After winning
the championship, Skider said:
"First of all I wanna say big congratulations to all who make this
championship possible for us, the best gp500 online championship ever
(who did not know that?).
Well actually I'm really surprised about winning the championship again
this year because this year has been much harder than last year, I
didn't change anything in my mind to do races, but I made mistakes and
falls that made me think of the possibility to lose it, it was hard
when I was leading by 30 points at the middle of the season and Seby
got pass me in the standings wish his 5 in a row victories. I think the
problem were a group of factors:
- This year I didn't have the same time as last year to practice for
the races and it cost to me, some bad races, mistakes and falls.
- The physics of the bike were much more harder to ride as the 2006
& 2005 ones, more faster but more difficult as well, specially the
front end, very easy to lose it even with green tyres.
- Most important factor were the rivals in the track, Seby, Guishermo,
Vouks, SFW, Down, etc... The level this year was much more higher than
last year, specially Seby and Guishermo, both of them will be the guys
to beat next year, it will be very hard to beat these 2 mofos next
year, Im sure of it. I'm very happy because of that, even with some
throubles I could win the championship again, I have to admit it was
damn hard after some bad races this season that cost me some important
points and big disappointments. But I didn't hope to finish the
championship as I did, I think after the "bad" results the battle would
be more close, pity for Seby to lose some points at the beginning of
the season and specially at Phillip Island where was the decisive race
for us, but that's racing.
I'm very happy after this 2007 season, winning the tittle 2 years in a
row is unbelievable for me. In the best gp500 championship ever, what
else can I ask for?
It's amazing how gr8 is this game, what feelings we can feel with this
game, GP500 FOREVER M8S!!!!!!! LONG LIVE THIS CHAMPIONSHIP and
specially enjoy it while we can hehehe bad times are always to come,
you can't be out of danger until you die lol.
ByE! HAVE FUN!!!"
