MOTOGP » Nakano to get factory Honda at Brno

That''s good news for Nakano, does this mean that Dovi''s seat is sealed at HRC?? because Dovi is consistently faster...

Only thing it means is that Nakano is riding a Honda next year. No way would Honda give him a factory bike for him to go to another manufacture next year with the info on the bike.

I do expect Dovi to get the Repsol ride.

That means Nicky would go? And to where?

Who cares, Nakano's got a works bike that means another place down the field for Flukey at Brno, just go Nicky just go and don't ever come back

Odd that they didn't give this opportunity to Dovi. Perhaps Nakano is set to be their development rider next year?

What a waste if this man gets a honda next year and Melandri gets a sh1ty Kawasaki thats pants

It was stated that since Nakano is Japanes, he would be able to communicate better with the HRC engineers to further develop the bike. He is getting a standard wroks version of the bike with spring valves.

Why do all you Nicky haters hate so much. He has proved himself in MotoGP. Just because he's had a run of bad luck, you want him out of MotoGP?

They will have to give it to a Japanese Rider if they can. Also IMO I think Honda knows that Michelin is Crap this year and better for Shinya to Test Factory Honda with Bridgestones which might dictate how Honda goes next year. Looking at how Rossi, Stoner and Vermeulen doing much better with Bridgestones. Bridgestones seem to be scorching Michelin Tracks this year. Honda might as well give it a try since Rossi is no longer developing for Honda they seem to be nowhere last few years at least follow Rossi's choice of tyres. 2006 was fluke for Honda and 2007 they just made it by one point for 2nd which was another fluke. Honda Racing Corporation used to be a big name. Not anymore.

6 years and only 3 wins, you cannot call that bad luck, its beyond a joke
