The production lease what ever the .... they're called Yamahas aren't looking to bad considering the insider informed us they were being built in the garage yesterday, Espargaro put in 17 laps and was only 3 tenths off NH who put in 76 laps on a production Honda racer that is supposed to be well sorted and able to put Hayden on the podium. The Yam is only four weeks old and it will be supported and upgraded through the season. Sorry guys but HRC don't give a .... about Nicky or any one else on the production bikes.

Hayden did better than I thought he would, but as Digger said it is going to be a long season for Nicky. Given what was being said by the-insider Nicky should have been much further up the order with that that bike. the fact that the RCV100r is behind the Duc should be a great worry for you Hodor fanboys....Perhaps things will change once HRC look at the data, and Aspar comes up with the upgrade budget, though i would not hold my breadth....
BUT like i said Nicky did better today than i had expected....

You have to take in to account that hayden is on a different machine, he still has to learn what a bike with front end feel, feels like to ride again.
You are a little too quick to judge,
Personally been watching Cal and not liking what I see, but will give it time,
Too early to judge

Kiddy meet Harry. He is our forum cult of personality.http://powerslide.net/forum/index.php?/topic/2739-official-what-are-you-listening-to-thread/?p=367225
He lives by a code of stringent rules and has a problem with all who dont abide by them. I think he"s just pissed because he hasnt gotten permission to get laid. His stench of hypocricy is as overwhelming as the stench of cologne inside a small shop.
He is well known for brow beating newbies that he that dont behave how he would like them to.
He preaches peace but never practices it.

I suspected that there would be teething problems, and that there was no way we'd see anything close to three tenths off today, but I also didn't expect to see Nicky two seconds adrift, either. In a normal shakedown test, I'd expect another second or so to fall off the first day's times, but considering this is supposed to be a polished product, with wax applied by Casey Stoner no less, I wonder how much further the bike can be pushed in Nicky's hands. I have no doubt the package and the rider will improve, but that magical three tenths looks a long ways off.

According to Kropo, Suppo said that Casey only did 5 laps on it.
Which points to it not being polished in the slightest at GP pace. And also calls ........ on it being 0.1 down on the best lap of a works RCV...unless one believes Casey really is that fast on an underpowered bike with 5 laps of set-up time (as opposed to Nicky's 70+ laps). I don't.
Agree.

Funny how anytime I make a negative comment - you assume it's about you. You flatter yourself if you believe it to be true.
These days the only time I feel impelled to comment on something you post, is when you have said something that is about racing which is pretty much never.
