Nowt to do with getting worked up Chi or with my mindset.???....."to defeat your enemy you must make him your friend to find his weakness"

but seriously im interested to know ! anyone that has been in a competative environment before will understand that and why is it so hard for the powers that be to give us the info.?

phil

ps..yeah im ok..pretty fast..you all know that but what do you know about the " nameless " entrants huh.?

My favourite Sun Tzu line;
"Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him." Here kitty, kitty.....

I must say I disagree with the analogy. If Rossi was a guest rider, you could study the tapes all you wanted but it still wouldn't stop him pi$$ing off into the distance.

On the day, I'll be busy fixing whatever happens to have broken and might spare a glance at the qualifying times.

sure no information would prepare you for Rossi but it would be nice to know he was entering....and you may be fixing your bike while others might want to study the competition what is wrong with wanting to know who is entering ..??? who you are lined up against etc......i fail to see that as a problem.......

Yes, it's just you Phil

Je lisais la version française de votre blog - elle est bien mieux que la version anglaise !

Really ? Thank you.
So you can read French...
And so my English is crap

I keep hoping to be able to make jokes in English one day (anyway I won't leave your island before this...).

It's better than my French!

I never realised that "huile de coude" was an expression the French used - that made me laugh!

thought so.....did not expect anything less.

[TP]

I can't see anything wrong with Phil wanting to know who is involved. I don't think I need to worry about it too much because it's not really going to have an impact on my preparation regardless.

People prepare for things in their own way, Phil has competed in sport to a high level and if this is what works for him then cool - no big deal.

just makes me beg the question, why?

its a bit like tierry henry playing against the local pub team and banging loads of goals past them. cant imagine he would gain a whole lot of satisfaction from it.

I can't understand what satisfaction people get out of being a real big fish in a small pond either, but people do it.

When I was club rallying back in the 80's we were all in Mk III Escorts and 2.3 Chevettes and yet one bloke with shed loads of money used to turn out in an ex-works Metro 6R4, full support crew in a damn great artic truck, racks of OZ wheels with a huge selection of tyres from forest tyres to slicks...and yes, he used to win...by miles. But where is the fun in that?

Competition, it gets crazy you know
