    Reading that, Dovi and Iannone at this stage on Factory bikes and Crutchlow,Hernandez in the Open Class ?

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Pending the wording of Dovi and Carls contract, I would guess that Carl would be the easier of the 2 to swap classes, carl has been hanging out for the salary he now earns, and I think he will do what ever to be the best for the team, and I feel he would be the better develplment rider of the 2 also based on what I have already said about being prepared to crash trying hard.

    Chassis pitch simple.

    No clutch to down shift means quicker gear changes as well as less load being transfered onto the front wheel whilst the clutch is pulled in, which in turn keeps the rear on the ground better making the bike more stable.

    It is not rocket science, just simple basic logic

    Ha! next you'll be telling us it's easy to win the championship, all you have to do is gather more points than everybody else.

    not much development going on when rider is hurt or new parts destroyed,dovi would be better for the development, he seems very methodical,and he is as fast or faster than cal

    Reckon Moto2 and Moto3 are going to serve up some titanic championship battles this season.

    In MotoGP, Mat Oxley reckons it’s open season on the factories...

    As they say, "Nothing stays the same", and I can't help thinking the Open Class is going to make for some bloody good racing, this year and even more so into the future.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Yep, it would be a good bet that Honda would pull out. (They have done it before.) That would even the field, but MM would still be the top rider, it would just mean he would have to battle with more people.

    Yeah, not a bad thing for us in the armchairs, or leaning on the fence.

    I like Nakamoto's comment about how the spec hardware is bigger, heavier and more expensive than what Honda used to use. Also all this crap about about close racing coming out of this more like the 'old days' is all rose coloured specs. Like we all remember how bunched the field were when Rainey was winning or Doohan, yeah Tui moment. The top two or three raced well ahead of the field then and always will and the best riders do always earn the best bikes and so the cycle goes.
    Cheers

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
