MOTOGP » Rossi unsure.

It is so sad to see people allow this too get personal and bash some of the all time greatest racers to be bashed Stoner, Rossi etc...Let me set the record straight all of these riders esp. Rossi has raced all his life, long before big money came into the picture it's there passion, it just so happens that they are few of many with the honed skills to ride such toys that we all would like to ride someday keep dreaming to get paid the kind of money they do! These bike are not your run of the mill bikes you buy from the dealer....Hello people they are prototypes designed from the floor up..Give ducati,Stoner their props and enjoy..By the way if Stoner perhaps crashes and gets hurt is over

MOTOGP » Stoner czechs out, Rossi struggles.

It's a shame that some of you can't except a true talent and gift that some people have, that have worked hard all their life too achieve and as soon as there is a glitch in the program everyone points fingers. That's the way of this world ! Stoner/Ducati is dong a great job this year and deserves what they are getting. But too totally claim that Rossi is whining, making excuses is absurd. R u riding his bike ? do u know what too look for? None of us can ride at this level so what are you thinking/talking about except speculation. These are million dollar bikes, prototypes never to be manufactured what r u people thinking? this is what makes the sport RD

MOTOGP » Rossi hits rock bottom.

cont'd it's no secret that if the bike ain't right no matter how hard you ride it at there. When the new bike arrives i am sure the same people that are beating me won't have it as easy. My friend let me ride his stock r6 at willow a stock 06 gsxr was giving me hell on my f2 only on the straights not in corners were I was making up time. when we went head to head 06 vs 03 he conceded cause I was faster period and on some what equal playing field so I say that to hopefully give an idea to some who may have no idea of what's involved ride at speed like these Motogp riders on prototype that are not just working right now...it's called race development (RD)

MOTOGP » Rossi hits rock bottom.

Nigel,Peter it is obvious that you have paid attention to the art and technical aspects to this sport, rather than just the statistics that most go on. I happen to do allot of track time at diff. race tracks novice riders are good given the new bikes they are riding, which are very fast,great hp to the rear, I have a 600 f2 91 underpowr'd dinosaur and should be getting my *&^ whooped but i ain't why? I get caught on straights not the corners cause I learned how to set up suspension,learned how to ride on the edge and be comfortable. U learn how to ride around problems to a degree, builds confidence. all to say if that is what it takes at this level much more is required at the gp level

MOTOGP » Rossi hits rock bottom.

To settle some theories mentioned earlier, Rossi left Honda cause they thought it was the bike not the rider he proved that with YAMAHA 1st yr....to my folks who don't understand this level of the sport the ability of the rider to translate data to his tech's and discern what the bike is doing is not a talent that is bought or inherited it is learned over years of training otherwise we all could ride at this level.Take your feelings off your shoulders. Understand the excellence of these riders have shown us None of us know what's going on Politics play an important role with this kind of money at stake. R they all getting the same equipment don't think so!

MOTOGP » Rossi hits rock bottom.

My first ? is How many of you guy's actually race at any level? what does it require for you to be competitive magnify that by 1mx and that's what Mtgp is. These are not run of the mill bike, they r prototype's, what is created on computer's vs what is r 2 different things. These bikes have too work in synergy or they don't work at all or very well. Some problems can be rode around and some can't Rossi has proved that many times! Now, I have said it once and I'll say it again. Ducati got it right ok yamaha is still working on the solution. Rossi did not go into his personal pocket to bring burgess and crew with him for nothing, it was for a reason showing up very soon!!!!

MOTOGP » Good result still possible, insists Rossi.

It goes to show you that people are vultures waiting their chance to sit and dine at what's left over after initial kill.... No body seems to understand this is big business and some get it right and some don't.. give Stoner his due and Ducati Especially cause they struggled for years...and still had die hard fans that supported them...Rossi proved his mark when he left Honda and whooped that #ss on what they thought was a inferior bike, developed it and won several championship's on it back to back so miss me with Rossi is done...... now they having some difficulties making the change over too 800"s I wander if you feel the same if he opens a can of whoop *ss and starts winning again.

MOTOGP » 'Excited' Hayden expecting HRC boost.

at the plant and shipped them to the race and that was it, so that's the rubber that is working cause they have the data. next Each of his Rossi's remarks that I heard were very humble and willfully gave credit to Stoner who rode better and obviously has the package this year that racing or corporate business? Million r at stake here! so let's get is straight Nicky however got the title congratulations it's gone this year regardless of what we want hrc did not give him the help he needed I think he has handles his frustration pretty well and that is a mark of a champion

MOTOGP » 'Excited' Hayden expecting HRC boost.

636 hit it right on the head, last year was a terrible year for Rossi due to mechanical failures except one crash! That's done and gone, As for what you people are calling him whining about tires etc... Is stating fact's that he encountered considered whining? As Rossi mentioned areas that they must improve on,I f you were paying attention last year Michelin was able to build a tire right there on the spot after testing tires, so with that tech. it was very easy to build a tire that would do the job. Michelin has no data like bstone who made tires

MOTOGP » de Puniet, West fight for 2008 seat.

Ok,Ok my bad for caps lock, West really deserves the ride with kawi, Randy cracks under pressure and has not been consistent at all this year as well as the previous years. The shock of not having a seat next year might be the shake up he needs to get it together, West has shown true talent in the short stint that he has had while Randy has had several years. would it be the right time to pull Hayden out of Ama to ride? He's got talent and has been more consistent than his brothers? could he adapt quickly? I think so given more seat time....Kawi's top brass has some decision's to make very soon cause we are already thinking of next year for them and we ain't gettin paid...hahahah
