The pleasure is all mine guys!
@Kruz: Michael Dunlop and John McGuiness are both "healthy lads" but they are not obese, I don't see why they wouldn't great at road racing. You're comparing them to Moto GP which is an entirely different world: Different bikes, different terrain, different riders. It's like comparing Rally Racing with F1. You could probably have a little belly and win Moto GP races but there is so much money involve in it, factories make sure you hit the treadmill. Colin Edwards doesn't do anything and he says that the year he tried cycling for conditioning was is worst. In my opinion, fitness became big in Moto GP just because of amount of riding the riders do (testing, R&D, qualifying, races). You body needs to be able to endure that so the mind can relax and focus. TT racers don't ride that much.
What I thought ever since I saw him. He was quite sveldt as a lad but as the years and the trophies piled up ...so did his waistline pile on. reminds me so much of the classic "experience v youth" archetype. His years of experience offset the youthful advantages that are no longe
Good point. Plus let's face it racing motorcycles or cars is easier on the body than most sports. Think about it, Max Biaggi is 40 plus years old and still kicking butts half his age. Except for Golf and a few other sports (that I wouldn't call sports), it's not happening.
