Prune loyalty!
Speaking of Bowel Movements, BM, ur premise seems to be since he is a good rider (which nobody is denying but ur basing ur entire premise on) he should forever merit 'THE MOST COVETED SEAT in MotoGP. Listen, he has had a good run, but he hasnt put it all together for one season! U can bang all u want on Hayden's win total, but at very least, for one entire season he kept his composure when it counted. Pedro had a very similar opportunity last year! Yes, after Stoner injured himself AND the RCV became the undisputed perfect machine, he was again IN THE BEST POSITION to win a title. This after Baustista gave Pedro a 25 point gift. What happened? Pedro RETURNS TO SENDER at PI. Thats not counting his own screw up after a no-fault tire warming incident. This is where COMPOSURE comes in. He screwed up, because he started from the back he got desperate and in a hasty moment stormed the field and crashed!
U nor i are in a position to be perfect during such hi intensity high pressure moments, but champion are and do. That is why we admire them and receive so much accolade. Pedro won more races last year than Lorenzo, yet who has the trophy?
U also are a bit like Alberto Puig, trying to expand the scope in a feeble attempt at traction. We, or I am not saying he should have been replaced all 8 years. Im saying about 2-3 years ago it was time to give another talented a shot. I realize its hard for u to see the alternative, but much of Pedros's record IS BECAUSE he has been at HRC. Allow me to make a comparison. I think, but not sure, u are a Stoner fan (given u have decided to live vicariously through Marc). Do u think Stoners record of race wins might have been more on a Worx RCV the last 8 years?
I agree, Dani is a very good rider, but let me make another comparison. Since we have been talking about Cal, look at how much improved he has become. This is what happens with careers sometimes, they ebb and flow. Dani has had it all his way and that ultimate flow has never appeared. I know it would break ur heart, but it time for him to be moved aside and let somebody have a go. (Btw, if Nicky gets beat by years end by Dovi, its also time for him to look elsewhere. Not everybody gets to be promoted to a factory Yamaha u know).
