Writing has been on the wall for a while. I think the falling out with his team boss has not helped. It will do Troy a world of good being on a bike which can win. But i do hope it's WSB and not BSB. And also, it will give WSB more credit that it deserves. But, i feel the bike was more at fault than the rider, if a rider does not have the confidence in his machine, he won't suceed.

And to call Hodgson a tail end charlie is harsh. When you can win a BSB and WSB title, then knock him. You might as well call Toseland a worthless champion as well. As i said about Bayliss, I think it's more to do with the bike than anything, and injury has not helped the cause.

I do agree tho, Xaus has raised his game, but has not been consitant enough.

Lets hope he has 2 geat last races this year. Of all the riders I have met (Chelsea and WDW) is was the best, sat down on the last Saturday night and had a chat and beer with me and Shazz, he remembered meeting me several times at open days, nec... He did ask joking if i was his stalker, i asked for a paddock pass and we'll see!
