Do factories still crush the previous season's bikes at the end of the year? Always seemed a horrific waste to me.

I went to KR racing HQ in about 2000 and there about 25 of his old racing bikes there.
I still see loads of interesting bikes that are still intact.

I did wonder whether it was an urban myth or not.

Just like the hype! :)

Good on Rins, shame Suzuli won't be on the grid next season.

Tuesday's tests should be interesting

Well,that's us done for now. It was a funny season,with Yamaha doing it's level best to come second. I hope there is some hot new parts for the Tuesday test.

There's no doubting Ducati's hunger and will to win. Tardozzi's heart rate at 147 while spectating. :lol:

No shining finale for McPhee,I wonder what the future holds for him.

How odd was it to see Chantra's identical crash on the same corner as his team-mate Ogura? If that wasn't a setting issue.I don't know.

Dixon had an okish season,but he'll need to make a step for 23.

Is Sam Lowes riding in Moto2 next year?
