They didn't mention anything about Avalon winning the womans championship this year at fucking all

You'd think that a story about a woman would be exactly what they want for their Womans Weekly type of drivel that they think is Journalism.

They only think about ratings, its their job.
You have to dig for info

How much difference between the men and women times?
I don't currently follow the racing scene but your comment made me think

A few years ago you never really heard about womans tennis now there is a lot more.

Now, having read comments from the pros etc, I dunno what to think. Maybe Marc Marc Marc Marc (Marc) Marquez was deliberately fookinwidhim, maybe not. But... I do think he handled things badly and rashly, courtesy of him probably being under some internal pressure (no, not from baked beans) realising that the way things are going, this was his last really viable shot at a 10th World Champeeeenship Title. He is The Thirty Six Year Old Italian after all, as the announcingfools keep telling us.

MM was acting like a spolit brat he is but rossi should have not done what he did .things have changed from 1983 Fast freddy spencer ran Kenny roberts of the track and himself to win the the world title .

I think they been better to take the seven points advantage off him let him start with his team mate and say here first home wins the title.

I just rewatched Motegi 2010 that crasher was talking about. Rossi was much rougher and riskier on Lorenzo, his teammate and champion elect, than Marquez was on him. What a hypocrite the man is.

That was the year he left Yamaha for Ducati and he'd just told everybody that Stoner wasn't trying hard enough on it. Stoner won in Motegi.

It's classic tall poppy syndrome on here. The Doctor is loved all over the world. He has a great record. The oldest rider in the field, and still challenging ( or he was) for the title.
With the Sepang incident Rossi , Marquez , and Lorenzo were all dicks!
Shit happens! I bet the ratings will go thru the roof for the last race!

I was meaning that you see more of the games not just snippits on the news
The mens tennis used to get far more coverage than the womens IMO

if I was a really cynical barsteward I would say that its all a frikken loada bollox.
Interest in Motogp is slipping.. What can we do to get bums on seats ?. (tv viewers watching)
A good ol stouch between a couple of the top runners will do it.

I think all of the Rossi fans and MM haters should be made to watch it mate.

Lol. Even I've had enough of it and I've contributed to it too much. I just hope the old boy does turn up at Valencia and gives it his best bash! Lorenzo could bin it yet.

Kenny Roberts will be a but miffed at you for suggesting his baby Mondena was not a factory effort, even if it was made in England.
Both those riders were also world champions admittedly one a few years in the future and one in MX.

Mamola was kept around by Kenny and let go a couple of times from memory as to many of his crashes were doing wheelies and in warm up laps etc. I only seen the tail end of his career but I remember him for entertainment.
He had a reputation for goofing around when the sport was a little more serious than it was only a few years earlier on.
Kenny kept him on the books I think as he was a very good development rider and tyre tester.
