MOTOGP » Pedrosa breaks hand in fiery fall

i know u aint laughing at someone s injury ... u re a good boy after all!

Let the gloating commence

Top 3 riders from last year carrying injuries, bummer!
800cc was for safety wasn't it? Get well soon Dani

The 800's were indeed intended for "safety, but the problem is corner entry speeds.
On the 990's, it was easier to go into a corner slowly and let the sheer grunt of the bigger engine pull out of a corner. Making a fast lap time was still feasible on the bigger bikes because they made more sheer power...and torque.

The 800's, however, don't have that same amount of low-down power (which we call torque) and as a result, the riders are on the throttle longer in an effort to gain more speed. Resulting from this is substantially higher corner entry speeds, which leads to higher sustained speeds through the corners. No grip is left for braking, unless something else gives...

Its strange to think that a 230+hp bike suffers from a lack of torque, requiring high revs to keep it in the hp zone.

Try being human....gromm You have no idea my boy. ever try'd to keep a smashed up human alive... how about over half a dozon.....

John s got a point. Anyway, why they changed from 990cc to these silly 800s ie beyond me. Probably to make things easier for the electronics ...
800s suck!

Yeah they phuced that up......change the managment

im a hardcore rossi fan but will admit pedrosa is bloody fast :O! and this could be bad for a close season.. hopefully he recovers and i agree with everyone wanting the 990s back they were the nuts

Get well soon Pedrosa..

scaphoid is a bad injury ... small bone, crucuail function for a bike rider, slow recovery .... sh1iiiiit
