MOTOGP » Melandri cracks hand at Catalunya test

I'd be in bed for a month!

Marco is pushing so hard on this bike. Plain to be seen during racing. I do hope he gets something good for 2010, he really deserves it. Speedy recovery.

I gotta agree with Maxi Fan on the 2010 statement. With all the talk about the silly season I am surprised there hasn't been more talk about the miraculous year Marco has been giving the Hayate and how it could parlay into a better ride for 2010! This guy deserves a full factory ride, not this pile of Aborted Kawi excrement he has been making due with. Never was a huge fan but you have to respect what he has done on that thing this year.

Heal quickly Marco.

Oh dear, this guy has been brilliant recently. Let's hope he get's OK for July, because the three race in July will suit him - technical, twisty circuit, more on the man than on the machine, so maybe some more top10 or top6 result can come true.

What do you expect, it's a Kawasaki (aka the widowmaker). I mean Jacque retired coz he kept crashing on it and his body couldn't take it anymore. Hopkins spent as much time in the hospital as on track last year. The bike is crap. The only reason Melandri is 7th is because he's pushing hard, and when you push hard you will crash from time to time. Hope he recovers quickly.

Other races not important.I'm waiting for a race in Laguna Seca.Because he will on the podium.Go Marcooo

Get well soon Marco. Hope you get a factory ride next year - although considering your Hayate form, maybe you should stay there!

Mark my words Spies will be on this bike shortly.

For Spies sake I hope you are wrong Md Zane.

GWS Marco, a great racer, hard as nails, we all know he deserves a Factory bike after an amazing season on that thing.
