Hayden finally open to racing WSBK?

I have no idea what Yamaha did or did not know.....

I should have been more specific with my wording

 

No, they're not stupid, but they're human, and they're susceptible to the same logical fallacies as anyone.

Americans on the world stage is a small sample size, and the variables affecting the rider's actual performance are immeasurable, but you can't expect a race team owner/manager to not look at that data point. Hopefully they don't write off the whole country, but it surely doesn't help.

 

Joe Roberts will be the "next Spies", just you all watch:up:

 

While ya'll are going in circles, I'm going to chat with Jonathan Rea tonight, and Tom Sykes in the morning.

Any questions?

I don't want to curse the kid but JB Beach is another one to watch.

There are at least half a dozen that with a little work and a lot of luck could break on to the world stage and run well. Shoot, Bonsey could still do well with some cash and support.

 

Yes, how do they feel about each other in the same team

Also, I'd be interested in knowing what Rea thinks about the Honda vs Kawi

 

This^^ and also since the title is just about wrapped up, and he is in the Factory Green garage, what are his thoughts on what it would take for him to leave one of the best packages in WSBK and move to GP.

 

Both already jotted down. Thanks!

You could ask Sykes what was the biggest factor that allowed him to finish races after a strong first half and win the championship after a couple of years of fading back regularly.

 

You just did......you spelled his name wrong

 

I've kinda got that under a tire management question, but will work more in. :up:

for Sykes: Does he think he could have fought with Rea early this season had the rules stayed the same?

for Rea: Any regrets for not leaving Ten Kate / Honda sooner?

 

For both: Are they aware of any young American riders who have impressed them personally and might have a good shot at the world level? With blank stares perhaps mention PJ and Cam

 

Ask Sykes whether he thinks Rea has a tiny pee pee.

 

In already.

Will do.

No.

Rea is usually so far out ahead that everything about him looks tiny from Sykes' perspective.

 

If half the field goes to a different class it doesn't make the mid-pack rider great because he's winning races suddenly.

 

This.. I'd like to hear their perspective on them and also the Lowes' boys.

I thought that due to the way the Kawi put down the power more than a management thing. I thought they sorted the electronics to stop killing tire.
