MOTOGP » Pedrosa, Honda abandon Brno test

yes colin has done a good time, but if u read dovi's post it says that colin could only do 3 fast laps on that tire!!! so it sounds like it was a soft tire with limited life.
people talk about the riders doing crap, but jorge, jt and colin didn't become **** riders overnite, its all about the overall package.

kwaka- seems that every rider nowadays "boohoos" for something. In my opinion however it is better to boohoo for a serious deficit in your equipment rather than for having to fight for your wins!

Michelin are struggling to give a good tyre, and Honda aren't the sort of people to upset. It wouldn't surprise me to see Michelin out of the series completely if they get it wrong next year.

Honda, a team who have generally always been ahead of the game, haven't helped themselves by being a whole year behind in developing their pneumatic engine though.

When the tough get going, Dani goes home!!!!

Sure Michelin are having a crap time of it at the moment, but it ain't going to get better by not having the supposed no'1 rider spitting his dummy out cos it's not going right, just who is supposed address Michelins issues then?

Whats up with todays GP rider are they men or just spolit bloody kids, first Stoner and now Pedrobot....if i were Honda, i'd suspend Pedrobot for two races give his bike to Nakano.

Go back 15 or 20 years i couldn't see Lawson, Schwantz, Rainey & co pissing about like this!

All I've been thinking is that I bet Nicky Hayden is glad he didn't push himself to be at Brno! Remember when Danni was moaning about Nicky and testing? At least he bothered to try!
Love Ray Von's idea of giving the bike to Nakano!

Can't believe the comments questioning DP's commitment! He was leading the championship not that long ago for christs sake. Good on him for saying what he thinks, he should go and kick three shades of **** out of michelin's (and hondas) so called expert just to drive his point home. At this rate I'd almost bet that at least one of the factory hondas will change brands within the next couple of races. Surely honda will be doing all they can to get their hands on the bridgys for evaluation for next years 'one make' tyre rule. I've warmed to DP even after his missile attempt on Hayden in '06. He races for himself, no theatrics required.

Bob - why not question his commitment ? He is the leading rider in a top works team , he has responsibilities to that team and to Michelin , particularly data aquisition to assist in getting back up to speed.
As Ray Von rightly put it , you'd never see Lawson , Rainey , Schwantz or Doohan getting mardy and going home ( and remember Rainey had a torrid time with the Dunlops in 1991 , at Misano it was so bad he had to stop and change the rear mid race ) but he never gave up or spat the dummy.
Dani , like the others are paid a lot of money a year so should act professionally and get stuck in...

What is wrong with people digging at danny.. their is no question that he is the next rider to Rossi on the grid (yes over stoner) as danny can do what most other's can't and that is ride around problems. Start of the season, no tesing still injured and he zips through the field and gets third. Rubbish in the wet 06, 2 seconds quicker than anyone in germany, sepang gashed knee still third.
And this year he gave USA a go when he must have been in a right state to still be suffering 5 weeks later in Brno. The lad has more commitmant than anyone and has proven he never gives up. 2 years he has been screwed by Michelin and Honda and yet he still tries, I would not blame him.....

Darkwaknight - 'Er , 2 seconds quicker than anyone in Germany for 5 laps and then the fall that was obviously coming........... sorry , it's bull**** , he should get on and help michelin with data , simple.

.. if he moved 2 Bridgestone (as it was ok for rossi to spit his dummy out last year & get them) Honda and danny gave michelin another year (they are the only reason michelin are still in GP's) and they have failed again after the first 6 races they are WELL behind BS. What more does he need to do, and what is the point circulating around a track you won't race on for another 12 months to test a tyre you wont use on a bike you wont ride again and risk getting injured?.

IMOP Nakano has the factory bike because Repsol are using him to get factory data on BS tyres for next year.. Mc will not be in it and it is there fault. Danny is a true racer of old & I applaud him and his honesty!!
