CN III VOICES L E T T E R S T O T H E E D I T O R "What the hell is it with motocross fans that look for the first thing to hate on a great rider?" Smith Wins On Kawasaki Seems like a lot of Harley- Davidsons are "expiring" this year in the AMA Grand National Championship. Hope they have some deep pockets. Dave Griffin Via Facebook Two More Years For Rossi Great news for Valentino Rossi fans and MotoGP in general. It's been fantastic to see Rossi getting comfortable on the Yamaha again and looking like his old self. If you take away the super- naturally talented Marc Mar- quez who no one seems able to beat, Rossi is as good or better than the rest. That's quite a feat after nine World Championships. I wish him many more. Lance Holst Via Facebook Two More Years For Rossi II Smart move by Yamaha. Valen- tino Rossi has more personality and stage presence than the rest of the riders put together. Which generates ink and good- will and sells bikes. Noel Park Via Facebook Pedrosa Signs Let's see - Nicky Hayden, one World Championship, loses Honda ride. Dani Pedrosa, zero World Championships, stays with Honda for years. Honda equals stupid. I haven't bought a Honda since they dumped Nicky. James Pratt Via Facebook The Wolverine Thanks for the story on Dane Westby ("On A Roll," Issue 27, July 8). It's nice to see a racer returning to his roots, going on the road with his crew and fa- ther, and having success while doing so. We all like an under- dog and I wish the Westbys the best of luck for the rest of the year. Mick Vincent Via the Internet The Stewart Saga Come on people; let's actually find out what James Stewart failed the doping test with be- fore we hang the guy out to dry. What the hell is it with moto- cross fans that look for the first thing to hate on a great rider? I am not the biggest Stewart fan as Ryan Dungey is the one I usually root for, but give it a rest until we know the full story.
