MOTOGP » Tyre 'mistake' ends Rossi's Mugello dream

Yamaha is the most balanced bike out ther, Racefan.
Ducati is the most technologically advanced bike out there (doesnt mean the fastest)

About the side saddle celebration of Rossi, I remember him doing that three times in recent year(propably theres more), Catalunya 2006, Jerez 2007 and Jerez 2009. The next races, Assen 2006, he suffers the worst crash of his career, Turkey 2007, runs off track and has major tyre problems, Le Mans 2009, well yeah...See where Im getting at?
Stop doing side saddle celebrations Valentino, they bring bad luck!!!

its really funny to hear the excuses of rossi fans the best of all time is .it was burgess,s fault, what a load crap rossis face after the race told you, he was well beaten and lucky to get third. well done casey your a now genius, how did hayden go, well done jorge, rossis crying fans want the wall down now, my ribs are sore laughing at the excuses take a defeat ha ha

What excuses are those then darren?

Interesting theory Coyote, I'll look back at the footage

ok a few things. first is that rossi set the fastest lap of the race with 2 to go. so his tires were just coming good and he was pushing, not prancing around scared like some of you think. second thing is the ducati is one year ahead of yamaha on electronics, and has a different throttle opening for every different corner on the race track. you take TC off of every rider and i would love to see what you think of rossi walking by everyone. most people with high knowledge of the sport and former champions agree. one dry weekend so far and rossi took it. him and lorenzo had 13 and 16 laps under 1:50 so it would have been those two if it stayed dry.

Take the TC off? Yeah, Rossi will finished behind Dovizioso. How long since Rossi ride without TC? It was too long ago. His riding skills may have been corrupted by the TC uses already.

The top 2 may change position, Riding without TC are still fresh in their blood for Dovizioso, Lorenzo and Stoner from 250cc experiences.

Don't fool us with the lame excuse. Go get better excuse or never say it at all. But, it will be accepted if your excuse were Rossi left his 'balls' hanging at his pitwalls...

There seems to be many saying Rossi and Lorenzo arent sharing data because of the wall. I was under the impression this wasnt the case but that Rossi thought the team could work better with more privacy based on the 08 season. If Im wrong and its common knowledge that they dont share data could someone tell me where they have acquired this information?

Thx

"Ducati is the most technologically advanced bike out there"

Yes, in terms of chassis and engine probably. But we're talking electronics, engine management, and rider assistance and in that respect Yamaha are way ahead of anyone.

Of-course some of the anti-Stoner brigade will still trot out the old rhetoric about Casey and his traction control etc, but it is now fairly common knowledge for those prepared to accept it that those stories are (and always were) total nonsense. In fact Casey runs less rider assistance than any other Ducati, never mind any other bike.

The Yamaha by contrast is an electronic marvel, as someone who works in this field I'd dearly love a little bit of detail.

They share data, even with Tech 3.

"second thing is the ducati is one year ahead of yamaha on electronics,"

Sorry but that is just not true. I don't know where you get your information from or (as I suspect) you are trying to state an opinion as being a fact.

Whatever way, you are wrong. Yamaha are in a league of their own and to suggest otherwise is unfair to those, including Valentino, who have developed such a technical masterpiece.
