Migs knows hes full of ..... Hes just fishing as usual. Rossi got beat by Abraham and other nobody CRTs in an actual race. Yes, a race, where one would be motivated to do well, in VR's case, given great loot to perform at his best, not like a test where stuff is being checked out. For two years we learned that VR's talent as the Goat is overrated to the Nth degree, despite boppers and "experts" refusal to accept this undeniable truth. The lesson is NOT that Rossi is a .... rider (though I would make the case at some point VR had given up in favor of looking toward his bailed out future), but rather that parity is the driver of results! I don't doubt Lorenzo would have had difficulty on a DuCRT, especially Pedro who I believe would have performed much worse than VR, Abraham and Barbera (because of the handling characteristics needing the bike to be muscled, and Pedros is rather small). Rider talent is much closer than we are led to believe because of the major disparity in GP machines.
The point of this thread however, is that despite all the money spent in developing a prototype, it should be embarrassing to the series to get beat by a "production" based model. I mean, even the CRTs theoretically should be beating Wsbks. And because of this, Wsbk will be greatly reduced in performance to give us the ........ illusion that GP remains the fastest an best of the motorcycle racing world.
