[RIPPERTON]

Rmbr what I said about Casey quiting the last half of last year to get surgery and start the healing process ?
Maybe he should have.

That's shit news. Not really a Stoner fan, but I did appreciate his ability to ride the Ducati to an ability below none and to hear that he's only able to do a few laps, whilst the quickest, but only a few is bad news for him..

I bet Ducati is sweating hard now, thinking about how they're going to get more assistance to Hayden/Gibernau.. :D

[dazzler]

i'm kinda half sitting on the fence half believing it,

when's the next test happening and wheres it at???

if he pulls up short without clocking up the fastest times or at least in the top four,
i'll say he's for real

but...... if he hits the top times i will be screaming "bullshit" from the top of my lungs,

A Troy Bayliss revival, just like he one the last race of the season a few years back...

I don't believe it to be ah oax but do strongly suspect that the real meaning of the comments have been somewhat 'lost in translation' and would not judge their veracity unless I could see a video of the question being asked (thus judge by tone and body language).

IMO, CS was likely asked a question as to 'how is the wrist' and responded by saying 'it still hurts and is causing me grief, not good really and I expected more by this stage, may as well sit out the year because I cant compete with it in this condition'. On other words, answered with frustration as we often do when we ourselves will respond with a similar comment to 'dont know why I bother sometimes'.

Broken wrists are bad news, we all know scaphoid doesn't get great blood flow at best of times so doesn't heal, but that doesn't mean all his talent suddenly disappears :lmao: it just hurts afterwards...pure speculation however you'd know also riding seems to make everything disappear, girlfriends and wives :D but all bad thoughts of work, little things that'd niggle you normally you can chuckle at and wait for karma to take it's revenge, pain you've felt for weeks suddenly disappears and you're able to ride. You might pay for it the next day but hell, he's puttin in good times and well worth a bet on for the season....look at the pain Doohan rode through. The thought of those legs makes my skin crawl poor bugger :(

Go Casey! And if not, anyone but Rossi. Or Pedrosa for that matter.
Mmmm, don't really like Hopkins chances either, bloody traitor :lmao:
