MOTOGP » Pedrosa fast on Bridgestones, pneumatic

Tom...
didn't people say exactly the same thing when Rossi moved to the Japanese rubber?
didn't team KR switch engines mid season? no one said anything cos they didn't threat anyone!!!!
don't get me wrong i don't like Dani at all i met him at the Misano test and he was sour then ever!!! you should see the photo i took with him it looks like he is going to cry.
i just think that a team need to do whatever it can to make sure their rider has the best chance to win races.
and i think the reason no one "Rossi" changes suppliers mid season is cos of lack of testing and adapting time...

Alaywa, you are as full of crap as Saran, you should just **** off now.
Crash.net, is there a way I can auto delete posts from these two ******s?

Alaywa, I wouldn't like to read that you are getting her to hate Valentino or any other rider.
As for watching Casey ride into the sunset, that would be good to watch as much as any other race.

Saran,

I have not bashed you. I stated a fact that you bash Nicky Hayden. You do it in every thread you possibly can, which makes it a norm for any thread on crash.net. You go above and beyond to drag his name through the mud with every chance you can get. I assume (bad word I know) that you are still bitter from 2006. If I were to call you blubbering idiot with your head up your ass, that would be bashing. See the difference?

I do not bet on races, but if I did it still wouldn't be on Rossi, or Hayden. I'm sure this hurts your feelings in some way since I would not bet on Rossi, and I'm sure you'll come back with how foolish I would be for not, so I'll save you the time.

i really like the way you made MotoGp a family thing as that is another thing the family can relate to and spend quality time together.
last year my wife surprised me with two Yamaha grandstand tickets to the Misano race.
she even told me that she loves me so much she is willing to come and spend all day with me even that she cant relate at all to MotoGP.
after spending a great day out on the way home she told me that we have to do it again.
since then we make it a habit to watch the races together and to go to as many races a year as possible.

boolbool seems to understand...we (the fam) all get into the racing, and it's not just racing its "battling" and whether you see it or not there are "good guys" and "bad guys" to root for, reasons we pick our heros, and role models and to a lesser extent just the rider on the day to support. Good characters irrespective of speed deserve support. If you watch the documentary Torndado, Doctor and the Kentucky Kid you will see Haydon admit he doesn't want to be the paddock playboy, which is a problem I used to have with him back in his AMA days. At least now as a family, we can support him without passing on bad values accidently. As I said, Stoner fits the "vallain" role quite well ATM.

On the plus side for Stoner...he does have his wife with him all the time, and she is always keen to hand back his ring and make sure he puts it on, and to be a young man like that on top of the world and stay loyal to your woman, when you could theoretically be a playboy about it, it admirable. So...I'm not aalllllll "Stoner hater".

alaywa.last year we also went to the test the day after the race in Misano.
we met Stoner and tried to get a word with him but he blow us off took his wife on the scooter and went back to his motor home.
after about an hour or so we saw him coming with his wife to the Ducati hospitality area where he blow of some more fans.(some of them were young kids)
since then my wife really HATES him and thinks he is a Ahole.
when he crashed on Sunday she was cheering with joy not because it gave Rossi the lead but cos she really dose not like his behavior. and that's from a woman who really doesn't know anything else about him.
me i don't really hate anyone on the grid i think they are all great.

Not that I wish to get back on topic or anything but....Personally I think Dani will be a quicker straight away and it's not got a lot to do with the tyres. I think Dani may have got it into his head that he can't win with Michelin, whether he could or not, because he'd lost confidence in them. Clearly Lorenzo got them sorted on Sunday but Dani didn't seem to want to push them. Now he's got what he wanted, the confidence will be back to push harder on tyres he has faith in so I expect him back up the front again. That said, this exact reason is the same one that means I can't see him ever putting it all together over a season for a MotoGP title. Just my two cents...

I think when we say hate, we probably mean dislike, but hate is a quick to hand common expression often over-used. But I agree, no one wants to see the guy hurt, so when he slides out softly softly, it seems fair justice or "karma", and really that's what we are cheering for...restored justice. We all do it, we all pick our favs and only one can win, so by wishing victory for one, u wish a loss for another, just a fair loss. As fans we research and even chat on forums to assess who is worthy of our support, we don't just arbitrarily pick anyone. It suprises me the level of personal attacks and curses thrown around by some people however. Pedrosa is due for some justice I figure! PV+BS!
