WSBK » WSBK Monza: Rea: We didn’t get what we deserved


That geriatric Fireblade has consumed Jonny's best racing years. "Speed, reliabilty, handling - tomorrow" has been an un-fulfilled promise for far too many seasons. He would have been WSBK Champion well before now on any other factory bike (with the possible exception of Suzuki). And as each year passes, Jonny gets a year older, picks up more injuries and allows younger riders to challenge him. I sincerely hope that Ten Kate/Honda are paying him sufficiently for placing loyalty above his own ambitions.

MOTOGP » Official: MotoGP to BT Sport in new UK TV deal


I'm interested in Motorbike racing. I'm NOT interested in football or rugby or any of BTSports other offerings, but BT want to charge me for them all. I won't. I'm not enthused by a choice of camera angles or views or any of those interactive distractions- I just want a professional production team to mix and edit and bring me all the best bits. Have BT and Dorna forgotten what happened when Bernie Ecclestone offered pay-to-view F1 with all the tricks and options? It failed miserably and the huge sums invested were lost. I can't get BT broadband, so no solution there. In the UK's current financial crisis very few enthusiats will want or be able to spend more on their viewing. I can forsee lack of income from viewers and advertisers will soon compell BT to re-think the situation and maybe permit other broadcasters to transmit MotoGP. BUT- by then the other broadcasters commentary and production teams will have been spread to the four winds. BT equals Bunch of Toss'rs.

MOTOGP » Chassis evaluation for Lorenzo, Rossi


Maybe VR46 should try his M1 with the sweet handling 2010 frame as a comparison with the current frames which seem to have lost the braking and turn-in advantages which he exploited so well. If he is faster on 2010 frame it will show that chassis development has led in wrong direction. If 2010 frame is NOT faster he will have to learn how to exploit the advantages of the newer frames .

MOTOGP » MotoGP Jerez: Marquez, Lorenzo last turn clash - PICTURES


The telling aspect of this incident is not whether the move was right or wrong. It is that JLo lost his cool. His veneer of unflappabilty deserted him. MM93 rattled him both physically and mentally. From now on, JLo will be nervous whenever MM93 is close behind him. This will slow him down and he will make mistakes where previously he was imperious. MM93 now has the upper hand, nothing to lose and everything to gain.

MOTOGP » MotoGP Jerez: Top three for Crutchlow on day one


For an accurate assessment and opinion of Cal no-one is more qualified than JLo and VR46. These are the riders who know the specification of Cal's bike, and what it has and what it hasn't. They both rate him highly and often say so. And when VR46 talks of doing endurance racing, Cal is the one he names as his chosen partner. This speaks volumes about the high regard which Yam's factory riders have for Cal. Now let's consider NOT what Cal says, but the underlying message which he is sending out. What is he going to say when someone sticks a mike under his nose? Will he say his bike is the same as the riders who are beating him? Or will he say he could do much better if his machinery was up to par? He desperately wants a factory ride so the purpose of whatever he says is purely to enhance his opportunities. It’s the smart thing to do.

WSBK » Max Biaggi dismisses shock return rumours


He should resist all temptations to re-appear. He retired as top man in WSBK and there's nothing to gain by risking that status. OR, like veteran's Tennis and Rugby, maybe there should be a series for Seniors of say 40 years old and over. One make, identical bikes, drawn from a hat. It would be great to see Biaggi, Bayliss, Corser, maybe Gibernau, Barros and Haga, all back on track having a blast. Any suggestions for other candidates?

WSBK » WSBK Assen: Haslam confirmed with fractured leg


@Dare to Live “tetley, quite a hectic statement you make, but then most seem to agree with you, hope you are not saying this because you happen to be a fan of another brand.“ I’m not a fan (or a hater) of any brand in particular. I’m stating my opinion based on the age of the Fireblade design and the number of times the Ten Kate bike has ejected it’s riders in recent seasons. Trev - Unregistered “Looks to me like the same anti-Fireblade person is posting here again and again under different identities.” Most Registered users don’t feel the need for cloak-and-dagger postings. The ones with multiple identitties are invariably Unregistered posters who can use a different “handle” for each post. It is equally likely that there are pro-Fireblade posters using multiple identitties.
