Roberts: Bike too slow, Kenny too old!

"Things haven't been working out with him this year because the bike is too slow and he is too old," stated Kenny Sr. "Kenny rides this bike like it was a 1000cc - which it isn't - but Kurtis rides it more like a 600cc."

33-year-old Kenny Jr, the 2000 500cc world champion, is due to return at his home US Grand Prix, when a new chassis is expected to be ready for the team's KR212V.
