WSBK » Toseland: I cannot wait to get out there


No flossy I have no interest in football at all so the attempt at a cheap shot is off the mark. I am British and very happy about it, I just fail to see the reason why we should shout for someone just because they are British. I like to see home grown talent doing well and getting support when they deserve it but no more than any one else. It is also quite acceptable to criticise them too, or it should be but when you do so flag waving jingoistic type jumos all over you. JT was a good rider in his time, I don't think his time will come again but if it does then great. I thought what he did to Colin Edwards in Moto GP was poor show and for that reason I have lost a lot of respect for him. Fogarty was a mouthy git and that is why I never cared for him. Good rider for sure but there is more to it than that. Leon Haslam, all round good guy, good rider and I shout for him for those reasons as well as the home connection. Don't much care for Cal Crutchlow, like Bradley Smith, James Ellison,

MOTOGP » Abraham drops back after suspension failure


Glad to see others posting positive things about Abaja on here, especially after all the grief he got when his participation was announced. He is a top bloke to boot with being a good rider. The bit that gets me me most is that people bang on about his Dad's firm sponsoring him and that he is only there because of Dad's support. First of all I bet that there are precious few riders who race at a serious level where their family did not make huge sacrifices to enable them to get there. In other words they all did it off Daddies money. Secondly if it was just a case of buying a ride then anyone who believes that is just a fool. Ducati agreed to let them have their bike after he went there and test rode it. He had to prove his ability and worthiness. His telemetry was one of the closest to Stoners that they have seen, so I believe. Thirdly no matter how the bike gets to you, you still have to ride the damn thing and Abaja is doing that brilliantly. He is the youngest rider on the grid an

MOTOGP » Accident blow for Crutchlow


Yet another example of how good Karel Abraham is doing. Here's a guy who stays on the bike, gets points and is getting the data for next year. That is a good point by Herve. Funny how people slagged off Abaja when it was announced that he would be in Moto GP but all the Brits thought it was great that Cal got the ride. I am not sure why he deserved it but there you go. Anyway, no matter what happens now Abraham has shown his class and worth and is doing a far better job in his rookie year on a much harder bike to ride than Crutchlow. I hope Cal can turn his season around but based on what has happened already then Abraham should be rookie of the year already.

MOTOGP » Nicky Hayden keen to sample GP11.1


Incredible really, there is a statement that he is a class human being and yet people see that as a negative! For armchair pundits to say that he is no good is laughable, team owners and managers don't give bikes to people just because they are good guys. They also don't keep hime there just because he does not slag anyone off. Actually he does, he criticises Nicky Hayden quite often. I have no doubt that he has all the attitude he needs on the bike, he is a proven winner and like it or not he has that world title. He did the business all his life in the USA and has proven his worth to the people that count on the world stage. The fact that he has held that title and did so with class and decorum, in spite of Pedrosa's best efforts, make him a more rounded champion than some others that could be mentioned.

MOTOGP » Nicky Hayden keen to sample GP11.1


No matter what he does he remains one of the classiest guys ever in the Moto GP paddock. Never a moaner, a whiner or one to deflect blame publicly in any other individual or organisations direction. The likes of Messr's Stoner, Pedrosa, Lorenzo and others should take note. A top rider and a top human being - best of luck to Nicky.
