    Screw the PR bulshit. My opinion is based on the riding as I see it.

    Have seen some criticism of Nicky having 'only' three GP wins, but if you look closely, the only people in MotoGP now with more wins to their name are Rossi, Lorenzo and Pedrosa................and one of those has never won a championship............................

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

How long you can do that relates to luck as well. I saw him have quite a biggie right in front of me over a month ago now and he was hurting/crawling around on his hands and knees. I don't like the odds of riding like that forever.
    Rossi and CC seem to be close on track but one is doing it easier by stepping back, the other trying his heart out.
    I think you've summed him up well Gaz. While he may be first in FP1 this weekend - but yeah, he does have a desperate quality, never mind the fn torpedoes attitude.

    Very different to the Lorenzo, Rossi style.

    You cant keep crashin like that and not miss a session or race or two he has the pace though but he doesnt have the ability to overtake.rossi lorenzo and marquez(and a little aussie fella) do.I dont think dani has that last little x factor that the other guys have to make a decisive pass when they need to

    I would NOT consider giving CC personal health cover , if I was an Insurer.

    As much as you don't wish harm to these guys when they are out there putting their necks on the line, a few injuries has definitely made for a more interesting season

    As for Crutchlow and passing, I think he just wants to do it clean and doesn't want to be the guy that ruins the championship chances of one of the other top guys. As his points, experience and confidence increase, he'll be stuffing it in there.

    MM has been trying the line Rossi used in 'that' pass on Stoner. He did it on the scooter on Thursday and again in Q2 on his bike. Can't help but feel he's preparing to use it in the race if he feels it necessary.
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop

    Rossi was let away with it, as a racing incident. He misjudged it and ran over the dirt after he was in front of Stoner.


    Planning to go off track to make a pass, will cause grief.
