Alright guys, think fast, I need help. Colin Edwards, or Kenny Roberts?

Colin Edwards: 36 Million, so will empty my coffers, but is the most consistent points finisher on the grid, plus its his home race.

Kenny Roberts: 29 million, so much much cheaper. Also his home race, but not such a consistent finisher.

Chris Vermeulen: 26 Million, I could actually save money by taking Chris, and he won twice here in SBK's. The question is whether he can match the two Americans, and is the bike up to it?

I'm 1 mil. short of getting nicky!!!

IR, no chris vermeulen, sbk and motogp are as different as day and night. look at bayliss: he is the top at the sbk, but where was he during the motogp?? right, maybe around 5th - 10th...

I wouldn't take roberts, look at the last race. he qualified realy well, but during the race he couldn't make any difference.

so I'd say edwards

matt you realy have a solid team right now!!

I thought he was doing really well till he took out Tamada!

I thought he did well, considering he is roberts, but he was so easily taken over by everybody. he could have finished at place 6/7 in sachsenring if he didn't crashed, not better. In the overall season he's getting better again, but in the races he's just not there yet

I think edwards is a smarter choice, last year at laguna he did realy well and he is realy on fire to get himself a win. which place is better to do that then his own home GP?

I think Roberts could have hung in there and fought if he wanted to but he has said at the past few races that he's been trying to stay out of everyone's way considering there are so many title contenders and he isn't one of them.

agreed...I think Roberts and Tamada really could have had an impact on the end of that race if they didn't crash.

Right, I've taken KRJR, Colin Edwards is just too expensive, I'll never get Repsol Honda if I take on Colin.

yer but mari ... if u look at chris in comparison to the rookies .... chris has seen the track and knows the pace ... guys like stoner and pedrosa haven't ... but the rookies have the advantage of coming up through the 125's and 250's classes and chris came through WSBK ./..

its a personal choice, but u gotta weigh up the positives and the negatives ... the only way we're gonna know is at race time
