Yep go back to the old rules so certain riders get special treatment with a special tire flown in over night specifically made for them. I guess this is how we can put Rossi's 5 premier class titles down to.

Funny that people say this year if things had been equal Rossi would have walked all over Stoner, well the tyres rules were equal for everyone and someone else won the championship.

How have they destroyed competition? Tyre brands can bring what tyres they want to races. All riders had to pick 31 tyres for a round. You would think someone who can set up a bike would have the advanatage.
I hope Michelin get thier act together in 08 and produce a superior tire to the Bridgestones

I think I can actually finally put this debate to bed, last week when some friends came round to my place after ummm, never mind, anyway they came to my house one afternoon and we had a controlled testing session on my Playstation, and we tested different rider and tyre combinatioons, and it was incontrovertible, the M tyres with VR combination just did not work, it is proof that there is a plot and that VR has been getting worse tyres than others, the playstation never lies!

Parker. I think you are the idiot. As I wrote in my second post to Hugo, I didn't mention Rossi. I think you Stonerettes are getting a little paraniod. Try reading it again. It was a completely unbiased opinion, stating a fact and ending by complementing the fastest rider this year.

Look out, If Michelin gets it right in the off season, and they seem to be improving , Dani could be the favorite to win the Title in 08!

On the other hand, there's a mountain of very fast Bridgestone riders to be dealt with.

De puniet could be a dark horse?

Valentino will have added pressure to win it in 08, if on Bridgestones. As the G.O.A.T. (Greatist Of All Time) Can he do it?

Dani's comment about the Michelins were positive after the race. I hope Michelin look after Dani, Nicky, Colin who have remained loyal + new Yamaha riders and other Honda teams to produce an outstanding tire.

Seems the Princess and his kiddie fan base have been the most vocal in 07 and being the biggiest bunch of whingers.

One crown they cant take from Val is his Tiara, he will always be the Princess of MotoGP ;)

Bring in as many tyres as you like or can manage to the circuit. No allowing manufacturers to fly in overnight specials. That was Michelins advantage, remove it and put them on the same level as Bridgestone and Dunlop.
