    Agreed. It's really starting to sound like he is justifying his failure. Granted, he rode from last to fourth, but he was still very far behind him. His time reflected that. Maybe I am just going to start watching professional kitting championships after all this. :topsy_turvy:

    If he ran from a qualifying position, getting around the Honda boys would have been hard as I think JL would have won easily with that fight going on. Rossi, MM and JL have all lost respect. Watching WSBK next year will probably be much more enjoyable, better yet BSB.

    WSBK was awesome, Rae did a Rossi and Lorenzo combined, stayed on the podium almost every race and took more #1 podiums than not. He was 5 points shy of taking the all time points awarded record too. Hopefully Hayden will do better in WSBK than he has in MotoGP. I'm still keeping both subscriptions for now. Haven't seen any BSB races but might look into this as well.

    Agreed, I've already cancelled my next years subscription to MotoGP...... how are you going to be able to watch BSB in the US?

    It's a pity the Armoy boys don't televise their racing, they did one race this year, hopefully there will be more to come

    There are several guys on our race forum that watch it, I think one uses a streaming HDMI box like the G Streamer. I'm going to talk to them as I think I'm cancelling my GP subscription too.

    If Honda does indeed come out with a new bike (insert V4 here!) then Niki may be in the mix. Look at what Max did. Niki is great at helping develop bikes. And Niki has personality too. lol

    BSB earlier this year, sportsmanship or what

    [video]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JX87paBHE48[/video]

    BSB has some of the best circuit racing ever, Cadwell Park and Oliver's Mount are just a couple of the circuits, YouTube them for an idea of what racing is over here

    With all of the soap opera crap we should not forget Danny Kent in Moto 3! Didn't lose by 1 point this year.
    Congrats Kent.

    Love Shakey Byrne. Kionari was way too hot and he must have been crapping his leathers with his rear end sliding and flying off the ground.

    Looked like it did a headstand on the rear and snapped off the swing arm. Definitely a first that I've seen

    No, "We" didn't...I got exactly the crown I wanted, as did many other fans that don't follow the Italian guy that lost the title.

    The old mayor of Carmel would not put up with the shenanigans of Dorna. Where did you see him Duc?
