  4. I know looks a bit suspect, lol

  5. Love the way Ray and Suzuki are mixing it up, the boys got serious talent......questionable hair, but talent :punch:

  6. And sensible way beyond his years
     
  7. I like Rays riding style. Very smooth and fluid. Hangs right off. Seems to be a good guy too. Plus he's on a gixxer. Always good to see a gixxer doing well. Get him on the Suzuki MotoGP bike. The kids got talent and used his head on the wet 2nd race. Plus I used to have a barnet like that in my scooter days.

  8. Was an exciting days racing, we get it live here in NZ (Sunday only) but I usually record it and watch as soon as possible after as it starts around Midnight and finishes at 5 or 6am.
     
  9. Ray really has that something, and IMHO always has. Makes you feel old though: I can remember him being about 3’ tall, with milky bar kid glasses, and winning in 125’s.

    After yesterday’s performance (no spoilers) in really tough conditions, I can see him being a real contender this year as his temperament and thoughtfulness is clearly there.

  10. Is he too big for MotoGP though?
     
  11. Size is relative, I have stood beside Bradley on 2 occasions and he looks like a 12 year old by comparison. Andy
     
  12. Look at how Baz went...IMHO it would be a massive mistake for him, if he wants to win stuff. If he wants to ride around, mid or tail end pack, on a bike then FairPlay. Worth noting he did OK, bit not grate, in the CEV M3 ranks.

    Now, WSBK, different kettle of fish....Sykes could be in trouble come renewal ;)
     
  13. He’s incredibly mature for his age.

    Would have had the 1st race in the bag but made 1 mistake running wide at paddock hill, considering the pressure he was under from shakey for 20 or so laps the boy did good :upyeah:

    The Suzuki stock is looking like a good package for once
     
  14. Dont want to give too much away...but his interview too shower real class. Most of the paddock, especially Crutchlow ;) could do with some lessons. Honest, humble, positive.

  16. Vid and a couple of phots from the day. It's not often we get a chance to get to watch the races so we managed to get a good deal on a space in a box which was pretty awesome and well worth the cash especially when it rained towards the end of the day.

  19. I honesttly dont mind Cals gruffiness. I think he's quite dry. He amuses me. However I am easily pleased and can find humour in just about anything.

    I hope Bradley can sustain a challenge as frankly Shakey deserves one. He showed maturity and after every race wins more fans. But I also want Jake to do well. Trouble with BSB is that I want all of them to do well. Except any Aussies of course. I'd like them to fall on their arses. :)
     
  20. Shame O’Connell has gelled with that Gixer then ;)
