Kevin Schwantz is out of line and Hack Oxley is a ....... hack never worth reading.
If Schwantz should whine about anything it should be to point out Suzuki have ALWAYS participated in GP half-assed. Neither Schwantz nor Hack go into any detail about how detrimental the Michelin has become (despite Hack pointing out how the Suzuki ran well in preseason and the first couple of races, any more obvious and the answer would burn a hole in this already useless "articles". Hack hasnt stopped to consider it mirrors Viñalez and the obvious ramifications. ) I remember both of these guys saying very critical .... about Stoner while at Ducati (which proved them spectacularly wrong); unsurprisingly, were critical of Ducati when their buddy Rossi cruised around.
The Manipulatichelin has screwed up the Suzuki. When the Bridgestone was Rossied, Suzuki couldn't cope with the change and ended up taking a hiatus from the sport in 2011. They've received special concessions too, a "factory" entry enjoying satellite and open class Mulligans. Look what the tire changes has done to Honda, forcing one of the greatest talents of our generation to ride around with his ball sac in his throat, tentatively because the front tire might go Isis. But unlike Honda, Suzuki don't participate with the commitment to throw an army of engineering and resources to mitigate the metamorossiphosis that is the Michelin.
Has Krops written a scathing piece on Iannone yet or is he just satisfied to retread Hack's worthless takes? I hope not, he might have to ban himself from his own site. Teleporters of this ilk tend to gang up on convenient riders, though I'm still waiting for these guys to take Rossi to task for his entourage that developed the most damaging conspiracy ever to the sport. I like how Schwantz glibly admitted not understanding what was spoken by Iannone to his techs but making conclusions about it. Ironically, Schwantz would get banned from Krops site if he disparaged a rider on his mere impression.
That Suzuki is ..... It's on par with KTM and Aprilia, nobody is taking their riders to task. Iannone ran excellent race pace at Qatar and Argentina. (Argentina, the scene of the attempted tire coup thwarted by the safety commission, then what happened?) I like how Hack wrote a piece supporting his unfettered admiration for Cuntslow's gratuitous crashing but here seems to make the point Iannone hasn't crashed enough to make some conclusion about Iannone's commitment. Maybe Iannone has looked over at Rind and thought, wait, I'm no good if I'm injured. Astonishingly the "logic" here is, hey look, my teammate got injury now I'm gonna phone it in. Not, hey look, my teammate got injured by this piece of .... Suzuki and their half hearted reaction to the Manipulatichelin.
Suzuki had the hottest commodity in Viñalez signed up. They even had an option to keep him another year. What did Suzuki do? This exemplifies the modus operandi of Suzuki's participation in MotoGP. Mr. Suzuki's brand ambassador should point out the message the manufacturer transmitted by letting Viñalez go so readily. Suzuki had all the leverage to keep Viñalez, so ask yourself, why would they let him go? It speaks about Suzuki racing. Suzuki are not serious about contending in GP. When was the last time this large Japanese manufacturer ran a satellite team? They field 2 bikes where tiny Ducati field 3x as many. Has Hack or Schwantz pointed out Suzuki has won practically .... in 40 years? Why did Suzuki let Ben Spies go? Ben ran respectable on wildcards then Mother Mary saw how Suzuki were dicking around her son and they left to win a world championship as a rookie on a Yamaha. Why should Suzuki get a pass? They've been .... for ever. They practically murdered John Hopkins. Suzuki have had plenty of top tier talent, rider's talent and careers destroyed by a manufacturer participating in mediocrity. Most notably Randy Mamola, but they've had riders like Russell and Chandler, Machenzie and Beattie, Barros, etc. Riders for Suzuki are the frogs willing to give the scorpion a ride across the lake, Suzuki's lack of commitment stings them to death. Then we read hacks talking .... about the frog. Suzuki's pattern of racing mediocrity is consistently .....
