<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (yamaka46 @ Apr 11 2008, 02:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Racers being "mindful of the big picture" I'd agree with. That they race for points as an end game for each race I don't agree with.
Out of interest, does anyone else subscribe to Tom's "they race for points not for wins" argument?
I think some do, particularly riders not called valentino rossi with a chance of winning the world championship. I think rossi in particular does not, even when the championship is in prospect, let alone when it isn't like the end of last year. I think this has been part of his greatness. I think michael schumacher was similar, although you may disagree
