Sad thing is being a racer these days is a thankless task ! the new breed of team owners that have been spawned over the last decade think they can just buy and sell riders at a whim without a thought to the team development spoil it .They should try getting on a 200bhp missile in a fiercly competitive series and see how they fare.Where the hell did birdy come from anyway all i have ever heard about him is when he's sacking someone and that can't be good for the sport or morale , he seems like a spoilt rich kid who spits the dummy out if (his) riders don't come up trumps every raceday , imagine if all the lesser mortals in non works teams were sacked every time they had an injury or didn't win a race we wouldn't have a race series to support . Can you see yamaha sacking rossi cos of injury or bad results ! i don't think so they put their faith in the team and riders , mcwilliams never stood a chance with birdy and mr bird ought to climb back under the slimy rock he appeared from and put his money into the prima donna car racers cos he's not welcome in a series where riders bust their balls every time they race to be under constant threat of the sack by a little hitler! Ah thats better got it off my chest
