Skip the top class...just look at that 250 list!!! Maybe i'm getting over excited or am suffering serious GP weekend withdrawal symptoms..but WOW...there are like 17 brilliant riders in there compared to the GP list in which I "only" get excited by 12 of the riders...but anyway. 250s are gonna rival MotoGP next year for entertainment....
I'm going to have to write their names - just cause it'll be fun.
Lorenzo, Aoyama, De Angelis, luthi, Locatelli, Bautista, Nieto, Lai, Dovizioso, Kallio, Linfoot, Laverty, Coghlan, Simoncelli, Simon, Aoyama!! and Barbera. Then I'm sure somebody will be able to argue that I've missed somebody from these brilliant riders.
(well ok a couple of those are just counted cause they are brits)...
Time to go back to my hibernation....

only one rider moved up from the 250 ranks then.
Sylvain Guintoli (born 24 June 1982 in Montélimar, France, currently living in Leicester, England), is a motorcycle racer. He made a single MotoGP start in 2002, but has spent most of his career in the 250 cc World Championship on private bikes. His best championship finish is 9th, in 2006.
In 2007, he will be racing in the MotoGP class for the Tech 3 Yamaha team. He described the opportunity as a "dream come true", but suffered a setback early in testing when he crashed and broke his collarbone, eliminating him from testing for several weeks.
wonder why

hayden wanted it. he did not need any proding from honda.

The 250 championship looks awesome for next year, hopefully with all the 125 riders stepping up it can clear a path for Bradley Smith to take the championship.
Good call, i think Badley has been looking excellent, and with any luck he can progress to the next big thing from Britain. He was doing ok in testing, not far from the top at all.

Here we go again. Nicky can do no right, can he? Anyone who thinks that it dosen't look right can go cry in a corner- The last Repsol Honda to carry the #1 plate was ridden by the best racer in History. If I was Haystack, and I'm not, but if I was, I would have taken the number 46 plate, just to get on Rossi's nerves.

Theres alcahol in you fat fridge, which your struggling yet attractive wife put in there. Go do some of that "weight lifting" that gave you your finely tuned beer gut.

Wow, USA's Steve Bonsey on a KTM in 125s. Good to see a young American going this route instead of AMA.
An american rider taking the europena route is definately good to see. It seemed to work for KRJR didnt it.
As for hayden, it does seem like he can do no right at the moment, i mean, whats wrong with taking the number 1??? He did earn it afterall. I would love to see someone steal the 46 for a laugh, but i think Hayden is way to sporting for anything like that, hes a nice guy afterall.

You're right. But the hole he is digging is a grave for the naysayers. Hopefully he can put them all to Rest In Peace.
