Sponsors made Ricky fake it near the end of his racing career, but Villapoto is still the worst. At least James is friendly to the fans. That's the second most important thing next to winning races. Most of his trash talk is in good fun too, similar to McGrath or Emig in the 90's.
I have to admit though, i dont know how any of them are to the fans. I am suprised you said that about the Goat, i wouldn't of guessed that from him, he seems humble and appreciate his fans? no?....I missed last Saturday's raced, looked like another great one. And i believe i read Reed has a broken collarbone? So far this is the best season i've ever seen....
