RR » Cameron Donald leaves Honda Legends team


Mixed messages there ? Cam wants to spend more time in Oz so gives up 4 TT Legends rides, but keeps 2 with Wilson Craig?Could it be because he wasn't in the TTL team for IoM TT and NW200 ? Cam has never appeared sulky so it is a strange situation. I wish him success in whatever he does and I hope he continues to feature in UK racing. Meanwhile, McPint, The Rutter, and Mickey D make a formidable team for the TT Legends.

MOTOGP » Water, electric complicate Rossi’s Sepang return


"today rossi rode 2012 yam and was 0.3 faster than cal. how do you explain that one ?? posted by marco polo" Let's first remember the 2012 Factory Yamaha was a more developed bike than the 2012 Tech 3 Yam. Cal is saying that they have nothing new to test, so the real surprise is that Rossi is not further ahead of Cal. Having said that, Cal is fast and brave and will get faster. As for VR46, he is an expert tactician and I don't think he will show his full potential until the first race weekend. Only then will we really see how fast he can pedal that M1.

MOTOGP » Ben Spies hoping for 'stronger' Sepang II


“Lets hope that the new riders can help Ducati get back to where they were before Rossi joined. Posted by Greg45 “ Err, “where they were before Rossi joined” was in the chit with an uncompetitive, unco-operative bike. “If it doesn’t work out Ben must return to WSBK where he will no doubt win races again. Posted by Tomcol” If it doesn’t work out Ben will be even more glum than at the end of 2012 and in that frame of mind would be ill-prepared for WSB. His best bet would be to go back to AMA, and not necessarily as a rider. I don’t wish bad luck upon him, I just don’t see him being a MotoGP front-runner.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi: I hadn't forgotten how to ride


“Tetley, you're overlooking Lorenzo's sheer consistency. Rossi for sure has the ability to do everything you said, but will have to bring it every single race and be pretty much error free to finish higher in the standings than Lorenzo. posted by Tommy”. Actually, I’m not overlooking JLo. He is certainly consistent when lapping on his own, but we rarely see him elbow-to-elbow with a rival. When VR46 gets on his tail JLo will slow and his consistency will be interrupted. Also, with the calibre of rider in the top four they will all have to be error-free, or they will be also-rans. @TedG. I have vivid memories of Biaggi leading, with Rossi nibbling at his backside, and Biaggi going off/falling off because he couldn’t withstand the pressure of not knowing which side or when VR would make his overtake. I’m sure you remember those races, too.

MOTOGP » Valentino Rossi: I hadn't forgotten how to ride


Lets look at the strengths of the top two Honda and Yamaha riders. Lorenzo - fast and consistent. Pedrosa - Very fast, but only sometimes. Marquez - Youth and speed, but impetuous. Rossi - fast, persistent, crafty. They are all capable of lapping within tenths of each other in qually, BUT...In a race Rossi is capable of making the rider in front of him go slower. The rider in front has to take defensive lines because Rossi will pester him. Rossi will pounce on the slightest opportunity to pass, and is skilled in creating those opportunities. And once he is past them, , VR is a very hard rider to re-take. JLo and Dani may not have the racecraft to hold VR back.
