soihok Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I understand what he's saying, but it's all well and dandy when you are in the cosy lap of the factory Honda team isn't it. Sometimes there are about 14 riders on the grid, which is rather pitiful when you compare it to Moto2. It's a bit daft him saying that I feel, but, hey ! He's the world Champ , not me. Up to you Casey......the goal of all the factory teams is to ( other than win ) sell bikes to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickey Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Quite right Soihok, although nothing has been posted in Moto GP or other sites, perhaps it was just a rant [which he is famous for] and exploited like some media people do, Its taken me a long time to find the following site about next years rules and regs, the following is the best i could find, very interesting,, http://www.motogp-news.info/ftr-to-build-bqrs-motogp-bike/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickey Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thats right Soihok,,just read all the 18 pages of the Rossi v Moaner thing, whereas Rossi welcomes the CRT machines, and would ride one if nesasary, Stoner wouldnt, Im really looking forward to next year with more bikes on the grid, its got to be better for Moto Gp no matter what Stoner says, ..

Good site that Soihok, and Lickey I'm looking forward to next year, it will be great to see a CRT machine holding Stoner up.
