MOTOGP » Form man Vermeulen eyeing Brno boost.

so your saying that Barros and all the press are lying?
don't you think that maybe the Ducati team made a mistake and they wont admit to it?
do you really think that Silvan or Toni were a better choice???

MOTOGP » Capirossi set to make history at Brno.

look what happened to Ducati this year the bike didn't work as well, but they couldn't pinpoint the problem it took them half a season and lots of test hours, and why is that?? cos all the team except Stoner were new riders that still need to find there way around the Ducati problems...
if Loris,Barros or Any other experienced MotoGP rider was in the team they already had the championship in sight.

MOTOGP » Capirossi set to make history at Brno.

JoeKing...
Suzuki didn't sign Loris to win the championship...
they took him to find a direction of development in order to make the bike a winner!!!
take JT for example, he is a very experienced and talented rider the reason they teamed him up with Colin is to help him find his way in MotoGP. JT and his team were chasing there tail all weekend until they took Colin's setup and the bike worked better.
the same with Suzuki. do you think that a new rider in MotoGP as talented that he is can get along by himself without an experienced Teammate? every time Suzuki changes a part on the bike all the setup needs to change and that's where the "old" experienced rider comes in advantage.

MOTOGP » Capirossi set to make history at Brno.

joeKing you are full of you know what!!!!
are:Andrea Dovizioso, Anthony West, Chris Vermeulen, Colin Edwards, John Hopkins, Alex de Angelis, Randy de Puniet, Marco Melandri, Toni Elias, James Toseland, Sylvain Guintoli, Jorge Lorenzo, Nicky Hayden, Shinya Nakano "title contenders"?
lets just wach Stoner Race Rossi and sour-face and save millions to MotoGP.

do you remember what happened to Barros after beating Stoner in Italy???
do you think Chris wants to be told in what place to finish???
and that is if he can control the beast... Chris is more of a old school rider not like his countryman the high-tech racer...

MOTOGP » Form man Vermeulen eyeing Brno boost.

you guy really think Chris will go to Ducati and settle for playing second fiddle for Stoner???? are you guys serious "Stoner wants a good back up for next year and knows Chris from the old dirt track days and will put in a good word for him "
what do you think its the neighborhood's football team?
this is MotoGP... riders/teams want the best and will do the best to win.
Chris is the No.1 man in Suzuki these days, wherever he goes he will become No.2
and I'm sure that's the last thing he wants,i hope he doesn't do what his stupid ex teammate did throwing his career down the drain and moving to Kawa just after starting to get results on the bike...

MOTOGP » Masao Furusawa (Yamaha): Q&A.

"I have a huge respect for him. He is the genius behind the bike."
can u imagine something like this coming out of Honda people?????
it just shows how deep and real is the relationship the riders/teams have with the factory compared to the one Honda has with its clients.
we lease you pay and say thank-you!!!
i think Dovi has a much better chance getting to the top with a satellite Yamaha then on the factory Honda (as long as the sour-face dwarf and his master) are there.

MOTOGP » Capirossi set to make history at Brno.

GOOOOOO---> Loris
nicest friendliest most experienced rider out there.
good day bad day always has the time for the fans&press
great great guy
i hope his hand will be as close to 100% as possible and that he will find a good setup,and no doubt he will be up there.
all the best

MOTOGP » Dovi not intimidated by Rossi.

A.Long
its not the riders that need a summer break its the teams.
as most of the teams are based in Italy,all Italians shut down in summer.
that means that all factory support will not be available...
summer break is very important for the workers,as you know Ducati team has worked extra days in the test last week,and winter is a very busy time for development in the factories/teams.

MOTOGP » Toseland: WSBK just as hard as MotoGP.

JT was never a dominant rider but he was always consistent!!!
and consistence is what makes champions.
Criville,Roberts JR,Hayden...
and as for saying that he is doing great with the package he has????
if you look the other side of the garage you see the bike can work very well.
i think he is doing very well for his first year he still needs to learn the tracks and how so setup a MotoGP bike, as soon he does I'm sure he will be a regular top six.
Good Luck

MOTOGP » Gibernau piles on more Ducati miles.

trr
no i don't think Melandri is better.(in this case)
i just think that if Ducati want a podium finisher they need to look elsewhere...

and don't forget,if Ducati hire Giberau for the rest of the season the will pay three paychecks,and as you know Ducati does not have so much money behind it...
no one really knows what's going on in Melandri's head whatever it s it's pulling his career down and fast.
i just hope he sorts it out next season on a different bike cos he is a fighter,and his presence is missed in the front.

MOTOGP » Gibernau piles on more Ducati miles.

trr
the only thing Gibernau collected from his 2006 season with Ducati was injuries and metal plates!!!!
if he crashed in the test a sterile environment with no pressure what do you think will happen when faster bikes will pass him on track???

MOTOGP » Gibernau piles on more Ducati miles.

Basta with this Gibernau talks he is a fragile old racing horse that never had that little bit extra to really close the deal!!!
he was really good in some races but somehow he didn't really succeed when it really counted. and that was on the 990 Honda the easy est bike to ride.
on the 990 Ducati Gibernau was average and not more, exactly like the times he is doing in these Ducati tests.
so if you look from Ducati's point of view Gibernau is better then Melandri but i think that Ducati are looking for someone abit more promising then the old Spanish stallion,
unless all they are looking for is a second grade rider that will score team points every race.

MOTOGP » Stoner races himself, sympathy for Rossi.

if you take the total race time take the first lap times off Rossi will still be about 16 sec of the pace!!!
take another tenth or so a lap (cos his bike wasn't 100%) and he still is five to six seconds off Stoner's pace.
im sure if Stoner was pushed he could have dropt his laptime a bit more.
