    Someone agrees with you!!

    Andrea Dovisioso
    You believe he's [Casey] the fastest rider in MotoGP?

    AD: I think about the speed, yes, but it is not just the speed to win the championship. Because if you speak about the speed he would have ten championships, but it isn't like this.

    You rode a 250 and you've watched Moto2. Which class do you think better prepares you for MotoGP?

    AD: There is no comparison; Moto2 is so bad about that for many reasons. The 250 two-stroke, there's nothing similar to MotoGP, but if you are fast on a 250, you are fast, because it's so difficult to be fast on a 250. So when you arrive with good speed on a 250, it means you did a good job, you can understand many things and you are really precise on the throttle. Sure, you don't have the experience of riding four-strokes, but if you see in the past all the talent came from 250 and from the first year they can fight for the podium and fight for the victory. Many people come from Superbike and it's very similar to MotoGP, but nothing happens. It means if you are fast in 250 there is a reason. In Moto2, no. I never tried the bike, so I can't say exactly, but it looks like there isn't enough power. So it's easy because it's a four-stroke and you have too much engine braking. This makes it slide on the entry and this is the opposite way of riding 250 and MotoGP, completely the opposite way. So you learn a style different from MotoGP and this style makes the talent of the riders close, because this is the limit of the bikes. You can do nothing about that.

    If you were put in charge of MotoGP, what would you change?

    AD: What I would like to change is the electronics system. It's something very important for the safety, something very important for the street bike, so this is really good. But to have fun riding the bike on the track and to have a battle on the race track, you need to cut the electronic system. Not everything, but more than 50%, because the bike without the electronics system is uncontrollable and when you need to control a difficult bike you're sliding a lot, you're making more mistakes than now, so everybody is closer; it depends, but they can be closer and you're spinning more. Everything is nicer, so this I would like to see happen

    Traction control TOTAL bollocks, safety my arse, safety for the riders that cannot control the trigger they are pulling maybe, but that is it. Ban it and lets watch whem crash, in the 2 stroke days it did NOT exist, and they were propper women to ride, not like these stroke it and survive suckers, no technique, no control, no JOY, just pull the trigger



    Stoner fits your choice man

    There once was a Girl called Charlotte,
    who lived on foreskins and snot.
    When she couldn't get these
    she lived on the cheese
    she squeezed from the folds in her Twat.
