Congratulations to Neil Hodgson 2003 WSB Champion

[FourWheelDrift]

Well done to Neil Hodgson for winning the 2003 World Superbike Championship.

Ducati MotoGP in 2003 then

And a quality comment from Charlie Cox on James Toseland's luck in the 2nd race from Assen.

"He could fall into a bucket of boobs and still come up sucking his thumb"

Agreed, well deserved. Top chap, and nice touch with the t-shirt 'whos the daddy'!

Definately, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Wonder how he'll do in GP & who his team mate will be He'll have his hands full though, anyone see capirossi last corner today? Don't know how the little sod hangs on to that thing.

I hope he does well in GPs, when you see him and xaus, Hodgson is soo smooth compaired to spiderman all over the shop! Thats gotta be good on those GP bikes?

Yip congrats to him, I feel however that if he does step up to Moto Gp he doesnt have the raw talent of Rossi Caparosi, Baylis, Edwards etc.

That he is a very hard working & commited chap goes without saying, but I feel he will struggle for podiums in Moto GP even on board the Duke.

Yeh that did make me chuckle

Almost as good was Steve Parish's line from the other week when Zaus- who was leading, somehow managed to get a bit overjoyed about being in front & crash.

Parish says " Rubins is like a naughty puppy, just when you think you have trained him to be well behaved-he lets you down & pi$$es all over the carpet"

Priceless!

Did I hear another one about "going like a pig through hot strawberries"

Is this a common Aussie expression, or is Charlie turning into Sid Waddell?

[FourWheelDrift]

for both quotes.

I used to love listening to Keith Huewen & Julian Ryder for the bikes but these two are now just as good.

Hope the BBC's ubercensor isn't a bike fan and doesn't listen in.
