Pidg, good to see all riders relatively ok after those, that was pretty serious



As for the second one, sorry, reminds me more of the Craig Jones incident moreso that Sepang but that is one very lucky rider (not to mention the guy that hit him)

120 years ago you would have paid to see that 2 round the back of a circus tent, next to the bearded spider woman, the half horse boy, the real live angel, the unicorn and the funny Australian.



OK the last one is too far fetched

You know Mental better than he knows himself! And thats saying something as we all know Mental's got his head up his own ... most of the time!!



Check out Kropos Site, one little harmless yet very true critique from Krop of Stoner, and he's caused an uproar amongst the Boners, Hilarious-Krops not too popular in OZ.



And MickM, I never said that anyone deliberately changed regs to favor Stoner, I only said that the regs did favor him. The Regs were changed for Honda and Dani, Stoner and Ducati were the highly unlikely beneficiary.



Personally, I feel as though Rossi would be better off to retire if the bike continues along its current path, I don't feel as though a rider and crew like Rossi's can compete anymore with the regs that we have in place, which are designed to crush innovation.

Their talent lies in their ability to dial up solutions on a race weekend-to suit the circuit and conditions, which requires a flexible equipment supply approach. This is not possible anymore, and certainly not with Ducati, who are still well behind-but thats what happens when you play against the ones who made the rules......

Are you serious, truthfully. Ducati have been the only manufacturer to try anything outside the norm over the last 10 years. Now that Rossi & JB are on the scene, they have reversed that & made an exact copy of their rivals.

I agree. Ducati was imo the only real prototype on the grid. Cost zillions with little reward at that imo is what's up with the series.

I really supported Ducati because of their innovative approach. As with anything new, you will always strike problems along the way, & it is the ability to engineer solutions which makes new technology sucessful. I don't think it is the rules that created a problem for Ducati, it is their inability to listen to the rider & develop solutions based on their feedback. I think from 2007 to 2010 they wouldn't admit there were problems because they were winning a few races, therefore left everything as it was. Then from 2011 when JB got on the scene, he couldn't engineer solutions with their unfamiliar (to him) technology, so he has gone for what he & Rossi know.

[font=HelveticaNeue,]So I'm told the same monkey that wrote the Rider was retiring said JB was too. JB has Castrol R for blood, he ain't going anywhere soon.[/font]
