More on our wretched ex-PM

Paul Sheehan has exposed more of Malcolm Fraser's staggering hypocrisy.

Two wheeled heaven

One-time mid-field waste of space and notorious choker Alex Barros achieved a stunning victory over the virtually unbeatable Valentino Rossi in the MotoGP race in Japan today. Even more remarkable, it was Barros' first race on the Honda V-5. Great stuff.

The race was of great interest for another reason: the return of Kawasaki to the GP fold. Sadly, it ended early with Yanagawa crashing his ZX-RR early in the race. The new bike is still way down on horsepower and (inexplicably) is not running a slipper-clutch, causing excessive engine braking and wild handling into corners. These boys are in for a rough time methinks, and unfortunately, Yanagawa is simply not a GP-grade racer.

And last, the great news came thru today that newly crowned World Superbike champ Colin Edwards will be riding in GPs next year, in a Castrol Honda squad headed by legendary tuning genius Erv Kanemoto. Thought to be defecting to the Ducati superbike squad (with whom he signed a letter on intent for 2003) after Honda bascially ignored him in favour of american superkid Nicky Hayden, Edwards was given an 11th hour opportunity by Honda to chase his GP dream. Now we can watch him to battle with Bayliss all over again.

Edwards still has one potential bugbear to deal with: the as yet uncompetitive Bridgestone tyres.
