Whats wrong with poor old Troy Corser ?

Post by FESTER »

8) You gotta feel for Troy at the moment . He is one of the real genuine nice guys out there . This jinx that appears to have hit him . So unusual to see him not doing well . He was the King of the Superpole at first .

Hope this string of bad luck he is going through at the moment , dont tempt him to retire at the end of the season . Cant have both Troys going ! .

Be good to see him get Bayliss ride for next season . Although Shakey Byrne may be the hot favorite !! 8)

yep i genuienly mean it mate

been against it since day one,see how much more interesting it is motogp with the tyre battle and bsb was fun with the michelin/dunlop battles. the pirellis just dont seem upto the required level to me,take wsbks it took pirelli over 2 years to break lap records when the bikes had moved from gsxr750's to the 04 fireblades which as your aware is a far superior bike :roll:

Yeah but i am sure i remember comments from you last year how it was unfair seeing a world champion like Rossi struggling on Michys when Bridgys were in a league of thier own. Ok the Bike wasn't great and was a damn site slower but i hate seeing races dictated by what tyres they are running. Hot weather suits Bridgys cold suits Michys and in between ????? Depends if its damp or not.

I like the level playing field. F1 is sorting it and next year will be even better with the lack of airo bits and slicks back.

MOTOGP is in deep danger of going down the same route as F1 has and will loose mega interest if they don't sort it soon and now with the punishment Haslam suffered in BSB (weather he was guilty or not) this is the start of a big impact in bikes all round.

SAFETY and MONEY is ruininng the sport.

Bring back the days when they used to punch each other :lol: :lol: :lol:

mainly last year i said the yam was as much to blame as the tyres,michelin got right royally raped by bridgestone and both companies have now upped their game. its good to see how rossis adapted to the new tyres and the improved bike too
ive always been against the pirelli control deal and the early stats showed it,its a shame the bikes have changed in bsb this year as i'd have been interested to see the lap times and the differences to see if pirelli have upped their game :?:

The organisers want LAP TIMES slower for safety reasons but MONEY always talk mate and the more you got the quicker and better you will be. Honda (BSB) has put alot of money into thier electronics the past 2 years and has shown with the taisty launch control,traction control.

Obviously they havn't got Shakey riding for them.

Its always the BIGGER, BETTER, MORE MONEY TEAMS up there and its not fair. Plus as time goes by its going to get worse.

Ferrari, Maclaren always rule the roost in F1 but things are changing

They need to make motorsport no matter what form it is down to the persons winning cause of his or her skill not what money the team has.

MORE EQUALY PLAYING FIELD ME THINKS :wink:

yeah but surely its the same at any level of motorsport that isnt done on equal machinery

ask webber about some of the money being spent on bikes at NG level, there was a k7 1000 at mallory on friday that was a endurance bike with full telemtry,wheel sensors,brake sensors,etc and a full gps circuit tracker that made the info visible on the dash. far too much money but its technology that may get passed down to us one day :roll:

does this arguement not cover other sports like football,cricket,rugby league,rugby union where money talks,hell even horse racing is ruled by which stables have the most money and the best trainers etc
