Gimme a break!!! It ain't like she has to hump a fucking machine gun with a 100-lbs rucksack on her back for 20-miles. Yeah, muscling a sport bike at high speed is tough work, but not so tough that a well physically conditioned woman can't do it.

No, they have the str and endurance to do it, just not to do it and keep up with the best of the men. Period.

How many women playing in the Superbowl today? None, cause football is a sport that places high priority on strength and endurance. Motorcycle racing doesnt place as high a demand on those traits but enough of an emphasis that it would take just the right woman, committed enough to do it. Someday she will come along tho...When ? Depends entirely on HER level of committment.

Maybe it's because they don't yet have the development and conditioning (backing by big dollars outfits), nor do they have the cultural support. Racing is still a "man's" world. That Valentina Rossi is probably sewing up or knitting up some shit right now because that's what she thinks is expected of her. Freedom and equal opportunity may be legally instituted but it is going to take a long time for women to grow out of their shell to overcome the societal roles and then we shall see.

You telling me that there isn't a woman out there who's at least physically capable as the midgets that are Pedrosa or Lorenzo?

The eternal mystery- What a woman wants. Yep there's a ton of women in shape like Pedro and Jorge. Alot maybe have the skill and the 'feel'. Some that may truly have the passion and commitment. Few that have the opportunity. And apparently NONE that have all of the above...YET.

For the same size I doubt it. Pedrosa and Lorenzo have the benefit of being the size of typical women but with the physical capabilities of a man.

Look at any sport where men and women compete in the same events and you will see the top men are pretty much universally better than the top women. For a range of examples you only have to look at the Olympics. Is there any event where the women have better times than the men? I certainly can't think of any.

THIS!! We consider the shit out of the consequences of our actions and this can cause the mental blockages men dont get, because they dont think about it. Or overthink it if you will.

And this!

When it comes to running around the track, neck and neck, and knowing that to make this turn you have to muscle a buddy off the track, whats a man gonna do? Fuck his buddy and shove him off.

A woman would either back off or reanalyze to see if she could shave just a lil more ahead and make the safe pass without fucking her buddy and running him off because she would see the potential for him hitting that tire wall, or dumping it into the barricade and breaking his neck or back, financial damage to the bike,the EMS and the emergency room all in a split second. No man I've ever talked to has had a single one of these thoughts while racing around the track as fast as he can while as a woman these are constantly running through my head at every moment.

Or the negotiating the turn, hitting it just right, "if i fail to hit it in the sweet spot Im gonna hit the divot, have some shake in the front end, wobble thru the turn, potentially lose the control and momentum I have, run off the track, or slide if I'm in the middle of a turn and my knee gives out while it's the only thing holding my bike off the pavement", etc. And yes, I've done that. "Fuck, took this one wrong, too far over, knee all the way down, keep this fucker from scraping, up up, throttle, power up out of the lean and back upright."

Your minds work like that? And this is all within a few seconds. Just saying.

I agree 100%. Thanks dude for seeing that a woman can do it, FTR, women can do the rucksack shit for miles btw, I'll introduce you guys to my younger sister sometimes. I'd lay my money on her whooping many of you guys asses in a strength contest or a fight.

I think this is badass, she is incredible for doing this and I hope she does well. As far as age, she's in her prime, she can get better from here and keep competeing, 31 aint old.

Why would you do that to your sister? Do you not like her or something?
