It is so sad that these young up and coming racers (Stoner, Pedrosa) are pitiful when it really comes down to it. Getting paid millions is just that, to hang it all out well maybe you need to go back and race on a more friendlier atmosphere LiL boy this is the pinnacle of racing if you and your team manager don't like it go HOME this is a big boy sport and if and of you racers out there are sacred of contact, close calls etc... chose another sport this ain't the school play millions of dollars are at stake here so grow up dude or get out cause you can't spook Rossi he's been there done that and got the cookie :D

I can't understand how a MotoGP team wouldn't have such a tech. Since the beginning of the year I've asked for this and Luis D'Antin, the team owner, has just blown me off. It's stupid. I don't, honestly, think that I could always beat Stoner. The kid is very fast and no one could have taken this title from him, but in the preseason tests I was always very close to him, and sometimes even in front of him. But as the races passed, his bike was getting set up better, while mine wasn't. Another thing that was absurd was that I didn't have a spare suspension. Can you imagine a MotoGP team not having a spare front! It doesn't exist. I had two complete bikes and that was that. If I wanted to play around with a setting, I'd have to strip one of the bikes. That just can't be. The comparison to see what is best has to be on the same bike.

Before any of you nay sayers talk about my boy Chaz maybe you should be informed by the guy who rode the bike Alex Barros himself. there is an article on the wsmc unofficial site that will make all of you eat your words for the stupid comments you make. Now this may take a few post's and repost to get the gist of the article so her goes an if you really want to know go sign up for the forum. Q: Your Ducati, when compared to the ones in the official team, is it too different? AB: The bike is the same, but the teams are a different deal. All I have to tell you is that I didn't have a suspension technician. Throughout the season, I suffered with the lack of setup. cont'd

continued from above... I think that we are all going to be surprised with what T3 is going to come out with next year. I believe that Yamaha realizes they will need more than two primary bike to do the development they need done. Now that they have changed directions and are on pace it would be best for them to give T3 the same attention to bring gp back to a level of competitive action even if it's between the teams, like Melandri and Stoner? I am just introducing my idea of what I would like to see in Gp? If they install the tire rule that will free up millions of *** to spread parts much easier among the teams? :? ;) :p

Congratulations to you toe, I think you will do fine with your step up! Now with his back to back wc's he will be on a up swing for next year. He has shown more consistent talent than most who make the move, now he will have to take his time and methodically work his way into the gp arena. no one is going to give him respect and that means he will have to earn. as long as he keep his head about him and try not to prove anything right off, which I think he will he will be a force too reckon with. He brings with him a natural sense of class that I think will attract the likes of many of the super stars in the paddock, Rossi for sure will probably embrace him along with the rest of the team ;)

It is so unfortunate that HRC a world renown company has not given Nicky what he really needs to be competitive, comfortable and the confidence from the higher ups that he deserves. If they take a moment and realize the following this young mans has and the dollars in sales if they would only market him properly. They are fo ;)cused on there dream boy Dani cause of the money he brings and the countries passion for the sport. We know the guy is talented, look at his brothers they have all won championships, so that's not a ? We don't have many young Americans in this sport so let's support him all we can he could feed off our support

Nigel great comment, as always thought through, u to Gromm. My turn to piggyback off of the thoughtless comments. At this level of riding, Rossi to me made the right decision to pit and pit again. His sensitive ability to notice his bike wasn't right led him to make that split second decision to pit. He's paid allot of money per year to ride and develop his bike not to be side lined with injury, besides he knew the wc was out of reach. So therefore it was wiser to stay on two wheels and ride another day which he did and began the development of the 08 M1. Smart decision.. ;) Like they say all money isn't good money, just like all races to risk for are not worth the risk..... :?
