MOTOGP » Dovizioso: I think I can play up front.

Rossi rode a works Honda

MOTOGP » Ducati confident of Le Mans challenge.

If Melandri has finally found his form, he could finish in front of Stoner this weekend (that''ll be the kiss of death for him then :rolleyes

MOTOGP » Rossi 'had his big chance to go to F1'.

A1. I understand what you meant the first time. Your comments would be far more valid if directed at the people you are defending. I could post a general slagging to any group of people and get a "good" response. This doesn't make it a good discussion, just a game of tennis.

MOTOGP » Rossi 'had his big chance to go to F1'.

Yes A1. But, doesn't your comment work both ways? And when does "pulling the legs of spiders" represent discussion"

WSBK » Bayliss out to maintain advantage.

Bayliss said he was quietly confident at Assen also. I guess the others should be worried then.

MOTOGP » Smith column: Totally gutted.

Shame Bradders. The champioship is probably over now but wins are still there for the taking. The guys got the speed he just needs to cool down a bit. Three poles from four races don''t happen by accident. Unfortunately the accidents happen in the races. Le Mans should be a good one for him. Gooooo Bradders.

MOTOGP » Wet warm-up times - Shanghai.

Well "tax evader" (see first post). One out of three ain't bad. I guess the other two got mixed up between the back and the front of the grid What do they say about pride coming before a fall?

MOTOGP » Free practice times (combined) - Shanghai.

I will put money on Nakano having a Q tyre in for his fastest lap. Hi next fastest lap was nowhere near.

MOTOGP » Stoner: We're back in control.

Chu. What would be the point of giving Melandri a slow bike?

MOTOGP » Stoner: We're back in control.

Why would Ducati give Marco an inferior bike? They want to win the manufactures title also. A second fast rider would help develop the bike also. Marco simpy isn't riding the bike fast enough. I don't know why but the fact remains that Stoner is the only one yet who can ride that bike. Take a look at the difference in lean angle from Stoner to Marco. Melandri looks like he is on an out lap. I like Marco and thought he would take the fight to Stoner this year but it ain't gonner happen. If anything he is getting slower. Marco is fast but fragile mentally (IMO)and this bike and Stoners speed is not helping at all.
