Well it was another bad weekend for John and the team. One bad thing after another. One bad race after another.
Right now we\'re in Barcelona. We drove this morning with John\'s manager from Mugello. It\'s about an 11 hour drive which isn\'t too bad. John is really sore from the crash, but he insisted on driving. Sorry I didn\'t write after the race, it was a bad time and the team was getting ready to go so I didn\'t have a line to send from.
There\'s really nothing to be said, except John was hit from behind by Kenny and it was very dissappointing. By the way, I just want to say thanks to everyone for supporting John knowing the situation at hand. It may sound like I want sympathy, but I don\'t. I just want fans who are big enough to realize the problems that are occuring, and give John the support he needs. I\'m not going to say much, but I am going to say that he\'s had to work his ass off on bikes that were always inferior. Somehow he seems to overcome it, some people can\'t.
Anyway, so yes we are here in Barcelona. On our drive, we saw some strange people on the road. At a gas station in France, we saw this weirdo with a bike with handlebars 3 feet high. John called him Ape Hanger, `cause he looked like he was an Ape holding on to the handlebars, full stradle I\'m not kidding. It was ridiculous. Then we saw another guy with a bright bronze car, with a mullet, and a flamed shirt, so we called him Flamer!!! I know it sounds bad, but it fits the description.
Alright so nothing much to be said at the moment, except yes John is a little pissed off after the crash that wasn\'t his fault, but gotta move on you know? So when the week gets going, I\'ll speak more. I\'m really tired at the moment, so I\'m sorry if it\'s alittle funny reading this.
