"And with all that stuff going on, MotoConcepts team slapped some of James’ number 7 backgrounds on a spare bike. That had, for some reason, everyone talking. How did you take that?"
"For me, I’ve been in racing a long time, be it four or two wheels, and there’s always an ass in the pit area, and that happens to be ours. It kind of reminds me of my five-year old kid who needs attention and they start doing something to stir it up to get attention. And unfortunately he’s getting attention that way. Normally the crew over there is straight comedy, I enjoy watching it, but this was a bit out of line. I just think it’s disrespectful coming from a guy who in previous meetings, when we get together, is talking about respect and how to make our sport better. But then to do something like that is cheesy. But it’s expected."
Finally a guy who says what he thinks. Whatever you thoughts on what he said are, you have to admit in a world of ass kissing political correctness a bit of good old honesty is pretty refreshing.

I am from GA, and I do cheer for him, but I am also not so blind as to see that his results are based solely on attrition.
As far as the Motoconcepts thing goes, I thought it was pretty damn funny.
IMO if you try to steal a guys rider for real, and they just joke about it, maybe JGR needs to rethink what's less professional.
Pit Row
I like both of those guys though, if they both want to throw each other under the bus it's all fair IMO. The alessi thing was just left out and made it look like MCR didn't have a motivation to do that so I posted it since the pulp show is lost and many may have missed it.
