So polarised, so inaccurate.
(Am I the only one thinking the postings always dip during school holidays)?
Look. You might or might not like who they are or what they say but get real.
Rossi is a gifted rider.
Stoner is a gifted rider.
They're both slightly in each other's heads. But nether of them are particularly susceptible to having mind games pulled on them.
They're both on immensely fast well matched machines with different strengths and weaknesses.
This is a good thing. It *might* mean we're going to see Moto GP escape from becoming the F1 procession which would ruin it for ever. I won't bet on that quite yet, but I'll hope its so.

Spies ready to fight for title lead.
Better braking's nice to have but not critical. He's perfectly capable of winning without that upgrade. What *is* critical is machine reliability. That could cost him a race. So long as the bike runs well and reliably I'd not bet against him. Fabrizio has come good and is still improving, but he's a way from being as good yet. (Now watch the bog-brush prove me wrong).

Muggeridge tests HM Plant Honda
I don't think Lavilla will be interested either. Unless Guandalini gave the best bike to Smrz & gave Greg a dog, he's better off where he is too.

Cooper makes history at Mallory

'Mr Cooper I have a Mr Beltran on line one'. 'Don't put him through until he confirms they'll fit brakes'.

Kiyonari: The problem is the rider!
1 agrees.
Kiyo is a bit of a flawed genius. He can be phenomenally fast. How he holds it all together at the speeds he does sometimes in the wet is just astonishing. Then he gets plagued with self-doubt and he looses his edge... which dents his self-image a bit more ... and that seems to go on as a bit of a vicious circle for a while. Its disproportionate and its tragic. He's actually an immense talent, but he seems to find that hard to believe even when its dead obvious to everyone watching him. I swear his biggest problem is every so often the only reason he's not winning is because he *believes* he's not going to win.

Biaggi Superpole best on Aprilia debut!
Thanks folk I'm not very techy but I'll dig around see if there are any updates missing or whatever. At least I know now that the problem's probably somewhere at my end. With a half decent PC & BT Broadband (which was showing OK for speed on a test straight after) I'm a bit baffled but......

Byrne unfazed by gap to leaders
Very credible but slightly worrying & disappointing for the bloke. I hope having to sit out the earlier test isn't going to cost him too heavily. He's clearly capable but fighting uphill right now.

Byrne: I am the underdog
6 agree.
If he *chose* to sit out testing he chose to be underdog. Only I don't think chose is what he did. I reckon they're near skint and sitting out was the only way to have the resources for the race weekend. Big pity. Great bike, great rider, decent team, handicapped by funding. If anyone ever wanted to maximise their sponsorship impact this has to be a golden opportunity for 'em.

Melandri will race Kawasaki in MotoGP
2 agree.
I bet 'constructive' wasn't what Hopper called it. Must mean Kwak & Dorna don't see him as a 'relevant party' too? I feel sorry for him short term but he could have been in a worse position. He might have got the ride instead of Marco. And then he'd catch the blame again 'cos that bike is NOT going to do well. I just hope Marco doesn't break himself up trying to get silk purse performance out of a pig's ear bike. I doesn't bode well for the extra focus & support Birdie needed from Kwak for WSB either, it'll be a deflection.

Harris targets race wins with Hydrex
I think the single most significant thing Karl has going for him is that Sean Muir, having had him as a rider previously, believes in his talent enough to give him this chance. If he's going to succeed he *has* to be more paced, less intemperate. It seems like the lad has such an enormous drive to win he attempts things on will alone which no bike is ever going to be able to deliver. And he comes unstuck. If Karl can adapt his mindset to maximise points haul Muir's gamble might pay off big-time. IF.
