WSBK » WSS: Rea shrugs off 'racing incident'.

Boo, i saw the interview with Pitt, he didn't come across well even if he does feel a bit hard done by at not getting a WSB ride despite taking the championship (he has a point on that front tbh). The comment's were not in jest from what i saw.

WSBK » WSS: Rea shrugs off 'racing incident'.

Also nice to hear given that Pitt was interviewed on Eurosport, still blaming Laverty for the previous races incident and even alluded to the fact that Rea and him were buddies and that Laverty probably owed Johnny a drink now. Pitt is also spitting feathers about not getting a WSB berth too. He's got a right attitude and i'm wondering if thats why teams are not looking at him? As for Rea, just the sort of comment you expect from this lad, i've never met him but some pals have and by accounts he's one of the nicest lads going. Good luck for next year, it's shaping up to be a doozie. Out of the new boys in WSB i expect him to be the leader on points as he knows the tracks..unlike Sykes et al

WSBK » OFFICIAL: Spies signs for Yamaha.

By all accounts the Suzuki is miles ahead of all the other bikes in AMA, god knows why as you would think it's a good market for all bike manufacturers and they want to compete but that is just how it is out there

F1 » $1 million incentive for fastest F1 Friday time?

I used to like seeing the overlap on WRC whereby they would have both bits of footage playing over each other of 2 cars going round the course. You could see where one car would be faster than another and it might well work in F1. This $1 million dollar business is obscene but if it went to charity that would be great. Let's not forget though that teams have to make their engines and gearboxes last now so why would they risk a 10 place drop due to an engine change just for a bit of kudos on a friday..whether they got to keep the money or give it away?

Tom, gotta agree with you on the Hodgson front. The two lads in AMA were miles ahead of everyone, you'll only know how good Spies is when you seem him racing in a competitive series. As for his Indy race, he did over 200 laps testing from what i remember whereas the other GP (full time) riders didn't get that luxury. Don't get me wrong am not bagging Spies in any way, i just want to see a few results before i make my mind up one way or the other.

Cemo you gonna give yourself heart failure mate. I think the Biaggi blinkers are rather amusing. One thing i think we can all agree on is that Smrz got him good at Monza.

Agreed Cemo, they must have thought about it long and hard and have decided to take a long term view for the team. Don't think we will see much of them in terms of fighting for the championship next year but they could be formidable the following season...time will tell and now all we need to hear is the confirmation of Nori to Ducati officially, even though we know for sure now that he is going to be on the Duke

F1 » Montezemolo: Singapore circus 'humiliating'.

My god those grapes are so sour i'd like to see a picture of his face whilst chewing on them :P

WSBK » Bayliss prepares for second title attempt.

Well i am hoping that Nori can repeat Vallelunga''s result as he did the double at Magny Cours last year and i was fortunate enough to have been there. I''m sure Bayliss will get the title in any case

WSBK » Byrne confirmed with Sterilgarda Ducati.

I miss Whitham on WSB, been a pain in the **** having him on BSB. Love the commentary and banter between him and Burnacle (even if the latter is getting a bit Murray-a-like in terms of the amount of mistakes he makes when on the mic) Good luck Shakey!
