Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

The guy has skills,he hadn't even ridden a bike until he was 18(so I read).It's just too bad he's such a tool,though it seems many top riders these days are.

Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

I love the way he whinges and whines, gets what he wants and STILL ain't winning races. Fuk Rossi was jammin it to him for most of the race on an obviously ill handling yammy.
Pity Ice C ain't gettin the job done yet either, but when he does.............GONE. (Ice C being Colin E)

Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

Hope so Sook, many of us have been waiting to see it, I hope he does it.

Max is running out of excuses now. Val beat him fair and square first race, and the Yamaha was noticeably not as good as the Honda, Val had to override it to win. So finally Max couldn't say anything, now with the Repsol backing his bike, and a tighter connection with HRC (obviously this happened because Repsol isn't seeing their Logo at the front, and HRC is starting to think Hayden/Barros aren't quite cutting it) he had no excuses left to use.

Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

What's funny is that if Rossi didn't make a mistake in the last race, Max might have not caught him.

Probably true...but you really can't take anything away from Max....

He ran a brilliant race.....fastest lap by 0.255....and his best lap was over 4/10th's faster than Rossi's.....

If ? Might ?

Look, if Rossi was superman, he wouldn't have made the mistake, right? So he's human, and he's going to have to get some cooperation if the M1 isn't going to hinder his title run. Maybe his development skills aren't as deep as everyone thought, they seem to be going backwards...

And the most significant thing is that Max didn't fold this time, Vale did. CHECA beat him on the same bike, though he's a bit of a Le Mans specialist.

HRC isn't playing. They'll back anyone that can finish ahead of the Dr., and Max has done that 2 out of 3 races.

Wait, didn't Max B. just run down those kids in the parade? I saw his picture right above the article! How can they reward this kind of carelessness?

I saw that! I'm not sure that's the publicity Repsol was looking for.

Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

Direct from Ice C's website, he says that they have the front end sorted now and have gone back to the forks that everyone else is using instead of the SP2 front that he thought was better initially. Apparently it is better when it's cool, but once the track is hot, it skates too much. I'm just gonna say this. Mugello is gonna be won by Colin. Just wait and see.

Re: Max finally gets his whiny a** wish

Looking forward to another good race. Just so long as Sete finishes ahead of Biaggi, I'm happy. As for Rossi, I don't think he is going backwards - but I think the forward movement has slowed a to a walk. As for tracks, everyon ehas their favourite, this is why the champ is the one that gets the most points over a whole season

True, but I really think that if Col gets the front sorted, and he says he has, then watch out. He topped the time sheets last round for q1 and most of q2. Once 100%, he's gonna be hard to beat.
