's an amazing rider, but gets into accidents way too often. I'm not really fond of this year's Moto2 leader, Bradl. Don't ask me why, we always have those we like and those we don't, right?
So it looked like he would win this one too, either him or Márquez. But Iannone who qualified as 6th, managed to shuffle in between them and eventually won o.o There were some Italians, Rossi's fans sitting next to us and well, they sure were happy too XD
As for the Moto GP class... Stoner ended up winning pretty clearly, so it wasn't that interesting. There was a very disappointing moment though - Karel Abraham, a Czech Moto GP rider, fell down right in front of us. Poor Abaja, he was at home and yet he didn't get to finish the race.
I have some nice pictures~ They were too huge so I had to resize them a bit, but they're still pretty big. Clicky~
Look at this Abraham awesomeness *o*
Now some Rossi awesomeness~
Abraham's fanclub was right below us, they were so awesome. And lol, Simoncelli is so huge. I C UR HAIR BOY
Here goes the Moto2 winner, congrats dear~ Plus a random Dominique Aegerter pic.
Moto2 packs. Sofuoglu, Takahashi, Redding and some others. Plus the leading four during the race~
Yup so it was somewhat like this. It was kinda nostalgic when I realized that last year I saw my precious Shoya there and he won a wonderful second place. Even had the pole position. Ah x_x
Randomness for the end: I've just found out something. See this rider here?
That's Marc Márquez. One of the leading figures in the Moto2 racing class. What's so special about him, besides being an amazing rider who's progressing really fast? Well, he's a 93-liner. HE'S FREAKIN' 18.
Sure, there are many young riders, but not those who make it to the top so fast. WOW.
Next entry coming soon, I gotta vent myself a bit.
