I would be interested as to how his test track times compare to Wataru's.......seeing as one is the paid racer and the other is just the bike tester.......

Probably because he was more than likely asked a question mate. Generally...if someone asks you a question...ummm...I dunno...maybe like "What's your view on Yamaha's Rossi replacement, and GP racing in general?", you give them your answer. I'd far rather hear what the guy really thinks than some sugar coated load of shit.

So what do you think the outcome would be if Stoner hopped on, oh say Craigs Honda, and entered the TT at Hampton downs? Will our boys just look silly?

No. Stoner may require a day or so to compute. But then...yes.

I don't understand why companies don't put last year's bikes out there like they used to.

Money. Sill boy - surely he only has to look at his own income to realize how much it costs to have multiple bikes out there - it's not like he pays for his own tyres and oil even!

If he carried that attitude into my garage, and said about me what he said about Lucio Checcinello directly to my other acquaintance, I would have punched him out by now!!
hehehehehe
For once I think I would enjoy that.

Once he was used to the ride - yea I would imagine so. Lets face it - all the riders in Moto GP are fucken talented! Or even WSBK for that matter.

Sorry if this offends some........

I always knew you likes the pretty ones.

Well no....frankly...if you've got it....you have got it!!! and there are riders out there that could step in and ride the tits off that bike because they can ride...their test rider obviously can not...other wise he would already be there!!

There are other...much better riders...

Problem is those other MUCH MUCH better riders are generally riding already. They are in the midst of some competition or another, have obligations to their teams, their sponsors and can lose everything for a few rides (however many it's going to be, but Rossi is hoping to be back this year).

He's right about the amount of bikes on the grid, but that could be because MotoGP needs revamping, as it's slowly dying. It hasn't helped that Rossi is out, as for myself, he's the main reason I watch it. He's got the X factor, for me, that none of the other riders have. They try to emulate him, but they don't have it and their antics just annoy the crap out of me.

I can't see Moaner ever running his own team - a) who the hell would work with him and listen to him b) why would he spend his own money doing anything good for the sport c) fark, there must be at least one more reason, but can't think what at the moment

Good on Yamaha for being determined enough to keep both the Fiat bikes on the grid, even if the replacement is an old never was (he did win some title or race or something 14 years ago, stuffed if I can remember what). It's also going to be good for him to test the bike in race conditions and make it better for whoever is on it next year.

Yamaha HAVE to have the bikes on the grid. It's called a contract.

And I can think of a rider that's both avail and no doubt MUCH better than the sap they're gonna use. Garry McCoy. Get some balls Yamaha.
