Roberts on pole?

I agree that he should've left Suzuki 4 years ago and I agree that his
championship was a bit opportunistic (in that there was a bit of a vacuum
that year) but I watched him back in 2000 and he was always trying to graft
extra points, always getting up after a crash and trying to get going,
rejoining races after a tyre-change and trying to get that extra point...
in short; acting like I reckon a true championship contender should. (Not
kicking hay-bales or kneeling in gravel-pits in mock appeals to god like
these other stupid wankers do!)
Yes I agree he hasn't been trying since the V5 Honda appeared but I still
reckon some of that spark can be rekindled if he can get a half-competitive
package!

Yeah; I hoped the same but that's only because I can't see anyone rising up
to take him on (which I'd far far rather see!).
Biaggi is disappointing me so Edwards, Bayliss & Roberts and (maybe
Killer-Tamada) are my hopefuls for a decent fight.
Clem,

 

Very much agree with you on the 'old days' racing.. it was sweet
compared.

Biaggi is another mamola
Edwards, I dont think has it, but is only early in career in this
class
bayliss, no fuckin hope
roberts, has been.. get rid of him
tamada, would be nice if he was consistant...

 

Somehow I don't thing either Frank Williams or Ron Dennis would agree with
you. Both had much success with previous Honda engines and both their teams
are now sitting behind the Honda powered operation in the points. It would
appear your personal jealousies are giving you the power of no idea.

Not sure, I'm inclined to think he's entered the big league a bot too late.

Paul Lewis revisited.

As with most of his countrymen. They seem to do well enough in the lower
classes but can't quite cut it when they get to the open class.

He's gettin' pretty bloody consistent! (For a second-string rider on
wierdo tyres!)
Clem

 

Didya see.. didya see?... Roberts was the only one who immediately took
Rossi back after Rossi passed him.
Get up champ.... come on champ.......

It wont happen Clem, no matter how much you wish.. He wont have ride
next yr.

 

Tady Okada would have a go, too.

In fairness to the apparently gutless wonders who don't have a lash, I'm
starting to think that Rossi can make a surge that creates a gap so quickly
that they just can't physically get near enough without going over the edge.

They get paid just as much for finishing with some points as they do for
crashing, too.

Stoner's efforts should make a lot of the motogp riders blush. That boy has
a red-hot go.

Good point...

Its a shame, Im like Clem, I hope he can stick with it..
Abe is another almost, but never will... but then 90% of the field are
only there to make up numbers.

 

He's gettin' pretty bloody consistent!
What places has he had lately? (just havent heard about him much)

Few others wish they were on weirdo tires on weekend!

 

You old blokes live in the past!

 

Yeah OK; not many results but he's been consistently fast and has been let
down by his tyres a few times.
Clem

 

He didn't give up did he?
I was stunned at how "perfect" his riding was and how he'd jump on any tiny
slip by the others.
I almost cried when they just motored past him on the straight on the last
lap......
Man he deserves a win!
Clem

 

Abe's best GP was his first one. The way he'd tuck in behind Doohan and
then pull more and more impossible overtaking moves at the end of the
straight was fantastic.

Sure it all ended in shit but you couldn't help but cheer for the cheeky
wild-card!
Clem

 

Mum, can I have some of what he is having?

Hammo

 

Yea remember the commentators saying shit like WHAT THE **** IS HE
DOING UP FRONT...
like he had no right to be there...

 

Which country and brand makes the 1st and 2nd place in the championship
standings [again] ?

Heh, can't keep your "logic" going so you change the subject. How
surprising.

The most boring thing about watching Doohan race was often the gap
between first and second. Not much dicing going on there. Doohan
first, daylight second...
