With just two races under his belt since joining forces with Bridgestone, the primary focus for Rossi and his crew remains 'merging' the YZR-M1 with its new Japanese rubber.
Rossi built again his own confidence after Jerez. Now it' s time to boost his performance as it happened at the past.
Great rider and sometimes expectations push him stressing!...
I hope that bridgestone can not play any negative role on his championship chance? At least he is equal on tyre with Casey!...

Where are the Rossi fans? Let' s talk about if Bridgestone will any effect his championship or not?
After F1, a new tyre is just in front of the door! The same story is repeating again like F1?
Hot track means Michelin users have most advantage by using soft tyre? Cold track means Bridgestone users have most advantage by using medium tyre? Or just opposite?

for me Bridgestone in Rossi's hands will do the same as '08 Michelin but red cap doesn't fit to Rossi...he's good with blue/yellow/black/green

My main reason to watch MotoGp is Rossi and his shows on & off track!!!

In terms of the subject of this post, the B-stones related to Rossi's M1, as most of us know it takes awhile to learn the habits of new tires to your bike or adapt your bike to the tires. It appears that with Rossi's second place in Spain that he's getting up to speed with the tires. However, the caution is that his team doesn't have Bridgestone tire data for their bike on each track. They need to develop this data at each race weekend. While tires are part of the concern the other is getting more power for their bike and getting their bike to preserve tires throughout the race. Once they get these elements together I'm sure Rossi can get back to winning races.

well Marc, some thoughtful insight into motorcycling... much more worthy of my attention than someone attracted by the colorful package, without which MGP should be abandoned... thank you

Rossi plays Russian roulette with Bridgestone!... Last year he thought that his main rival was Casey but when all the possibilities checked this year he should add Pedrosa and Lorenzo surprise?...
If he loses championship to Casey, the problem will not be tyres. But against Pedrosa or Lorenzo, Michelin can play more role!...
Anyway I agree with the guys, MotoGP is mostly worthy to watch him.

Watch Bridgestone start to develop tyres for Rossi when he starts to win races Cassy will be left to run the Rossi developed tyres like it or lump it it will look a lot better for Bridgestone if they have back to back championship wins on to different bike with two different riders.

"I agree with the guys"- no %^&*!- you are the same person using 4 different call signs... too tricky for me... if you used different smilies, and changed your accent, I'd have never guessed

Where are the rossi fans? find one and you will find them all ;) like a flock of sandpit sheep! checkout the chest beating over on the "100th rossi podium" thread, the fair weather sheep crowd generally will be in fine song for the next week or so?---- Too funny you would reckon he was the first clown to climb Everest
