since we are going down memory lane and everyone is so keen to bash Nicky, i seem to remember the angry smurf had his fair share of problem with the "pedrosa bike" as well. And the ONLY reason he took second was because Rossi had engine problems at Valencia not because he was such a talented rider.

Not to mention he had his fair share of crashes and poor decisions. So for a guy with such talent on a bike specifically designed & developed for him, he definitely screwed the pooch.

If Nicky had the proper bike, and support from Honda he would have EASILY been in the top 5. if not the top 3.

No matter how much you hate on Nicky, he STILL better then 3/4 of the current riders.

GO NICKY!!!

MOTOGP » Hayden fast but frustrated

Nicky Hayden once again indicated that the new Honda RC212V is as good as anything - with the notable exception of Casey Stoner - on qualifying tyres, by leaving Phillip Island with the second fastest lap time.

Quoting Ducman1098R earlier comments "since we are going down memory lane and everyone is so keen to bash Nicky, i seem to remember the angry smurf had his fair share of problem with the "pedrosa bike" as well. And the ONLY reason he took second was because Rossi had engine problems at Valencia not because he was such a talented rider"

I think it was for the same reasons that Lucky Nicky Hayden won the Championship in 2006. The only reason he took first was because Rossi had engine problems that year not because he was a talented rider.

Ducman1098 you crack me up. Goooooo rossi

Don't start it again.Please,

Dany IS a talented rider.
Nicky IS a talented rider.

They BOTH know how to set-up a bike with their TEAM.

So don't forget, its also the TEAM behind them that should be able to ask the right questions AND interpret correctly the feedback their riders give for them to get optimal performance in the end.

HRC develops the "Honda" lawnmower. Needs to be reliable. Michelin?

In the end ALL involved are responsible if it goes well OR goes down the drain...

Jeremy Burgess, Yamaha Factory, Superb mechanics, DocR will make the best of a situation.
At Ducati its the same. The Duc-team understands Stoner

And in the end:

Everybody is happy :)

I believe a Factory would actually intentionally slow its 2nd, 3rd, 4th rider down just so that all points will be accumulated by one rider in their team so that they win the championship. example. What if Ducatti actully doesn't want loris capirossi to share the lead points with stoner and slowed down his bike by adjusting the nozzles or something else. Is it possible. We keep seeing it last year that Capirossi cold catch up, This year we will see Marco Melandri doing that. Like team orders. We never see it with Dani and Nicky because they were fighting it out. If loris capirossi had shared the points between stoner Dani Pedrosa would have been Firts in the Championship. Yeah
