RE: [ST] Rossi unhappy with US track

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I'd have to agree with Rossi.  Most American race tracks aren't geared toward motorcycle roadracing.  American is a wimpy car racing country.  Why do you think F1 only has one race here?  No track can handle the F1 cars appropriately.  Even Indy has trouble.

Unlike Europe where the GP circuits are designed to handle the GP motorcycles and cars.  Heck, I was watching the telemetry and they were lucky to get to 5th gear.  And not for very long I might add.

Laguna may be fine for wimpy AMA motorcycle racing, but the GP bikes are just too powerful.  Heck, even Nicky said the track seemed smaller than he remembered.  Well, yeah.  That's because they were eating up the track faster.

wah wah.

 An Italian version of Matt Mladin. His words would have been the same as what Mladin whined about regarding New Hampshire Int'l Speedway's course, had he also mentioned rain conditions.
