yeah and i was there to see it,

and guess what he's "old" too and still kicked everyones arses.

Bayliss is the best piece of evidence for the oldies at the monent, and good on him for showing that an older rider can be as driven as the youngsters.

the older that bloke gets, the better he gets imo, it's not down to age ,its down to attitude.

perhaps, i don't think he is much better than he was in 2001, but experience is a valuable thing.

something about Aussies getting faster with age, hell if Doohan could stand the pain I bet he'd still be on a bike. Age certianly isn't slowing down Mladin.

i agree mate, its attitude not age that counts you should check out the bollocks thats being spouted about age in the Capirossi to Kawasaki thread.

Ha ha that won't happen.
I was saying that Edwards' Le Mans problems were not his fault but the bikes, unlike Donny where Nicky had himself to blame (but the way he never gave up was very gutsy and impressive).
Not like I was having a go at him was it?

He can't get on the podium, they don't have a chairlift on it

I like Jerry and tink he is well respected but in my opinion thats a harsh view to take.

1. even rossi said when asked why he didnt go somewhere like tech toi that he wanted to give himself some chance.

2. the techs are on dunlops which will probably affect their performance

3. its not like the teams are doing nothing they will be working really hard to improve the bikes to improve the positions

4. someone has to come last!!

i agree that there are too many riders occupying spaces when there are good 250 riders who might not get the chance to move up for a few years like dovi, lorenzo, barbara, le __, theres too many riders but nbot enough spaces especially when people are coming in from superbikes.

In my opinion Toseland should stay in superbikes + try get the championship, hes still young and i think atm there is a better chance of him doing well in that than coming into moto gp and sparkling.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Racejumkie @ Jul 10 2007, 03:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Interesting. Lets put Rossi or Casey on the Tech 3 Dunlop team a few races and then ask Burgess which are the lowest performing 6 riders.

Agostini, Lawson, Rainey and Doohan would struggle for points on the current Dunlops, let alone on a Tech 3.
