WSBK » UPDATE: Rea, Fabrizio end test on top

I never knew that about the tax form. I thought it was just cos it sounded sequential, like the start of a countdown. Then again P45 might sound like a high performance aircraft on the unfashionable side of the pond but probably wouldn't be a marketing triumph in the Yuck. Oh, back to the question: Fabrizio usually seems to do well at Phillip Island when he isn't getting squidged in dodgy starts. He's actually rather good but was cursed with being erratic/inconsistent over the last two seasons at least.

Indeed, it would be most unseemly for anyone to be raiding anyone else's hats. (Beats me what these ex-colonials going on about half the time mind). Our transatlantic friend does however have a point. Mladin & Spies *are* class acts. Ask Mr Hodgson. Tom Sykes is good. He may even be that good. He has not as yet accrued the 'pedigree' of championship wins to *prove* he's that good. I will be very pleased if he does.

Well, that makes it look even more wide open than the wide open way it was already looking before, dunnit?

MOTOGP » Bridgestone: No 'white line' on MotoGP tyres.

Well, as I've never felt deprived not having an obvious visual cue on the tyre to tell me what it is, frankly, I don't give much of a monkey's. If F1 want to paint their buttocks red and stick flags in their ears too good luck to 'em with that as well. Its boring, I never watch it so I don't care what they do in F1 ..... Well, other than ruck up the tack surface where the bike will be going. Now *that* does annoy me.

Cast your mind back to when he came into BSB and he was doing well on kit others couldn't get owt out of before he was picked up by GSE

WSBK » Biaggi on top at Phillip Island.

I understand the sentiment of Michael F says ... but I *know* Syksey will be pretty fast the same way as I know which of the others are. (What I didn't expect was Broc Parkes - excellent rider though he is -to make such a good fist of that ZX10 .... Astonishing).

MOTOGP » Edwards on Toseland: We don't talk anymore

I understand Colin's feeling about the way his crew chief was taken .... he was pretty pyst off and said so at the time. If he'd been helping JT as rumoured, that had to feel like a stab in the back. JT's stance was an unremorseful 'Well, its all competitive'. Problem is, because JT took the hammering he did at Sepang, by flakking him now and crowing about how much he outperformed JT Colin makes himself look petty and mean spirited in a way that he wouldn't if JT hadn't crashed & doggedly stayed at it. If he can't hold it in Colin'd be smarter to wait 'til he can say it after a race. But he'd be smarter still now he's made the point to leave it - Folk won't forget.
