All motor sport is falling into a pattern...F1 has Schumacher...unbeatable....... and now we have Rossi who will win all through the season and make this two-wheeeled equivalent to F1, a one-horse race.

Even so Rossi is THE BEST in motorcycle racing as is Schumacher in F1...But does this make motorsport any more INTERESTING ???

In olden days there was no system of pole positioning--I can remember drawing a "Lolly stick" out of a pot just before starting a race and that was your grid position for that race..

We had to OVERTAKE to win, not steam out in front and depend on Larry your pitman to fill your petrol tank quicker that Jackie, your rivals pitman..

Surely, if these guys are so brilliant they could face going through back-markers to win the race with credibility ?

WHATUSAY ??????

Same with the TT...Geoff Duke started at numbers 57 and 79 in his day and STILL won.........There was no seeding of riders..Or am I being "oldaysish" ??

Would love your comments folks,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Old Fool I may be but the racing seemed to be more exciting ........
