Yea Reckless, the sooner the better,kick that handicapping system to the curb.
Yams have improved,but Honda have an advantage,"The Joker" !

The poms , CC and Smith have no excuses left.(or have they?)

I go back to what I said earlier, look at the $$$ Honda are throwing at it, if their "old" bike is that quick, how quick will the new bike be?

Moto2 2015 champion. I am taking a punt on Sam Lowes to stand as no1 at seasons end this year. 2nd in testing yesterday with the chassis parts he has been asking for, for a while now, and has now recieved them. They have changed to White power suspension, and with this now have there own technician on hand, last year they had no one on hand, just in house basic stuff.

Melandri, haha Apprillia are saying they hope he remembers how to ride a bike after the last few days of testing

I took a punt and put him in my fantasy team last year. This on the assumption that he would improve as the season went on. Sadly not. If they run the league again this year I might have to put him in again though.

The Circuit of Wales/Donnington deal has apparently fallen over. No surprises there. The British GP will return to Silverstone?

Bathurst is apparently mounting an attempt to take the GP and SBK races from Phillip Island. Maybe they should go after the proposed international TT series first?

Anyhoo it's a lovely day and I'm off for a pushbike ride.

Again..... ho-hum

That's got to be a piss take. Mount Panorama needs a hell of a lot of changes before even look at it. The only places they can easily put enough run off are through The Chase, Murray's Corner and Hell Corner. Everywhere else needs major earthworks.

Still don't know why they gave him that seat. I guess they'll say it was justified when he starts taking important points off his team mate at a vital stage of the Championship.

If you're team mate is that much slower than you, they get what they deserve. He gifted one race, what more did the frog want

Turns out it was enough, after all, Guintoli won the Championship when everyone was saying he didn't have it in him and wrote him off. He rubbed a hell of a lot of noses in it with that. Still, for a while it was looking like Melandri was going to cost the team a lot more than he was gaining them.

Wouldn't expect any decent results from Melandri for a while though. It always takes him almost half a season to figure out a bike.
