Numbers will surprise in some cases I suspect
Rossi, Dov and Hector have the smaller number of the ful ltimers
Lowes, Marky Marc and Bautista have the most.
From the Official Site:
986 – Casey Stoner has accumulated 986 points during his career in the MotoGP class. If he finishes either first or second in Qatar he will become the 17th rider to pass the milestone of 1000 points in the premier class of Grand Prix racing.
So either Dorna can't do...
Presumibly Stoner will run with 27 ?
I not sure if Rossi will stick with 46 as hes always done, theres been to No1s recently and maybe he'll bow to the No1 mentallity ?
Anyone know of anything ?
Two questions, i wanna ask really.
why have riders come to running the numbers they do, ie why does loris always run 65, shinya 56, hopkins 21 etc. is it all supersticious reasons or what?
secondly, why is no rider allowed to have a 3 digit number?
