MOTOGP » Hayden: I'm doing my own thing

Case 3 - Dani finishes 2nd or below in 2008 but stays because the money's good
They dump Hayden for Dovizioso, he matches better with Dani > new bike
2010 Dovi wins title

I agree Morgue, It's a matter of time for Doviziozo to enter the Repsol team..

Oooh, how about a team in '09 of Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo!
Omigod, it would only take for one of them to get to the cornflakes first in the morning for all kinds of crap to start flying about!
Talk about a team from Hell, I certainly wouldn't want to work in it.

That's an excellent one! Pedrosa+Lorenzo is an embarrassing idea
but don't underestimate the potential for drama of Rossi+Lorenzo 08, with the egos
of spoilt maniacs, only that Rossi is the clever one.
It will happen, sure bet: "Didn't win because Michelins suck" OR
"Bridgestone are not giving me the stuff that Stoner gets, I want Michelines"
while Stoner, Pedrosa and Dovizioso fight their own war.

There is no doubt in my mind Rossi will Diss Bridgstone if he doesnt win a race.
He will be calling for a different tyre spec, excuses will be. "The tyre didnt have the right feel", "It dosnt suit our chassis", "we need more testing"[So he can have a special built tyre for his needs AGAIN].

Pedrosa Lorenzo won't happen. Remember Lorenzo dumped Honda in 250's and went back to Aprilia. Don't think Honda will forget that. Much more likely to be Pedrosa Dovizioso who both came up through the Honda ranks and stayed loyal to Honda even though Honda stopped 250 development.

They'd need to scrape the ice off the bikes before they could go out for practice laps
as the atmosphere would be sooo frosty! LOL!

Reminds me of a cartoon in MCN years ago about Kenny Roberts Jnr (Suzuki at the time) In reference to his complaints about the grip from his tyres being told, "Take it easy as we're going to keep the tyre warmers on for the first few laps of the race!" haha
