Because stats don't lie...and he's better than your man. Once Stoner is gone...and it rains...and if Lorenzo falls off...fuck...he may even WIN a race for Ducati!

But I doubt it.

Racing aint about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain.

If you drive off and don't make the ladies' tee, it's a jug...

Well finally got to watch Moto 2 and GP.
Fuck me that Moto 2 race!!! gotta be race of the year so far!!
How'd you like to slide across the grass, then the track, on your back wavin your arms to try not to get hit.
Luthi backed it in every corner the whole race great ride.
I still dunno why but quite pleased to see Queerazz fall off

Moto Gp well Lorenzo just made himself look soooo good! And he was the best on the day.
Shit Rossi second, and passing Stoner, bit of drama to keep things interesting
Poor little Pedro looks like he just ain't quite got it!
Them Tech 3 boys what a storming season for the team and excellent competition between them.

Water was just what the doctor ordered (excuse the pun) for him and the overall championship!
All and all you couldn't have asked for a better nights racing

We NEED Ducati to stay (and be competitive) or MotoGP as we know/knew it will be gone. Yamaha and Honda can not leg it alone. I had been giving the CRT class the benefit of the doubt up till now as I could see were Espelata was coming from.

Now I see clearly that there is no way in hell MotoGP will survive on a diet of CRTs. Espelata would have to bite the bullet and give way to WSBK.

Then the best riders of the day will be riding in the WSBK series and what a series that would be. All the finance available to road racing, the calendar and tracks and the manufaturers interests would be solely focused on WSBK. After the last WSBK race - woohoo

We NEED Ducati to stay (and be competitive) or MotoGP as we know/knew it will be gone. Yamaha and Honda can not leg it alone.

The rights to both the WSBK series and MotoGP are owned by the same holding company now.

A week or so ago Dorna, the Flammini (?) Bros (WSBK), the FIM and others were closeted in talks.
I haven't read yet what the topic was, maybe they aren't saying?

It might just be that they were all figuring out how to sell their shares before Rossi retires?

There'll be millions of people that stop watching when does without doubt.

That report dates back to 10am 22 November 2000?

Oops! I did a Google search and found that item Didn't notice the date but that does explain why Kawasaki and Suzuki got mentioned as MSMA members.

So I'm still looking for a report as to what they were discussing...

Just goes to show that not a lot has really changed, 'cept we lost a couple of manufacturers

Here's a more current interview, I'll have to go and search who the dude is now, and why someone bothered to interview him?

I find that hilarious. I personally can't see what the hell's wrong with saying you're out at the end of the year. Not like he did a Kevin and pulled the pin early...

[GD66]

Me too. And I wouldn't place too much faith in the gibberings of Carlo Pernat, who these days is more of a fair-weather sailor opinion-wise. Clearly he's unhappy Stoner badmouthed the corrupt, blazer-wearing Spanish clowns whose frequent tampering with the rules, greed and obsession with making one rider bigger than the sport has dragged credible GP bike racing to its' knees.

Someone had to say it !
