KRJR's Quiet MotoGP Departure

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The California Kid @ Jun 24 2009, 08:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>KRJR Walked away at the right time, He realized i wasn't working out for him. Things were changing at rapid pace and not for his benefit. He was smart to leave. The new bikes dont really work for the old schoolguys, look at sete he is just wasting his time and health by being out there. Barros is another one who knew the 800's wouldnt work for him.
lucky he was working for his dad at the time. i doubt he had to buy his way out

I do wish that the bikes would go back to larger engines and become slightly larger and heavier because this would make them more like motorcycles (ie. the things we see on the street and in the shop) as well as make them more accessable to talented riders who, because of their country or finances move up through local or world superbikes. This would also make the bikes less sensitive to the riders size.

However, I don't have a problem with people's size or weight having an effect on their sport (within reason). Isn't that like saying they should shorten the slides on rowing boats to stop tall people having an avantage over shorter ones? Everyone has gifts, advantages and dissadvantages when playing sport.
