From the comments section:

"Maybe they can work a rider's code: a tap on the shoulder for 'well done', a smack over the helmet for 'wake up, dozy', frantic pointing behind for 'Simoncelli is coming, abandon ship!' etc."

Like this is the racing, no?

I can't really see anything wrong with making everybody get together before or after a race session and letting them hash out their differences without the press ready to spill it to the public.

Pretty much everybody is more sensible when they're not on TV...

I vote for Colin as group mediator.  He'd bring a bottle of whiskey (or two) and some boxing gloves and just get all the schlock between the riders worked out.

That comments about Super Sic had me crackin' up too.   [laugh]

If Larry Pegram can have a reality show.............

No knock on Larry - But, really?

Leaked video of the Thursday riders only meeting could be great TV
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)
