MOTOGP » Dani sets return date, doubts Hayden

You guys are lot better on giving your objective opinion on a political question like that. I suggest you go watch a soccer game and beat up some people at the local club...

This whole thread of 'bout 100 posts (!) is full of ****.

The few sensible people that posted something seem to have given up on trying to explain what the true context is.

I take my hat of to the human race.

who cares? Pedrosa will race the repsol honda and Hayden will race the repsol honda. we'll all see at the finish line i guess (providing the both get equal equipment???).

Does anyone knows the weather forecast fore P.I.??

HRC actually listened to Nicky beginning of last season. Things only improved for both riders by the end of last season, so it was a clear mistake in the first place.

Now for Pedrosa to be so blunt, open and honest about the whole thing the problem must be serious. So wait a moment: tyres that no one wants, an entirely new frame, an under performing new engine, a team mate that can't develop a bike and an injury that leaves no time before the first race.

Stoner-Ducati are up for a 2nd run... Rossi do something!

Apparently no rain and about 20 deg celcius. But that could change as i am typing this.

Ahhhhh, I love to look at the different views and opinions. Some are pretty informed with facts and others are as knowledgeable as the turd I flushed this morning. Nicky rode a HRC development bike for HRC in 2006!! Nicky and crew chief made numerous pleads with HRC on what they needed, and finally when it looked like HRC was throwing it all away, the president of HRC "APOLOGIZED" to Nicky and attempted to give Nicky and crew what THEY HAD ALREADY been asking for! The 2007 POS was NOT NICKY's imputed bike, it was an HRC piece of crap built solely for Wee Man. to be cont.......Slideways151

cont..... Furthermore, while attempting to ride the HRC toy in 2007 Nicky and crew, AGAIN, begged HRC to let them change some things (front end, loose the trction control and other electrics, etc). HRC let them after Spain (I think), and Nicky flew to the front to get consecutive podiums in the next few races. And if you fact spewers can recall....Wee Man got all the new parts first NOT Nicky! Nicky has NEVER really been a development rider for Honda, because they don't give him the respect that he deserves to listen to him and Honda has payed again and again for this. I would love to see Honda or another bike to give Nicky full go ahead and then watch what happens! Slideways151

Hey Race Fans!

Don't forget the real blame is on Nicky, loyalty or not. As much as I like the guys, he had a chance to leave Honda and go to Ducati where he would have been the true number 1 rider. I bet he wishes he had that decision back.

Socal

At every instance where Nicky had either an absolute right (Estoril) or a color of a right to slam Pedrosa or other competitors, he always chose the high road by either complimenting his adversary or shutting his mouth. Yes, in the end, winning is all that matters. But the presence of speed in the absence of basic decency can cost a ******* like Pedrosa a factory ride (Biaggi??) Pedrosa is indeed fast and talented but he also weights less than a gnat's fart and has had every advantage given to him by HRC. History shows that the fates favor the fast and the good, not the fast and obnoxious. Pedrosa owed Nicky a huge debt from Estoril.

Honda may choose a two-way path like in 2006, put Hayden on the same chassis with th pneumatic valva engine as tester
let Dani Pedrosa run the 'traditional' engine as it is faster and he's the one that can take a shot at the championship.
It might work, Hayden likes the new engine and doesn't mind doing extra laps... great to test reliability
