Seems like it

I think Dani is obviously a completly different character to the likes of Valentino etc................but thats not a bad thing is it? Dani is such a focused person, and everyone knows how much the right frame of mind can affect race results. Did anyone see how focussed he was at the start of the race, really concentrating and visualising the task ahead. So what if he doesnt show his emotions as much as others, he performs, and that's what he is paid to do - win races. Anyway, I thought he looked quite happy on the podium.......his tongue stuck out further than that dude from kiss



Rossi is many things apart from the worlds best gp rider, he plays to the crowd really well and thats why he has such a good following. From the already mentioned (and really cool!) burnout he did to leaving the podium - he acted as if he had won the race - and thats what the public love, showmanship.

Rossi rode the wheels of the m1 yesterday, it was a truley entertaining battle for the podium positions behind Dani.................this season is a bloody cracker!

A couple things I would like to say, firstly Dani is Dani and Rossi is Rossi. Dani is quiet, you all know that, its just the way he was born and nothing can change that so stop raging on him all the time. Did you ever stop and think that he's only a kid! sure it takes alot of muturity to get to where he is but at the end of the day he's still a little boy. People of that age have not developed their personality's yet and he has plenty of time to do that. So bloody what if he's not as charasmatic as Rossi, since when did you have charismatic to be remembered as a great rider? It just seems that every is being forced into the Rossi mould and I find it disturbing.

Dani P was on fire! In the end I think it will whittle down to Dani & Rossi for the title unfortunately.

don't take this all so serious! it's just something people <u>notice</u>, not something people only judge a rider of...

what you say about dani being a kid, what does that make stoner? stoner has personality, and so has pedrosa, but he is just different or shy, and that's part of his personality.

I think that the main thing people are saying here is that Pedrosa will not become the next rossi like some other people are saying, because he hasn't got such an 'out going' personality as rossi that attracks so many fans. that doesn't mean that we don't think he is/can become a great rider, it has nothing to do with eachother

the dutch commentary dudes said yesterday that dani is a very warm person to the people that knows him and that he is just shy

back to topic! desmo I think you can be right! pedrosa and rossi seem very strong, but so does hayden (if you don't count in donni and le mans, he has been on the podium every race), so I would have added hayden to that list too

Yeah your right I suppose! but why does Dani have to be the next Rossi? was Rossi the new Doohan? Im pretty confident that Dani will win quite a few world championships and if does he will be remembered as Dani! Like I said before, he does'nt need to be moulded into the Rossi type, let people accept him for who he is.

Back to the race Hayden seemed to be moving through the field before he made that error but he could'nt come back afterwards. I know it was great when Rossi did his typical blast through the field like a rocket routine, but how come he could'nt pull away from Melandri? I mean despite his injury he did come from 14th to 2nd, but why could'nt he pull away. I know Rossi's had his bad luck this season but it seems to me that he's not as strong as last season. In many races this year he's moved through the field from a bad qualifying start but then has struggled to match the front runners pace.

People need to big-up Melamdri more! he's quickly becoming my new fav rider! despite having bike issues at the start of the season and being wedged between two bike travelling at 120mph, he's still won 2 races and almost grabbed second position at Donington. I really think that Honda need to snatch him up.

i'am sorry but the last time i looked he was 20 years old which to me isn't a kid anymore !
I was at day of champions and pedrosa was horrible to all the little kids who wanted his autograph and didn't even sign anything.
Casey stoner is the same age and when we seen him he was polite, full of character and we even had a quick convo with him, Casey is much nicer and acts his age and is more grown up then a few riders.


Omg yesterdays racing was amazing standing the crowd when rossi pasted and marco passed him again he was an amazing feeling but also very scary. I felt abit sorry or dani because every1 was cherring for rossi even though he had won thr race. marco did fab.
Rossi was amazing tho. Oh can i just say i was speakin wit bradley smith on thursday, he and his family, our old friends from the motocross days, and i just wanna say how well he rode yesterday he was brill.

Dani deserved the crowds attention for a great ride.

Special mentions to supermen, Rossi and MM.

KRJ is on a roll.

Well i got the wrong Repsol Honda for first in mi predictions, but never mind,and just a big well done to Danni he was never gonna lose this one,looked strong all weekend.
But as for Danni's personality,well if he was more like rossi,everyone would be slagging him off for trying to be like rossi,so the the way is,is fine by me, cool, calm, and collected,and if he's winning races it cant be that bad.

20 years old is still a kid man! its only a year off being a teen!

Pedrosa did a good job, he is really a talented guy. So much more so than Stoner. I`ve been lookin at some stuff from home and the Crasheyboppers are really starting to annoy me. I love it when Pedrosa beats himricho, does Stoner annoy you or it is his fans only? Also, does Vermuelen have a strong fan base in Oz?

i no casey is such a nice fella, well nicer then the arrogant little .... !!!
if any body loves themselves it wud b pedrosa (no wonder he hasn't got no fans the way he treated them on thursday) , casey isn't like that at all.

