MOTOGP » Nakano to get factory Honda at Brno

@ Jimmy Mansi

Apologies for this Offline Topic, wish Crash has a feature to create member threads

I wanted to ask you Mansi, Morgue, Grumpy and other guys, do you follow MotoGP "After the Flag" commentators? I like Nick Harris, straight and cool guy! Along with Harris, Matt Roberts and Gavin Emmett are the guys who does that job.

I have felt there is some (secret) bias against a particular rider by those two commentators, was watching this trend since the last couple of GPs. What are your thoughts on this one

I'm far more interested in motorcycle racing. But I'm not going to sit back and let people make misogynistic and homophobic comments without saying something. There have been some pretty shameful things said about Hamilton on the F1 side of this site and people have stood up to it. Not over here.

It seems pretty clear really, Honda want an experienced, consistent rider in a satellite team who has a good rapport with their technicians. Dovi's doing better for points but it's his first year in Moto GP. Nakano is one of the most experienced riders in Moto GP. To make a rough comparison who would you choose as a development rider, Edwards or Lorenzo (even if Lorenzo didn't keep binning it)?
Dunno if Bridgestone/Michelin has anything to do with it, who knows exactly what HRC are up to?

I'm turning Japanese, oh yes I'm turning Japanese, oh yes I think so.

(sing along with the bouncing factory HRC shod with Bridgestones and Nakano)

yes, YES, YEEESSSS!!!!!

Skinya will get all the new parts to race test before they get handed to Dani and/or Nicky,the parts would have been tested by the developement riders on the test track they now just need to be race tested,very smart move when you think about it,Dovi is still a chance in of a place in the WC,especially if Dani keeps getting injuried.

Basically to me it looks like Honda want some info on Bridgestones,as people have already stated.Its also quite obvious that Dani cant develop ****.I really dont understand the Hayden bashers that say he cant develop a bike....Isnt Dani the No1??Why should Hayden be tasked with the development of a bike that was quite clearly designed for a midget??Looking forward to Dovi going to Repsol...wouldnt it be great if he beat Pedrosa regularly.....I wonder what the outcome of that would be.It would also be nice to see Hayden get the Duc ride...I bet he wishes he had took the ride two seasons ago when he was initially offered it!!!!
