MOTOGP » Pedrosa heads to US, intends to race

I am so proud of my son. He has mastered understatement, look:

"The bike has a lot of power and for safety reasons you have to really grip the handlebar."

I told him not to let go of the grips in Germany, but he did not listen to mum, and look what happened.

Philip you have clearly more knowledge on this subject then I do. I will wait and see what's going to happened.. It must be a difficult choice for him ..

Good luck Dani! I've read the doctor's diagnose and it looks like some of you are quite wrong. He has most of his left hand injured so he can not get the "magic injections" like someone here called it, because then he wouldn't be able to move the fingers to touch the clutch. He has seveal fingers injured, plus his wrist and tendons. Then he has his right ankle injured too, and he needs that one for the back break, so again, they can not "sleep" it. I don't know how to explain it without using doctors terms, so everyone can understand it, lets say:
it will be truly a miracle if he can race this weekend. So good luck Dani, you are very brave to try it!

Where did u read that Neil was subbing for Dani? That would be a bomb shell if its true.

Give Tanio a break, It's no different to some of the Stoner fanboy talk it's just the so macho ozzies have trouble showing their emotions...
If you think the stoner boys wouldn't be over the moon to see Rossi in the gravel(as Assen proved)then you're a touch naive...

Tanio - I think you need a colonic irrigation of the head

Tanio, you are mentally ill old chap.

VR has been godlike in his career as a MotoGP rider agreed, and i think anyone with a brain will want to see good close competitive racing WITH ALL THE RIDERS FULLY FIT.

Do you think Schwantz wanted to win the world championship without being pushed all the way by Wayne Rainey all those years ago, i think not, and i rather think VR is of the same mentality, this is a massive test for Rossi and as the championship is so close at the moment, it is poised on a knife edge.

I think any advantages are with machinery developments, so i think it will be the teams not the riders who will make the biggest difference in the last half of the season.

just heard in the paddock, Dani's not riding....Neil Hodgson will be on his bike, should be good

Tanio....Please don't post rubbish just to stir things up. Make some sensible contributions, you'll find that gets things going anyway, if thats what you want.

That's a real bad attitude Tanio, hoping for people to get injured
I like Rossi to win as well but not that way.
