T.sykes should be given a chance in motogp , the blokes on fire at the moment .

That was also said about Toseland at the time.

Cal is doing solid job atm: front rows in quali and 'generally' showing a good race pace. He has 3Aliens, Spies(despite his current problems!!!) and Dovi in his way. For Cal to have a couple of 4ths already is, imo, bloody good. The second season is generally regarded as tougher than the first so he/we/Tech3 should all be happy. 

Glad he got away with cuts and bruises today and nothing more.   

P.C

We are racing 1000cc bikes , not those fickle 800cc bikes . The 1000s are going to suit the wsb boys far more than the 800s , and cal is prooving that.......

-10 too bud!

Agree with 'Benny'.

The thou's 'in theory/Elbowz World' should be right up Ben's street. A big fella who's used to big cc's. Unfortunately things don't always pan out. Maybe there's a good shout for WSB riders to jump into the top paddock ............................but try to explain that to Bradl (and many more to follow). Most of the recent champs/factory riders have come from the 'second tier' of the same paddock. Not many from WSB have got a sniff.  

I cant see much change in the future tbh.

Benny...

always looking at the positives , but sometimes its good to read in to the negitives......lol

Benny.

1.At the moment  Moto2 bikes are slower than WSS bikes , Moto2 dosent even run carbon brakes!! , they also lack power . Hardly the best stepping stone up to Motogp .

2. Remember this is the 1st year of the 1000s , and there are only 2 riders from WSB  racing in the Motogp class . 1 of them is having problems , the other is right at the sharp end . Plus the bloke at the sharp end is WSS champ , not a WSB champ , does that not tell you something .

3. How many riders from Moto2 have made a any  impact in motogp since the 600 4st era started?.....none!

4. Right now , out of all the brits , T.sykes is top dog , and the only " youth "  worth a look at . Okay , maybe hes not the only one . 

5. 500s , 800s , 990s......that was back then , this is now . If you are looking for names , well , like you said - " that was a while ago " .
