2010 Estorol "RACE" thread

[Jumkie]

yes please, didnt stoner do well finishing some 18.035 seconds ahead his team mate ON THE SAME BIKE!

PI, oh yeah, I remember. Yes, Stoner was unstoppable. Lorenzo, managed to clear Rossi by 10 secs (that is of course after Lorenzo dialed it back, while Rossi did not have that same luxury), not just on the same bike, but on a bike designed for the guy he beat!

(BTW, Lorenzo almost replicated the gap this last race. And about Nicky's tire gamble, well three Ducs DNFd, so... ).

Ok, ok, enough, why are we pitting these guys against eachother. Can't we get back to the good old days where we all agreed shitting on Pedrosa was the funnest thing to do?

 

[povol]

Yes, because the other big bang Ducs are doing so good.

(12th, 14th, 17th, a virtual whos who of last places)

They are compared to the cruising pigfarmer. PI anyone



They, constitutes 2 or more persons or things. How many other Ducati's finished ahead of Hayden at PI

 

[Talpa]

Just to clarify,

Nicky is hardly streaks ahead as the most successful 'other' Ducati rider at all



2007

Loris

166 points

1 win, 4 podiums



2010

Nicky

163 points

1 podium



Loris was also 7th in 2007, Nicky is currently 7th.







What about the Etiquette issues with the passing for the final podium spot????

Thank god it happened, kept me awake!



Surely this needs some more discussion............

 

[chopperman]

Yes, pretty close. It would be hard to rank Nicky Dovi and Spies. Now I know its difficult to imagine it, but in your mind's imagination, put Dovi & Spies on Nicky's bike.

WTF, according to your Mutt (pov), only Rossi fans do the "what,if's" !

Thankfully because of the wall and the time its been there, that makes that bollocks !

I'm certainly hoping that Bridgestone brings something more to the table next year, otherwise it doesn't matter what Stoner and Rossi do on their new bikes, Lorenzo's relationship with the Harder tyre is unstoppable when temp's are down and even moderate.

So is Lorenzo better than Rossi, or is Forcada better than Burgess.

 

[povol]

I think Hayden on Dovi are close, but Dovi has actually won a race in the last few years and beat Nicky Hayden in his rookie sesaon on a satellite bike.

Fair enough

Nicky does it on consistency, we all know that. BTW, I didn't bother checking, so Nicky only needs 4 more points to go ahead of Loris 07? I think barring a DNF, he can do it. I think you padded my point though, that is to say, Ducs have sucked across the board barring Stoner (you know, that .... rider Casey).

 

[chopperman]

Yes this year he most definitely was. He kept it rubber side down all season and won the championship. Damn the boy podium every race bar 2. Lorenzo and HIS team where awesome. Rossi and his team were also awsome in that there top 2 or 3 dispite missing 4 races but its the otherside of the wall that won. Whats your point ?

I've been waiting for you to mention this. So...the tires lost Rossi the Mundialito?

Yeah, consistently off the rostrum

I never said Casey was a .... rider, quite the opposite.......a complete .... yes I have!!!

being a .... certainly doesn't impede riding-look at Kosinski!!

 

[news1213]

So Jum, if Rossi sucks ... next year on the Duc we can use the "the Ducati is ...." excuse as well, right..?

No. We both know Rossi will be given a few extra cc.

What Mundialito??

Finally, something we can agree on.
