Bang on. Having Geoff in the championship is far better for the riders than it is for the spectators.

He went out of his way last year to help me learn Cadwell, and lots of lines on other circuits, and having him so far ahead really does help drag you along. By the end of last season I was carrying cornerspeeds I never dreamt possible at the beginning, and had dropped my Cadwell lap time by 10 secs. Most of that came by hanging on to the coat tails of Clint, Mike, Phil, Ian, etc, and from watching GS.

If he wants to stay and hit us with a big stick for another year then fair enough. I'd much rather have someone right at the front to try catching than be in his situation and be constantly fending off attacks.

the only time Andy #36 came close was his only ride on the Tango at Brands, same placings as Dom got at Cadwell.
Made me wish we had started the season off with tango...

Note for 2006, must try harder

Surely its not much fun having that much in reserve and winning week in, week out..?

watch this space

As for hanging up your Arai or self belief being a factor to give up trying.....trust me, the guys from mid pack down will NEVER win a race, we an't all be winners, so why do they do it? All the right reasons like adreniline, fun, mates, hobby, beat the guys racing around them etc. You don't think the guys at the back of the MotoGP grid REALLY think they have a chance of beating Rossi? No. They simply don't have the skill or the bike. Sure have goals, but don't confuse them with deluded dreams. IMHO

That's exactly how I see things

Thanks for writing that down for me, I couldn't have done it so well

I think Andy and Dom have the best chance to challenge for the top spot.....

Thats if they start on the right bike at race 1....
