Good move ...

At least they now have a rider, going forward, that CAN win the title for HRC!

Well done Dovi....you are the best damned rider HRC has at the moment, and they know it...!
<
 
I would have preferred if Honda had chosen to keep him in Team Scot and supplied them with top HRC machinery...
 
Have to agree with Migs, Dovi will be the best rider HRC has next year, but will Puig/Pedrosa allow it to work? I want to see Dovi kick Pedro's ... next year.
 
I think Puig/Pedrosa will try to give him worse treatment than they did Nicky. The difference though is that he'll have Italy (and the Italian media) backing him up, whereas Nicky was somewhat of an outsider from the beginning and had no way to fire back at the Spanish dominated team and get equal treatment.

Time will tell I guess. I still think Repsol/Puig/Pedro have that team by the balls. They've been arguing against Dovi's entrance all along. My gut says it's gonna be WWIII in that garage.
 
too much crap goin on with the spanish armada kick there ... dovi.
start on the right footing tell that lot on the other side of the garage to fook off
 
Dani is on the last year of a 2 year in 2009, and he must deliver the title or lose it by only a few points to keep his HRC Factory ride....Dovi is Honda's future and insurance, much like Dani was in 2006, and Nicky was in 2003/4...

Dovi did wonders with the crap 250 Honda, and is doing incredibly well on the crap rc212v now...so on a full factory ride and real protection from HRC from Puig...Dovi will win races next year.....
 
Dovi shoud be very happy now. I wish him luck. Hamane, HRC President, stated that both of his riders will be on Birdgestone next year. I am not sure yet whether 2009 will be single tyre supplier like and F1.

I should have mentioned that I agree. I hope Dovi puts a boot up Dani's arse next season. I'llbe rooting for him.

By the way, it look like he's off to a good start on the "fook off" thing.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>HRC boss Hamane-san told a prickly press conference that there would be 'equal conditions for both factory riders,'
and that he would prefer one tyre manufacturer for his team rather than the split garage he has at the moment: 'we
don't want a wall.' Dovi refused to be drawn on how he views his new team-mate but did say that he would prefer a
'good relationship,' but 'if he doesn't want it, it doesn't matter.

I think it will be very difficult for Dani/Pig to make life hell for Dovi because as Phorest said, he is backed up by an equally strong base.

Nicky had no chance against this.

I also think HRC may have learned a thing or two from this debacle. I think it hurt the company more than it helped by favoring one over their better rider who actually accomplished something. I doubt they will be in a hurry to commit the same mistake with Dovi.

Migs, Nicky is a better rider than both of these, but HRC failed to supply him with the proper package. Despite all evidence of this, you continue to stick your head in the sand. (typical)

Man, either you're high as fucc right now, or just plain stupid. I'm thinking it's the latter. Nicky better than Dovizioso and Pedrosa..... get out of here.

It's simple.
Nicky has a motogp world championship, Ped & Dovi don't.

I've been known to get high. But you are as dumb as a bucket of rocks...and I'll be sober in the morning.
