MOTOGP » Rossi needs Le Mans for Mugello 100th.

No of course not TAG, it is not only about statistics, though numbers back up Rossi. It is more like over a decade of great racing, competing against the top of the top, the very best, and always being in the fight for top places. With the likes of: Abe, Barros, Bayliss, Biaggi, Capirossi, Criville, Elias, Gibernau, Hayden, Lorenzo, Mccoy, Melandri, Pedrosa, Roberts Jr, Stoner, Tamada, Ukawa, and Vermeulen who are riders with wins since 2000. PD. Table is not mine, it's MotoGP's very own.

I consider Rossi the GOAT, and based on MotoGP statistics they concur: H t t p : / / resources.motogp.com/files/results/xx/2009/JPN/MotoGP/table5.pdf

MOTOGP » Sepang - Free practice times (2).

@Randall. Puig must be thinking that now there are only 2 Hayden’s races left with Honda, his ‘data’ would be NO good for Pedrosa… or was it the other way around? I am confused! (Not really, Puigs just craps on and on).

MOTOGP » Rossi remains motivated.

After FP1… Rossi, Rossi, Rossi! Ok, and Lorenzo too!

MOTOGP » Hayden: Puig runs Repsol Honda.

I am not on Puig’s side by any means, I do not like him at all. I do not think Pedrosa is any promised rider that Repsol backs up so much. I think these news are totally biased, mainly in this site, all flowers to one side and all the dirt to the other. I did not think Honda could sink anymore, but they did. Therefore, the best news out of it is going to be that, in order to recover market lost, Honda needs the best of products in a very competitive price, meaning that we, the fans, somehow have to benefit because after all we are also the consumers of all Bike related matters, including MotoGP.

MOTOGP » Puig blasts Hayden.

WHAT? Since Rossi’s departure, Repsol buying, and Puig’s/Pedrosa’s promise to nowhere… I did not think Honda would keep sinking anymore: then again, I was wrong!

MOTOGP » Phillip Island - Qualifying times.

"every race is started with a grid of reverse championship order"... So that system leaves Eduards in position as usual, now would not even move for Qs, plain old mid pack! Rossi could pull out the one where he fell at Qatar (just before Sete's curse), from last to win. Would like to see it, one of the few thing left for him to achive!

MOTOGP » Stoner ready in the dry, honoured.

"‘We’ was too young to watch Wayne race but ‘We’ have seen the videos and ‘We’ grew up watching Mick. They both inspired a never-say-die attitude in ‘Us’ that has been crucial in ‘Our’ career”… "There were times in the not-too-distant past when ‘We’ thought that being world champion was an impossible dream but that attitude helped to make it possible. ‘That and a great team, great bike and great tyres!’…

MOTOGP » Phillip Island - Free practice times (2).

I do not know, from the commentaries seems to me that, now that the Championship is over, the only way to make it look ok is to bash the one underneath to try and lift a bit of the pieces. Melandri’s bashing is not new, but all of the sudden his situation became relevant, all this was defined a couple of races ago, what is new? I will like to see how this phenomenon goes if the runner up spot changes in the last races.
