Then I think it may be broken.My sarcasm meter is registering off the scale.

That's the part I don't agree with, any ....... thing could happen. Any crazy wildness is feasible with this much money at stake. I just think the only sensible option is to keep his ... planted on the red.Well I think that was Kropo's not so subliminal message (intended or unintended). Its that or retire.

Which makes the money that is there all the more important, which was my point. Retaining as Kroppo put it "The cash cow".In these days of economic downturn, there is no longer "this much money"

Nice line...
Now, more seriously, there is one option that might have been overlooked in that (lucid and exhaustive) article: CRT. We are all looking at CRTs with a condescending smile now, but with a rev limit of 15,000, all the rest remaining the same (24 liters, 12 engines) a CRT like Aprilia could become suddenly competitive against those castrated prototypes.
Actually, that rev limit would be the great equalizer: sophisticated electronics would count much less with torquey 1000cc prototypes limited to 15k rpm... Close battles would be de facto guaranteed, a la Moto2, and in those scraps an old racer like Rossi could shine again, even in his decline. Whatever the bike, one could almost say...

Nice line...
Did you read it all the way through or did it have too many words for you?And yet the motomatters article is a summation of what "the detractors" had been saying. Though they are labelled "the detractors"...... as I suspect Mr Emmet is by "the Yellow community"

I hope it remains as close as Qatar all year, & may the best man win. Do you remember when I said that 2011 was the year we would find out who Casey really was, what kind of rider he really is? I was wrong, it's an ongoing process & if the problems he is having persist then he has more to prove regarding how he handles the situation. Lorenzo needs to be balls out over the first half of this season to stand a chance later on I believe however & the next few races are crucial.
I do find it amusing that people who have accused Rossi of being a master media manipulator are referring to this "outburst" as such. I thought that he was always so careful about what he said & did? That he was manipulative, & yet I see this being painted as something else entirely by those same journ...people. How odd.
You see, I will talk Moto GP when I see someone worth talking to.
Yeah, see below.Hypocrisy and ridiculous levels of idiocy don't count, as long as your laying the boot into Rossi in some way, shape or form.......
I know you were desperate to disagree with me Bazzo, but were talking attendance & viewing figures here. I really suggest you read Kroppo's full article.Yes but...bbbbbbblaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

..........And I note, personally whilst I was reading the line I had the thought of how some would object to it in the comment section underneath moreso than anything else in the article......and BINGO!
Ducati sales are up in the States because there are so many yuppies and trustafarian posers
riding from the condo to the sushi bar, and none of them have ever heard of Rossi. The number
of spoiled rich kids buying Ducatis has been steadily increasing since the early '80s.
And what Dave said... that the Japs haven't introduced any major changes in the liter
and 600 cc bikes in years. The bikes on which WSBK are based look pretty much the
same as they did 10 years ago. Ducati and BMW keep coming out with new models
with distinct, very much individual characters.
