After John injured his wrist a couple of weeks ago during an off road crash, there are strong rumours he isnt riding the TT this year :-( Can anyone confirm or deny ? will be sad if he doesnt make it
Bloody hope not. Really want to see him smash the Dunlop record. Seeing as how MD has come out this morning and said how he is going to get 6 from 6 this year I was looking forward to McPint wiping the smile off his face. I respect that MD has immense talent but I don't like his personality one single bit. None of the other riders demand money to race yet he does and has a habit of throwing his toys out of the pram a lot.
He confirmed his entry for NW200 so cant see why he would miss TT. The injury has a 6-8 week healing time so should give him plenty of time and hes got the best surgeons in the country fiddling at him. Doubt he would be allowed to miss it nevermind want to
I also want him to race for a number of reason, not least because he is a legend in the making and he is English MD could well either win every race or kill himself trying, neither option suits me?
I just wish out of the two Dunlop bothers William was the better rider because he's natured more like his father and uncle unlike Michael who is just an arrogant fanny full of his own importance! It brings great me pleasure to watching riders like him getting well and truly humped! Lorenzo is another one I like seeing lose in a dramatic fashion!
Could not agree with you more there dude. Looking forward to seeing Lorenzo get more "schooling" from Marquez this weekend hehe
In my ideal world, Lorenzo will feck up again with the pressure of needing a win and end up back in the pits sulking and throwing his helmet at his mechanic whilst nursing his bruises and scuffed leathers, and Rossi gives Marquez the finger and shows him he is still the man really... Ooh the crowd went wild Yeah i know MM is on the Repsol, but jeez, Rossi is still Rossi !!
Yes I know Rossi is still Rossi and I do enjoy seeing him do so well but I admire MM style he clearly has the balls to do things with the bike that nobody has attempted since Casey Stoner and say what you like about Stoner I know he was devoid of personality but god damn the boy could ride. That overtake round the outside of Lorenzo at Laguna Seca took balls. Wonder what colour Dani's bridesmaid dress will be this year
Totally agree with soleth a break only takes 6 weeks a couple more weeks but his wrist will ache round that 37. 3/4 miles
For sure. I broke my thumb on the 8th feb and it still wrecks after a big work out. Im back on a bike in a weeks time but wont lie to being nervous for race fitness for the week after that!!
It's all Banter between them all,John McGuinness himself said MD was one of the first to ring him and wish him well when he broke his wrist and hoped he would be better in time to race the IOM.As for demanding money Im affraid they all do that, some more than others but all never the less.
I think in MD's mind he needs JM there to make any wins he has credible! Because if MD has wins in the I.O.M it'll be because JM wasn't there competing with him! That's what most people will think if that actually happens! If that's make sense.
I think the secret of MM and Rossi as you could see in Qatar is they love racing motorbikes passionately and there wins are a result of that! Where as with Lorenzo it all ego and has a pole up his arse because he's got to be the best
and a little more room for error on track.... anyone would be mad to start a TT unless they were 100% physically able to get round that course on top of their game....
Hutchy did not too bad a couple of years ago not fully fit on the Swan Yam. No way McG will miss it. Said as much at the NW200 launch last week. So unless he has had a set back. Have to admit I never really liked Mickey D a couple of years ago, but have thought he has matured as a rider if not as a person. Was it the NW200 and the TT a couple of years ago he nearly took Guy out on both. Was fast but dangerous then. Now I think he is just so confident in his own abilities, yet has calmed down in some of his manoeveres. I kind of wish Guy was as eager and committed to winning a TT as Mickey D is.
