i'm not a fan of these riders and I am glad that there isn't one as such in the series now ,that said most of the GP rider's are exceptional just one is far better than the rest .As to the soft passes etc IMO BZ creates them by putting riders in a position that he can take advantage of( he can enter bends far quicker ) . His ability to read a race ,reactions ,bravery and self belief all play apart in making just that bit more special than the rest. Make no mistake Holder for one is neither a friend or ally of BZ that's obvious and Krutz won't even look at him so I don't think he's going to give him a pass in anyway shape or form.
We can't all like BZ but we can marvel at his ability after five world titles he is hungry for more never giving up and setting the benchmark for the rest .
We have all seen how cruel the sport can be career's are ended in a blink of an eye so let's admire this brilliant young man,I for one would be devasted if some idiot sending him to the airfence deprived the sport of his unique talent .
