CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "His attempt to save another's life shows what type of man he was! Even if it was the life of a pet." JASON ANDERSON Congratulations to Jason Anderson. He would not have been the first one to crack under the pressure of having the points lead for so long. He apparently learned a lot from Ryan Dungey. Nice job. Also, after watching the re- plays of the attempted passes/ take-outs of the Las Vegas Supercross last year, I still do not understand how Eli Tomac can be so critical of the pass by Marvin Musquin. It was a battle for the win on the last lap of a supercross race. If he didn't want the possibility of being taken out, he shouldn't have left the door open. Paul Trautman OUR PLEASURE Thank you Cycle News for the Voices and [Looking Back] memories going back 50 years. I rode my bicycle for a 25- cent Cycle News at Joe Koons in Long Beach, California. I watched Gary Bailey ride TT/ short track on a Greeves at Tro- jan Speedway in South Gate, California. I saw Randy Mamola ride TT on a Hodaka 100 at Port Hueneme, California, and the great John R. at Perris TT in Perris, California. Yes, great memories for all of us back in the '60's. Tim Beason ERIC GEBOERS As a Belgian, the Geboers fam- ily is motocross royalty—super- talented and never gloating, even though he [Eric] had every right to. Just a class act and a very hard worker giving 100%. Sim- ply tragic. Victoria Verstraeten So very sorry to hear of his passing. Eric Geboers was one of my childhood heroes, along with Roger DeCoster, Joel Robert, Gerrit Wolsink and Heikki Mikkola. His attempt to save another's life shows what type of man he was! Even if it was the life of a pet. Michael Ruhlin One of the best of all time, a world champion in all three classes is simply incredible, and he was a really good guy, as well. Rest in peace, Eric, you won't be forgotten. Al Banta ZARCO TO KTM He could be making a huge mistake. KTM is an unproven machine in MotoGP. How many times in the past has this same scenario played itself out—an up-and-coming rider, or even an established racer with a proven win record, gets a great offer to race and help develop a new or unproven machine, only to produce a huge setback in the career of the racers due to a machine that never does, or is slow to, produce results? Money does not guarantee future results. Adam Wright Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com. Published letters do not necessarily reflect the position of Cycle News.
