OK so I like to joke when commenting about the ambitions of Road Racers but serious can be difficult,so just how well is Neil going to do in the States when he tries a two wheeled showdown of WSB and AMA with a sabatical in between? His victory of WSB 2003 was described as 'neat' and not much else. Neil was simply not given any room for error this year and it could be argued that he was not always popular, or does Max Biaggi run his good friends off the racetrack? Leaving behind local rumours of theft and violence at British National Racing didn't help, who noticed the stone throwing after yet another Hodgson 'off late in the season? Its all very well for him to 'want to make history' but that is ambitious and making the stupendous statement of 'The main thing that I have discovered this year is that I cannot race just to make up the numbers. I need to win!' is like a thicko asking if he can make a wish. Of course I want Neil to do well, all I can do is remind him that America is the land of the gun.
