What a crock of shit!!! It's harder for the lil fellas to turn the bike at high speed etc, so it all balances out. Funny also that it's not like the smallest guy has been winning all the titles either.

Is this a new request from Rossi, or was he asking for this while he was winning championships?

Makes no difference in my opinion. It's a load of shit that should be laughed off.

I really like this blog...

Yeah. Bit sick of hearing about Rossi's shoulder though...

Sounds more like you're sick of hearing about Rossi full stop.

Nah...I love watching the guy race. More at the front dicing the merrier.Sounds more like you're sick of hearing about Rossi full stop.
Never, never give in.
Quote: "Whenever Casey Stoner hears of the need for development work on the Ducati, the - now - Repsol Honda rider takes obvious delight in pointing out that this was the machine he won three of the last six races of 2010 on, the 2011 bike being virtually identical to the Desmosedici GP10 machine"
And why would he not?
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

And the Honda is virtually the same beast they finished 2010 with too I believe...And why would he not?

So haven't you guys been reading anything?
It's all about the fuel allowances, Simoncelli's bike has cut power before the end of the race to conserve fuel. That gives the midgets a big advantage.
Even Stoner is on record as wanting the fuel alolowance increased to 24L.
"Stoner also decried the electronic controls, saying that he spent most of his time working on electronics setup rather than anything else on the bike. When asked if that was due to the fuel limits, Stoner said they definitely played a part, and he was vehement that the current limits had no part in racing. "Why do we have these limits again?" Stoner asked, posing a rhetorical question which is echoed by the vast majority of MotoGP fans. His solution was simple, clear, and vociferous: "Give us 24 liters!" he demanded, but the MSMA seem currently disinclined to listen." This from Motomatters

Pedrosa had his Honda do it last year too due to an era. I don't think Stoner is moaning about Dani's weight...more about the bikes should be allowed as much fuel as they want from a power point of view. Another thing Stoner has said, is that he thinks it's tough on Dani mid corner from a traction point of view. So Like I say...it all balances out.So haven't you guys been reading anything?

Last thing we need is another fucking rule fucking with the sport. There's always been size differences...but not many people moan about it.

I agree with the sentiment but if they dropped the fuel restriction, currently 21 L IIRC, there would be one less rule and the playing field would be more level.
Something of a worry - Dorna have engaged more experts, hopefuly not to help with new rules but...
