Which/who is the right mod to contact & check you, then eh, Gav?

[roogazza]

So who's gonna do the biz this round then Oscar?

Vale will do it ! GO ROSSI !!!!!

[Crasherfromwayback]

Vale will do it ! GO ROSSI !!!!!

Pretty bloody good round there ain't he!

[puddytat]

Vale all the way...
If he wins or podiums I might just have to go & watch history being made at P.I.....

[J.A.W.]

Down to the TAB, is it then?

As IT pointed out.. if V.R. does his usual weak Q-effort, then top spot on the box, well, it likely - aint gonna happen this W-End..
Unless Caramello 'organises' a 'fairy-tale' deal.. with Honda, Ducati et al..

[Shaun Harris]

You think if he wins he will actually do two more years though. I was thinking just doing the one class.

Yes I do actually. He is addicted man.

If less accurate than it might be, at least the colours are pretty.

Yamaha all over that. Suzuki Maverick top 5!

[Oscar]

So am I! Does that make it a four stroke?

So who's gonna do the biz this round then Oscar?

Personally I think it will be Honda in first (and maybe second place).
Of course the important placings will come down to how VR and Jl qualify.

Without an outright win, it's gonna take JL a long time to make up the 12 points in dribs and drabs.

The Dr is addicted.
Have you heard the ten year at the top theory?

[J.A.W.]

V.R. was recently asked about alternative career possibilities.. he said;

"Honestly I don't know. But for sure I would've been a sportsman - because I don't like the idea of serious work"..

So, yeah.. that's 'bout what a junkie would say, fair enough then.. if by "sportsman" he means.. ah, nevermind.. L.O.L...

NO, this should be good, with the word " Theory" thrown in on KBR site haha, bring it on bro

I will para phrase it but a uni in Japan (kobe I think)has this theory (backed by pretty extensive stats) that most top sportman only has the mental concentration for about 10 years at the top.
A lot of sports physiologists go along with it. I liken it to battle fatigue
So even if they start at say 18 they burn out faster.
It fits a lot of racers. Yet Rossi is sure bending it. Some that have gone on longer have had years with no success at all before coming back strong at the end, Colin Edwards springs to mind here.
I first read of it in TDC.
Maybe the psychologists have found a way to get around it.

Yea " STATS" Kind of like Numbers that accountants invent to make things read the way they want the books to read eh haha. But I also said for years that, people retire young as they have been doing it for so god dam long, that there real true passion for it burns out, PROFFESSIONAL scene that is. Us home boys, just love doing it, so keep doing as a hobby really. Look at CS for example, years an years and world champion x times an a multi Millionaire. It takes the belly and heart to keep at the top level like VR.

Some of it is due to "Ground Hog Day" - if you stay in 'the zone' you stick with it.. if V.R. had a less supportive missus.. well..

& natural talent & drive come into it too, like Mike Hailwood.. nothing to prove, no money issues.. he just wanted to do it..

Same for the legendary Fangio in F1.. he was super-capable for decades..

Colin Edwards was, like Slighty, a classic 2nd string guy.. competent enough in WSBK, but not 'killer' enough - to claim the top step in G.P. racing..
