Why do people constantly say Hayes' name in something like this? You may as well say your own name as a possibility too.
I would go out on a limb and say that was for entertainment purposes only. But, yes, he did post here.
I would go out on a limb and say the majority of the posts in this thread are for entertainment purposes. Except for Dave K who is apparently using some kind of Melandri voodoo doll.
Average fan doesn’t matter at this point. What matters is legitimacy within the industry. If MA becomes like BSB, with world level riders flowing in and out depending on results and available world level rides, the entire series becomes more legitimate in the eyes of the factories, then the sponsors, then the fans.
Hmmm so you are saying sponsors will get involved, spending money to advertise whatever it is they sell (since that is the point of their sponsorship) with no one there to see it? “ It’s a bold move Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.”
No. A guy like Melandri will attract a broader base, outside of the “average” American fan. That will appeal to sponsors, and so on. Right now, all we have is amateur racers and track day guys. In Europe, EVERYBODY loves motorcycle racing. Get those fuckers involved and MotoAmerica will EXPLODE.
Watch the interview with him from Sonoma and tell me he does not look good and wants to race. Just you tube search it
Clearly this was supposed to be in the Joey thread. I see this from time to time. Is it user error or a software glitch?
I have to admit that I had been watching a ton more BSB than the American series prior to Elias coming along. As well as the resurgence of Herrin this season. I'm just as guilty as anyone of wanting to see interesting storylines play out. Melandri would certainly add to that for me. Although Spies back at Yosh would give me a star spangled boner.
