The King is dead, long live the King.

Yesterday (Sunday afternoon, Japan time) a new (old) king of two wheels rose up to greatness once more!

Even as a Rossi fan I have to admit, this guy is probably the most talented rider in history, I can’t not admire him greatly, he is just one of the World’s Marvels riding the RC213V and now he’s the youngest guy to get to 5 World Championships and 3 in the Premier Class, taking the record from Il Dottore himself.

Disclaimer: Was away most of yesterday at a Bike event in my city and didn’t get to post this sooner, apologise if it’s not super relevant a couple of days later; also as I’m late posting it, there is no Safety Image.

Bow to his name.

Actually, no, don’t, that’s a violation of the Second Commandment, so just say “Congrats, Marc”, “Don’t retire, Rossi”, “Screw you, Jorge”, “Stay on course, Mav” and to Aprilia... “Keep fighting”.

In defense of Aprilia: I love them. I just saw my first Aprilia. It’s awesome.

Man, I didn’t think he’d clinch the championship with this race, but I guess he got Rossi to push just a little too hard.

I wish I got to watch the race, it sounds like it was a good one.

Unfortunately my DVR thing failed and I didn’t watch either, just got to see some highlights on the web...

Great PR for Honda getting it in Motegi, though.

He may very well be the Greatest!

I hope Rossi sticks around, he’s still competitive, but I think he needs the Yamaha to be really really superior to get the Championship or a little innovation in riding style.

I like Jorge, love his riding style, hate his personality, but on track he is one of the greats.

Next year Maverick is gonna be crazy, I hope he can set up a challenge for the Championship.

I don’t think Aprilia is gonna be competitive ever, sorry to say, they just don’t have the money.

I know, they are crazy, I feel like Marc is a bit nuttier than the rest even, his style just defies my understanding, that’s why I love to watch him race.

Thanks! Usually when something big happens like this I like to post here and see where people stand on stuff.

Marquez is an amazing rider. Another great season of motorcycle racing, I look forward to MotoGP much more than F1 these days.

F1 is what it is, it seems like every other era is dominated by one manufacturer always, thinking back, McLaren, Williams, Benneton, McLaren again, Ferrari, Renault, Ferrari and McLaren, Brawn, RedBull and now Mercedes, it’s the name of the sport, before now, we were begging for someone to beat RBR.

MotoGP has been boring sometimes, but this season is on another level, I think it will go down in history as one of the best ever and Marquez is just too talented, now he has a cooler head I find it hard for anyone to beat him.
