LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"He seems like a nice kid and he's obviously
a hell of a racer."
Scotty Fan
I am so glad you make room
for Michael Scott's journalism.
Any fan of MotoGP - no matter
how well informed - becomes
both more knowledgeable and
entertained as a result of his
colorful, insightful and frank
observations. And a publication
with the excellence of Cycle
News is always improved when
a writer with a clever and sometimes wicked sense of humor is
a contributor.

In The Paddock
Why did Michael Scott ("In The
Paddock," Issue 1, January 7)
fail to mention that fuel would
be cut back from 21 liters to 20
liters this year in MotoGP? It's a
very significant change and obvious advantage to Honda for
even the most casual observer,
as the Yamahas have ran out
of fuel on the cool-down laps
on multiple occasions this past
year. And that's actually an improvement from the year prior
when they ran out altogether
during the race.
I have a very strong inkling
that "more of the same" is not
what 2014 promises to bring that is if you prefer close racing
and tense competition. But
rather more Marc Marquez winning and lots more Honda 1-2s.
It's quite clear by the author's
omission in this storyline that
the latter is what he was referring to as filling the bill nicely
for him.

Roczen Fan
Nice to see Ken Roczen win
the Anaheim Supercross ("Roczen Solid Win," Issue 1, January 7). He seems like a nice kid
and he's obviously a hell of a
racer. Let's hope there's more
to come.

James Stewart
Yes, James Stewart is fast, but
you would think after all these
years he would know it's better
to keep the bike on two wheels
and get some points than to
DNF. "The whoops had been
taking people out all night…"
so he thought that was a good
place to pass? He makes dumb
decisions that make him crash
out.

James Stewart II
It's really sad that when he
crashes everyone jumps on the
I-hate-James-Stewart wagon.
He just got caught in the
whoops. At least he was pushing forward at Anaheim and no
one was as fast as him. I think
he will do great this year.

James Stewart III
It's a long season and I will
wait until the end to see who is
champ. Go James!
