BSB » Rutter secures last minute SMT deal

Rutter has turned into the proverbial journeyman...the rider who'll jump in at a moments notice. Personally, I'm happy that he's there. I always root for the older farts as since I'm getting up there myself it's nice to see them still out there. He never was the best but how many can be counted as the best?? Either way, I hope he does well.

WSBK » Byrne eager to maintain ascension

It's gotta be distressing for this cat being a former domestic champ and having those two wildcard victories but not being able to be consistent this year. Hope he can consistently pull better front finishes from now on as that's where he should be...not riding midpack.

WSBK » Sykes: I’m closing gap on the front now

@ Fish n Chips...we think alike. It's nice to see another racing fan who isn't blinded by his nationalism and screams and whines about how Laverty and Cruchlow should get a Motogp seat and if they don't that it's because of their passport. And for the record I can't stand my arrogant countrymen who rant Ben this and Ben that and put down other countries riders but it's equally annoying when Brits do it. Disagree away!!!

WSBK » Sykes: I’m closing gap on the front now

@ jack...you're just foolish. Who gives a damn about what Cruchlow's doing in WSS. Winning or dominating WSS means bulls**t when moved up to the sbk class. Since you think that it does, please name us all the fantastic graduates from WSS who have dominated and won WSBK titles just like they did when they rode in WSS. I'll be waiting jack... And yes I am a kraut who grew up and lives in the states. I do ride a '94 916 Strada and I do watch WSBK and BSB. However, I don't waste my time with that mess called the AMA.

WSBK » Sykes: I’m closing gap on the front now

@ VRob, Cruchlow IS an unknown quantity on the WSBK stage. So he finished ahead of Sykes in BSB...so what? Sykes is in WSBK NOW and is currently sitting in 7th. Would you as a team boss get rid of your rookie who's in 7th to put in someone who hasn't done sqat in WSBK? Team boss's have no faith in WSS riders as is evidenced by their lack of performance when moved up to the sbk class. And please don't look foolish anymore by talking about where they finish in BSB as Kiyo and Byrne are both 2 time BSB champs and they're doing what???

F1 » Toro Rosso admits Vettel loss is hurting them

continued from above--- If Tost was honest, the interview would have gone like this: "Both of our back marker drivers have done well considering the P.O.S. car we've given them. However, I don't like Seb as his accent annoys me so I fired him. This time I was smart and didn't assault him like I did with another driver. I don't know why we've done so poorly as it has nothing to do with me. But I can tell you this...next year we'll be wasting fuel, rubber and everyone's time just like this year and since it's become an STR tradition, I'm going to fire a driver before the Hungarian GP!!! BTW, did I say that the teams poor performance has nothing to do with me??"

F1 » Toro Rosso admits Vettel loss is hurting them

There is nothing more pathetic than listening to a team principle blaming everyone and everything for HIS pathetic performance as the team boss. For a back marker team he sure knows how to stir up drama in regards to his drivers...Scott Speed and now Seb. Same nonsense with both of them...sacked before the Hungarian GP. I'm waiting for the day when one of their drivers, before the Hungarian GP, holds a press conference and fires Tost and the team and says that the team and principle haven't lived up to his expectations. That would be beautiful.

WSBK » Sykes: I’m closing gap on the front now

Cruchlow to take his seat!?!? No way. Unknown quantity WSS rider...and Camier? Who's he really racing against? BSB is a depleted field and Camier's BSB title will be the same as Hodgson's 2003 WSBK title...the best of the rest winning it because everyone else of worth has moved on to other series. Sykes should be given one more year to see if he can hack it. It's his rookie year and he's teamed with a rider that is head and shoulders above every other rider on the grid. He's 7th now which is a damn good showing for a rookie considering the depth of the grid but he may finish better as there's still 4 more tracks to go to. And no, I'm not a Sykes fan or British.
