    In his defence, he has put the Duke on the podium three times. But he's little more than a field-filler now. Even struggles to sound convincing when he's talking the talk these days...

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I reckon he may surprise as he has been on that shitter for 6 years now with some big name team mates over that period, but only Stoner gave him the learn. Be cool to see Haden on a BMW or Kwaka.

    I did offer Nicky a ride on my bucket, but alas he was pretty committed to the Ducati at that point, maybe he might be keen now.
    I'd like to see Nicky stay in MotoGP, just because that's what he says he wants to do, he can't do much worse by riding a non-factory something in my opinion.
    Then again, if he went to Superbikes..... that could be interesting too. I just hope he gets a ride on something somewhere and doesn't have to retire when he still feels he has more in the tank.

    Bridgestone’s official reasoning behind why there are no asymmetric front tyres. (DE already covered it, but here it is in an official press release.)

    When someone asked Rossi how Márquez will find the notoriously tricky hillside circuit, the nine-time champ deadpanned and said, “Easy!” Then he started laughing, then he got serious again. “No, Laguna is a very, very difficult track; it is something very particular… But anyway, I expect this f***ing bastard to be faster than me!”
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    Yeah, I dunno if he's taking the piss, playing games, or being genuine. Glad I aint racing against him.

    Hayden not having the fight in him? Come on any fucker who has made it to MotoGP don't need to prove they have the fight to any armchair critic. And you could say 'yes but compared to....', I still call bullshit. We only see from these guys what the PR machines show us, we know nothing of their 'fight'.
