 Practice up, I'm going to be there in the fall.

That is the extent of their HRC support. -------------------- To consider Kevin Schwantz an equal rider to Rainey, Doohan and Lawson is to overrate him. His entertainment value, popularity and legendary status can be compared (and is arguably superior) to those he rode against, but he achieved significantly less on the track.

QUOTE (Son of Doohan @ Jul 2 2008, 02:25 AM) He's only done 4 laps. One would presume a crash although him being that far off the pace and crashing seems a bit strange. This was a quote from the redbull website: "Nobuatsu Aoki of Japan, pictured, turned a few laps on the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team bike July 1 before handing it over to American Ben Spies." So basically, he flew all the way from Japan to help set-up the bike for Ben...that is why his lap times are soooo slow and why he only lapped 4 times. WOW! Ben gets all the "Red Carpet Treatment" from Suzuki. Suzuki really wants him for next year. They better hurry up and offer him that full-time ride next year. My guess is Chris is on his way to WSBK or a Sat. Team next year for Honda. We'll see! |

i'd hate to see what happens when a crash like hopper did and flies into that very soft concrete wall at 300k/hr

I'd hardly call Spies a test rider. I'm expecting Spies to go fastest this afternoon though, else we can all praise Canepa as a new god.
