Cal: down the duke drain.

It hardly augers well that while still riding an M1 he finished seventh in his last race due to a lack of feel.

Lil Red is convinced they detuned his bike resulting in a poor performance. He yelled this at Laguna several times. Oddly enough, Dovi seemed to have the same poor turnaround once it was clear he'd be leaving the team for Ducati. Coincidence?

Dude, come on man.  Remove the foil and focus.  Tech3 will give Cal their best effort until his last race.  I have no doubt about that.  In fact, these next few races will be the best we see from Cal for quite some time.  


 


There's a guy riding in Moto2 right now (pick one) who can't wear Cal's jock strap who's going to be routinely kicking his ... for the next two years.

You took the words right out of my mouth.


Tech .... knew they had lost him and the powers that be wouldn't be letting a satelite rider beat the factory boys again!


Cal showed he had the race pace in practice but suddenly come race day no grunt.


.... it all!!!

Lil Red yells all kinds of things at the races.  The absolute majority of which I can't understand a word of.   :yahoo:

The next few races will show if you are correct, you may have a good point.

So, how much did Cal get per year? 2-2 1/2 million .


 


No way is Cal worth that much. I have seen him ride. Maybe 150K per is pushing it.


 


50K more if he keeps his mouth shut.


 


No Cal moans - it's my pay scale

It will show at shiverstone.


Remember last year riding with a broken ankle, from the back. 


6th.


Lets see if he gets anywhere near that this year.


.... I'm half expecting bradders getting a sudden burst of speed and beat him!


Just like last season when Cal suddenly became better than Dovi.


I'm not buying it ;)

Ignorance is bliss eh?


In this case you could just be right :lol:

Yeah right. Cal was spot on about the Pol deal. Jarvis will announce the new Tech 3 rider one nanosecond after Ducati make their official announcement. I would bet an ice cold beer that Pol's salary will be a lot sweeter than the crumbs that Tech 3 offered Cal to stay. Good on Cal for jumping ship on that back stabbing bunch.


 


Didn't have my stopwatch ready but was close on the nano thing.
 
Redding's mysterious uncompetitive streak coupled with Pol.E's sudden improvements... explaintion now confirmed.
 
Why on Earth do we watch and put up with this ........ and then some of us are Daft Enough to pay ££,$$,€€. to watch this Farce


I've seen the light a while ago i'll be ...... if im bailing Spain out got enough .... going on here


move on ppl its better and cheaper on the otherside...
 
Have you seen all the wrinkles on Cals face. Hes old. At least 38. I think he's lying about his age and went to Ducati so so he could get a big paycheck and retire

No matter his reason for moving to Ducati for all practical purposes his career has ended with that contract.


 


(good eye on the age thing too)
 
seen this elsewhere worth posting imo

Its gonna get worse. I can see a scenario where the only 4 win worthy bikes are all ridden by Spanish ...... Pol to replace VR. Not to mention Mavdick Viina to replace Pedro. Then we can have all the experts claim how they are the best riders because they get the wins. I dont for a split second believe this ......... Funny cuz i got into an argument with a buddy at the track over this recently. His was the lame typical retort, they why do u watch. Its a simple answer, but beyond that if anybody thinks the results are authentic, theyre idiots. The lessons of 2011-12 continue to be ignored (and 2013 is forcefeeding us more lessons about parity). Its gonna take Dorna to demand Bridgestone to make a performance enhancing tire for Ducati like they did for CRTs. The masses are easily fooled.
