MotoGP 2012

That's the thing with him though. He was podium good...lots. If he manages to get close to Lorenzo, he'll take gaps that are...less gap like than what others look for. It'll be paint trading racing.

Like I said. He wasn't good enough in 2011. But I do think he was unlucky to have been given the arse by HRC.

The trick for Teams are to have two riders who complement each other.

Lorenzo and Rossi did NOT do that when they were in the same team - and why will they complement each other if they join up again? It'll be all on with handbags again.....................

Stoner and Pedro are probably a good mix. Dunno about Cal and Dovi??

Compliment each other? Only one can win.

The most important person to beat on the track is your team mate. That way, your job is safer than his.

There is little co-operation, and less friendships between team mates in any garage that I've seen.

Should I have been graced with skill enough to get me into Moto GP, I'd want the best cunt as my team mate. Give you something to aim for/beat. I lost a lil bit of respect for Rossi when he told Yamaha it's Lorenzo or me. Surely if you're THE man...wouldn't matter a fuck who your team mate was? It's one thing I've never seen Stoner moan about! Most other things yes...

[Mental Trousers]

Dovi is THE best wingman to have in MotoGP. He'll be right there on Jorge's arse all day long so if Jorge crashes Dovi snaps up the win.

He's like Colin Edwards used to be, the best of the rest. What you don't want in the factory team is 2 guys who are clearly better than everyone else that go and knock each other off, cause management all kinds of headaches with who is the number one rider arguments and don't share data. That's what Yamaha had and it wasn't a good thing.

Dovi for the other factory Yamaha seat!!!

That's why I cannae for the life of me understand why they'd want Rossi back.

That's why I cannae for the life of me understand why they'd want Rossi back.

The reason is very simple - I've never heard anyone say "..do you know where I can buy a replica Dovi helmet..?" (or Dovi Bike, Dovi Boots or Dovi Jockstrap).

I'm sure that whereas the Yamaha Racing management would rather stick needles in their eyes than put up with a Rossi/Lorenzo garage again, the Yamaha marketing department is having collective and multiple orgasms over the prospect...

Perhaps not. But there's a shitload of Lorenzo gear out there. Mind you...Rossi will also bring plenty of outside sponsorship moola too I guess!

95% of the gear at Brno last year was Rossi's. From different eras, such as Yamaha. But yeah, Rossi got paid for it.

A very distance next was, surprisingly, Pedro's.

Yeah but at Valencia it was all Lorenzo and Rossi...about 50/50.

I LOL'd. Poor old Rossi.

Pretty much where he's been all season. Done a fair bit of bitching/moaning too.

[merv]

Is that panniers and a top box on that bike? Who would trust that bike to tour on?

[Trudes]

I make jokes about his moaning, well...every time he talks to the press. I think it's funny, cos it's true.

I used to laugh at Stoner's moaning too and then I took a bit of notice at the kind of questions he gets asked. They are generally questions that lead him into having a moan. "So what went wrong today Casey?", "You looked like you weren't too happy today Casey", "The tyres looked like they were a bit poked by the end of the day Casey". I guess if you're a little inclined to tell it like it is and get asked leading questions like that then you probably do sound like you're constantly having a winge.
