Is Blake Young trying to open a salvage yard?

Attack Performance had the Attack Performance Semi at Indy

 

Rapp had to take a job with a commercial airline as a pilot so he can make a living. Blake never rode a "true" superbike in the ama either. Steep learning curve. And as far as the electronics on the bike, theyre the best you can buy from motec and Richard knows that system as well as anyone.

 

The semi was on lease to a now disolved ama team.

 

What they transport the bike with doesn't matter. Who sees that? A couple hundred people with back gate passes? That motorcycle is a legitimate CRT platform, still developing, and in no way does it cheapen the sport.

 

I feel that entrants in MotoGP should be held to an extremely high standard. Look what BE has done with F1. If the sport is to be taken seriously, and attain the highest level of respect, then each team should also be held to the highest standards.

 

I think from a financial standpoint they need to find another rider. Not talkin shit on Blake but he is making that a very expensive program to run.

 

It's not the CRT wildcard bikes that ruin the sport, it's ignorant comments like the one you posted that do.

 

A couple of teams pretty much go bankrupt every year. Kimi Raikkonen was complaining at the last round about not getting paid on time. But yeah, they all have shiny trucks.

 

It is racing, shit happens.

 

Armchair quarterbacks who cant even win a club championship themselves should shut the fuck up.

 

...thanks for the support. Richard has worked tirelessly at making this CRT bike competitive. That the tires of his rig were lacking Armorall misses the point of a CRT class or the efforts made by those teams themselves.

 

Ding Ding Ding.

 

Their pit looked every bit as professional as the others...

 

Ok, I'll bite, how are they not held to the same high standard?

 

This response is a flawed argument. Many many successful people in professional sports never played said sport (pick one) at a professional level.

 

How in the world are these related?

 

I have no idea. I'm not privy to what Dorna specs for transportation, hospitality, pits, etc. But, I did see a photo of the Attack bike leaving a recent US round in the back of a pickup truck. I don't want to take anything away from Attack, because I'm sure they've worked very hard to get where they are. But, you wouldn't see that in F1 now would you? F1 drivers can make upwards of $40mm per year. Wouldn't you like to see MotoGP riders attain that kind of prestige? I sure would.

 

Might as well shut down the entire forum... The 6 people in the country with current club championships can just do a group text message to discuss racing without the rest of us bothering them with our opinions.

 

Does anybody think the lack of a spec tire would have helped here? My theory is it would have made it cheaper to get ahold of the tire they would be using, thus they could do more testing and refine their electronics.
