Tom Sykes - SV650.org

Is it me or is Tom Sykes coming out of this whole affair as a whinging git ? Get yourself to Qatar and collect your teddy you threw out of the pram.

I, for one, am totally against team orders but I understand a team would want a rider to do their 'bit' to help, but it does spoil the race. Guintoli got limited help from Melandri, why should Sykes get a 2nd WSBK championship needing help from Baz, who has spent all season slagging off !!!!

Baz made a genuine mistake back at Sepang, get over it, grow up and realise you didn't win a second title cos you couldn't beat the Aprilia's for the last few races.

Now his pathetic whining on twitter - grow up !

I've not seen what he's said on twitter since yesterdays race, but what I can say is I agree that if he'd not spent the whole season fighting with his team mate then maybe his team mate might have helped him out a bit more.

Even if Baz had let him through in the 1st race in Qatar he'd still have lost the championship by one point.

More over I'm just happy that Guinters won the title, he always comes across as a decent guy.

We'll just have to see what happens next year when Tom has that Northern Irish fella racing in his team, he may suddenly realise that he's not the number one rider anymore.

Must admit i was cheering on Guintoli, that french / midlanders accent is an absolute belter.
