    The most likely winning formula is best rider, best bike, best team management, inc best suspension and best tyres (best budget helps too,,,,,,,,,)

    Take any single one of those things away and for sure you can expect the rider to be placing pressure on the weakest link , and if he didnt then he wouldnt be doing his job.

    Of course the media take a completely different view to gain a story "He's Spoilt", "He's a Whinger" "He cant handle losing" "they cant build a good bike" blah blah blah

    Congrats pritch, I've been retired 8 yrs, I couldn't fit a
    job in now ! hahahaha. Jokes aside, you have to be organised and have interests or if you like your own company it's a breeze.
    Of course I now do all the cooking and chase the vacuum.

    Who knows chould be politics with dorna , i did wonder why as well only going get further behind.

    I read where car side was taking bit of hit with down turn everwhere.i know suzuki big

    here but not in the usa compared to honda and yamaha . say more money budget.

    Even in barry shennes day did some odd decsions , seemed to me heron english based team

    Doing the best they chould even made own carbon chassis.

    good old Mr sheene take blow touch to his suzuki headstock re angle it.

    What read recently out all the factorys suzuki seem most set in there ways like to do things there own way.

    Dont like to look like just following the trends etc there racing bikes have to follow to what there selling.

    Why gone back to the inline 4 i think is a good move not i know jack about building race bikes.

    They also might be waiting to see how this engine leasing. yam Bike building honda goes.

    Love to see carl cutchlow on a suzuki cant see them going with bartista, seem to be shunning former

    Guy in charge of team though he got them on front row in austrila very werid.

    You can't be serious! That'd add another $100,000 to the $10,000,000,000 existing budget Pete!

    1% price changes can't be tolerated.
