MOTOGP » Stoner: Motivation difficult for Pedrosa


I fully sympathise with Pedrosa's situation. If however he is having trouble with motivation to get back out and do what millions of people around the world can only dream about having the chance of trying once, then it is time he gave the whole game up. I am no great fan of Dani's, though at the same time I wish him no ill. In this instance however I hope Stoner is talking absolute rubbish as I would hate to think that their are highly paid Moto GP riders who have lost site of what it actually is that they get to do with their lives.

MOTOGP » Six new MotoGP 2012 entries announced


I honestly think that this has to be about the most cynical place on the net. All those moaning are just incredible. I bet they are the ones who complained about small grids and gave the excellent Karel Abraham a good kicking before he too had turned a wheel. As for the comments about what we need is top teams etc. Are you guys on the wackky baccy or something? Suzuki has reduced its factory effort, Kawasaki has walked away, Kenny Roberts has gone all within the last few years. Do you think that the factories and more top riders are going to appear, along with a white rabbit from a special hat? I have no idea how it will work out but I welcome more bikes on the grid and quite frankly if there are more guys fighting for tenth place, providing good racing for that place, then what is the problem? Only in some kind of parallel universe are you going to find a magical supply of people over a close season who can all be fighting for podium places, week in, week out.

MOTOGP » 2011 MotoGP World Championship standings


Karel Abraham tenth in the standings and Cardion AB racing sixth in the constructor. So where the hell are all of those of you who were taking a pop at the kid before the season started? Don't start whining about its because others have fallen off or what ever. To finish first, first you have to finish. Even if he were not to score another point all season he would still have shown everyone that he deserves to be there and is more than worthy of his place. Go Abaja !!!

MOTOGP » Paris Hilton to attend Catalunya GP


In this instance perhaps I am like a dog with a bone - dude! Then again why not? Ignorant cynicism is worth challenging. It is unfortunately quite prevalent in Britain and as our American friend has pointed out the exposure that Paris Hilton is garnering for the series, over there, is huge and you can bet that then goes global. So there you go, news worthy. Is it any less worth while some glamour girl with loads of dosh getting exposure and sinking money in or a tobacco company doing the same, or a Bank, or a company who make generators or ? You can equally argue that none of them are any more relevant to motor sport. Just a pity that a bit of an interesting debate could not be entered into.

MOTOGP » Paris Hilton to attend Catalunya GP


Fair enough - you can't justify the comment about being an unwelcome distraction. She is not sponsoring TT or BSB so that is irrelevant but you go and ask any of the teams in those two series if they would welcome her money if they could get it and I bet there are precious few who would not. It is obviously of some interest to you, as you read the bloody article and went to the bother of making a comment in the first place and then responding. Pity I was hoping for some kind of reasoned insight but none to be had.

MOTOGP » Paris Hilton to attend Catalunya GP


It was not an insult - you obviously feel qualified to state what is newsworthy in media outlets, why so tetchy or was it another unsubstantiated comment? Don't believe anyone has stated that any other sponsor is not newsworthy? Would still like to hear the reasoning behind why this sponsor is an unwelcome distraction. I am open to persuasion if you can make a convincing reason why.

MOTOGP » Paris Hilton to attend Catalunya GP


@acidraine - very well put. As much as I can't stand the celebrity culture I also say credit where it is due but some people are just unwilling to give someone they don't like a chance. Paris Hilton could fund a hospital for sick kids and still the cynics would find a negative out of it. I guess it just shows what kind of personality they have. As for the *****ic comment about the gay thing - well if ever there was an argument for making intelligence tests to allow people to air their views public, then that is it.

MOTOGP » Paris Hilton to attend Catalunya GP


Skidmarks - you are totally missing the point, unsurprisingly. In this stupid world of celebrity, wherever she goes, cameras go and more exposure is shown around the world and then other sponsors see the potential. Motogp is a business and if you can't grasp the financial aspects of that then fine but in that case why comment? Besides which you have not yet given a single reason why she should not sponsor a motorcycle team. There was no furore where Seedorf put his name and money to a team and he is just a football player - hardly life saving occupation either. Look at this way, in a climate where the current world champions team in Moto GP can not attract a main line sponsor, then we as followers should welcome any and all support that is put into the sport. As I said in my first response - yours was the first of the expected cynical barbs that you can not back up with any reasoned argument as to why her involvement is a bad thing.
