MOTOGP » Rossi: I've made my mistake.

nice to hear from guys who know what there talking about. if you guys say its normal for oz, and you live there, then that's ok with me. one thing i do envy is oz, nz and other countries is the out door lifestyle and the space so the kids can do all these kinds of activities. in the uk we don't have the space and it costs for the kids to do any kind of sporting activities which really makes me angry. we should be promoting and helping our kids to take part in sport and the government here don't invest enough.

ace... do you think that CS, SG and NC all have similar riding styles? i ask because you say they are all feeding back similar data to the team but the team doesn't seem to be able to use that data to assist the other Duc riders. it would seem logical that if they continue down their current development path they will end up with a machine that can only be ridden fast by a rider with a certain riding style, i.e. the same as CS. and that's fine as long as you can find another 3 riders who have the same style as CS! don't you think they need change direction slightly and make the bike more neutral?

mr squiggle... don't go down the intellect route mate... you'll lose!!! you obviously don't read very well because i have not dismissed CS talent at all but obviously because you want to chomp on his nuts he's beyond any critique at all. it's obvious he loves racing but we are discussing his participation in the sport as a CHILD not now! children love to do various things but as an adult sometimes you have to curtail their enthusiasm for the benefit of the child. i guess your not a parent or you wouldn't come out with such asinine comments. Now back to the point... do you really think is good for a child to be competing in 35 races over a two day period??? to me that would seem excessive?

ok now i'm pissed. Valkiria don't excuse FA by saying it's spanish culture or the spanish way. when he's not doing well he blames the team and says they're all against him. when the racists came out at Barca practice and he had the opportunity to condemn them he said nothing. there's always some excuse, its never his fault... how old is this guy 8 years old?? he's a f&*king adult... take some f&cking responsibility and stop blaming others and when you see something going on that's wrong condemn it. there are loads of spanish sports men and women in other sports that don't act in this way so don't excuse his behavior by saying it's because he's spanish.

i believe you guys when you say the information is on CS website but i would of thought that for a child to compete in 35 races over a two day period is tantamount to some kind of child abuse isn't it?? all seems a bit excessive don't you think?

F1 » F1 'won't come back' to Silverstone.

why is everyone employing tilke to design their circuits. doesn't it stand to reason that if you have the same designer all the circuits will be the same or at least similar??? its gonna get to the stage where all the races look the same in which case they may as well hold all the GP's on ovals like they do in the states.... God forbid!

nothing against sete but why would any team with ambition want to employ a 35 year old???

my mistake i didn't know they finished on equal points Brendan. There is no proof that the TEAM were not backing FA. We KNOW he and RD fell out and that's all we KNOW. You can't tell me that all his mechanics and his crew chief were conspiring against him. professional pride alone would make them do their best for FA because his results reflect on them. i can see them caring less about him when he didn't support them during the spy scandal. i have no illusions about RD character... he's no angel that's for sure.

there's nothing wrong with stating an opinion, else there would be no forums... but you try to pass yours off as facts when they aren't. that's the issue. i didn't comment on 2006 because it has no relevance on this discussion. LH and FA were not team mates in 2006.
