I wonder how Dani Pedrosa is feeling? He's had the full backing of Honda for so long, and along comes Stoner who looks like he's gonna win a title at his first attempt on that Honda, that has been beyond Pedrosa.

To me...the weird thing with Honda is...they look like they're gonna give Dovi the boot next year. I would've thought it was better to have a good number 2 rider in your team, rather than a guy that can on occasion beat you're number 1 guy.

Dovi is good enough to podium on a regular basis. So surely having him finish ahead of the other team's best rider to help with points etc would be better than a team mate that takes points off your number one on occasion?

Yeah I agree, unfortunately Pedrosa = Repsol $$ .
Wonder what we'll see in 2013? Pedrosa and Marquez on Repsol bikes, with or without Honda?

Yeah very interesting comparisons.Basically it says in the majority of cases that Rossi's total race times on the Duke are faster than Caseys were last year and Rossi is also doing faster laps.
So Rossi is faster overall between himself and Casey on the same bike?
Even if you allow for diff race conditions it's still an interesting read.

But also highlights how far Casey and Lorenzo have moved the goalpost's this year.
Lorenzo through awesome riding and Casey hopping on a Honda.
