The boy was born to fade.

MotoGP has just developed past his skill set. He is a superbike, no traction control type rider. He hasn't been able to adapt like Hayden to the electronics. He is a dinosaur. Tribute really to his skill that he has hung on this long...Toseland couldnt hold a candle. Spies makes him look mildly retarded.

Its a shame ducati fucked him over. I think he'd have been much better in xerox colors

I still think james is gonna have a good bounce back year now that he's on a conventional bike in a lower pressure situation

Mostly likely correct Dave. JT isnt the tool everyone made him out to be in GP, former WSBK champ, just out of his element...

You've got to be kidding me? MotoGP has-beens like Biaggi and Haga kicked ass in WSBK and Vale won't cut the mustard?

Well, he'd be on far more equal equipment than he's been in a long time.

I never said he couldnt do it. Never. I said he wouldnt wanna do it.

First it would be like me going club racing in the novice yellow plate 600 class. Well below my times but you still have to enter turn one with 43 less skilled riders. Could be painful and expensive.

second he knows full well how famous he became racing to win, having every possible advantage pulling for him. Doesnt he think he might lose some of his legend, some of his shine?
