MOTOGP » Rossi makes Bridgestone debut.

HARRY #3,
no one is slagging Stoner off or at least proper fans, even us devoted Rossi fans know when we see something good & as Gina says above the Ducati/Stoner/Bridestone package was awsome last year.

We will see just how good Rossi is now he's on decent rubber, 0.3 off stoner on last years bike is pretty good & considering rossi has only worked with the Bridestone tyre for just a few hr's it's prety damn good, just wait untill he's had abit of time to adjust to them & modify the Chassis to work with them.

Harry, Rossi also won the title on the yamaha when it definately wasn't the best bike! admitedly its still early days for Casey, but lets hope he is still as good on other bikes, IF he changes, or IF Ducati face tough times...

See what you mean now tom, still its a good performance from lorenzo, maybe a sign of a great battle in the yamaha team

Im sure that the Tech 3 team had the slowest bike and tyes not rossi, as edwards got a couple of pole postions this year, if rossi wins this year than far play, but he won 3 titles on the best bike/best tyres/best combo so lets not slag Casey of anymore for wining on the best bike

Zydon - Stoner only had 35 laps cause he binned it and called it quits after that.

Good first results for Rossi.

Uh tommo, he was talking about MotoGP bikes in general, and it says step up not setup.

I agree..stoner was best of the rest on the fastest bike and unmistakable combo - with tyres, electronics etc...and rossi was third in the championship on the slowest bike and tyres that are falling apart and have strings flying off them in the middle of the race. hahaha...
i guess there are a few definitions of what you mean by the "best"...hahahaha

Checa on M1/Dunlop was faster than Rossi on M1/Michelin at Qatar off-season test in end 2005. Checa was far more impressed me than Rossi on Bridgestone.

Stoner with only 35 laps, Rossi must have a lots of works ahead to set-up his Yamaha to match Bridgestone. Initially, it's not a good time and 2008 version has yet being tested. May be, he will having the same like Checa situation where 2005 M1 was far better with Dunlop than 2006 M1 that has chassis problems and destroyed his 2006 Dunlop success hope.

Dovizioso says the M1 is easy to setup?, how does he know that then, freedom of information between teams?

Looks good for the season ahead, Lorenzo is looking quick, as does ROssi and we know what to expect from the Ducati... So who is going to win...