Ben it would be nice to hace an "ignore user" option so I don't have to read all the crap this ....... ..... writes.

I should have started a fishing forum eh

then you'd still have people going on about who caught the biggest fish. I think the whole point of a forum is discussion. You can still agree to disagree. WHat's the point of hanging around people who nod ferociously at everything you say?!?!?! How boring is that? If you want someone to agree with you all the time, then hang around with a 3 year old, and even then you might still get a good run for your money. For those who say Dani is shy, well I believe it. Dani will be remembered for his racing and for being a midget monster on a bike, not for being an entertainer or a crowd pleaser.

Re the race it was fab. When it comes to being a fan, I'm definitely with Rossi (greatest of all time in my opinion) and Melandri (he just keeps getting better), but I don't hate anyone and Dani definitely deserved that win. My only correct prediction was MM in 3rd place. He was great yesterday and on that last lap I wasn't even sure who I wanted on the 2nd step of the podium. They both worked hard for it and both deserved it. Especially considering recently sustained injuries for both of them.

My sentiments exactly Ben.
Not quite sure about the tongue part though........have yet to measure them in comparison.

WHAT AN ARROGANT PRICK!!! I finally saw the full session (as my internet connection died after the last lap....) Sorry guys but this is exactly why I hate Dani....in my post above, I certainly congratulated him on a very good weekend, but what a ........ to snub little kids for autographs and have seemingly no joy in a great victory....Rossi does a wicked cool burnout in podium row and Dani just looks the other way like a pretty boy....if that had been Loris, he'd have been laughing his ... off....
At least Casey is "real".....Dani doesn't deserve half the credit he gets as far as I'm concerned.....great rider, but he's practically in bed with the MotoGP announcers....they said themselves they went out to dinner together...MotoGP is trying like hell to develop another Biaggi for Rossi....they are clearly trying to bill Dani as an equal...which he is far from....the only way Dani could win a dogfight with Rossi is if Dani were tied to his rear wheel.....lets also remember that Dani and Nicky are riding a bike heavily developed by Rossi and others.....Dani is lucky he didn't kill himself in that near miss with Melandri.....that my friends.....is inexperience.....Did you see Vale go over to Melandri and shake his hand and his whole team......Dani looked the other way.....sportsmanship right out the window.....
Sorry about the rant guys, but he pissed me off!!

Yeah, what a snob... You can't honestly expect a rider to sign every last piece of memorabilia for every last fan. It's impossible. I know someone who has a few friends at Camel Yamaha and I was told that Rossi doesn't even use a real signature for "common fans." Supposedly, there is a difference in signatures between auctioned or purchased items or autographs for personal friends etc. and those for people who spot him in the pits and ask for an autograph.

Big thanks to The 'Soup for this photo.

lets also remember that Dani and Nicky are riding a bike heavily developed by Rossi and others...
Check out the above pic for further kid snubbing... And personally, I felt it was a bit disrespectful for Rossi to be doing burnouts in parc ferme when he didn't even win. Strikes me as a bit "Look at me!! Look at me!! I finished second with a broken wrist! I can do a burnout! Dani doesn't even smile. Look at me!!!!" Get over yourself Vale. I'm glad he has a passion to ride and he truely enjoys it but let the kid have his moment.

As for the RC211V, yeah it WAS developed by Rossi. But the bikes Pedrosa and Hayden are riding now have evolved so much there is very little left from Rossi's input. I would bet there is nothing from Hayden's Evo that Rossi has ever even seen before.

It seems the Valentiniboppers are quite touchy about the fact that Dani beat Rossi and has done what Rossi couldn't in his rookie season, all this insults and lies I think it's a pathetic way of trying to defend Rossi, because they are .... scared about Dani beating Rossi to the title.

i suppose im gunna start a war now hey cus im a valetinnybopper,
ok its easy and quite straight forward, ickle dani, well he was fast all weekend so he was gunna be there to the flag, rossi, as i c it we r watching sumthink special, injured, bike back end nearly chucking him off every time he gets on the gas, 12th place on grid and he cums in 2nd,
im sure we would have seen a great race if he started on row 1,,
marco well if hed a started on row 4? 3rd place no i dont think so..
if the people who slate rossi cant c wots happening infront off u then why watch gp? again for little dani, hes gunna win lots of races and titles and yes i felt sori for him being out chanted by us vale fans, but hey thats not rossis fault is it,, im sure dani will beat rossi when they r on the same grid in a real fight to the line but how can sum one be thrashed from 12th on grid and gets 2nd really baffles me,,
just to keep teo quiet,, id like to say well done dani u was a well deservd winner..,,, oh one more thing dani isnt rossi and rossi isnt dani, in styles they r worlds apart..
