    Quoting paulybronco on 03 Apr 2024 11:59 PM

    You have deprived yourself of some very exciting racing by not having a little look. Although the sticking out of a leg looks somewhat strange it does serve a purpose. Braking from 350kph with the rear wheel off the deck , with no abs then seamlessly transfering that to a 68 degree lean angle mid corner to firing it out of the corner with the rear spinning up lap after lap.....respect. Riders like Jorge Martin now drag their upper arm and shoulder thru the corners.

    Will agree that these guys have the balls and the skills to ride at those speeds and the reason for the leg out but I do miss the old oil burners. Have a feeling that I'm still stuck in the 70's and 80's.

    Bmw have now shown a interest in going Moto gp racing....perhaps starting in a feeder class then moving on to the big bikes?

    Well wasn't so good for Jack or Binder either but truly remarkable from the rookie KTM rider. The kids a absolute gun and certain to knock Jack out of his factory gig next season.

    Agree 100%.
    Jack had me excited for 10mins and then he started his usual "race to the rear" while as expected Binder did a 'race to the front'.
    Jack needs to step aside for the young gun!

    I wonder what happens to Jack? he has shown what he is capable of many times but just seems to fade off.

    There comes a time when riders just lose the edge...happened to Rossi , Sheene and the list is endless.Rather than clinging on like Rossi to the bitter end, perhaps a tactical step down to allow this young kid the factory seat. Sure if Jack wanted to keep racing competitively a WSBK team would gladly get him a seat. Its just if the ego would allow himself to go to what's considered a lower level of racing. Regardless Jack can look back at his achievements with pride. Still early in the season but its not looking good for him championship wise already.

    I vaguely remember watching Wayne Gardner's last season racing.  He lost the edge big time, almost like he was scared he was going to  fall off the bike.
    Jack Miller is a different kettle of fish but. He doesnt seem to give a fuck if he falls off.
    Its got me fucked why he goes backwards after 6 laps but.

    Well as Jacks results are fading Remy Gardners are getting better....on the podium in WSBK in Assen. He led for a few laps as well.

    Jacky Boy that's not a great sprint result and to make the pressure worse the rookie finished second on the satellite bike.....ouch 🤕

    At least he fell off in the main race which stopped the backward slide!.. Bloody good race to watch though!

    Jack had a quiet safe ride in the sprint but finished in 8th two places behind the rookie KTM rider in the satelite team. Main gig on later tonight
