I thought that he was milking it for a while too but after a couple of reviews, I can honestly say OUCH, thats gotta hurt.
If they're both moving at the same speed then I wouldn't think that there would be much difference in pressure than if they were to be standing still.

I ain't no glutton, just takes more than a few net sluts to upset me that's all. Either way, I didn't see ANYONE pick the Zombie, so you can all eat me. Hahaha. And Sete was spankin all of them until he lost it on "ice corner". I'll be the same "glutton" come China, so start thinkin up your insults and one liners now, coz so far, you all take the piss like a pack of 3rd graders.

Actually, the biggest joke of the weekend was Hayden. Besides the poor weather, it was like Honda told him that Jarez was his last crash...period.

Hey, it's better to ride around like a pussy than crash, right? I mean, that's all we've been reading lately.
I agree, his race showing was poor. It was quite obvious he was in "don't crash" mode.
I'm also not worried about him. He is by far the fastest, most talented racer America has in GP, and he will finish the season off just fine.

I'd like to agree with you. And in perfict conditions I would but...Colin has always proven to be the best "poor weather" American rider on the GP grid. I can't tell you how much I was cringing watching the 250 race knowing the weather would turn for GP. BTW, that 250 race was awsome!

No, that's just being a C$&T, but anyway................ we'll see who wins out on the points at years end. After all, Hayden is on the best RCV in the paddock ,and CE is on that crappy Yamaha, that is onlt up there coz of Rossi's genius.

Can we just end all this hatred by saying that no "Yank" has done dick in three seasons. They've all been disappointing while showing a race or two of hope.

Only two people consistantly matter, and that's been the case for two years. Jezuz why do we argue over people that finish outside the top five and are usually 15+ seconds back.
