What's on the other side of the Michelin shirt -- "You won't have Bibendum to kick around anymore."
Maybe they just need to get tanned, rested and ready. |

Yellow = WC's, White = Race winners. I think...

Cool, thx JR.
When you look at the stats, they had a hell of a history. The collapse was relatively sudden. |

spectacular opening photo, Mr. Jim Race.
we can now add 'Arbiter of Good Taste' to
your chestful of medals, ribbons and commendations.
i feel like such a sissy being mournful about
the last race of the season. |

It's been a good season.
It may be ungrateful to say, but next year should be even better with the added jockeying for contracts. |

When popmonkey and I were recording the MotoGPod foundation last night, we talked about how Valencia often gets slagged not only because championships are often decided prior, but also because it's a bit of a let-down once it's all over. The "That's it? Waaaahhh.." kind of thing.
People are funny that way, myself inclusive.

it would only be ungrateful if you had whined non-stop
during the course of the current season ... which you did not.

thank you.
i will have it printed on a bath towel and
weep into it during the off-season. |

If hating me is wrong, you don't want to be right.
Occurs to me that if Edwards manages to get by Dovizioso for 5th in the standings, HRC will have had pretty much the worst season since they went to 800s. |
