    Plus just the layout of the place is so cool to watch racing at. So many great vantage points. And you can get so close to the action. And the silicon tits everywhere...and it NEVER rains...

    I hope the weather gods provide more of this at Brno.
    No seamless box for the Yamaha yet.

    Not sure he had a lot of say about leaving Yamaha. Still, if it wasn't for bad luck the poor bugger would have no luck at all.

    I could be wrong (hardly the first time)...but I'm pretty sure it was he that told Yamaha at Laguna last year? he was leaving them.

    After he was told by one of the Yamaha management that they didn't believe he was giving 100% while he was suffering from that food poisoning or whatever.

    "I had food poisoning at Mugello," Spies wrote. "Bad food poisoning. I shouldn't even have started the race. I got sick in my helmet, and afterward, I was dry-heaving and shaking uncontrollably.

    "Yamaha stayed in Italy and tested the next day, but I didn't ride. I couldn't ride. I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything. A senior Yamaha employee--that's as specific as I'm going to get-said to me: 'We've invested a lot of money in you. Don't come to Laguna Seca if you aren't 100 percent.'

    "Then, he added, 'We've lost confidence in you.'

    Good enough reason to tell anyone to get fucked if you ask me.

    That link really says it all. Anyone know who the Yamaha fwit was?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Maybe so. But cutting off your nose to spite your face? Better to have sucked it up and proven the flea wrong and stayed on a decent bike. As it is...he's prob consigned to the history books now.

    You can't stay with a team that doesn't have confidence in you. They lack faith in their rider, the rider lacks faith in himself.

    A rider who lacks confidence because his team aren't backing him up is never going to get anywhere no matter what bike he's on.
