GoLefty!!

Actually I hear that vettel is the number one choice but he is only available in 2016. Alonso is in prime seat do to earlier availability. Honda are keen to pouch a 4x WDC from their rival brand Infinity. Ron Dennis not too keen on Alonso despite the press banter to the contrary

The journo's don't let facts get in the way of a good story

akes you wonder how many other cases there are where similar circumstances has cost people their sports career. If the legit supply chain can't keep is hands clean how can sporting authorities expect the riders too....

lala land

I recently tested my 26 against 5 very good 29 ers bikes over a course from home up to level 4 in Tokai and back home again. My 26er was faster everytime. My conclusion is that 29ers are tanks with weak flexible wheels. hey hold on I've been sayin that for years oh well nothing to see, moving swiftly along

The wheel with the Moment of Inertia closer to the axis of rotation will accelerate faster. Since a bicycles wheel under constant acceleration the wheel with the lower moment of inertia is faster. That would be the 26 er yes. Science has known this for centuries. But Marketers are not scientists and 29er riders are clearly not scientists either... Since SA has the lowest maths and science literacy rate in the world. its hardly surprising that the 29er is most popular here

Its actually his first NEW chassis. The one he is currently using is a preseason build updated to current spec. This new chassis is the first for him fresh out of the autoclave. Ricciardo gets his new chassis in Singapore

yeah and the amountof prima donna's that walk into Bridge and demand instant attention because their Spec cost over R50K is a joke. Johny come lately's with no patience and unrealistic expectations

Actually, in the pre Pirelli era the tyre would have survived. These easily punctured tyres are a legacy of Pirelli. Even the P-Zero Rosso I had on my car had poor sidewalls. I went back to Michelin thereafter and the difference in ride quality and longevity was noticable.

Then you have clearly not watched the footage nor driven Spa. I have riven Spa and there is no way Rosberg would hav got anywhere near a sniff of an overtake from the position he placed himself into because the road narrows as it starts to bend back toward the left. For ROsberg too overtake would have required Hamilton to steer right out of the corner. Hence Rosberg had no racing line to chose and opted for a collision. That is poor sportsmanship which ever devil you chose to advocate

hamilton had the corner, its the duty of the car following to avoid. Having an overlap is not an excuse to cause an avoidable collision that advantages you. In this Case Rosberg's intentions are clear. Either way he wins so it was deliberate. Poor sportsmanship

Not the sameprinciple as a hover craft in any way. A hover craf blows to createa large pressure cushion that the vehicle rideson. The Fan in the BT46 sucked very gently to reduce the boundary layer air and hence speed up the airflow under the car. Not similar in principal. Compare it to a good blow job vs a having someone tryint to inflate you....

as stated above

so what part is not true.....in your opinion?

and a better temperament...

its not a eel. its keptin Umerica's sealed

Burgers anyone?

Mark Webber made an inspired choice to go to WEC. Its much more exciting!! Much more munch!

the reality of pharmaceutical productions says otherwise

Problem is in manufacturing back at the factory. Often they will use the same production line for different products. If the mixing tanks, and plumbing is not properly flushed then carry over will occur. The production plant doesn;t give a hoot about trace chemicals from the previous product so its fairly common to get carry over. The risk to the end user just becomes a lottery. Will the guy that bought a tub or XYZ from ACME supplements have the tub with contaminated product and will he use it close to a competition and what are he chance of that person being tested. if the risk is small the pharma companies don;t give a hoot. They not going to spend an extra day flushing out the plant because the previousproduct contained ingredients on a banned list. real patients are more valuable than healthy sports persons

would be interesting to compare the trace found in this chaps body to the levels found in Impey's samples. The whole argument for inadvertent use was the substance concentration in the sample and the disciplinary panel applyin their minds to allow a reasonable argument to be made. That doesn't happen in cycling much.

Formula 1 in 2014 is worse than ever thanks to stupid rules like homologated new hybrid engines. I have no issue with the hybrid aspect but it would be better for the spectators if the engines were allowed to be developed over the first three years of introiduction with a gradual increase in homolagation of key components. As it stands the world championship is decided on the drawing board two years before the actual championship. Think I'll go watch Jukskei instead, much more exciting

All cars have a rubber strut or shock mounting for the purpose of removing NVH and prolonging the life of the shock. there is no lateral movement in these elements due to the wheel path being fixed and determined by the suspension members. Not so easy to acheive up fron since the fork has a negative spring and is actuated directly not through a linkage.

rose tinted glasses

before 2009 what exactly was that success. here or there top 10 finishes in events like the Herald Sun tour stage wins in zgiro del capo (big events those ... Please from being an also ran in SA to a international tour winner in one year....ya right. Believe what you will but boy got caught
