MOTOGP » Rossi: Better bike, better rider

Bigwl3 don't think Rossi trying to play mind games his qualiy tyre times were not good so am sure hes but some on to test not just to up his time on day 1 . Harryx must say does look abit like your trawling these pages for faults

Agreed j h. I think maybe, just maybe Vale was trying to see how fast he could go on the Q's as opposed to messing with people's heads. Sorry you weren't impressed Bigwl3, I was.

Thanks guys, keep it up Harryx I like your input better than my own drivel.
Sepang is just a test, like Philip Island. The times look good but you have to be realistic about it.
I hope Yamaha keeps chipping away at it and that they give the new engine as much miles as possible.
Would not be surprised if Vale stops earlier again to spare his hand.

I'm with you on the Abarth Livery Harryx. I have a close-up picture of Rossi from the 2007 P.I. race as my wallpaper and background for my Myspace page. I like that scheme alot and I think it'd be awesome to see them in that every race. Fantastic day for Rossi today! I hope he can keep it up when the race season starts. Things will be different during the races I'm sure but, Rossi's a well seasoned rider and if his tires hold up the entire race every race then I'm sure he'll be able to put down some fast and consistent times lap after lap. His race-tire time today wasn't bad at all and hopefully, it'll keep getting better as they modify the bike more. Ride on Rossi!

As the Yamaha developes with the Bridhgestone tyres we will see the magnificent capability of one of the worlds all time greatest riders display his truely awsome talent !

I am with you pj. It certainly was (still is)a gamble for Rossi with the BS. I like to think that it will pay off for him. If he and his team can make the package work, I think he will let it all hang out this season, like in the old days..

Come on where are all the Stoner is faster better etc now?

they'll wake up soon

Ok Stoner is better and faster.......Happy now

Hey Harryx
remember the old days when Rothmans Honda, Marlboro Yamaha, and Lucky strike suzuki are easily recognised teams. I am not saying that Fiat livery is the greatest but if you look at the Repsol Honda with Valentino Rossi's yellow leathers (I think 2003) you can identify the fans in the crowd immediately is where the yellow Sea is. Just like Schumachers Ferrari red. Its going to be a long way to see the stoner fans SEA OF RED. I doubt it. it will be a SEA OF YELLOW again this season 2008
