MOTOGP » Rossi red hot at Sepang

Now that''s what I''m talkin'' ''bout

Well done Rossi,
I think the reason Rossi (yamaha)are testing mainly at Sepang and Jerez and not PI,is because Sepang and Jerez races are at begining of season.So if Rossi can win those 2 races early on in the season,that'll put pressure on Ducati,sorry Casey,lol.
By the time PI comes around Rossi's Yamaha would have developed enough during the season to beat Casey at PI anyway.
COME ON TOSELAND,TOP 8 WITH A COUPLE OF PODIUMS.

Anybody here knows who the Yamaha test riders are ?
Their lap times are referred to as 'bike T' and 'bike P' but I can't figure out what these letters stand for: is it connected to the name of the rider, or to any spec of the bike...?

Oops! just checked out motogp.com and it appears the Yamaha test riders were as usual veterans Wataru Yoshikawa and Toshihiko Fujiwara...

Just so long as it's better than last season. Not knocking Stoner or Ducati as they were out of this world but i'd like to see some proper scrapping again. Failing that i'll get my fill in WSBK and Supersport 600's with the axe murderers

Well done Rossi. Doesn't give up. And don't give up. We all know you will the Championship again. Call me superstitious but I find Rossi doing well when he is wearing his Flourescent Yellow Leathers like in the picture below

Somehow I can always imagine rossi winning with his arms up in yellow leathers. I wish he will switch back to his former brilliant colors and winning ways.
GOOO!!!********SI

sorry for the asterisk .it should be GOOOOOOOOROSSI

Is it just me, or do those bikes get smaller and smaller. On some of the pictures, Rossi looks to big for the bike. How the heck can he duck in behind the fairing?

I think this is a major problem for some of the taller riders either in the paddock or moving up the ranks. To fit the bikes now you have to be a little stunted like Pedrosa and Stoner. Hey we could use this as another excuse for Rossi .

If you take Leon Camier for example (BSB). I think he is a natural talent with a great attitude but he is about 6'3'' (about 193cm) tall. There is no way he could fit into a current motogp bike. Will he be eternally a superbike rider?

I agree JH, with the old 990 it did not seem to be a problem as they had enough HP. May be an advantage on twisty tracks where the extra leverage could be a benefit.
Does that mean in the future, new riders are introduced into MotoGP based on there physical properties and PC knowledge rather than talent?


(just kidding.....)
