Thats what im saying, if these speeds are to fast for the Duc front end, they are in serious trouble. By the way, where did that gorgeous bud go, did you try and smoke it
<



haha , i've never had anything like that,after all that would be illegal
<

just looking forward to riding my bmw again, as much as i love winter for being 125cc time,i can't wait to get on a big bike again







i'm wondering about nicky,playing safe or is he just not capable of pulling off rossis time?



edit: ok so not exactly the sort of frond end crash as you'd expect from a ducati but still,rossi failing to get the bike stopped in time?rossi?

Anyone seen this. Let the conspiracy theories begin



A Marketing Service Agreement was signed between Rossi and Bridgestone Europe in February 2011. Under the agreement, Valentino Rossi and Bridgestone will work together to promote the passion of motorcycling to end users and enthusiasts throughout Europe. Rossi will act alone as a professional rider; his MotoGP team and sponsors are not involved in the deal.



Rossi’s role will include his evaluation and opinions as an Adviser on the performance of Bridgestone motorcycle tyres, particularly in the hyper sport, racing and sport touring sectors. Bridgestone in turn will use his input in tyre development to deliver road tyres with better performance and improved safety margins.
 
Time to recalculate the odds, Spies may turn out to be the favorite after all.



Nicky is struggling or testing, not sure.



Pov, what conspiracy are you talking about/ They already told us, its an exclusive contract excluding other riders, not much too imagine there. Go Rossi!

I've gotten so used to these kinds of things that I can't even be bothered to be shocked and appalled anymore.

hehe, how true.



By the way, I see (Kropotkins twitter) that Ducati have scrapped all the new flex parts. Are they really that lost?
