I see the loathing goes deep Ace, calling him a criminal and such.
The Italian tax office is after Capirossi too, for the second time, as well as various football players.
In Rossis case (and Caprrossis, he lives in Monaco) they are dealing with someone that lives abroad, he has a house in London and one in Ibiza. They try to make a case over cars he has registrered in Italy and thus try to 'prove' he lives there,
which is bull**** because he already left in his last year of 250 when it was becoming impossible to walk the streets in Italy because of all the fans chasing him.
He will work it out, don't accuse someone if you don't know the facts.

During Friday's Fiat Yamaha team launch, at Turn in Italy, Valentino Rossi unsurprisingly faced questions about his post-2008 plans.

Won't say gets more tired but taller people have more leverage (can use body length in corners to keep the bike more upright)or centrifugal force

Dani holds a unique record in MotoGP. The rider with the biggest winning margin.He set it at the Sachsenring last year. He was nearly 0.5 minutes ahead of the next rider home. The Sachsenring must be the toughest circuit of all. Last year the temperature was in the top 30's. The guy may be small but he is a mighty bull. Proof that size does not matter!
Recently I have noticed that CrashNet fans seem to be giving the guy more respect. He used to be the guy all the Brits hated. Are things changing?

Pedrosa rode superbly last year.
Inspite of all trouble he had last season he managed to be on top.What a guy!
If Honda came with decent bike (which I really believe they will) we are going to have hell of a season in 2008.As we all can see,last year became so boring because the top rider such as Rossi,Pedrosa,Hayden didn't fed with a decent bike & tyre so Stoner race alone.
Honda,Yamaha+Michelin really struggle but somehow they still managed to beat Kawasaki & Suzuki which IMO had better bike & tyre than they did.It proves the rider still above all,but truly it was very sad to see the best riders on earth couldn't push to the max because all of the reason that we all know what it is.. :)

Dani beat everyone in 125cc and 250cc on a lesser bike, on a bike that Lorenzo discarded after one year to take the Aprilia, a bike which everyone blames for Dovi no twinning a title. . He kicked *** on that bike (Almighty Casey s included). First season in mgp he won races and could ve won one more in valencia if he hadnt f d up in portugal. Look what the 06 world champ did in 07 with that package and what dani did. Given a good bike, he ll be the one to beat for rossi.. Csase nay have had a better package last year, but skill wise, sorry, i m for Dani or Rossi

to Sum1:
changing one more time to third different factory by Rossi is almost impossible, so changing like you wrote (1 year Kawasaki, 1 year Duc, 2 years Suzuki) will be definetly impossible and stupid;) i guess Ducati leading with it, if not, maybe Suzi if they'll be strong as they announce.

Well Moto, when you say things like "For Stoner when he wins it's all about the bike and when he loses it's his fault". When through the course of the season he has blamed:

The tyres (Jerez, Sachsenring, Motegi)
Lack of set-up time (Mugello)
The wind!! (Assen)
His clutch (Estoril)

It starts looks like you haven't being paying attention. In fact looking back on it the only race he gave anyone else any credit was Pedrosa at Valencia.

I don't have to twist anything, you just have to think about what you say before you say it. Or at the very least do some research & take the sport more seriously. These guys are risking their lives y'know.

Altough I find Dani a fantastic rider, he will not become the new WC and this is why;
He hasn't got the spirit like Vale or Stoner, when it comes to pushing the machine (over the top) you always saw Dani to get first in the brakes, his wet skils are not the same as Valetino or Stoner Vermeulen and also Melandri.. It is because Honda makes the bike so suitable for Dani that he gets the best out of it...

These are my predicitions: (If the shoulder stays good 1. Stoner 2. Vale 3. Dani 4.Nicky 5. Hopper 6. Capirossi 7. Lorenzo 8. Melandri ( I think he will need some time to adapt the red devil but maybe the test this week give me another opinion)

Life before Rossi for some is non existent? too funny.... dont forget the overnight tyre specials that got him the titles ;)
Some might remember Sheene, Spencer, Lawson, Gardner, Rainy then again maybe not :?
