Crazy Joe is back!!!

Not trying to be too much of a post whore, but an Mv kicked my ass this morning so I am taking a break to catch up.

Just saw where AI was 3rd overall and cannot wait for WSBK. A lot of people forgot that he was like one of the only dudes to win on the shitty fast Ducati not named Stoner.

Also forgot that he was one of a few to give the beans to MM in his primetime.

Does anyone know if hes still any way affiliated with Rossi camp? I don't know if the trouble got him booted or what....

 

le sigh

 

You dont like AI? Or you don't like that he's back?

 

I think it's more like he's irrelevant until he proves he isn't.

 

He's an insufferable douchebag who is only fast at contract time. Maybe he's changed

 

I might not be a fan but I hope he goes well next season. More challengers will bring in more talent and more money to the series.

 

Neither, just a repost. I guess you get a pass since it's hidden in the Rea/Raz thread

 

Racing needs characters. He may be an idiot, but he's an entertaining idiot.

 

No, no he’s not but he was a talented douche lord 4 years back. Let’s hope some of the talent remains while the douche bagness has gone away.

 

I didn't realized he fucked your girl! How many times did yall hang out?

Would you say the same if he won on a Suckzuki?

 

Yea but that was the first day anyways.

 

No, if that happened, he would pay for the Hotel room and their dinner.

 

Nope....it's a silly season thing...this is JohnnyB territory

 

Wouldn’t that make it a Cuckzuki?

 

He wasn't the worst at Suzuki by far.

Still an insufferable douchebag.

 

The dude can pull some tail. 4 years off and he's .2 sec off JR65, both on new bikes? Seems legit to me. You old fucks just want boring riders. You'd all be happy if Pedrobot was signed by HRC for a 4 year contract. Yawn.

 

I don't recall him being associated with VR

60+ laps, thats putting in some work!

 

I was a big fan when he was in moto2 - less so in motogp; but I think he will be a good addition to WSBK, and has the speed to be a the front mixing it up. Honestly it will be very interesting to see the impact of all the Ducatis (Ianonne, Lowes, Bulega, Petrucci, Rinaldi, Bautista - not exactly a list of slow guys). Toprak on the BMW is a big question mark - the BMW, not Toprak. He is arguably the fastest guy out there. But will be be as good as he was on the Yamaha? And will Rea be as good as Toprak was on the Yamaha? I can't wait to find out.
