I tend to believe the arm pump issue.  New season, new bike, new suspension, none of which have probably ever been run this hard for this distance.  It would be hard to hide the fact he roasted off his tires when the bike was sitting in the winners circle for all to see.  Don't you think one of the first things the race engineers do after the race is compare tire wear among the different teams?

Need.  Bigger.  Garage.

Ray, here is a rather unique idea I've seen implemented on one forum in the past that worked quite well.  No moderation whatsoever.  People are allowed to post whatever they want (spam and NSFW are the exceptions).  There is none of the moderators favoring one person vs the other or having popularity contests.  Allow absolutely no post deleting or editing.  What you post it what stays up, think before you post something you may regret. 

In a small community like this, we will quickly figure out the asshats and just block them.  This makes your life easier and anyone else who would moderate in the future.  I've seen it over and over again where eventually the one running the board gets sick and tired of the BS that goes along with it.  Luckily, this is a fairly close knit community where civility will ultimately prevail.

Forums are about openness, that's what the definition of a "forum" is.  I've only been following the board for a few weeks now since it has gotten nice out and I already know who on the board I want to associate with and those who I do not.
