its my point exactly. Honda had quite a few lean years when they won zilch. Yet nobody said it was pedrosas fault...!! I think the whole issue comes down to what seems to be a very english concept of knocking winners....like the sneer at JT wimping out ( or indeed anyone quitting a sport after injury), hence doohan and fogarty are therefore wimps eh ??
Come on FFS, lets get real and acknowledge ( like ralphie commented), that nobody can be at the top of their game for ever, and indeed racing is a fickle sport where success or failure is mere fractions of a second..
Meanwhile, going back to formula 1 as another analogy...I do wonder if Schumi might have taken that win in china if his stupid pitcrew had not left his wheel undone?....yet further proof of how the machine can limit or enhance the man !
