too bad they don't have the chassis and telemetry options to deal with that Alstaire does. Spies and Schwantz and Blake Young can all agree on that one...


there was a point earlier this decade where the only suzuki factory team that was doing anything notable with the gixxer was american yosh. all the other factory teams, bsb/worldbsk/etc, were calling yosh to get some direction.

Bastards! They couldn't even figure that out earlier so that Dorna could arrange to have Moto2 and the 125s at Laguna? Idjits.

Sounds like a bunch of MBAs running the show there...they all know the same play: cut investment in people & products, make the product crappier but try to sell it for the same price, make the numbers look good for a quarter, get your bonus, then get out. Except DMG's doin' it wrong.

They fired a bunch of people...I guess you could call that half-right. Then again, they probably fired the wrong half.
