Hayden fastest - with the 'wrong' bike!

It's about time Nicky started to speak up a little. Maybe he now realises that his future no longer lies with this manufacturer. Honda have never had faith in him and they now seem to have lost direction. Grasping at straws with six weeks to the off is not good news.

Good job Nicky, even if it is a Q tire.
He put in a ton of laps this week.

Also glad to see Hopper as the quickest bridgestone rider.

It's a little bit surprising Honda is no longer the expert engine maker it once was, with several competitors already having developed their pneumatic engines to a high degree and running with little problems.

Rossi LOL

Rossi Fans LMFAO

Ominous that they can't make an engine decision so shortly before the start of the season,
hope they can work it out. Hope Nicky gets what he deserves ;)

"Hooray! Hooray! its a Horay! Horay! day" - Fantastic news to see Horay kicking clown butt - the futures bright and its not yellow. Clown set to become the new Hayden of Yamaha - too funny, now lets get my stick sharpened, poke! poke! hear the groupies squeel! Lovin it! Lovin it! Lovin it!

Oh boy... seems like Marty's multiple personalities taking over ;) ;)

It's spelt Jorge. That's JORGE ;)

I bet other teams wish they had Honda's problem. Sorted chasis, which can accept either the old powerfull 2007 engine or the all new loads of potential 2008 engine. Plus they have two of the fastest riders on the grid. Some problem!
Oh dear Valentino; out ridden by your rookie team mate. Similar to F1 last year re Alonso and Hamilton?

I try not to read too much into test times because they are going over so many details that the times are not going to reflect the true potential.

It will be interesting to see which direction Honday/Yamaha and the others follow as far as engine development.

One thing is for sure...Ducati has always been the most powerful bike on the grid so one has to think that at some point the desmo valve will lead to new ways of thinking when it comes to engine design.

Guess we'll see what happens when the flag drops...at night!

Hayden - fast on qualifiers - I'm yawning already. 26 laps at record pace on race tyres may be interesting. I confidently predict a worse year than last. Still it IS MotoGP so he can't be worse than 19th.

My applogies for the inaccurate crap I have just posted. What I really meant to say is the sad old Kentucky Fried Turkey can't be worse than 18th.
Sorry.
Death to the Evil Empire (Hon**)

Where oh where has Rossi gone, where or where could he be...

Is this now the learning disability forum?

Surely you lot don't think Lorenzo going to beat Rossi come race day do you its just not going to happen.This is just testing there doing alsorts not really able to compare times.

I have been a Honda rider all my life, but lately, I just don't understand Honda. They by far have the biggest budget, the most engineers, and the largest R&D facility in MotoGP, but they just can't seem to get their act together. Last year the bike was total crap, but they claim the tires were partly to blame. This year they bring a totaly new bike, but the engine that was made for the bike does not perform as well as last year's engine......even still, the bike goes faster on the old engine which the chasis was not built for......what the heck! Have they become that disfunctional. For the most part, they have been getting their ***** kicked in most other racing sanctions.

SoCal

Dani is a friendly colleque, Nicky must be very pleased by the way he was "complimented"

What surprise and dilemma. ¿does hayden continue using spring operated valve engine? or wait an improve pneumatic operated.
Therefore risking suffer troubles performance and slow down evolution of bike 08

Kees, Crash failed to mention the other part of the interview where regarding Nicky being left to develop the bike alone, Dani says, "he has been in charge of developing a machine for a long time and traditionally it hasn't gone so well..." Maybe thats why a bike designed for Dani but developed by Nicky didn't do so well. Maybe Dani should get off his diva ***.

I have read that Will, It is ironical mented, anyway he doesn't make friends this way..
