Really now........ i sold my bike to open my business. Dont result to low blows my friend.

And by default, I mean illogical. Think about it. (This is purely hypothetical) If Vale wins 9 races and DNF's the other 8 races, and Stoner wins 8 races with 9 other podiums, and Vale wins the championship? How rediculous is that. Its that "if your not first your last" mentality. Why would anybody else race??? Honestly?

Very ridiculous because it can't happen that way... if Rossi wins 9 races and DNFs the rest, that's 225 points. If Stoner wins 8 races that's 200 points, if he stays in the top thirteen (13th is 3 points 9X3=27) for the other races he'll win the championship. I really don't know what you are talking about. 8 wins and 9 podiums would be a sensational season for any rider! It would be a minimum of 328 points! Shit, it would probably be one of the best seasons ever!

Yep, Andrew Pitt won a World Super Sport title without winning a race as well. In a way that's kinda sad...

No... you totally missed the point. I was working back on why the new FIA/F1 system is rediculous and that wins shouldnt be everything, originally going back to whoever said that Nick didnt deserve the championship for being a 2-5 finisher.

I don't like Replicas for the fact they are too busy. I'll take an all white Duc any day of the week.

And for all u Nicky Haters...I've seen him ride at Laguna..the boy is fast and talented, but to think a GP championship is nothing, ur full of sheeeeeeit. This year he just can't the Duc setup correctly from everything I've read and heard.

There aren't many people who've beaten Mat Mladin fair and square. Nick is one of the few. I hope we see him and Spies battling together next year.
