XT Alan Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hi, Kenny Roberts showed his class once again in final qualifying for the German GP. It is possible that he is the only rider out there who could actually go head to head with Rossi. I know the Americans like him, but I cannot see what all the fuss is about re: Nicky Hayden. Another interesting point, I think: These races are finally proving how much better Moto GP riders are compared to WSB. Only Xaus seems to have any real natural speed and he's a crasher. Bayliss is too ragged. Hodgson is just average. Edwards is being outclassed. All this begs the question: Just how good was Foggy really? In my opinion he just happened to be better than Corser and Chili, but any of the top 10 GP riders of any given period would have demolished him. Best Brits of the modern era? Hailwood and Sheene.

Moderator YamaHead Posted July 17, 2004 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2004 He was a good rider......but he could only win on a Duc :roll: The '97 WSB season was a memorable one........where he & Kocinski mixed it up for the title that year. 8) He couldn't do sh*t with the RC45(clearly faster) in '96.....so he goes back to the Duc in '97 & loses the title to very same bike :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted July 17, 2004 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2004 I think it's gonna come right down to the wire between these two.......

XT Alan Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Don't count out Biaggi. I have a feeling that this could be his year and the tracks which are coming up suit his silky smooth riding style. Whatever happens, this is the best GP season for quite a while. Rossi's bike looked incredibly unstable today and the Honda's still have this front wheel chatter problem, so there will be a few offs, which helps make things even more unpredictable.

XT Alan Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Biaggi was supreme today. He was perfection. Like I've always said he is a great rider and is the only one who can live with Rossi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
