You couldn't catch her if you wanted to.

funniest part:
"It felt really small,” said Myers, “
but everything, all the bars and levers and pegs were exactly where I wanted it

Maybe Capi's shirt should read
"I got
outgrown
by a 16 year old girl."

Neat stuff for Elena for sure.
That's an opportunity of a life time. Hope she has fun and makes them all proud. [moto]

Really great for Elena and another way to market herself for bigger gigs in the future. Once in a lifetime break for her.
She's growing up to be quite a cutie pie. If she embraces her looks and natural skill, she'll have a lot of opportunities as she gets older. Its great for endorsements and great for the sport in general.
Hopefully they give her at least 10 laps so she can throw down something decent. Hell, toss her on the Honda and she might give Pedro a run to the first corner.

It's a good marketing tactic as well for Suzuki, since they're not performing competitively at the GP level, but this obviously has made people take notice of the brand.

She could be what Danica Patrick wants to be but on 2 wheels!

I've been reading some of the comments on some of the moto websites and DAMN, there are some
angry
dudes out there on the interwebz (and some seriously perverted ones). People are all in a huff, saying that the only reason she is getting to ride the zuke is for PR purposes and cuz she's a girl. Well, duh! After the season is finished, journalists get to ride the bikes, big contributors, movie stars, etc. So do up-n-coming 16 y/o girl racers. Deal with it.
