WSB + what the hell is wrong with the British media....

I guess I should of known better....I mean - the first British WSB champion since when, 1999???

And here was me expecting to see a full page spread in one of the daily tabloids, how idiotic of me.

After trawling through 8!!! (yes - eight) pages of football related to the stunning England performance of yesterday - I managed to find a small picture of Hodgy (B&W) and some text.....

Half a page (pah), third of a page then - (nope), how about a quater of a page! And even then, two paragraphs were related to the MotoGP race as well.

The press seem oh so happy to print over-hyped (or should that be 'sexed up' )articles on 'dangerous' riding, deaths and speeding but given the chance to appalude a genuine hero and look at the result.

I think its time to retire to Spain !
