If Stoner had stayed in Motogp we would have probably seen a great show between them.Rossi has now got to prove he can still do it with a championship winning bike to remain The daddy.Will be interesting to see how he does with Gorge as the champion. Marquez will also be one to watch especially his barging and dirty tactics.
Lets all be honest my Nan could win that race with a repsol paint job. I'm serious that's all you need guys!
cant remember where I read it but it was Rossi's own words saying stoner rode the ducati well because he learned race properly on the duke but his own problem was he had to re tune his own racing style to suit the ducati which he was finding hard.
We will see if Rossi has still got it next year. Stoner could ride the Ducati and Rossi didn't live up to the hype. I think next year is going Lorenzo and Pedrosa show next year. I actually think Pedrosa can win the championship. After his performance this year. He has Also improved his wet race pace considerably.
I think next year with Rossi back on the yam, George, marc marquez Dani will have less of a chance winning a championship. Agree he has improved but still seems to be unable to handle the pressure as well as others. Dani needs good results at the start of the year like George had this year to have any hope
I feel like I should come out of the closet here and say that....... I really don't like Repsol paint jobs. There......I said it
I'm expecting a lot more podiums from Cal Crutchlow next year and possibly a win, I think he'll be battling with Rossi.
I can't see Dani winning a championship to be honest . I think this year and last he's had the equipment but failed to capitalise on it . Now with Marquez coming and rookie and Factory bike rule out the window, he's going to find it very tough
Correct me please if I'm wrong but didn't Rossi tell Honda that the rider was more important than the bike when he couldn't get Honda to agree to his terms just before he went to Yamaha and wasn't Rossi one of the main moaners about Bridgestone tyres being so much better than his Michelins and wasn't it Rossi who had the ''wall'' built in the Yamaha pit garage so Lorenzo couldn't share his set up info because he'd done all the development on the M1.
without a rider it would not go, but really he said then then destroyed Honda on a crap Yam. Agreed I feel Ducati have not done what Rossi wants. eveyone has a moan from what your read or see on the TV and in mags but Rossi why is Rossi so liked? me thinks it's the all round package.
Hardly a crap Yam, Biaggi used to to give him a good run for his money on the Yam before Rossi and Burgess reinvented it. In fact Biaggi finnished 2nd behind Rossi in the 2002 championship.
