| I agree andy, in mini gp i think is even harder in many ways we dont have the big budgets and the technical back up alot of these teams have also the bikes dont have the luxury of adjustable suspension therefore the rider has alot more issues to contend with on the track as we all know how many hours we spend off the track in the shed at night trying to not only maintain our bikes but improve them for every hour on the track theres probaly double the time in the shed at night as we all well know, i totally agree the mini gp in reality is just a smaller version of the full size bikes we see on tv or mallala but the effort from riders in mini gp is equal at least to any proffesional rider often being paid a good fee to race difference is we do it not for money but the love of the sport and friendships we make from our sport and the fact we all want to be winners the great thing about our sport is the guy next to you is not your enemy but a friend and will be the first to help you get back on the track even if it means your going to beat him you wont get that in any other form of bike racing but mini gp  |
