This is what Steve Parrish had to say:

After the race he was booed by some fans, which I found very disappointing.

It's happened here before, it only happens in the UK and I don't understand where it's coming from.

I didn't realise some people who came to watch bike racing were that stupid - they don't appreciate how good he is.

It's not just about having a fast bike, otherwise anyone could have won on that bike last year - he's a magician on it and they should appreciate that.

He could probably do his own PR a bit better by not complaining so much, but he reminds me of Mick Doohan - he's incredibly hard on himself and the team around him and if things aren't perfect he moans - but maybe he should do it behind closed doors.

I'm still puzzled by this after reading thoughts from the hardcore fans.

Fans usually react from partisanship and/or some disagreeable on track incident.

Obviously you don't watch Futurama Cheese it = Leg it = run away (you Antipodeans are a bit simple really, thought it made perfect sense : )

It's fairly likely that a bit of the old 'media spin' gets to people in the style of F1, with some of these rider interviews.

When re-printed the original tone of the interview is completely lost and people start reading over-the-top things into it. If you look at crash.net's F1 coverage you see it all the time - the past couple of years it's "Lewis...." every day which is simply tiresome, whoever the guy is. Casey wants everything to be perfect, which is natural in a premier-class championship - so does everyone.

The bottom line is that these guys risk their lives for our entertainment, and all deserve our respect for that. Any preferential treatment amongst riders has to always bear that in mind. If an idiot boos someone and then the someone gets hurt or killed, I'm pretty sure that any subsequent booing would stop.

It also seems fairly obvious that different personalities, cultures and nationalities are something that add value to the championships, and should be celebrated
