| Re: Moto GP Rider Standings No doubt CE has been the invisible man this year, but I have to admit I was surprised to see he still finished 4th overall right behind Nicky. At least gotta give credit for being consistent. |

| Re: Moto GP Rider Standings Thomas Stevens won the AMA championship a few years back without ever winning a race and only had 2 seconds if I remember correctly. He was the invisible man at all the races as he was always there but never seen . . . |

He didn't have the balls to crash or win....instead he would settle to finish where he could instead of tossing it in the gravel. |

| Re: Moto GP Rider Standings In 2-3 years nobody will remember who was 4th place in 2005 MotoGP. That's a worthy spot to finish, but not too much to brag about. |

In fact, if I sat in the fourth row at a MotoGP race, I'd probably work that into a lot of conversations as well.  |
