MOTOGP » Rossi concedes after worst run since 2000.

It takes a true champion to conceded as Rossi has, This shows qualities of the Man, and the Racer. It merely a matter of time for Yamaha and Michelin to get it together since the 800 came along. the direction they went is was wrong and this is a combination of errors on the part of the Factory. They are the ones who make the product. the 990 era gave the factories tons of data to work from,it has been minimal data for the 800. So give these Duacati boyz their props and let's return to the constructive comments about the sport, the realities that Rossi is obviously facing and correcting as we speak. The Man took the 990 Yamaha after switchng from Honda and proved his gift, skill and tech

WSBK » Hodgson's international career over?

Well I have met him at Fontana while testing with James Ellison before Leguna. In 06 Ellison and crew parked in the garage next to us Team KNEE DEEP. I must say meeting James was the best time that I had all the day's that I did track time with fasttrak at Fontana. He was very friendly and had time between session to give us some tip's and friendly conversation. As for Neil he was nothing like the comments state that he was like he too took time to speak to us and give us tip's as well as ride behind some of us to give us help so whatever ya'll think of him it's not true. Besides no one know s what provoked any of the comments that supposedly he said and we all took pics

MOTOGP » Rossi: Progress at last!

A True champion never concedes nor quits, Rossi and crew are at it again adds a little expectation to the rest of the season. Could this had been staged? One could play with that idea only because the sport was getting rather predictable. With this kind of money would it be possible to go through this to create a stir for the lack of a better word. With all the up and coming talent would Rossi finally have a chance to prove that he is the greatest of all time, sure looks like he proved it amongst the old guard sete,max,cappi,barros,checaetc next year is going to be one of the greatest season's of the MOTOGP history HEY GANG JUST A THOUGHT TO HEAR SOME OTHER FEEDBACK FOR conversation eh

MOTOGP » Rossi: We have two choices.

he got a good package to begin with so still hasn't shown champion qualities on anything yet. Rossi took the M1 from nothing his first year and made something with it check your history books my man

yungbullet, rather than make a comment like that think about what you are saying? So Stoner with his life on the line did not know how to tune what he was riding customer bike or not he is considered one of the best so the owner who wasn't going to ride the bike would not let him tune it right miss me buddy make sense buddy any bike I am riding I make my own choices cause I am riding it. Trev 250 are tuned,developed and ridden much different than a motogp bike key word you said almost beat Pedrosa but he didn't, fact is twice Pedrosa won the championship get it right bud before you speak. You show your true colors 2 different leagues

Stoner has yet to prove himself overall, yes he is presently taking the championship lead, ever heard of a ONE HIT Wonder? A champion carries poise,charisma and character all of which has yet to be proven by Stoner. Taking nothing from him on his stellar riding this year he too has workED all of his younger years racing and honing his skills to get to this level, the one question I ask you is this. At LRC last year he did not develop the bike (Honda) like Vale took the YAMAHA to win anything. That to me is a true CHAMPION ONE WHO DEVLOPS AND TAKE A HORRIBLE BIKE FROM OBSCURITY INTO THE HISTORY BOOK AS ROSSI SO MISS ME WITH YOUR RHETORIC ABOUT ROSSI BEING DONE

MOTOGP » Rossi: We have two choices.

cont'd from above anymore Rossi has been riding all his life that's all he knows, Yamaha and Rossi/crew are simply going through some teething problems like all the other teams went through and are going too go through...So please THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION BEFORE YOU TYPE A COMMENT MAKE SURE THEY ARE INTELLIGENT REMARKS NOT YOUR PERSONAL BASHING CAUSE YOU AIN'T OUT THERE DOING WHAT THEIR DOING AND PROBABLY COULD NEVER RIDE THESE BIKES TOO HALF THEIR POTENTIAL. jUST LIKE THE GUY WHO WAS TRYING TO COMPARE TIRES BOUGHT OF THE SHELF VS. MOTOGP TIRES YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE TWO DA....WE GET A DERIVATIVE OF THAT TECHNOLOGY

MOTOGP » Rossi: We have two choices.

it is sad to read some of the comments posted, many of the neg. comments don't seem to be well thought through. What needs to be realized that the technology that yamaha is embarking on is kinda late in the season, cause what they thought they had turned out to be the wrong direction. Now they are making an effort to change course at end of the season so for one I applaud them. just a few years ago Yamaha was the bike that was on top evolution of the other teams was expected. These bikes are works of art and must be thought,worked through that's why they are called prototypes you cannot buy these off the show room floor. life is a cycle you don't wake up one morning and you can't ride

MOTOGP » Rossi pleasantly surprised.

I agree to the last post A champion is not only the trophies or the championships won at the end of the year or years...????, It also consist of character, personality and showmanship I call it cha cha, that something you can't really be taught it's something you are born with. Rossi for me has shown all of these qualities as one package throughout his career. He's very entertaining to watch, taking nothing from stoner he's very blah even after a win. Rossi makes it very entertaining during the race and after. He has handled the press very well even when they made public his so called tax issues, again he has handled that very professionally and charismatically. Mark of a true champion

MOTOGP » Rossi unsure.

cont'd for ducati so never say never. HI I changed my forum name from Martin Waples to twissta because I can, just like Rossi can still win the championship might not be the way he'd like too but still a champion. He's capable of making mistake like Stoner did his first couple of yrs. so what it's the nature of the sport. Rossi/JB/Yamaha are at work believe to fix the problem you can bank on that because it's the challenge that motivates these guy's the MONEY follows......Big Money invested, big returns (sales) for the sponsors so in parting look at all the variables before you make ridiculous comments and so what if he doesn't win he's still a champion in my book
