Ellison sucks. To be where he is on the M1 just says he has no business in MotoGP, he'd be better off in BSB or WSB with the others who couldn't cut it.
I'd like to see a brit do well, but the guff he comes out with in MCN just confirms he simply isn't good enough (in my humble opinion). Only a few weeks ago in MCN he reckoned he cornered and exited corners as fast as anyone (including Rossi !), and he was only slow as when he braked he slowed down too fast !
This week in MCN he reckons it is unreasonable to expect to jump on the M1 and go fast straight away (boo hoo). But as he knows the tracks, surely it is very resonable to expect him to be better than all but last which is where he has qualified for Jerez.
MotoGP is for the elite, and I'd rather see no Brit than one looking bad, on a proven bike.
EDIT - Just watching the end of the Jerez GP and Ellison is dead last by a country mile (only rider to get lapped) - Nuff said. Good race though - Rossi did well to get back to 14th with only 1 footpeg! Pedrosa did really well too, I guess this year it's Rossi vs. the oompah lumpahs...
