Its for him to stop hiding in the shadows, man up and come clean ( or whoever is firing the bullets ) But dont hold your breath!
Anyway this is a thread about MotoGP and there have been some really good and constructive posts. It beats horse racing, more horsepower, more laps and more noise. Pedrosa could happily moonlight as a jockey!
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Overall it's been a disappointing year.
The Ducati/Rossi combination still didn't fire and there were a few pointless crashes that had a disproportionate effect on the overall championship - such as Lorenzo being taken out and Pedrosa arsing off at PI. As the season went on it became more and more difficult to get excited by it all - and that's from someone who really enjoys the sport. It says it all when the TV One "highlights" package jumps from lap 4 to lap 14 .....
The riders (and others) complained about the Daytona track and their concerns were realised when Hayden and Stoner crashed, taking them both out of the running for a few races. That robbed the series of so much interest you have to wonder if it's worth including that track at all. Hayden was making a hard run at podiums and trying to beat his team mate and when he was out of the racing it robbed a lot of mid-pack interest.
Taking Stoner out of the race for the championship killed it - Pedrosa vs Lorenzo to me is like watching a couple of robots ride. I just don't find them interesting or particularly likeable.
It looks like the greatest interest next year will be another Pedrosa vs Lorenzo battle for the title. Rossi will probably take a bit of time to get into his stride again, but I think Lorenzo has his measure anyway.
Then there's Marquez, who has potential but will probably need some time to step up - and if his crew have been fiddling with the M2 spec ECU, as has been claimed, his current performances might be a bit of a Lance Armstrong effort, artificially quick.
I hope I'm wrong but there just doesn't seem like much to get excited about, unfortunately.
I think you mean Indianapolis.Elena Myers scored a great win at Daytona this year, but that's another story for another thread...
Apparently, it's actually the quickshifter and that's legal.
