 CEII Talks rubbish
The Monday World Champion gobs off again.

How many times are we going to hear how he is going to set the world on fire?  No matter what bike he is on, he just can't get that win can he?  He mouths off in the press and as usual, makes himself look a dick.  Reveling over beating his injured teammate in a pre season test, just makes you realise how far down the order he is.


He might try some circumspection, instead of making himself look like an idiot in the media.
Again.

 I tend to agree, CE sounds pretty excited to have beaten his injured team mate in one pre season test. I understand JT highsided at 125 MPH and still continued with the test even though he was battered and bruised. I would be more excited if he ever managed to beat Rossi.
He may say he isn't losing any sleep over losing his crew chief but he sounds pretty bitter.

 Edwards aggro
Lets hope the aggression translates into heated track exchanges. Lets hope Colin can get the monkey of that first win off his back.

 wingeing edwards.
I always thought Edwards was a decent bloke,but what's with the pathetic putdowns towards Toseland? You just make yourself look a wanker laughing because Toseland was slower than you after a 125mph highside!

 Whiners..
To all of you who are supporting the true whiner, Toseland. All he does is complain, it's always someone else's fault. He's been doing it since WSBK and is still doing it now. Last year when he was healthy he couldn't touch CE. So it had to be crew chiefs. Ooops, now he took a spill and is over 2.5 sec slower a lap. He needs to put the energy he uses for whining and show he deserves to be in MotoGP.

LOL  I hear ya man.  I think it is really strange that JT crashed at his home race and was never really the same again... until the last race, if I remember right.  He's very talented, but something is wrong with his head, or maybe his heart.  It saddens me that those two had a falling out.  I like them both and thought it was great that CE was helping out the young lad.  I do think if I were CE I wouldn't even talk about it.  It DOES make him look like a wanker.  CE is a really nice guy though, not a wanker.  I think Colin does tend to get cought up with his emotions, and that's all this is.  I hope too that he can translate this all into some victories, which he's well capable of doing.  CE's biggest problem is that he's scared of crashing... not that I blame him.  But too many others out there are not, and that's what gets them to the front.

 re: whiners

its about time some people started seeing both sides.  everyone hacking on Colin because of the Sepang article, yeah he is enjoying it a little, and yeah he has had a tough time in motogp.  remember that JT has been complaining his head off, he is the one that wanted Colin's crew chief and said that is why he did not do well last year. 

you have to sit back and see why Colin is acting the way he is, he has been under the gun and his teamate has been slamming him, and yet Colin did better than JT last year, and he has a better attitude...

Its a bit stupid dont you think team mates at dawn and all that.

I think it makes the team look soft and unproffessional
almost clubman level stuff.
I rate colin as the gentleman of the paddock and always good to watch being interviewed and james is Hungry and wants an advantage they should have put the names in a hat and pulled them out easy. At the end of the day the man who pays the wages calls the shots and he needs to pull in the ropes and keep this sort of stuff in house, for us the fans the gossip is good even if its a bit toys out of the pram.
