Who would have thought Stoner would get Pedrosa's ride next year, and will Rossi go to Ducati, its all going on

Has he? Where's Pedrosa going? He's a class above Dovi when he's fit.

 

So long as they keep Moto2 I'll be happy. Best raceing I've seen for years!!

Well Pedrosa promised a lot then Lorenzo came and he kinda fell apart,don't think he can handle Jorge pushing Rossi harder than he ever could.Stoner could do with a change as for Rossi he's going to Ducati with a veiw to going to Ferrari F1 in 2012.The news said this morning Rossi could even be back for Sachsenring on the weekend,he's done race distance a few times on a R1 to judge his fitness..........John

Do you think Pedrosa isn't heavy enough for the bike as was reported last week. He can't shift his weight onto the back like the others to get the bike to squat so he looses vital grip whilst trying to cain it out of corners.

[andyfr1968 772]

I don't think it's Pedrosa's lack of weight 'cos when he's fit and Honda have given him the bike he needs, he's at least as fast as anyone else out there.

 

Since the 800 class was introduced, Honda have never really listened to what their riders have asked for and just given them what they think they need.

 

Ducati though have built a bike for Stoner and no one else. It's only this past few races that they've given Hayden the tackle he's asked for and look at how much better he's been. It's no wonder Melandri got such crap results as Stoner's team mate 'cos he was always trying to get to grips with someone else's bike...

I don't think it's a weight thing with Pedrosa,it's like you racing somebody who's carrying a 6 stone kid and you're carrying a 2 stone kid by rights you should be able to run faster.Dani is a rider who suffers with confidence imo especially where Lorenzo is concerned,they hate each other with a passion so when he loses to Lorenzo it really effects is confidence,coupled with the fact that Honda are basically devoloping a bike for next season not around Dani as in previous seasons he's struggling.Whereas riders like Rossi can raise their game when given inferior machinery,another example of somebody stepping up their game is Randy de Puniet he's on a customer Honda and as shown if you ride on the limit you can get results behond you're machinery's capabilities........John

[andyfr1968 772]

You're bang on adout De Puniet, John. If he's not got a full works bike next year, there's no justice.

Lorenzo has this year in the bag because Rossi was not in it but as for Stoner hes lost the plot Ducati built the bike for him gave him all he needs to win but he still cant. When the master Rossi returns he will win a few races from whats left of this season just to show Lorenzo what hes in for next season because i think Rossi will finish his last two years in racing on the Ducati and win both seasons but only if his pit crew come with him......

Rossi has been back on a WSB , and might ride in Germany ????

 

All stoner seems to do is wing like a bitch !
