.... that'll explain why Shakey isn't on the rostrum every race - he's clearly not trying hard enough! Sack him  |
I fail to see the similarity between KRj & Shakey
KRj spends most weekends riding around to collect as much cash as possible before getting the boot/ retiring. Even fellow American Randy Mamola has criticised KRj's lack of motivation/ poor results.
Shakey on the other hand, has spent the past 1.5 years over-riding the Aprillia & now the KTM. I met him last year & believe me, there's probably nobody on the MotoGP grid that appreciates the position they're in more than he does - he was working for a living just a few years ago & there's no way he wants to do that again. I totally believe he's giving 100% all the time which is what racer's are supposed to do (even if that means 15th place on a good day).
