oh the .......s

i was really looking forward to seeing him on a motogp bike

hope it wont be too long in the future before we see him out there on one
 
Thats a pity, but he's sure got a lot on his plate by the sound of it. Seems like Honda are 'grooming' him for bigger things. Maybe he'll get his first GP ride on something more competitive.

I;m actually glad because there wasn't gonna' be anythin spectacular, he was on the worst biike with no experience.
 
I don't see what the fuss is about either considering he was nearly certain to come in last place.

For me the real outrage was picking Rea over Kiyo in the first place, Kiyo is obviously the better rider.

Its funny how so many of us brits hate the "politics" of motogp and how its such an easy ride for the spaniards, but when an iferior rider gets given a chance because he is British and nobody seems to mind so much.

Unfortunately for Rea's fans and any fan of British riders or BSB, the Big H have invested a fair amount in Rea. They need to keep him healthy to mount a challenge for the BSB crown (or at least aid in Kiyo's defense) and he's also riding for HRC in the Suzuka 8 Hour.

Come on Roger, you know all this sort of stuff.
