I wonder why everybody's prediction go something like this:
Factory Honda
Factory Yamaha
or
Factory Yamaha
Factory Honda
Anyway, just finished watching the pre-event press conference. Just about every time I see it this year I have similar thoughts: Marc, seems like a nice likeable kid with decent answers, big smile like seemingly unawares, Rossi's answers are more humble and cognizant, Lorenzo also excellent presence of mind but always looks like he is being a bit sarcastic, and the questions asked by reports are usually fairly lame, but usually a few insightful inquiries. Today, they had HRCs Suppo and Yamahas Jarvis to field questions. Noteworthy today were questions about the semen transmission and questions to Jarvis about Crutchlow. Jarvis said that the cost of the semen box was extremely expensive but that Honda had raised the stakes. Also that the semen transmission would not require breaking seal on a virgin engine, as it slipped into the existing slaught nicely. Also, when asked about how he felt about letting go of Crutchlow, his answer had me rolling. He said Crutchlow left Yamaha not the other way around. Ah of course, I mean, I can already imagine the offer Cal turned down. Uhm Cal, we really really ....really want you to stay, so...we are willing to let you stay, thing is we can only pay you 35 Zimbabwean dollars. Is that ok?
Also, the stellar question of the press conference once again goes to Kropo. Who asked the entire panel the following: 'A question for all of you, Hailwood or Agostini?' The panel consisting of two Italian and two Spanish riders, looming in the background 'Aperol' the Italian sponsor, the riders dug deep to answer, despite their youth (admitted to having dinner with Ago), poised to race in Italy (technically San Marino...I suppose), given Hailwood is no longer with us where as Ago is probably sitting in the audience, again this being a race in Italy and all...the answer was probably not immediately predictable. Alas, they all said: Agostini. Brilliant.
Edit: oops, actually Lorenzo said neither, who stated Valentino was the greatest!
Krops, given you have sussed out the fact there are no gays in the series; I have a question request (actually, I asked it a couple of weeks ago, when I kindly requested you to inquire who was the walrus looking limp .... .......... at Ducati who reprimanded Nicky for racing Dovi aggressively, an answer to which I’m still hoping to get). On a related note, we seem to have a tiny nuclear debate going on regarding Marquez, so perhaps you can settle it. Can you asked the sweet smiling lad if somebody has ever coached, spoken to, offered friendly advice, etc. prior to the CatalanGP? Anything will suffice for me, as I would like to know if anybody has mentioned to him to be mindful when riding in the big boy class, given the high profile nature of being teammates at HRC ( any kind of word from formal or informally, regardless of degree, even if its just a word of caution, slight or otherwise, friendly coaching, friendly advice, magnitude is of no consequence, I just want to know if it has happened). Thanks. Keep up the good work.
