Anyone know anyting about Sete getting any type of ride in 07? Maybe WSB?
I remember 2 things about Sete 1/ Rossi said "you will never win another race while i am riding" that came true 2/ Sete cost Loris the Championship [Loris would have been worthy Champion, goes for the win and attacks, not rides for points Roberts/Hayden style, must be a American theme?] K202
i think that for whatever odd reason and coinciding bad luck, that jerez race broke whatever gibernau brought as a challenger. once you internalize being a good number 2 is good enough, you are pretty much overdone in motogp anyhow. don't get me wrong, i think gibernau could settle into the checa-edwards 'i am a mature reliable rider able to guarantee a top 10 finish' groove, but after where he seemed to be in '04, it definitely seems like way too little to setttle for. he had an awful season. if he finds a ride - one more season, perhaps, then go enjoy your and your family's $... one thing people need to realize about gibernau is that he's a bit of a throwback to the ages when nobility and old money family's would race in a dangerous f1 for pure passion - gibernau made it awesome far considering he's born into money and has got a supermodel girlfriend that would make any normal earthling consider the downsides of any type of from the hips down incapacitation anyhow... i'd have quit racing as soon as i landed her, dammit... or fallen off training and claimed the only thing that kept my spinal cord together was a daily blowjob... capirossi... he seemed to also get a tad nervous when he seemed to become a candidate, gibernau or not. at least i thought so. i just could not picture capirossi winning it anymore, not after so many years of seemingly internalizing number 2 is an awesome result. the catalunya stuff was unfortunate, but no way was it gibernau's fault, it was clearly a freak incident between 2 guys starting close...
