From the comments section:

"Maybe they can work a rider's code: a tap on the shoulder for 'well done', a smack over the helmet for 'wake up, dozy', frantic pointing behind for 'Simoncelli is coming, abandon ship!' etc."

I can't really see anything wrong with making everybody get together before or after a race session and letting them hash out their differences without the press ready to spill it to the public.

Pretty much everybody is more sensible when they're not on TV...

I vote for Colin as group mediator.  He'd bring a bottle of whiskey (or two) and some boxing gloves and just get all the schlock between the riders worked out.

That comments about Super Sic had me crackin' up too.   laughingdp
