BSB » Brookes seeks 'clarity' on brake factor

Billy - what's the story with Honda and Rea? I can't think what you could be on about... Maybe i'm just having a senior moment though!

WSBK » New challenge for Rea at Miller

Well said Samas. Nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about, unlike some of the chumps on here. I'm fed up of seeing arguments about Ireland on here - surely there's plenty of children's geography revision sites that these idiots could look at? Anyway, I may be born and bred in England, i'm more proud of my Scottish heritage (old man and his family from Edinburgh and surroundings) but I'm always shouting at the TV for Jonny and Eugene over Cal and Leon. How can you not support such cracking lads, who let the riding do the talking and are down-to-earth when off the track? Let's see plenty more podiums for Jonny!

BSB » Suspended ban for Brookes

He should be banned until Guintoli returns - punishment fitting the crime and all that. Saying that, James Webb got nothing for torpedo-ing Dennis Hobbs last season at Thruxton and Dennis almost lost the use of his arm it was so serious...

BSB » Camier sets early Donington pace

Donington is an absolute disgrace. There's most of the infield (coppice and hangar straight) unaccessable, the marshalls are peeved because parts of the circuit are closed to them, so riders have to wait untilthe session has stopped if they've been unlucky enough to drop it at certain sides of the circuit. The trade sites are stuck behind Redgate like an afterthought and it generally looks like a cowboy's building site. Still, interesting watching practice today. Just watch Guintoli get quicker and the gap between him and Camier shrink by the time superpole starts. It's going to be even hotter tomorrow as well - bring it on! EDIT: Has Simon Gillett been disagreeing with my post? Heh heh.

WSBK » WSS: Sofuoglu frustrated by Lascorz move

When Crutchlow overtook him at Monza, he went backwards rapidly. It would seem that Sofu doesn't like having a fight on his hands. He won most of his races in '07 by time trial efforts, but falls apart at the hint of being overtaken. It's a shame, cause I had high hopes for him after winning the championship.

BSB » Harris: This is my year.

I think Easton will finish higher than Harris this season. Bomber will drop it too much as usual and Guintoli and Camier will be at it like cat and dog for the overall title. Sorry Karl, but you had your chance at HM Plant (when your team mate won the title on the same machinery.)

BSB » Rutter leaves Rob Mac Racing

Rutter's body language when being interviewed during the North West was an equal mix of pi55ed off/utterly disheartened. He's usually well chirpy and has a glint in his eye, but it just wasn't there. Seems that the R1 is a bit of a dog if you don't drop on with the settings... Anyone got one of Corser or Haga's old bikes knocking around for Blade to have a run on? Even Simon Andrews' old bike would be better for him.

MOTOGP » Points mean prizes at Le Mans

What a mature ride during a hellishly difficult race for all involved (apart from Simon, it would seem.) That was valuable points gained over Iannone and great damage limitation over your teammates, although I doubt Gadea will be consistent enough to go for overall title. Hope I bump into you at Donington so I can congratulate a British GP winner and fellow ginger!

WSBK » PICTURES: WSBK Kyalami, South Africa

Again, why no option to search image tags in the galleries Crash? I want to find specific riders or moments, not scour through page after page of slowly loading thumbnails. Sort it out please! P.S. Keep it up (so to speak) with those Bellisimo ads that keep appearing on the right-shand side...

WSBK » Sykes frustrated by power struggle

Grinner is doing an awesome job so far this season. Especially when he's up there with Biaggi, Haga, Bog Brush and his team-mate, Spies. The other Brit rookies ahead of him (by a handful of points) have either ridden the WSBK championship before (Monobrow) or rode all the circuits (apart from Kyalami) last season in WSS. Leon, Jonathan and Tom are all doing us Brits proud, as are Cal and Norge, yet people on here still insist on knocking them... I just don't get it. It's not like any of them are talking the talk, then walking the walk like Forrest Gump in his leg braces like Toseland is. Then you've got some reason to give them some constructive (yeah right) criticism.
