No, your initial post regrading ownership of PI was like the head of a big dumb jack trout breaking the surface on a foggy Taupo morning.
I just cast a nice lure and hung on...

Real facts. Yep, you're (for once) correct! How will you feel I wonder, if CS does a wild card at PI, and gives Rossi another hiding there?

I for one would love to see CS wildcard.

Me too obviously. Not sure it'll happen though. Be pretty fucking funny if he did, and did the bizz though.

But as always Oscar, your man love for Rossi can't let you see the facts. Stoner OWNED Rossi round there. And everyone else for that matter. And if you ask who won more races head to head...Stoner or Rossi, we both know that answer too eh? Despite Stoner spending one season on inferior (as in non factory) equipment.

Yep, I'm a big Rossi fan while Stoner and moaner rhyme quite well, but hell, Stoner nailed PI and the biggest baddest corner in the place (T3) has his name on it Officially for good reason. The previous tenant was Rossi though!

Lol. You just go get my Steinies mate!

You can wait. Rossi's going to beat Lorenzo and then you'll be buying and serving with some humble pie!

No he ain't. Just like last year. Even with the odd DNF from Lorenzo...he's too fast for your boy. Make 'em good and cold.

To be fair, Rossi's qualifying has improved out of sight since he started drafting Vinales everywhere

And to be fair...it is fucking incredible that the Old Boy is still able to cut it. But he ain't gonna win that tenth title. I said that three seasons ago, and he's had his closest crack.

I'm a fan but agree. Like an old dog he still has the fight but needs luck to win. Still, the grid looks better with Rossi than without him. He's a wildcard in every race nowadays.

He'll be teaching the new crew race craft if nothing else!

I see that Rossi is desperate enough to try wings for the first time during the season. Baby steps though. His wings are a fraction of the size of the things sported by his team mate.

Interesting comment by Smith. Not quite sure what he's implying, but he said Ducati tend to do well at the first three races. Those tracks are not used much and are all consequently low grip. The Ducati handles low grip surfaces well.

Not sure if he's implying that they won't do as well at Jerez but we'll have an idea in a couple of weeks.

Did you see the small wings on MM's bike?
New air intake too, I think.
