If Not Rossi Then Who

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (frosty58 @ Mar 3 2006, 11:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>melandri, tamada & hayden have all been in the big class the same amount of time. since 2003. their all equally experienced. melandri spent his 1st 2 years on the lackluster m1. i thought elias came up in 04? which would make this season 3. not sure on that 1 tho.

He got rookie of the year last year so I thought it was his first year.Anyways, three years aint much.
Yamaha have got Rossi and Checa, Ducati has Gibbers and Capriex, Even KR Honda has Kenny Jr. I think a rider with a good deal of experience, preferebly with development, would do Honda well. KR would have been a good choice. They should have found room for him. They were going to get Checa, but then Pons pulled out. All I;'m saying is more experience in the ranks wouldn't hurt the Honda camp

if u mean elias ur probably right. i could'nt remember.

Elias was Rookie of the Year in 2005. Hayden has the most usable RC211V knowledge and experience as Tamada spent two years on a Bridgestone shod RCV.
