"Hey y'all...in racin' there's teams and stuff...and I mean...uhhh...it wouldn't sit right with me iffin' I wasn't there to meet my ob-lig-a-gations and stuff..."

Don't get me wrong...I love the south and Nicky is a great thing for Americans in MotoGP...but every time he opens his mouth I think to myself...seriously? This is what is representing us to the world of Moto GP? And I don't care what you say...people who wear ball caps like that look like total asses. You can be comfortable without coming across as a total make the beast with two backstard.

All that being said, back on topic, it is pretty much all but official that the Kid is going to Italy. Speculation at this point is moot. Lets turn our focus to something interesting like what helmet designs Rossi will have next year for his 9th world championship...

IMO:
The MotoGP guys are just a group of folks that happen to be really good at doing something we like to watch.
They don't necessarily hold up any better or worse to close scrutiny than any other group.
Expecting them to be role models or international ambassadors is asking a bit much, as the talent that got them to where they are isn't in that area.
I doubt that Mother Teresa would have been very good at riding a MotoGP bike........

The Dalai Lama, on the other hand, could probably levitate that Honda around corners Grin Hell...he'd probably beat Melandri these days.

He's a good rider...

and a really hard worker.

I think with a real ream behind him he'll do well on the Duc.

All that doesn't change the fact that his hat makes him look dumber than Gomer Pyle. Wink

well i thin kthe thing that does it is he has the hat and also the southern accent which honestly if you are not from the south is the stereotypical hick accent, and the only exposure most people have to that is the scene from "deliverance" so that is not the best thing.

also yes he is a motorcycle rider, and syaing they are not role models is true, NO SPORTS OR ENTERTAINMENT star should ever be a role model or represent a country or such, but unfortunately that is not true, children look up to sports stars bc they can do that sport well, sad but true.

 afterall what do you call olympians?  they may "represent" the country but they are there bc they are the best at what they do and they are held to some sort of role model status and should not be bc they are again just doing a skill that they were born with better than anyone else, that doesn't make them an ambassidor or better than anyone.

motogp riders are such an exclusive club that they are under scrutiny all the time as they should be afterall if you get paid that much to essentially do something that most people do for fun, they are going to be held to that higher standard of acting and looking the part.

Is this a third bike or is West out?

Bartholemy didn't mention him.
