I like what Ooost said about this: "Foggy never went to GP because he was .... scared of Doohan"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>McWilliams won a 250 race.. he got a few top 5's in GP.
But like you said, he`s over 40 now. Besides, isn`t he Irish? You can`t really claim him as in that case.... Then again, it never stopped the poms before, did it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Actually Cardoso has been around a long time (not really deserving that honour), I remeber him on the D'Antin Yamaha YZF 500cc.
Ellison has been MUCH slower than Checa in EVERY race so far, so basically unless Dorna backs him to have a Brit in MotoGP no decent team is going to pick him. I don't have anything against the guy, it's just plain numbers, MotoGP is a cruel world.
Yeah, true. But I got a feeling Dorna will do a lot to keep a brit in the series. Its a big fan base for them there. I really think Bratain is in a GP rider drought at the moment. I mean, the last pom to win a 500 has passed away it`s been that long. Hopefully a few hot rookies will come up soon.
