To be honest Hodgson shouldn't be anywere near a Moto GP ride, after turning down the Elias ride at Sachsenring. You don't turn opportunities like that down, unless you're British that is,'Superbikes rule'! What a prat.Quote:

Chaz qualified only 1.8s off pole, OK he was last but with zero preparation at all (literally had not sat on the bike before FP2), that is seriously impressive at a track he's not been to before.
As John mentioned in another thread, if he gets points he'll be a legend.
13th in warm up :D
finished 16th, three laps off, matching laps of the likes of checa, unknown track for him, unknown bike not bad at all well done chaz
Yep, he did no harm to his reputation at all.. He just needs to put his head down and work hard in AMA from now on, then hope and pray something comes along for 08...
Great effort after being thrown in at the deep end, well done.
He pitted after one of the sprockets lost a bunch of teeth, otherwise would have nabbed a few points. He got a brilliant start and came round the first couple of laps ahead of about six guys. He also was 14th on the 'best lap' chart, and did it near the end of the race, so conserved his tyres well.
A big thumbs up for that showing.
Definitely bodes well for his future career aspirations. Well done.
Chaz is really a talented rider... I have been following him at Celtic all year and it was a pleasure to see him on the big bikes!
