I want my stories back

I don't know. I don't mind James "you-know" Hayden so much, however the other guy (whose name escapes me) is dull in tone, but seems only concerned with the way he sounds. He has very limited vocabulary and repeats phrases all the time. "On a flyer" "On the drift". He loves odd terms like these and uses them ALL the time, which bores and annoys me. I'd rather they drafted in Keith Huewen if Moody and Ryder aren't available.

No sign of the 125 or 250 races and I can't find the email address of the woman who overseas MotoGP coverage to complain.

Yep..theres ya problem.

But serious he was gonna retire, did well.....so changed his mind.

He said he was gonna run a Yamaha AMA but didn't.

FINAlly saw the race, was really good! Nightmare with the changing of the wheels etc really upset the running orders and we ended up with a bit of a formula 1 procession at the end. But what I really enjoyed was Colin Edwards' talk through of the circuit, absolutely amazing gave me a real insight into the level of difficulty and control needed. Just unbelievable!

At the end of last year (or whenever it was announced that Eurosport was losing the coverage) Toby and Julian were lining up other stuff ('cos they still have bills to pay). For rounds that they can't do, somebody else fills in for them. Randy just decided "that's it then"!
