    Here's to Carlos then!

    Spies.... Talented no doubt, but when it got to the world's finest level, his mental game became his weakness I believe and it just never got rolling for him. Honestly, his retiring from racing gives me that much more appreciation for N. Hayden and his longevity and competitiveness amongst the world's best. Cheering for Edwards for so long, I haven' t given Nicky his due.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Who knows bro, if he keeps having the same health problems and can't recover injuries without gaining others he may be done for good.

    "So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

    Quite possibly one of the quickest falls from grace ever in Moto GP.

    Ben couldn't get out of his own head. Without fail EVERY time he was in the front of the pack and people started hunting him down, he would wreck. Like clockwork it would happen. However, guy is 29 and lives in Spain. Must be rough to retire at that age with a fat bank account.
