Rossi rides Ducati!

[White trash]

Yup. We say that at the end of every season and come next one, it's the same processional shit with the politics being far more interesting.

Here's fucken hoping I'm wrong.......

indeed, but there's always Moto2 for competitive racing (how close was the race @ Valencia!? ), and in 2012 we get Moto3 (if thats the right designation?), plus Aprilia and Beemer joining the GP fray apparently....

[cowpoos]

Stoner's like a rocket from the off on the Honda. Be afraid, be very afraid

FUcking go stoner!!! I feel vindicated already for supporting him!!! and I'm sure crasherfromwayback does too!!

Have Honda installed a tip-over sensor on the bike?

never mind that...I have just read Rossi whingingabout the front end...rossi whinging about the electronics....rossi whinging about the engine...

second to last ducati rider....it must now be Rossi the moaner!!! but he'll have a super budget to make the bike better after years of ducati ignoring thier riders...because we can't let the Italian dream be made fools of!!!

the guy is a princess....



PS: gooooo!!! Spies!!!

[johan]

Rozzi has already adjusted the rear ride height and handle bar positions on the GP46 to suit his riding style!

Hahaha...too early to say just yet, but I bet Rossi is whishing he didn't tell Stoner he wasn't trying hard enough on the Ducati. Stoner? He beats the Repsol boys on his first outing on the fucking thing.

Class.

[slowpoke]

Not to much to read into the times just yet though,

Haha, dunno 'bout the rest but Stoner's made a mockery of that statement. Farkin' incredible really. As they said on Superbikeplanet "Pedrosa's life just got a whole lot more complicated". What's the bet Puig starts stirring the pot?

[Wingnut]

What's the bet Puig starts stirring the pot?

He will be fuming! Pedrosa's #1 Slot in the Repsol team maybe under threat eh?

Think you and I must've been watching different GP races this year. I thought it was fucking great.

[denill]

Ducati occupying 3 of the 4 slowest times at the final day of testing and Rossi the 3rd to last is not what I expected and neither would it be what Rossi, JB and Ducati would have expected either.

14 Loris Capirossi Pramac Ducati 1:33.740
15 Valentino Rossi Ducati Marlboro Ducati 1:33.761
16 L. Abraham Ducati 1:33.793
17 Toni Elias LCR Honda Honda 1:34.80

Well if he does end up getting the Ducati to handle like a Yamaha you could probably expect Hayden to feature up the front a lot more than in the recent past.

If I remember rightly Stoner was a bit of a crasher last time he was with Honda, but if he has that sorted and stays out front as the quick guy then he might just win the championship again. I'm certainly not counting out the Rossi/Burgess combination this early in the testing.

[Mental Trousers]

Wtf are people writing off Rossi already?? The Ducati has had problems all year and everyone knows it. People seem to expect Rossi should have them fixed already. From what I understand Filippo Preziosi very impressed and pleased with the feedback Rossi was giving so that he can design a better bike.

Stoner's just a loose unit. Adriana must be a hell of a lot tougher than she looks if he rides her the way he rides everything else.

[ducatilover]

Will be very interesting to see how Rossi can help with the Ducati problems. I certainly hope he can. Plus it's nice to have a change like that, he's been with Yammy for a while now...

I'm far from writing him off. You've only gotta remember what he and Burgess did with the Yamaha when he started there. I think he probably got a bit of a rude shock when he rode the Ducati though. You do remember him saying Stoner wasn't trying hard enough on it don't you?

Interesting that Stoner was able to be the quickest on the Honda, and not bin it though eh?

Crasher are you back in town already or are you writing on an iPhone (or similar) from some chick infested beach in Spain?
