Great to see Roczen back on
form, along with Adam Ciancia-
rulo in the 250 class.
Injuries not only change the
physical part of someone's
racing, but the mental aspect
is not as easy to quantify. It is,
however, a very important fac-
tor that must be difficult to just
forget and put behind you.
Funny how stick-and-ball
sport athletes are celebrated
and commended for overcom-
ing injuries, yet the potential
career-ending injuries that
our heroes endure and come
back from go unrecognized,
except by enthusiasts like all
of us. My utmost respect and
admiration go to all those true
athletes that race two wheels,
dirt and tarmac, and to those
that passionately support this
physically challenging form of
competition.

Woosh, Woosh…
I've been a subscriber since
about 1975 and am still grateful
you guys are still publishing.
In regards to electric vehicle
racing, in the 1950s and 1960s
our family would be part of the
500,000-strong throng that
would go to lake Washington to
watch the unlimited hydroplane
races. Imagine six or seven un-
muffled Allison and Rolls Merlin
V-12-powered boats side by
side at 170 mph.
Now they are turbine pow-
ered and sound like wooosh,
wooosh, wooosh. The crowds
have dwindled to just a shadow
of what they once were.
In regards to Stephen F's
"don't believe science" state-
ment: Sounds like it's making
"science" a belief system.
Empirical evidence and the
scientific method are what
"science" is supposed to be
about, not a consensus of "sci-
entists" with a political agenda.

In The Paddock:
The Lorenzo Sanction
I've never had a problem
with Jorge Lorenzo, and I do
believe he will win before the
year is out. All it takes is for
Honda to make the changes
that allow him to feel confident
on the bike, and he will go to
the front.

An ant can lift up to 5000
times greater than its own
weight. Don't count little Jorge
out so "fast."
