MotoGP rookie Andrea Dovizioso exceeded his own high expectations for his Laguna Seca debut, when the young Italian not only snatched fifth in the championship from Colin Edwards - but also finished as the top Honda and Michelin rider.
but don't forget that Nicky also beat him in the trainings and Pole qualifications. Nicky did okay in my opinion. He is a dirt tracker and still is a top 5 among international talented riders. "Congratulations Nicky! You're improving a lot with the 800s. We love you! stay positive, you are my rider number 1, and always will be my rider #1 no matter what they say, you're a great rider. God Bless You!

If there is any justice in the world, Dovi will get the Repsol seat for 2009.
Dovi rider that has most impressed me, tho im not suprised. his smart, smooth style was clear on the 250 honda. he has built up to the results, rather than tried to blow everyone away like lorenzo did. to which sadly he is now paying for.

Go nicky!!
you have no clue !!
1) How many times has hayden been to laguna seca. ?
2) How many times has dovi been to laguna seca.?
3) Who's on a FACTORY HONDA.? who is not.?
Beaten by a non factory honda rider on his debut ride at laguna say's it all.
It is about time hayden moved back to AMA and let more talented riders show what a factory honda can do with a good rider on it !!!
bye nicky you had your chance don't let the door hit you in your **** mate lol

Did you even read the article about the tyre situation? Dovi had the right tyre saved and the right set for it.
Why the hate on Hayden when Tech 3 beats JL, you don't moan. When Suzuki or Kawasaki get beat by the Honda satellites you don't moan. When everyone beats Melandri everytime on the factory duc, you don't moan.
Oh, and Hayden did show what the factory Honda could do with a good rider on it in 2006, then HRC made a bike for the factory team's home countryman - Pedrosa.
face it, Hayden will have a championship and your un-named "more talented rider" does not yet. please, name names of the talent that will do better than Hayden next year.

It's all fine, Hayden will go to Ducati and beat whoever replaces him next season, badly. Honda never supported him properly, even the season he won the championship for them they seemed to play against him.
There's no doubt that Dovi deserves the factory Honda - also his style will suit a bike that has been designed for Pedrosa. Hayden will suit the Ducati, he can just give it full beans halfway around each corner and let the electronics do the rest, just like Stoner does

Dovi and Pedrosa in the same team at HRC would be an awesome sight. (That's going to have Ducati rattled in 2009 for sure).
Great news, though. Stoner can complain about Dovi's unfair racing when Dovi overtakes him at Laguna next year along with Lorenzo.
I imagine the hat wearing Italian will give him a far less courteous response than Rossi did!

"Dovi and Pedrosa in the same team at HRC would be an awesome sight."
sounds like the makings of a politcal nightmare. Bring it ON!!!

Dovi proving good half way through the season. And with a rakish Camden style in hats! Fair play.
I think Nicky should up and leave Honda. Even when he was wearing the no.1 plate honda still made a bike to suit dani. Yea Dovi did really well and i think he's an exellent rider but ill feel sorry for him going into the factory team 'cause even if he does better than Dani, Pedrosa's still the golden child in the eyes of honda. Dovi's gonna get treated the same way as Nicky. Nicky on a ducati next year please
