nothing worse than us saying Drew's handsome or Crasher is a maniac. Just throwaway lines.( could be true of course ? )

You're right on one count - but I've no idea if Drew is handsome

That's good news Gaz. I was secretly worried that Audi may have decided to pull the pin on MotoGP. It must have been considered and Germans are not noted for their sentimentality.

Audi love racing though, I for one never doubted they'd stick at MotoGP.

MS was one Rossis best mates. If anything was said (and we know things get twisted?) he was probably saying nothing worse than us saying Drew's handsome or Crasher is a maniac. Just throwaway lines.( could be true of course ? )

Yup that's the way I saw it as well.

Me as well. Rossi loves a good scrap.

I'm sure he thinks he is - perhaps Whitetrash can confirm for us that Drew is the most handsome of the bruvvas.

That scale doesn't confirm or deny the original throw away comment.

I'm adopted!

To long? Are you fuckin retarded?

Hmmm, shall I continue riding the fastest bikes on the planet, living like a rock star, getting paid obscene amounts of money, or should I retire because I'm not winning?

Edwards has got one of the stronger followings off the podium, for who he is. He's pretty bloody handy on a bike too, all things considered.

Not MotoGP, but another who's decided to kick "living like a rock star, getting paid obscene amounts of money"

Wow that's disappointing, although I'm sure his reasons are genuine.

Scott Jones is one hell of a photographer!

Aye.

Really liked: .........the scribe asked him how he got to Europe to race MotoGP from his native Australia. Stoner stared at him and replied "On a plane."

Fair enough

[roogazza]

Aye.

Thanks P, good artical. Sounds like he badlly wanted to be adored and respected, but missed the point with his arogant approach.

Maybe if he has a think about it and comes back with a different attitude he'll achieve that.

To me it's never seemed like arrogance. Just has no fucking idea I reckon!

What a great article. Reads a little like an obituary, and in a way I guess it is, but explains a lot about a man.

I just love that first photograph. Just have a slow look at it and you can see someone at ease with himself in a moment of quiet reflection.
Perhaps moments that were all too fleeting.
