I feel this rider needs his own thread, he's had some very interesting results this season. Discuss

I think Kallio would do well in MotoGP if he had a ride on the Yamaha or Honda. He rode the Pramac bike, a bike that made Aleix Espargaro, Andrea Ianonne, Hector Barbera, and more look like a bunch of fools that don't even belong in MotoGP. Yet all of them were competitive in the lower classes, or in Aleix's case, is competitive now (at least for CRT standards, which are hard to really judge)

Thanks Willski, I think so to.
I hope I've inspired other PSers to start other important threads as well. Follow your dreams...

Cali?Oh, I doubt he would fit in here. I used to think he was nice and meek.Ah, but that all changed when he started torpedoing people in MotoGP.

I like Finnish motorcycle racers, not simply because the country produced one of the greatest two wheeled talents of all time, but chiefly because they all tend to be able to do this...

He took pole position by 0.5s and won both races this weekend in the CIV Superbike Championship at Mugello.

So I guess we don't need to look there for the next MotoGP rider...

Exactly. It would be interesting to see a few more of these type of wildcard rides in different competitive series around the world to demonstrate where the game is actually at if you have aspirations to make it to world championship level. Maybe a few cross-over races at the end of the season between Moto3/Moto2/WSS and MotoGP/WSBK/BSB/etc for prize money. The top riders wouldn't be interested but I'm sure there are plenty of mid-packers who would be keen.

This used to happen 20 years ago. Coppa D'oro or something like that. Never got to see any footage of it, but it was a Motardy kinda thing with GP, MX, etc riders all competing after season's end. Road racers with dirt backgrounds used to do well in it, IIRC.
Can anyone remember what it was called and whether anything's made it to YouTube?

I guess. But he really needed to find that few extra to slow Cry Baby. Had he at least got within strike distance and pressure, perhaps Cry Baby would have taken a few defensive lines and flustered him a bit just enuf for Scotty to finish ahead. So im ginna give him a C on this.
Btw have u ever met Kalio? Dude has the personality of a cardboard box.
