true, hes also a very fast not consistant dickhead. i know the engine failure wasnt his fault, but i dont think i can take him seriously until he calms down a bit and starts finishing races

I'm guessing you mean from the post race comments? I had to rewind my DVR to make sure what I heard was actually what he said.

I think Rea could be real good in the future. I just think he is far too inconsistant. How many times last year did he burn into corners or miss braking points, and screw himself out of positions.

He's fast but his own worst enemy. He reminds me of Haga ten years ago. There's so much talent in this field there's no reason to go totally nuts out in the first few races. Haga's just getting started.

Look at the top 8 in the first two rounds....fast, smooth, in control. Nobody's losing their cool. Give it two more rounds and you'll see what's on the table...just one guy's opinion....

That Ape was fast. So was the GSXR but Biaggi was on a mission.

That Aprilia has ponies down the straight and can carve a much tighter line it seems than anything else out there.
Haslam has big respect for pushing that GSXR to the limit both races and not making huge mistakes.

Yeah I think the Aprilia was a good 5kmh faster than the Suzuki on the front stretch.

damn skippy. I cant wait till camier gets fully sorted on the thing so we can see both prillers on the podium can you imagine if fim lets them use the gear driven cam kit?

The Aprilia does look to be the package to beat. I would wager the Ducs will get a smaller restrictor probably next year, cause the FIM moves slow. But the rest of them better hope they can suck it up or that Biaggi crashes alot...
