If she 'really' said what was on her mind without all the innuendo it would be great.

Name names...enough with all the code...

otherwise...

Mary needs to stay home and mind the garden. The Ben is old enough to have his own professional manager and make his own decisions without Mom popping off. Funny, there was an eerie silence from her BS when The Ben raced for the Italian Yammyhammer team in the WSBK campaign of 2009 compared to her AMA days with the Yosh team. Always wondered if the Italians told her to STFU! laughingdp I know I would of... Grin

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Definitely can see why he was upset before now... not sure if we'll get the whole story ever as burning bridges with Yamaha for Ben would probably be a bad move overall.

But it's just been killer recently seeing him finally perform at podium levels and then to see the bike fail over and over.  I cant really remember the last time I saw a factory prototype let go so many time in a row during the same season.

Ok, so we've seen 9 races so far? Of those he has had at least 4 issues equipment related, 3 directly related to the bike and one to tires. Why is it that he was struggling up to Laguna to get a decent setup? That bike has been bullet proof for 3 other riders!!

he hasn't had setup problems.  he's had shit breaking problems.

i mean, how many times has he crashed in a race of his own accord this year?  i can think of 1.

Mary:

Lin Jarvis and I spoke today. He was not able to be here at Indy. We shared our total disappointment and shock at the incredible and gut -wrenching year we have had to date. He was very sorry for Ben's crashes and the race mishap. I really wish people would stop saying ugly things. He has a family and he is respected in the race world for his years in his post.

In other words, it wasn't Jarvis, so leave him the make the beast with two backs alone.

That is one sad story, a talent like that being punted around, what a joke. I truly feel for the bloke. Yamaha need a kick in the jewels.
