MOTOGP » 250: Laverty quits Blusens to seek WSS fortune

Nice ride on Sunday Eugene. Good luck with a WSS ride for next year. But what was Andrew Pitt moaning about? The accident was his fault, clearly he was going in to hot through a non existent gap. He would not have made the corner even if Eugene had not been in the way to slow him down. And it was a pretty impressive save as well.

Thundercat I agree, and ofcourse the 250 and 600 are hard to compare as well,
the twostroke has less power and a different powerband, the bike is lighter and more nimble.
You can see the chassis of the heavier 600's moving around more in a race compared to the 250's,
it looks like the suspension is weaker but the mass of the bike is bigger, there's more to throw around
but somehow the transition to 600's from 250's seems to work well.

i agree, i think this is a very wise move for him! lets get ant west as his team mate and see how well that team goes!

just hope that yamaha let him continue for the last 2 races

morgue- i was thinking the same thing, however the 990's and the road 1000's were quite different from each other...


I wonder if the R6 had the right riders over the last years, seeing that West and Laverty seemed to adopt to it fairly easily...

Was it Dennis Noyes who used to mispronounce Goddards at Donington as Go-dards and Fogarty as Foe-garty

Our commentator made an interesting analogy with Anthony West switching to WSS and instantly winning races,
proving that it is quite a 'fluent' switch between the two types of machines, allthough the regulars in the World Champions on 250 twostrokes probably have it much tougher and come well prepared.
I will be curious to see what 'crossovers' there will be between WSS and the new 600 class that replaces 250's in 2011

Good move.

That old RSV was never going to get anywhere fast.

He results this weekend has proved what we all knew, he is super fast.

Good luck for the rest of the year, and for next year.

Great race,What a good finish.
It wasn't the best response from his garage to the crash, but when the guy sat down on the chair flicked the middle finger gave me the best laugh in ages

It was only a matter of time before he could have been seriously injured overiding a 10 year old bike trying to keep up with todays equipment. Best of luck to him.

Yeah! What is with Jack's "You-jzane"? Terry Rymer got it right.
Good to see he has got away from that crap 250 team and has finally proven
himself at World level. (albeit in one race, but it's a start)

Goan yersel wee man!
