I really can't do with watching that type of racer (actually "Quick rider). Give me a proper spectacle, but without the falling of and breaking bones bit, where the blokes are swapping positions/paint and after race insults. [QUOTE][QUOTE] [2]. As I recall, he didn't often do the take off into the distance[/QUOTE] thing, so had to mix it up a little. I was quite excited when he went to the big class, thinking he'd be the man to take it to Rossi. However, the showdowns that we expected never really happened.[/QUOTE] After hearing all the compliments he was given when he came to the big class, so was I, but as far as I've seen, he's done absolutely fuck all to challenge the leaders. Same thing with Colin Edwards and it's about time he was put out to grass.
