Riders you dislike

You take the bait so easily mate. Why bother he's just winding you up. Look at his silly comments about Stoner, and the fact that factory rides should only go to people who have won championships. Crock of .... if you ask me.




because i want motogp to be the best?

You just wont get over the fact that Randy is fast, he always has been.


Damn, can i see his trophy cabinet?

He probably has more leathers with holes in them than trophies

i really don't dislike any of the riders. like BG said they have provided me with countless hours of entertainment. they all have more riding talent in thier little fingers than all of us combined. but 1 thing will really piss me off & lose all respect for a racer.... if i think he/she gives up i cannot tolerate quiters. what hoffman did really upset me & for the 1st time i really felt dislike for a rider.

The hoffman thing got blown way out of proportion.

I generally dislike the riders who've been fast-tracked in to situations they don't deserve and they fail to deliver. To whom much is given much is expected.

Public enemy #1 is Pedrosa.

He hasn't delivered, he hit his teammate at the penultimate round because he can't control his emotions (despite the fact they never appear on his face), and he threatens the sport because his success will be correlated with his size (motogp will become like motorized horse-racing where nobody cares about the jockeys).

He is the one man evil empire. I'm reaching the point where I really hope Rossi wins another title or two, even if he stumps Hayden, because Rossi is the anti-Bot: big, talented, successful, hilarious, and ambassadorial.

Heir to Pedrosa's throne: Bradley Smith

Another redheaded stepchild from another big-market country who's getting his ego wanked by everyone in the sport. Too bad cuz he's British and they haven't made an impact in decades. Hopefully, JT will steal his thunder and then Brad can miss the hype.

Hopefully he will grow, and produce without drama

I'm sorry, but to suggest that Pedrosa was fast-tracked into a situation he doesnt deserve is rediculous when he is a three time gp world champion. It is an even more rediculous claim when his team mate (the one you like) was fast tracked from a national superbike series. Thats far less justified. Dani certainly hasn't failed to deliver either considering he has won more races and scored more points than Nicky since they have shared a garage, and finished runner up in this years championship beating rossi.

furthermore you are nothing short of foolish if you put the estoril accident down to out of control emotions, how little credit can you give such a professional, really? And as if he really threatens the sport as much as people who ask for rule changes when they lose, and countries selectively buying into the sport for revenue.

I'm suggesting Pedro was fast tracked into his 125 and 250 situations as well.

The part about his out of control emotions is not foolish in the least. Pedro revealed 1 or 2 rounds before the Estoril incident that he was frustrated by Rossi, Hayden, and Melandri for attempting to intimidate him with hard passes.

Hayden made a hard pass on him, 2 or 3 turns later Pedro attempts to ride his bike somewhere it didn't belong and then fell. Logic and rational intelligence are on my side, not yours.

It doesn't mean I'm certainly right, but branding me as foolish was a waste of your time.

If by "logic and rational intelligence" you mean, jumping to wild and unrealistic conclusions to suit your prejudices, then yes you are right.

Good to see you kids enjoying yourselves

I agree with you but then you say De Puniet has always been a fast rider and hes won nothing apart from one race i think in 250.

5 250cc victories in fact (same as Stoner), and we know he hasn't won champiosnhips, probably because he is too erratic, but he has always been fast. He was 3rd in the 250cc world championship in 2004, thats not bad at all.

Melandri: Trying to knock down an opponent on purpose ... no need to further explain.



I too disliked Melandri for his manouvers that day, but he has amtured a lot since then and we don't see any of that behaviour from him now. Will he ever be forgiven?

Hopper - I find him pretty mundane to watch, and his speed seems over hyped to me, but those are both pretty forgivable things and could all change next year. Mostly i don't like his behaviour, to me he comes accross with the kind of attitude and manorismns of a freestyle motocrosser on the extreme sports channel, and its lame.

George Fogarty for gettin' in the bleedin' way.

Yeah, I been watching the "Silverstone Dream" dvd

I guess the riders I like less are:


Melandri (Alzamora incident),


What Alzamora incident? I can't recall this?

Alzamora and Melandri were figthing for the 125cc title in 1999, in the last race Melandri was leading, a distant second was Alzamora and the rest were even further behind. 2nd was good enough for Alzamora to win the championship, so Melandri slowed down and tried to push Alzamora offtrack.

Though I guess maybe it's time to forgive Melandri that was almost 10 years ago and IIRC he's had a clean sheet since.

My not so favorite riders

Heheheh, first post of yours i've liked

Bloody Paul and Paul Jnr.. Annoying fekkers.. Dont get me started on Mikey..

its pretty ridiculous to hold that against melandri now, thats like hating capi for the harada incident.
