Rossi tests Nascar @ Charlotte

Yeah... I think Spies is full of shit...

 

He mentioned tires, but said that tires are just one factor. He discussed how different the prototypes are from any production-based bike, and how steep the learning curve is for someone coming from production-based machines.

 

I like how ex bike racers go car racing, but ex car racers never go bike racing.....

 

Bike racing skills can transfer to cars much easier. The feel you develop on a bike really helps in a car. Car racing doesn't develop you in the same way. Not that is is easier, it just doesn't need the same level of feel.

 

Depends on how hard the WERA expert tried to ride it but with the Deathstones and the carbon/ carbon brakes I could see the bike coming back in a bunch of boxes.

 

It is only a one way road.

This guys did pretty good you could say.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Surtees

 

How many MotoGP prototypes have you ridden?

 

Just as many as you have.

So your opinion on Mr. Spies' statement is absolutely worthless, then. Thanks for clarifying :up:

 

Test? I'd call it more of a publicity ride. But that's okay.

 

How about Josh Hayes, who has had some close battles (which he normally won) with Young?

First race weekend on an M1: 0.7s off the other Tech3 bike (Cal Crutchlow)

My opinion on his statement has as much value as yours does...

I have attended quite a few MotoGp races and witnessed WERA experts lapping within 10-11 seconds of MotoGp times on spec 125's. I'm thinking those same kids would be much closer on a MotoGp bike...

The Ideology that you are some sort of super human to successfully make laps on a prototype bike is retarded.

I agree with Mr. Turner. A good rider is a good rider. An elite rider is just better, faster and more focused. To say a second year expert couldn't ride anything that the elite riders race is incorrect, to say the least. And I am a Spies fan.

 

Really? Since I didn't offer my opinion, I wonder how you could possibly know what it is.

 

Hell I cant even ride one! I think thats what he meant to say.

 

I think he must have been speaking of Mr. Yore, not you.

 

And Crutchlow is a ma fugga.

 

Doesn't matter what your opinion is, it's just as worthless as mine.
