ok Johnny boy

you want me to stick to the subject, huh? I'll give it to like this:

JT was a backstabber that you guys put all your hopes into but when he ran with the big dogs and got bit in the ass you guys are crying and whining like a baby that Colin is rubbing salt into his wounds and want to slag Edwards off like it's his fault JT wasn't fast enough or produced good results.

Is that on the topic enough for you?

normal modest Edwards

For an average rider Edwards certainly is full of himself, well past his sell by date, he must be breathing a big sigh of relief to have a contract and I am sure he will do all he can to make Toselands lot shakey, and he will look forward to another average year in 2010 (yawn).

Still if we dont have a brit in the GP class next year I wont have to waste my time watching it and perhaps the BBC might pick up a class with consistent competitive passing and crowd pleasing, bring on BSB a breath of fresh air.

Sponsorship - Elsa1234

This one's directed at you Elsa given your proclaimed role within the circus and your last mindless comment. Remember that MotoGP is dominated by the latins because it is THEIR money from THEIR captains of industry that invest in our sport for our enjoyment - good on them all, where would we be without them? And frankly they also have the best riders - you only need to look at the results for that one. Where are all the British teams and British money? Is not Britain the 2nd or 3rd largest economy in Europe? Have you not been banging on British doors to try and rustle up a Euro or two? Don't bitch about others success - it's come about through hard work, life shouldn't come to you on a platter.

And what's with the

"well if there isn't a Brit rider in MotoGP than I'm not watching" crap?

So you guys just started watching GPs last year or something?

I mean really - are you guys not fans of the sport or what?

JT isn't fast enough to keep his seat and you guys bitch and moan about the series, sponsors, and other nationalities.

I've been watching F1 regularly for the pass 15 years and if I was watching it just for Americans not only would I not be a true fan of the sport but I wouldn't be watching it at all!!!!!!!!! I'm wasn't waking up at 7:30am on a Sunday morning after a night of drinking and chasing girls to watch Scott Speed run in 15th!!!!! I was doing it because I loved the sport - and I still do. Same with WSBK. I'll be watching wither a Yank races in the series or not - just like I always have.

On the Rossi re-evaluating his contract................... 

Rossi is signed with Yamaha til the end of 2011, BUT, he is NOT happy that Jorge has negotiated in his deal with Yamaha that he has FULL access to all of Rossi's setttings, tyre data, parts, EVERYTHING.  So he has very openly stated he will look at it by mid-next year.  This has also been put forward as the real reason for Rossi wearing his "Donkey" helmet at Misano as he has commented at how unfair it is that he is now doing the "donkey work" and Jorge gets to capitalise from it. 

This fits in very nicely should Vale go to Ducati. Here's some thoughts for his possible motivation. Rossi has been beaten to the championship crown twice. Once by a Honda, once by a Ducati. Rossi has won the WC on a Honda and admitted he screwed up and lost to Hayden in '06. But the only rider to beat him substantially, was Stoner on the Ducati. it is a blight on his record that I'm sure he would like to undo by winning on the Ducati.  Also, he wants to be the first Italian since Agostini to win the crown on an Italian bike (and probably breaking Ago's record of 124 wins at the same time) to truly be the Greatest of all Time. 

Food for thought isn't it.......................
