Definitely not crass mate

Shows the Super Sic pic to be legit and compared with other riders.

Thanks to all the people that complained to the BBC, they admitted that it was a mistake NOT to have mentioned it in the 6 o'clock sports news last Sunday.

I sholud bleedy think so.

Feeble excuse of having run out of time to include it, so Man U getting thrashed deserved getting preference.

So a football headline is more important than a human being losing his life.

Thats whats wrong with TV

Awesome idea. When my mate Teejey died, we all rocked up to the funeral on our motorbikes and gave it a handful of throttle as we arrived. Everyone loved it.

I was expecting the Man U result ahead of MotoGP - football gets millions more viewers, despite being cr@p - but not being mentioned at all was unacceptable. My slightly cynical view at the time was that somebody in a position to make the decisions decided that, despite only being watched in the UK by 4 people, Dan Weldon was British and therefore his death was newsworthy. Simoncelli was Italian and therefore, somehow less important.

Still angry. Can you tell?
