Age old question finally answered
Well at Mondello yesterday, I watched in awe as a question that philosophers have been arguing over for years was finally answered.
The Aprillia 125/250s came out on their warm up lap - and as they did, the heavens opened and it started to absolutely PELT rain. All the riders were on slicks....so instead of driving down to the grid, they all went back into pitlane instead. This proves for once and for all that bikers DO INDEED have the sense to come in out of the rain

Actually only about 70% of 'em went back down the pitlane.

And theres me thinking bike racers had grown some common sense. Got all the respect in the world for them though. Wouldn't do that for quids.

I love them too - well most of them - apart from the one that decided to shove a female marshal on Sunday. Something I think he has been given cause to regret since I'm glad to say - the organisers were NOT amused. Neither were the rest of us - but he'd made himself scarce by the time we got in from post!
But in general I love them - which is why it's fun to extract the urine occasionally!

Hmmm......but if it had been a 600 race they probably wouldn't even have been able to find their way back down the pit lane!
 Disclaimer: I am allowed to make disparaging remarks about 600 riders - I am one! (but only on the road- I'm not THAT much of a hooligan!) |
