MotoGP 2015

Rabat has broken his radius which is one of the two bones in the forearm.

Topic of the day on Twitter today: Milandri can't get a ride anywhere so is offering to ride for free. Sorta sad for a GP winner really, maybe he should try BSB?

Not sad at all I say, he is disliked where ever he has been as a rider, and now wants to dumb the sport down, by offering his services for free, what a wanker

I see Stroud is coming back (you'd have to bet on him winning straight off ) . But will it mean the same to him I wonder ?
Not exactly Motogp I know.

I'll put my money on the other Suzuki rider. He does pay me that money though, so it might balance out.

History tells me to go with Andy also, due to his consistency. That is the one thing the other rider has not established as yet. ( NOT Knocking him at all ) And I also bet there is a great Bonus deal in place for Andy to win, which when it is your real job, naturally makes you work that bit harder.

There's another Suzuki rider ? is that the young fella that won last year ?
Or is that Shaun, the other Works,Factory rider ??? Just joshin !!!!!!

My guess is Sloan dude

I'm hoping Andrew is as fast as ever...and Sloan takes a dog fight to the old boy. They ride totally different, and in a scrap I think Chop's approach is better.

Anyhoo, go Rossi!

will be interesting to see if Sloan has adapted his riding style, to be more relaxed physically on the bike, rather than they way I saw it in the past, as very rigid actually. His old/current style would be cool for fast very smooth tracks, but that is not the nz tracks nature.

YUP, go VR I say also, would be great for him and the sport to bag a 10th one.

He was not only a GP winner he was runner up in the Moto GP championship and a former 250 World Champion.
According to the wags he was linked with 2016 Yamaha WSB prior to the split.

Lets hope the young gun shows him how it's done. All you old farts will be cheering on Andy of course though.
That said I remember him once making his way from the back of the Ruapuna SBK grid to the front in one lap when he was angry with the MNZ officials. Andy got maaaad skills!

He will find a ride, excluding the failed attempt at Aprillia GP he was properly on form in WSBK. He won on a Yamaha, BMW and Aprillia...
I mean look at how waaamp waaaamp the Aprilia's have been this year, though I doubt there was a rider on the grid capable of stopping Rea on the Kwaka.

That was just rumour dude. No factory team will take him on ever again

I seriously would love to see Sloan win it. He is great for the sport and runs a very professional ship. But Andy is like a true Brother to me, have known him very well since he was only 17, so it natural that I route for him

He was right to be angry, he was wrong to be on track though.

He might have contributed to that by posting a photo of a Yamaha branded item with no comment.

Oh, and it's probably just that I particularly remembered his GP win 'cause I was there watching it.

I saw that as him, trying to get the tongues waging to try and get him the ride Ron

From memory he crashed (very rare thing) on the left hander before nannas. The race got stopped for what ever reason so he wanted to rejoin, he rejoined but they made him start from the back. So by just after the hairpin he'd passed the whole lot of em. Went on to win the race but did they cancel his result? Good viewing regardless!

I do vaguely recall some thing about Andy riding down the pit lane in the wrong direction i year haha, if he had been at riders briefing, he may have known that was a no no lol And all re start grid positions, are meant to be in the order race stopped in 1 lap prior to red flag. I got screwed over there years back, by the club re starting the race way out side the re start time frame, and allowing tony Rees back into the race, that he had broken down in 2 laps prior, and they awarded him points that i was not aware of, meaning I lost the sbk title by 3 points, when tech I should won the champs by12 points, go figure
