I thought it takes time to be certified as an alien, or even to mentioned in the same sentence. I guess not today in the fast moving world.

Heh, I thought the same when

Heh, I thought the same when reading it. Last year "aliens" were the guys who managed to win a dry race on an 800cc bike. That's not possible anymore. But lowering the standards so that riders without a podium finish qualify for it? Meh...

Jocular captions

Submitted by David Emmett on Sat, 2012-05-05 20:19.

I try to make the captions a little entertaining, rather than strictly factual. I wouldn't read too much into the captions I use on photos...

and I was just commenting my lack of approval for that particular caption ;)

Still love the pics and find most of the captions entertaining. I'm not your wife, so you don't have to take much care of my criticism, haha.

edit: dang, this one was supposed to be in reply to David's reply earlier.

Marquez and Stoner

Would be great to have Scott show comparison shots of Marquez and Stoner at the same spot in a corner - their styles are so similar it's eerie.. and Scott's photos are so damn good.
