At which point did CSS make him fast??? |
Did they make him fast or did their assistance in some way help him to stay on the bike by changes (possibly only minor) in technique ?
I seem to recall an old adage "you have to finish to win" or "to come first you first have to finish" |
Fair point Paul, but I later found out that this 2004 season that Luthi was such a crasher - he actually didn't even compete at the first 7 GP's due to pre-season injury - so not like he fell off 7 times, he wasn't even there!
Then the last 8 GP's that he did do - he finished every race!! Most of them in the top 10. |
It wasn't a dig at you just a general comment, I guess it's like anything in life it depends on how you approach it and your attitude towards learning.
It won't work for everybody and it won't necessarily result in mind blowing revelations on how to ride better but I doubt that many could honestly say that nothing on the courses would/could help their riding ?
As I said, just a general comment, not aimed at anyone.
I'd like to do the course but it is pretty full up most of the time, I'd like to unlearn the sidecar lines and get a lot better at solo riding.
Before I get deluged with responses saying "yes you fat old git you sure need to" I ALREADY KNOW THAT
