    That'll be why three times 500cc GP champion Wayne Rainey ended up in a gravel trap with a broken neck then I guess...it's pure luck, or lack of it mate.

    I reckon VR will be happy with top 3 finishes, just racking up points at the beginning of the season. As mentioned their is a huge amount of testosterone on the grid & points to be proved.
    I've always thought one of his great strengths is tactics & I doubt he will want to be clashing fairings at the beginning of the season, I bet he will by the end though. Once the dust has settled and the other riders have shown their cards he will start to charge.

    Expect to hear " We have a few liddle probolems wid de bike today, Jorge, he a ride very well & I have a great battle wid Casey, the Onda is a very fast, I am a happy to be on de podiem, I am a reely looking forward to my next a race"

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Can I make a prediction?

    Jerry Burgess will give Val a package he will use to get on the top step in 2011.

    Not saying how many times though.

    Be very surprised if he didn't win a few sooner or later. If he wins at Mugello the wops will wet themselves!
