<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I'm not gonna bother .... I said that in my first post
... that guy is just too "unbiased" for me
Anyway what could he write I haven't gleaned from years of being into it? .... are you saying that this new article isn't just more of "oh that could explain it" ?? ......... don't tell me its that one off article that will answer all those questions I have allways had and could never work out??? will I now finally get to sleep over those burning outstanding questions!!??
oh bummer ..... woe is me
Its motogp, its racing, its meant to be fun to watch ..... I don't think motogp is "broken" as some suggest. But I do object to the kinda stuff we saw last year and this year explaining why things aren't right ..... when clearly in 2006 many were happy, in 2007 many were happy.
If any writer writes an article that "makes Rog feel smug" ..... or ..... is so not about stuff that : "It may get the backs up of a lot of members on here, but there are a lot of points in there about how racing is going that guys have made on here,(myself included) that have been dismissed or derided by others. " ...... hmmm it seems it may have a "bent" to it, or maybe even a purpose ..... do I really want to see why Rog. feels smug.? ..... my usual complaint is that folk love to jump on a bandwagon based on a lot of hoohickey and speculation that gets "reported" in magazines ...... I'm quite capable of finding my own "bandwagons" thanks ...
I don't feel motogp "is broke", it may not be how some don't want it to be, but meh .... it will allways evolve.
So no its ok Pete I think I incidentally get enough chance to read "articles that make Rog smug"
and may or may not justify why motogp is why it is. ....
I'll just see how 08 pans out ...... the end result will turn out as it does irrespective of whether there is specualtion on it or not.
I love this guy, Barry, you can miss a point by miles and never back down!
To be honest, at the time I was writing this post, I wasnt thinking about this season, next season, or whether Stoner will be world champ til he dies aged 95. I was asking if anyone had read a technological article in a magazine. I'm not looking for answers about last season, if you read my posts from the end of the season, you will see that my attitude is that yes Stoner had a very fast bike below him, but he was the only one who could ride it to so many wins. Thats why he won the championship.
Oxley has not answered the worlds problems, he has written a piece that talks about the politics behind the changes to GP racing, and has been debated on here many times, its the politics that piss folks off, not the actual changes.
So yeah, we will wait and see how 2008 pans out, like yorself, Ive been following it a long time, and look forward to any new season, as long as we get a good yeras racing, I dont really care if a Japanese/Spanish hybrid robot munchkin who cannot overtake wins, an Aussie on a remote (traction) controlled bike wins, or an Italian god like genius wins the title at the end of it.
It's all racing, isnt it?
Pete
