... and subsided again only to rise again 15yrs on as the Fireblade, R1 etc. Bike fashion changes and I'm sad to see that CBR600RR disappear, but who's to say something similar won't appear again in 10yrs or so? (It might even have a Flux Capacitor by then ;) )

He would finish in the top 5, without a doubt. I guess the risk is putting someone that quick with nothing to lose out in the field of people who are racing for a championship

The internet is fill of rumours. Who knows what to believe. I have heard he wanted to race in Argentina and a more general comment where he has no interest in racing. Seems you can find which ever answer your looking for which is confusing ...

I don't get this constant interest in whether he will ever ride.race again.....I get the "underdog" angle....the guy who comes back and blows the doors (sic) off every other bike/rider on the track...but until he actually does anything it's nothing more than idle BS....and imagine ...

I heard different. I heard Ducati wouldn't let Stoner stand in for Petrucci as they were worried Casey would beat Dovi and Iannone who would be GP16 mounted and Casey would be on the older GP15 of Petrucci's. Ducati weren't prepared to see the GP16 being beaten by the GP15 which is understandable ...

Put head phones in or on your ears, you don't need to be plugged in, blank close to people who want to try and speak to you, better still stick a paper bag over your head with Feck off written across the front ha ha ha ha ha

... karts. But he enjoyed what he did he was out for around 35mins in total which is pretty decent. I couldn't believe it when I heard that the guys who turned up were from an IT company and the company paid for 50 people every month for 12 months which set the company back well over £3K per month!! ...

... "us and them" approach we're being force fed, as if the entire Muslim population is out to get us and that it's the recent immigrants who are causing all of the attacks. I like Channel 4 news as it's a lot more balanced than the watered down crap BBC and ITV dish out.

People who see you eating or on your phone while on your break and yet they insist on talking to you even if you make it pretty clear you need a rest from everything and de stress...what is wrong with some people if I see them ...

Most people who lane drift are usually on their mobile phone

On the driving theme, others who cannot control their car in terms of actually staying in their lane, either in a straight line or going around corners, I am sick of these twats making me avoid them because they cross into my lane on bends, ...

... explosives and guns and ammunition , they don't make these things themselves , we must therefore conclude that they are being supplied by people who do make these things , lets not demonise the muslim faith but rather lets demonise the industrialists and politicians who allow radicals of all ...

... sickos, we know these twats and we have taught them everything they need to know about it! Think I've mentioned about my partners friend at school who got arrested for plotting a terrorist attack and for having the ingredients to do it...my partner said he was alright at school nice fella everyone ...

I couldn't agree more...I have no problem if someone who is riding is doing 60 in a 60 but when they are doing less, or even worse they do 50 then rise to 60 then back to 50 but for no real reason that pisses me off and I generally either overtake ...

Pricks who pull over to the left hand lane next to the exit from a slip road. I was joining a main road when this muppet in the right hand lane decides to move over to the left, in the same spot I was in having just left the ...

My experience with IAM is mixed.. some people ride faster than I feel safe sometimes (and I don't hang about) and there's others who stick to every single speed limit and I just want to go home after 5 minutes. There's a lot of people who believe they are better than anyone else and the ...

I imagine they would go for Rins or possibly Lowes from moto2 , Iannone won't be leaving Ducati imo and I don't think that Vinales would be easy to lure away from Suzuki , Bradley has just signed for KTM so cant see that happening either

Vinales is their plan B and probably Iannone for plan C. After that I imagine they would look at Bradley Smith or a Moto2 rider

Vinales or one of the Ducati riders would be my guess.

That's true in most walks of life though.
