MOTOGP » Rossi evaluates 2009 rivals.

Note : I am not suggesting Stoner is lying about his wrist but we all know what happens when journalists get hold of info, some of the truth gets slightly stretched! Although it would be no different to the mind games any other rider plays.

MOTOGP » Rossi evaluates 2009 rivals.

Handbags down ladies. Rossi stated that he doesnt think Stoner is in as much pain as suggested in some articles and I tend to agree, and in fairness to Stoner I think the reason it is mentioned so much is because he is asked about it so often. I am a Rossi fan but I dont pay for tickets or tune in on tv to go and watch him cruise around at the front easily. I want to see him doing what he does best, race! Now, you can argue facts all day long between these 2. wins, poles, fastest laps, points, titles, bikes they have had but why are so many people stuck in the past looking for excuses and put downs when we have what could be a blinding season of racing between these 2 and more ahead of us!?

MOTOGP » Canepa plans weight loss for speed gain.

Morgue... im not sure how being a shoe size 44 would cause an issue? thats only about size 8-8.5 uk! I would be very surprised if any rider was below a size 8 except maybe Dani. and lets be honest, if it was that much of an issue they would just make a different lever! i agree he most probably is not as aero friendly as Kallio/Stoner but shoe size will make a difference so small that we probably cant even measure!

MOTOGP » Melandri almost wins on Speedcar debut

So the bike guys are starting to put together a strong case for the argument they have more talent eh! Rossi : Numerous strong appearences in Rally cars and F1. Melandri : showing up F1 WTCC and other established drivers in speedcar... and didnt Stoner make light work of the Ferrari boys in an ice race in karts?! I think the top level bike riders have a better feel for machinary. Well done Marco, i think this car racing stuff is too easy for you, get back to motogp soon!

MOTOGP » Edwards on Toseland: We don't talk anymore

Hey, i like it when the guys speak their mind but not when it makes them look childish, which Colin is very close to doing here! Does anyone KNOW (not read on the internet in an article that some stab in the dark journo has written!) what happened exactly? I dont, i think it takes a fair amount to p!ss CE like that but im not going to drag riders down without actually knowing what happened! how about we scrap court cases and get a jury to just takes a guess at whos innocent and guilty?! Hopefully CE keeps the fire but wises up a bit, he seems like a good bloke and would be a shame for him to spend his season taking cheap shots. JT, you probably heard the gauntlet land! so crack on mate!

MOTOGP » Pedrosa: Why I didn’t want a 'new' Honda.

I can kind of see where Dani is coming from here. Maybe it will hurt him more from the middle to the end of the season though? Still, by the time Honda sorted a bike out last year it was probably 2009 spec!

MOTOGP » Toseland: The biggest accident of my career

Do what dani did and save the team money? yeah... they have only had all their kit taken over to sepang and set up for 3 days, yeah save them the cash once they are already over there and throw away 2 days of testing... didtn they pull Lorenzo from the catalunya race due to concussion? although he was also very beat up as well! the team has an extra 2 days of data to work with. Times aren't hugely important but data is. Would have been good to see him higher on the sheets but sh*t happens eh!

MOTOGP » Toseland: The biggest accident of my career

Didnt realise how big his crash was! hope he recovers quickly, the bang to the head has probably reflected in his times, good to see him still get out and do a bit of work done though.

MOTOGP » Sepang MotoGP test times - Saturday

The times look good! getting close at the front Does anyone know if Rossi managed the race simulation? i hope JT picks it up a bit, big fan of his and I know its early days but he needs to be performing now he has a season under his belt. Come on JT!

MOTOGP » Stoner defies pain to lead day two at Sepang

Donnie Brasco - Totally agree, Barros rode exceptionally well on the customer bike. My post was not to put other riders down, write them off or discredit them just to show, even as a Vale and JT fan and not a stoner fan, can still appreciate how fast he can ride a bike. Also a few points to show hes not a one trick pony and has been fast over 2 seasons, moving into a 3rd. All in all im looking forward to a good season! 18 versions of laguna but with another few riders thrown in the mix?!!?
