AFUCKINGMEN. They would rather hang around and ..... to bring the sport down. If Rossi was winning every race and leading every lap, they would have ...... their dicks off by now. Rossi has alienated himself from the machines it takes to win in GP, so their goal is to eliminate the machines, even if it ruins the sport to do it. I thought that was an entertaining race yesterday. I guess its up to Casey to save GP. Making the races close is not good enough, it seems he is going to have to ride around in second for 20 laps, make a pass and go on to win by 4-5 seconds before some will consider it good racing. I watched those pig ... pieces off .... CRT bikes pushing and wobbling around the track and wondered how in the hell anyone could want that for GP, and it boggles the mind. That would be like taking the laser scalpel from a renowned neurosurgeon and handing him a butterknife. That would add some intensity to the operating room huh!

I'm more of a lurker so I'm sure I'll be getting a hard time from most for asking this, the final gap from stoner for Lorenzo was 1.4xx, if you look at dovi his was 13.8xx.
I know rossi has still got to have the talent and ability but you really think that it adds up to closing up that 12 second gap to Lorenzo to be dicing it up with him?

Not at all, thats a fair question. He would be closer than Dovi, but running around all by his lonesome in 4th or 5th and on occasion mixing it up with Spies, if he ever gets his head out of his ....
How has he alienated himself from the machines. Doesn't he have a championship from every format except the current 1000s, he did win some races his last year on the Yam. You know the CRTs have nothing to do with Rossi. If Honda would throw the quick transmission in all their bikes we might be seeing the sat Hondas fighting the sat Yams, but it's to expensive.
I think povol means he pissed off/got pissed off with yamaha and honda. He obviously could still be with yamaha had he so chosen, and might have 11 premier class championships by now if he had stayed with honda.

By being a total .... and burning bridges when he departs. Honda and Yamaha both have said Rossi on a factory bike is not an option, and those are the machines that are capable of winning races.

Spies isnt on CRT....he is on the same bike as Lorenzo......Spies is riding to the best of his abilities, nothing to do with the bike....

It's a reasonable question. Tho not everyone who replies (Boppers) can be expected to give reasonable answers.
Hard to say. I'd sure like to see Rossi try. Regardless of his results on the abysmal Ducati - I'd wager he's still got
more racecraft than Pedrosa and all the others that are following him.

A shame. He's had a shitload of bad luck - mostly at the hands of his crew. It's no speculation. He's said in interviews it's about loss of confidence. Really hope he can turn it around. He's a hell of a rider.

I don't know. I know all anyone can do is speculate but i feel like he would be alone out there, I'm sure at some points he could push up on the front 3 but I don't think his talent is enough to put the bike in a position to finish ahead of stoner or Lorenzo. The way spies is performing I don't think he would even be battling with rossi.
I like a lot of the riders but I'll always root for the hometown guys but I'm real concerned this is spies last year in the gp. I know he is a great rider but wth. Is it really the crew not backing him up or is it all confidence issues? I hope its that latter because I'm sure that he can overcome that. I hope he gets it sorted soon though

What does that have to do with CRT or even the chance of him not getting on another factory ride. You never know and he obviously has no problems getting sponsors. Honda had to cut their budget and Yam still have no sponsor, the world is run by the bean counters and not Jarvis and nakamoto
