I'm pretty new here but am loving all the discussion about the coming season.
The .9 second advantage of the Honda
Rossi's poor form in testing
The wall at Yamaha
I think even without the .9 second advantage the Stoner and Pedrosa would still be competitive. Looks like there is more to come.
I don't think the wall will be resurrected at Yamaha. Lorenzo proved with or without it he could win and had no problem with a top teammate. I think both have speed they didn't show.
Rossi's form leaves a lot of questions, but the M1 was junk when Val and Jeremy got hold of it. Rossi very well could be just taking his time to make sure he is fit come the first race.
I highly doubt this though as if you don't push to the limit you don't know what to expect. That's why it's always funny when journalists test these bikes, are way off backmarker pace and think what they say has any merit.
I am a fan of bike sport, and while I do like a few riders and not others, it is not as if I don't respect their skill.
My favorite racer hasn't raced bikes in years but I do have 3 I route for. Stoner, Spies and Lorenzo.
