Hayden was fastest of all at Sepang last week, using qualifying tyres and the standard (2007) engine specification inside the 2008 chassis, but stuck exclusively to race tyres on the opening day in Australia, in which he was ranked eighth fastest - and over a second behind the best race tyre lap of the day, set by reigning world champion Stoner.
I very much doubt it - Pedrosa assumes that the motoGP wc is his by birthright and that he the greatest rider on the planet. So naturally he blames everyone else for his personal failure.
Nicky - the hardest working man in MotoGP. Just about every track he puts in more laps than anyone else. if that isn't a good sign of development, i don't know what is.
Dani just likes to blame others for his faults and shortcomings.
Working Hard is not necessary working in the right direction, and eitherway Dani is the number 1 HRC rider, so all the work Nicky does will simply go to making sure Dani can win...notice that HRC are testing both engines still alot, and guess which one Dani prefers versus the one Nicky prefers...?

Maybe he needs to ad some red bull in the fuel of the Honda, to get the speed he required..
Nicky seeus a nice guy, but everytime I hear him interviewed Im reminded of Jeff Foxworthy on his "You Might Be A Redneck" comedy CD ... I quote "Coz apparently the southern accent's not the worlds most intelligent sounding accent ..."
So much for development of that Honda ... no wonder little Dani is worried!

-Dice That was a really racist thing to say about "southern people". Thats like saying all Italians are arrogant jerks since Biaggi is an arrogant jerk. Not cool at all!!!
As for Nicky, i hope he proves all you arm chair critics wrong. Hes a hard worker and smarter then u think, he didn't become the AMA and MotoGP champ by being stupid. Besides Repsol must like him when they gave him a 2yr extension on his contract.
As for the angry smurf, his "development" skills ain't to good either. We all see how well the 07 "Dani" RCV did. It was SO GOOD that Honda introduced a completely NEW bike for 08.
So much for Pedros's "development" skills. what a joke!
Hes still an arrogant little douche!

Gee Dumman1098R, u hav a helluva sense of humour ... u must be real fun at a party, always reaching for the "racist" card. That is such a cliche these days ... besides, I didnt insult his race did I (unless u believe 'southerners' are a race on their own?) ... now if ur called me a geographicalist or summing it might be a diff story ...
Get the joke ... I said he seems a nice guy, & I actually like him as a rider ... go listen to Jeff Foxworthy (who is 'southern' comedian) & call him a racist since I quoted him.
& that 2yr extention ... learn the politics of sport. Having a rider from ur biggest market makes good business sense, then u back a really fast little Spanish rider to win races.

honda seems to believe in dani more than nicky ... nicky should to go kawasaki, they would really appreciate his input
Biaggi is a fast little Italian rider and see what happened to him. The angry smurf is quickly getting a bad reputation like Biaggi. Let not forget that he was a 250 champ and won lots of races too but Honda still gave him the boot and black balled him because of his arrogance.
Colin hasn't won a race yet but he is still well respected and popular as ever.
In this case character can carry u alot farther then wins, BUT let not forget, No matter how he did it, Nicky is STILL a motogp champ and only 1 of 3 motogp champs still riding. The angry smurf hasn't done that yet no matter how good he thinks he is.
Hes still and arrogant little **** for dissing his partner.

Dice- If I remember correctly, both Yamaha and Ducati wanted to sign Hayden. what people forget is that the guy has talent and work ethics. Like it or not, he was the first guy to take the championship away from Rossi. It doesn't matter what "what if's" people bring up.Bottom line was, It was up to Rossi or Him winning the race at Valencia at the end of the year and we all know what happened... although the Rossi fans still won't admit he choked. I wish he would have gone to Ducati, anything to get away from that little "enano" who seems to be the only "teamate" dissing his partner.
I was trying not to "generalize" Rossi fans as requested... that's why I try not to be a "fanatic" of any team, racer or any of the sort. I appreciate the racing for what it is,a fun sport to watch. This way, I am never in a bad mood when my team loses or does badly. I do get tired of the bashing that racers get from other racers' fans.
