Ja imam prijateljicu iz Austina. Divna devojka, obrazovana, duhovita... ali ne voli trke. To što ti misilš o biznis modelu poznatijem pod nazivom "motoGP" je samo anomalija za ekipu koja zarađuje (ili je zarađivala) lovu prateći razne grafikone gleadnosti. Nije Austin u pitanju nego TREĆA trka u Americi gde pažnju TV gledališta (zabole ih da li poznaju ili vole motore, trke, sport...) mogu da privuku samo ako imaju nekog Capetian America protagonistu. Da ne bude da imam lošije mišljenje o Amerikancima nego o ..........., isto je i u ........ i ........... ! Jebi ga, gde god se pojavi velika lova pojavi se i venture kapitalizam. Da li možeš da zamisliš da im za 6 godina Rossi-evih pobeda skoro svakog vikenda tokom cele sezone nije padala gledanost ni za poen, naprotiv. Ovce vole zicer (izuzev Ban-a, Štampar-a i Jahač-a ). p.s. o važnosti Američkog tržišta: Cena jedne reklame (30 SEKUNDI) u finalu World Series je ravna Coca Cola-inom godišnjem budžetu za marketing u Mađarskoj. Govorim o CELOKUPNOM budžetu. Sve što će da potroše na TV, outdoor, kompletne kampanje... Formula je otprilike: broj stanovnika X prosečna zarada X spremnost da se pare bace na nepotrebne gluposti koje će da završe u garaži= vrednost tržišta kakve sve ovo ima veze sa motociklizmom? NIKAKVE! Tako da kad čujem "popularizacija sporta" creva mi se okrenu.

Evo kako se donose odluke ko ostaje a ko odlazi: David Emmett ‏@motomatters Spies is expensive, but important to Dorna with Austin race for next year. Redding cheaper, with a lot of potential. "Spies je skup ali važan za Dornu zbog trke u Austin-u sledeće godine". Znači da će da mu doplati ukoliko Gresini ne može da ga plati dovoljno. Ipak, mislim da mu šanse nisu veče nego drugoj dvojici za ugovor.

U razgovoru sa Azi Farni, Fausto Gresini potvrdio da razgovara sa trojicom: Azi Farni ‏@AziFarniBBC Fausto Gresini has confirmed talks with Spies, Redding and Bautista. will be interesting to see how that pans out..

Nadam se da jeste.... :takoje: Ma kakvi! Sad će Melandri da usere dve trke i Biaggi prelazi u nedostižno vođstvo.

Nije ništa potvrđeno ni od koga. Spies se i dalje smeška. Jedino što je potvrđeno je da CRU potpisao za Tech3.

Ma da bre, sledio sam se bio kad sam gledao trku. Pomislio sam evo ga opet.

Ahhh, toga sam se i plašio! Neizvesnost!

Ovo je stvarno da se krstiš i nogama i rukama! Colin Edwards ‏@texastornado5 Breaking news!!!! Suter/BMW test program put on hold as test rider (Mr Suter) has broke his shit. For real folks :-0 Pao gazda (Eskil Suter), polomio se, skršio motor i više nema razvoja za neko vreme. I to se takmiči u MotoGP-u!!! U stvari je do 00 da se stvar vratila u garaže iz korporacijskih laboratorija sa teleportima i 3D cincilatorima.

Hmmm, ma jok...

Znači da su ovo q. vremena i da mogu bar sekundu i po dole.

Ja, pre par nedelja, rekla mi neka mnogo fina dama da sve ide glatko i da će TD 16 biti održan po planu.

Ne mogu da se opredelim između tri tumačenja Severijanovog posta. a. Jedan TD je siguran samo ne znamo tačno kad. b. Jedan smo obezbedili a pokušavamo još jedan. c. Ništa nije sigurno, 30. verovatniji od 22. p.s. Ja bih, da ne ponavljam tužnu priču o propuštenim Hungaroringovima, overio 16. na tih par sati, čisto u slučaju da nešto krene naopako. Kraj Septembra je u pitanju, vreme je lutrija... ne bih voleo da preskočim zicer a da me 22. ili 30. "iznenadi" potop. Ovo je stav izgrađen na višegodišnjem iskustvu koje glasi: "Idi na stazu kad god možeš jer sledeći put možda nećeš moći". Voleo bih da me se ne smatra izdajnikom i nedrugom ako odem i na NAVAK-ov (ili sva tri u slučaju opcije b.) TD.

Ne vidim kako će to da spasi šampionat. CPP/kupovna moć je to što interesuje potencijalne investitore i oglašavače a Španski gledaoci baš i nisu neka marka kad je kupovna moć/spremnost u pitanju. Treba da nađu ponekog Kineza, Indusa, Nemca, Amerikanca, Brazilca... da bi privukli ozbiljniju lovu ne bi li GP motocikli nastavili da budu vrhunski prototipovi. p.s. naravno, seci dupe krpi uši rešenje je da se Rossi vrati u Yamahu pošto je njegova univerzalna privlačna moć i dalje velika ali to je projekat kratkog daha kad se radi o kompaniji koja planira strategiju za sledećih 10 godina.

Lepo ja rekoh da bi samo lud čovek rizikovao zdravlje zbog izgubljenog šampionata.

Hrabar potez. Njemu bi Ducati mogao da završi karijeru. Znači da Spies definitivno ide u neko drugo takmičenje. Tour de France?

Tek sam sad video flašicu. Pomislio bi čovek da bogataši koriste neke skupe flašice a ne ove ko mi obični smrtnici.
