Heres the result of the survey,I asked 100 of my customers (aged between approx 30-70) the following I Showed them a picture of Rossi in his racing leathers..only 8 people recognized him (included in that 8 a few of them said is that Rossi? obvously they had heard his name but didn't know what he looked like).. looks like i was correct in saying the majority of non bikers woudn't recognize him..sorry @HughJarse Some folk thought he was Marquez, Pedrosa and Lewis Hamilton!! I then Showed them a picture of Barry Sheen (not in his leathers ) 37 people recognized him,which again came as no surprise Some folk thought he was James Hunt, David Essex, Ozzy Osborne!! And Sidney Devine!!!! I then asked them to name any motorbike racer from the past or the present 52 people named Barry Sheen (15 of them didn’t recognize him in the picture though) 9 people said Carl Fogarty 8 people said Rossi 3 people said Guy Martin 3 people said Marquez 2 people said joey Dunlop 1 person said Steve Hislop (although they stayed near him in Hawick) 1 person said Pedrosa 1 person said Lewis Hamilton! 1 person said Nigel Mansell!! So it's pretty obvious from this that the vast majority of non bikers havn't a clue who any motorbike racer is apart from Barry Sheen
Watch your ass Petrux, you got Jack Miller and Francesco Bagnaia after your ride now . Should be very interesting this year.
No spoilers here but hats off to triumph for moto 2. ..next question when's the moto gp team on it's way?
Yep fab and I love my daughter. Lol Great show all round, the slow old fox, GOAT?(No way, sorry even tho I am a fan) , still ended up best Yamaha, shame for Quartaro as he would have shook things up. Also Miller, seat comes off ffs. Roll on Argentina.
I will have to try this next race. Only just watched Moto 2. Two cracking races so far. I'm hoping that the big one follows suit
Whats happened to the highlights we used to get on channel 5? Can you watch it free on the net? Dinosaurs R us.
Dunno about anyone else but I wasn’t overly impressed with the Quest coverage of the gp highlights. I thought the camera work wasn’t great, kept getting helicopter noise coming through on the trackside microphones, and the commentators lacked knowledge (whoever they were). On the upside I thought Rossi rode a pretty good race coming through from 14th to 5th and it would be unfair not to give Suzuki a shout, and great to see Cal pushing for the podium strongly. Shame it all got a bit political with the protest over the Ducati and it’s aero swingarm.
