he knows that all that needs to be done is to improve the electronics, to flow with his style(sliding:D) and not hammering it off line.

maybe even turn of the damn TC
<


would be big show seeing hayden this year
<

thats a very save statement...

i mean, he's got a quite stable set-up, still... slower than hayden.

I can't see any of these being regular podium fighters. Hayden might still surprise me, and I'm sure Elias will will be there once or twice but, none of them will set the WC on fire.

if its about going for the WC, its the top 4 of 2008 and thats it.

but you already knew that, so that why im posting about other people im expecting a few surprises from
 
Oh why oh why are we creating a whole new thread on Hayden?? The guy is just not fast......end of story. Yeah, the guy's got appeal because he could be your next door neighbor type of guy but in all honesty.... he is just not an elite rider, regardless of his championship. Not knocking the guy, I actually do like him because he is himself which is hard nowadays especially when you're in the spotlight, but I just don't see him running in front with the big boys. Now... Flame on!!

If you don't like it then don't read it and don't post in it. Simple as.

Anyway, Slide, as I said before, I like your enthusiasm and postive outlook. May I ask how old you are and gender (just want to attach a big smile next to the mental image I have of you). As to your thought, I am still very worried about Nicky. We all know he will 'try' but sometimes that's just not enough if something just isn't clicking. I think the biggest advantage Hayden has is that he knows for a FACT that the machine/package is capable of leading, and I think he will try everything to get in that form.

BTW, I was very impressed with Kalio.
 
The big advantage that Hayden has is that somewhere in Italy some mechanic guy can't sleep because the bike isn't performing for him. He won't sleep, eat well, or rest until it does. That is the difference between Ducati and Honda. It's personal. The next test will be different for him I'm sure.

you are a .... sucker!!!! Hayden lands a killer job on a top moto gp squad because he is slow? Because he sucks? Because he just is a fun guy? Because he is just good PR? You have no clue and should be taken out with the rest of the garbage. Hayden is fast, a good racer, and above all and above your shitya crapcano who isn't even in GP anymore cause he is slow, he sucks, he is ...... PR and has no redeeming quality for any GP team to invest in.
 
I kind of doubt they switch off the TC under any circumstance. I heard someone describe the electronic network of a MotoGP bike to be like that of a small animal. Pretty complex stuff to just switch off and expect anything but disaster. Anyway Q runs are part of race history now....sadly. Many times they rivaled the race for excitement.

oh please
OHhh Sorry cause JT is! ...... LOL what a joke he is and will be. HAyden is better than most of the grid. Not to many in front of him especially some of the ones who were supposed to be the .... when they got there.

Qualyfing tyres made for some fun session to watch but I am glad it is gone.. We now have some riders who sucked on Qs but had good race pace in with a fairer shot at the starting at the front of the grid. One lap wonder riders are now going to shown for the one trick ponies they always were.

Disagree..it was all part of the show, and the demise of qualifiers represents another chapter in the wholesale devaluation of this once elite championship. On the other hand, at least Randy De Puniet won't be able to deploy a set ten minutes into the start of every session any more.

Tell me, what riders in particular do you think benefited from the 'Q's, and precisely which riders are "now going to shown for the one trick ponies they always were"?

I'll give you one guess who Migs is trying to ever so slyly refer to. Or was this a rhetorical question?
