Is now the time to march Dani to the gallows?

It's only Jorge's off track antics that are depressing. He should stop trying to out Rossi Rossi with his green snake and mohawk schemes. He should just enjoy himself without gimerickery and silliness. People are not dumb and they will respond if he just enjoys the racing and is pleasant to be around. Word will spread quickly - look at the millions MM has snagged already.


To be fair I always thought that JLo was just mocking Rossi and I personally see nothing wrong with that when it is directed at people who are too 'up' themselves, although it did start to pee me off after a while
 
I think we need to wait these next few rounds before putting rope to Dani. 


If he can't beat Marquez or Lorezno straight up, he will have to settle with the fact he's the fastest #2 rider MotoGP has ever seen.

Scotty Russell?


No, a little older, talks about the same.  Scotty rode for him a little bit ago in a comeback race at Daytona though.  Never got the chance to meet Scott, wish I did cause he was another one of my old heros....along with Doug Chandler and the rest of those guys back in the day haha.

Hahaha you got it.  YEah and let me tell you.  He cooks ribs like no ones business.  It was just a cool thing to happen to get to chill out with him a bunch of times and get to know him.  Pick a champs brain and see more than I would have ever gotten to see otherwise.  Real cool dude no doubt.

Nope, I gave some pretty good clues.  Especially the one about Scott Russell riding for him just several years ago for his team.  Remember, the talk the same-ish.

Jermaine Jackson ?
 
Yeah, the Rajun Cajun Jamie James.  What a cool dude really.  First time I met him we were all going to eat at some sports bar in FLA.  He had his first Jamie James Production R1 in the back of his truck.  It was a dark/black one, the orange one was the next iteration.  The thing was 100% street legal at the time but he was laughing cause it was anything but a street bike. 
 
As long as ya got front and rear lights and adhere to noise by-laws pretty much ANYTHING is 'street legal'.

I have noticed a lot of mixed comments about Dani Pedrosa in some of the other threads. Therefore, I thought a dedicated thread on his recent performances would be warranted.


 


Personally, I thought Dani showed us his best season last year. I do realise that Dani didn't have to compete with a fully motivated Stoner last year. Therefore, some of his results may have been enhanced by that fact. But still, he rode well enough to worry an in-form and fully motivated Lorenzo for a decent portion of the year. And in my opinion, Lorenzo has never ridden so well.


 


So, with Stoner completely gone, and having a rooky as his team-mate, I thought this year would be Dani's best shot at the title, as long as he could maintain that winning confidence from 2012, and provided Honda could deliver a bike that had the edge on the M1.


 


Two races in, and Dani has failed to beat his team-mate. And quite disturbingly, from my armchair, it appeared his rooky team-mate wasn't even riding to his maximum. It does appear that Marquez is speedily becoming MotoGp's new giant (no ironic pun on Dani intended). But for this to happen to Dani so early in the season, surely the guy is worried. 


 


Was he riding conservatively with the championship in mind? Was it merely the incorrect tyre choice that lost him the race in Texas? Will we see him fight back in Europe? Or is Dani done and dusted?


For me, Dani is a great rider He's unlucky because He has ride ever versus Rossi, Stoner, Gibernau and now Lorenzo and Marquez, and now it's too "old" for a world championship... or I wrong?
 
How does luck come into that ? Sure, if you had wiped all the aforementioned riders, maybe he would've been champion, but then, where is the pride - or even the real "success" - when there are no really strong opponents ? 


 


To the extreme, I can also say that I'm the best rider in the world, but you just have to take out Rossi, Lorenzo, Marquez, Pedrosa, Crutchlow, all the motogp , superbike riders, SBS, AMA, BSB, FSBK, etc.


 


Lorenzo managed to win a world title against rossi, stoner, pedrosa. Stoner did too, against rossi, pedrosa, lorenzo, And now Marquez is going to too, against Lorenzo, Rossi, Pedrosa (and probably Stoner if he wasn't retired)
 
Look at it like this.  Pedrosa, the Ultimate mid-packer.                wait for it...............................................lol Curve.

Pedrosa is hardly a mid-packer. He's a front runner in terms of pace, but he seems to have a problem with overtaking. I don't buy his story about Silverstone, his tires didn't overheat, he was right there with 2 laps to go and didn't even show a wheel!

The ultimate mid-packer in my mind here is the guy who is usually at the front end of that pack.  Yeah he has the speed no doubt.  He just doesn't want it bad enough as the others who usually come home with the "W".
