Since you asked Bob… Stonner was on Michelins in 2006, when did he helped develop Brigestones? He simply inherited them into last years' Championship. There you go, it was easy!

You just do not understand a “feeling with its bike” and a bit of humor do you? :? Although at my level of bike riding (road and track) and for most mortals, it does seem like Magic! Go Rossi! Sala-gadoola-menchicka-boo-la Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo It'll do magic believe it or not Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Now I cannot be happy because Rossi is doing fine ?

2000 Demon Vimto Honda 1 Rider Emerson Honda Pons 2 Riders Maxon Dee Cee Jeans 1 Rider Nastro Azzurro Honda 1 Rider Queroseno Racing Team 1 Rider Repsol YPF Honda Team “3” Riders Sabre Sport 1 Rider Tecmas Honda Elf 1 Rider 2001 Arie Molenaar Racing 1 Rider Dee Cee Jeans Racing Team 2 Riders Nastro Azzurro Honda 1 Rider Repsol YPF Honda Team 2 Riders Shell Advance Honda 2 Riders West Honda Pons 2 Riders). A lot have had “Preferential treatment” from Honda up to date and it does not mean “Factory Team” (like Nakano today). In Rossi's case, it meant a grand shaped Team, still a “Satellite”!

More Record’s: Rossi winning the Championship (edited, sorry) would mean 74 total in all categories for Italy, 19 in 500cc and MotoGP, six (almost 1/3) of which would belong to him. In addition, being a ‘Satellite Team’ Championship winner (2001) and matching Agostini 68 wins makes it all very interesting. Not a ‘single tyre rule’ please, just let Michelin bring as many tyres to a race as they want, even a night before the race, keep competition on!

There is no way that Honda had 3 (2000) or 4 (2001) Factory Teams, Stop lying about it. In 2000, Repsol YPF Honda Team and Emerson Honda Pons had 3 and 2 Riders respectively, either was the Factory Team. In 2001, Repsol YPF Honda Team, Shell Advance Honda, West Honda Pons and Dee Cee Jeans Racing Team had 2 Riders each, any was the Factory Team. So yes, Rossi rode on a Satellite Team 2 consecutive years. 2000 was second and 2001 was a Champion on a “Satellite Team”. Please get your Stats right.

Let’s see, in 2000 there were no less than 8 Honda Teams on the grid (Demon Vimto Honda 1 Rider, Emerson Honda Pons 2 Riders, Maxon Dee Cee Jeans 1 Rider, Nastro Azzurro Honda 1 Rider, Queroseno Racing Team 1 Rider, Repsol YPF Honda Team “3” Riders, Sabre Sport 1 Rider, Tecmas Honda Elf 1 Rider). In 2001, there were no less than 6 Honda Teams (Arie Molenaar Racing 1 Rider, Dee Cee Jeans Racing Team 2 Riders, Nastro Azzurro Honda 1 Rider, Repsol YPF Honda Team 2 Riders, Shell Advance Honda 2 Riders, West Honda Pons 2 Riders). cont.

No Grim, I was not having a dig. I admire Rossi as a rider, on the other hand I try to dig at stats (even if everyone interprets them to their likings too). In fact, I may have written a couple of translating mistakes: ESP means España = Spain.

Go back to Tyre manufactures being able to bring as many tyres as they wanted, that ‘limiting amount of tyres’ rule messed it all up. Go back to 990cc, more now that 600cc are coming in, that ‘reduce capacity’ rule messed it all up. Go back to not use TC for everything, that ‘control everything from pits’ rule messed it all up. Simply get rid of D*rna’s decisions.

Of course, Honda is pressing a ‘One Tyre’ rule, they saw their chances fade, and they had become spoiled brats years ago, that is biting back. In addition, where does this puts Pedrosa in his fans point of view? Fans make the Sport, no point Competing if none watches or buys. I think his tripping repeatedly.
