And a better PR person.

After thinking about this for another few minutes...of course it was biaggi who replied. you're probably his only fan mail in months!

lol...marbles are you going to sit back and take that?:lol:just kidding


I just finished reading an article on motogp.com and Biaggi states that he doesn't know what's wrong. The bike doesn't work...here I'll steal a bit of the article.

http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/news_info/...1.htm?menu=home

"So far the season has been quite bad, difficult start and without any explanation or answer. I had a good race in Mugello, where the bike worked almost perfectly well. The rest was disappointing. I'm very demanding with myself and with everything that surrounds me, but something must be happening if we're always having trouble, both during practice and the race. As a rule, I've been on the second and third row during practices but I've even been 16th. I haven't probably forgotten how to ride a bike, have I? I can only say that the bike doesn't work, what I don't know is how the others work.�

“If there's no improvement in the next races, there will be nothing left to do. But I'm sure that our results are going to get better, with no doubt we're going to do everything we can and fight hard to make it.�

Last season I think Toby or Julian (eurosport) said that Max is uncomfortable with sliding the rear wheel which could hamper him with slower entry and exit speed in corners and generally make him a little tentative with his throttle hand....only a small part of his problem ,I know,but it must put him at a disadvantage with the top sliders,Rossi,Gibers,Colin etc

I suppose whatever people think about the pirate, he's a solid rider...........and scores points (currently 5th, with 2,3,4,5 all within 5 points of each other!).

Its a shame he has a reputation for being a bad guy to teh fans off the bike.............I guess he likes moaning . Its funny, he's always scoring points yet he aint had many podiums this year...........I guess he's consistent.

Where can I get a copy of the'Faster' vid please?

Ive always thought that maybe it was his "250" style that hampered him a bit, maybe that would explain why his style works at certain circuits and not at others? i dont know. Maybe hes going as fast as he did last year except its the other riders that have gone faster, thus making him seem slower.

Also in a BBC interview he did with Suzi Perry, he said something like 'its a great feeling knowing that nobody is faster than these 3 guys', meaning himself, Gibernau and Rossi. Maybe thats his problem, he thought he was better than everyone apart from Rossi and Gibernau, then along came Hayden, Edwards and Melandri at the beginning of the year, found incredible speed and maybe max doubted himself against these guys?

For me its confusing though, he seemed to be nowhere all year then at Mugello, BANG hes right up the sharp end. I dont get it(HIM)

With Biaggi being very uncomfortable sliding the bike I have to wonder if HRC have gone a bit in the Hayden direction in development. It would certainly explain Biaggi being so uncomfortable and would make sense as Hayden was generally trading the fastest times in testing with Gibernau so perhaps that has some to do with it. As far as his Mugello brilliance and lackthereof since, I can't contribute it to anything other than Max being uncomfortable and when Max is uncomfortable he is no more special than any other rider on the grid.

So I guess we know where you will be on October 14/16.

ahhhh woman they get it all

I'm gonna slide back under my rock
<div align="right<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sure your not a sheep shagger!!

Are you going to the GP at the island??

The truth is that i along with another 100 girls I have been put forward to be a Umbrella girl (brolley dollie) at the GP, they only pick 25 but you got to be in it to win it!!! and the other thing is Max has passed my photos on to the team for me for the same reason, hence the email from him! So hopefully i get through but i'm still going there anyway even if this doesn't happen.

Guys there is also the official faster movie site i think its www.fastermovie.com! if you guys want i can get you a copy for about $30 Aus dollars and send it over, it might be a cheaper option, cause of the dollor exchange

try ebay for faster for cheaper.
