Julian Ryder's thoughts, this will cop a lot of flak no doubt.
Soup :: Ryder Notes: Different Ways of Doing It :: 05-20-2016
Not a Ryder fan and never have been ........... that is not going to change as he again has that little dig that he seems to so regularly at Lorenzo purely because for Ryder, smiles and laughter (real or fake) are more to his liking that the serious or brooding of others.
IMO only, but the obvious dislike in the comment renders the rest of the article as clap trap and poorly written
The Simoncelli line, whilst likely correct is a disgraceful attempt at correlating Lorenzo as a lesser person because of his comments.
You cannot instruct a fan on how to be a fan, it's a personal choice. A Marquez fan may cheer if Rossi crashes out. That doesn't necessarily mean he wishes Rossi harm, but Rossi not picking up any points during a race helps Marquez get closer to winning the championship. People cheer when an opposing team/rider fails to score.
True.
But you can encourage fans in certain behavioural traits should you so wish
This was done after Phillip Island and was a generous move, sadly the lesson was not learnt and it should not have come to what it has today
Leadership in a few areas has been lacking
IMO, there's not a huge difference between shooting the .... on the internet and booing @ track side. Both can be done with light-hearted intentions, yet interpreted by someone else as something more sinister.
Although we view the racing as entertainment, I don't think the riders are motivated by entertainment for fans. They LOVE racing motorcycles and getting to ride the fastest motorcycles around the best tracks. It's just that fan support is critical for the sport to succeed.
And yet for years we have heard differently about and from one of the riders themselves
We either hear from the fans that 'man, isnt it good he is out there taking it easy to improve the show for us' or from the rider 'we put on a great show for the fans today'.
IMO only, but the majority of riders are there purely for themselves but some (and it is not just one) require the adulation in their lives as they have lived in a somewhat sheltered world where they have been the centre of the universe, and as such, they need the adulation on a daily basis.
You cant win every year.
Ask stoner, he lost a lot more championships than he won.
He only won once on the Ducati and that was a transition year where Honda and Yamaha we're on their heels. Why did he never win again on the Ducati? It's because the bikes superior advantage was erased and the gap was closed.
Rossi's still beating his opponets while the only thing The Milkman is beating is his twitter keyboard
Rossi has lost 11 to date (up to and including 2015)
Stoner lost 10
Also Talps (welcome back btw), Stoner did win on the Ducati after 2007 .......... he won races not championships
Interestingly and to follow your line, One coould well say that Rossi has also not won on the Yamaha since 2009 but I am sure that you would argue 'oh but he has'
As for CS beating the twitter keyboard, well for a person that many claim is so irrelevant to the sport, he and his comments seem to have relevance within your world do they not
Why not just be happy that the Cows won again last night, the Broncs are doing well, the origin will be a whitewash and that Vale will once again be the official team #1
