MOTOGP » Indianapolis MotoGP test - Tuesday.

Jack. Everyone knows the risks they run when racing and as much as it hurts to see the line up of racers for the I.o.M and the NW200 everyone knows that at least one of them won't return. It's the riders choice to ride and if the risks of the circuits are too much for you to accept then you shouldn't ride them. Racing is for the spirit of the person on the machine. We just get to see the spectacle of what they're upto via Tv. It is an insult to the people who lost their lives chasing their own dreams when logic states the circuit is a killer and they went there to die for nothing. The risk was worth the entry fee to the fallen.

MOTOGP » Assen - Free practice times (1).

Traction control has been running since the days of John Hopper on the YZR500 as without the traction control, and he admitted this himself "I couldn't see the end of the race as I shot my tyres trying to keep up". So has traction made the racing better because some can see the end of race. Or because now it's a circulation thing with every lap being within a nano second of the last that is ruining the race and the races are very F1 with the lap times in the first couple of laps dictating who will finish where if you times margin of difference by the remaining laps left? Anyway, Casey fastest at first practise usually indicates a total domination of all who dare stand infront of him :rol

Everyone knows Casey and Danni should have done a "Podium spitroast" with one of the Cheeky girls. The one who isn't married to some rich Grandad. That would raise their Profile as Fun lovin' beer swillin' good ole boys.

CS, poor old Jimmy T falling at the first corner makes him a fighter just like our Frank(Bruno) and Eddie the Eagle. You see, with our English culture, you either a winner or a joke book loser. If you are in-between and rising you are loved as a battler and the press "big you up big style" but the way the press will destroy every ounce of perceived respect for you when you falling from grace is a national car crash of front page tabloid filth. It's in our culture controlled by the Government and press. If James isn't MotoGp Champ next year the stories of his "First cr@p shag" from Tracey aged 15(at time of poking!) will be all over the Sun/Sport/News of the World etc.

Sukhoi, why are you struggling with the fact that ALL the bikes have a complex traction/drive system? All of them do or you would have as much chance as a sorted Superstock bike on the same grid. As for the titles without traction control I believe the reference is to his grasstracking days. Admittedly a long time ago but if you have the "feel" it never leaves you. It's the body that lets you down as you get older, not the brain.

Jonny, do you think that the boys here at crash made up the likes of "Marty Cowan" and "Ace27" as a bid to stir the pot when the winter season was upon us and there was nothing to talk about? They picked "both" posters as Aussies as there were alot of "I love Valentino's" who would bite at every anti Valentino thing they spouted? Where are Ace+Marty now season has started?

Marlow, thats it! With your insight into all and the fact that some of us here LIKE conversing with similar "Billy no-mates on the net" like ourselves has made me realise it was the Ant,Dec 'n Marlow show all along.... I know a magician doesn't like to explain the trick, but how do you hide up Ant or Dec's b0ttom without falling out on stage? And who's A$$ do you pick.. Is it the bigger more accomadating one, or the sweeter smelling one? Only Joking with yers!!
