thats what i was thinking. there are plenty in the bsb paddock that are not so kind when discussing a certain team,with good reason so i hear.
to imply the type of rider that competes at the top at the tt have long term planning high on the list of their priorities is a bit silly. these lads are all adrenaline junkies and born winners. they will do whatever it takes to put themselves in a position to win, that is all there is to it.
michael dunlop is a class rider and very popular with the fans due to his no holds barred riding style, commitment and his tendency to not shy away from controversy. road racing in general is in a better place thanks to his participation.
the new yamaha may well be doing ok on short circuits in general around the globe, so are ducatis and aprilias,it is no measure of how suitable the bike is for a tt.
i personally could not care less how the yamaha team feel about dunlop switching bikes. he has to do what he feels is the best for him at the tt. if the bike is not up to it, he does not have the luxury of a gravel trap to mull over what went wrong. it is the individual racers who are the stars of the show, not the teams ,and they would do well to remember that.
(first post,so go easy on me, lol )

Great first post - I don't disagree with any of that.

Would love to know what the BSB paddock comments are
