    He was arguing with me that Dani never came close to a title win, which imo was wrong, he was just injured too much, taken out at the wrong time or too slow at other times.
    But as a "#2 rider" he's got it down pat.

    So you have now clarified he was Correct! Dani never did, as he was injured as you have said, so he NEVER did come close

    And that is the argument for Dani as the ideal number 2.

    No team manager wants to see his riders carving each other up. That is, taking points off each other. The ideal is, for the number 1 to win and the number two acting as the tail gunner and getting 2nd.

    On that basis, Honda have a good team balance and Yamaha haven't.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

My memory isn't what it was – if it ever was – but I recall that he was riding a Royal Enfield 700 Constellation in a production race when the Enfield threw a rod.

    I sent Oxley a message mentioning the confusion and he replied, “Yeah, sorry got it wrong”.
    OK, so that rules out the Honda but still leaves two contenders and for now that's where it rests, although I may do some looking with a view to correcting the Wikipedia entry if it's wrong.







    An Enfield ! Haven't heard that one before. He did crash one but that was in a Thruxton endurance race. Normally believed to be aboard the Honda, but was on the 500 Manx at Oulton Park in the wet. This was the same day Derek Minter won the 250, 350 and 500 races and the associated British championships. Mac had crashed his Honda at Oulton in the dry earlier in the season, when again Minter had won the 250 race on the Honda.

    A good read, thanks.

    I recall, rightly or wrongly, that Bob Mac was the first to lap the IoM at 100mph. The article is not very clear on that?

    Ohlins forks are worth how much and why? Poor old Dani P - Dani Pedrosa has been left with 'quite intense pain' in his left foot after a big accident in Free Practice 2 for the Czech Republic MotoGP.

    The Spaniard was launched from his Repsol Honda due to fluid leaking from the front fork, causing the big highside at Turn 13 on only his second lap of the afternoon.


    Someone is in big doo doos- Fuk, K-Teck will be in and taking over Motogp also soon
