No, he likes to think he's controversial which makes him look like a plonker sometimes

^^^Interesting observation, where was this fire before? Maybe he needs a race by race contract to keep him motivated in the futuer.

just goes to show that you can educate the village ..... but they will still be the village ..... just know a few bigger words

The Rolling Stones are back with the movie "Shine a Light", but this time they will have another member who is also back.... ROLLING STONER

I wonder who will he blame this time for his fall

But it is a sad day for us Pinky is gone forever

For Stoner.... he's DONE.

And he was checking his handle bar also, before he retired.

How can Pedrosa be testing B's when he still is contracted with M's

As I remember Rossi couldn't do the November tests on B's until after the new year when his contract was expired

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mylexicon @ Aug 31 2008, 03:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Another fine example of Rossi picking up an undeserved win. The cruisin' caretaker watches Casey clear off then waits for a crash or mechanical failure. We know somebody else who used to do that.
How ironic,this statement is coming from nicky hayden's fan, you got some balls to say this mate all i can say.

He could be buying his way out or HRC are buying the way out for him.....or Dani personally may not be under a Michelin contract

Besides insulting Rossi, I'm not being controversial. He's a country mile behind in every race then he grandstands on the box. The only reason he's in contention is b/c the governing body intervened to give him exactly what he wants. It was coming in 2009 one way or the other, I find his behavior over the last season to be most disagreeable.

Ezy got a glimpse of the 2008 season in Qatar and he wasn't having any of it. That's why Rossi is where he is.

I'll give Rossi/Burgess credit for making massive improvements to the bike. They are still the best development team in the paddock. Futhermore, I'll give Rossi credit for keeping the bike upright and using perfect race craft.

Credit for the championship? No way in hell. The only pressure Vale has been applying is on the scoreboard. That lead was handed to him by Ezmerelda and the other people who can't stand to watch the consequences of true prototype racing.

While I'm not a huge fan of heavily restricted modern prototype racing, I don't particularly relish the idea of destroying it by handing out favors to one rider. Level the playing field for all. I wanna see what's going to happen not what DORNA thinks is supposed to happen.

Don't forget, HRC rules the world !

because michilin have conceded and let hrc out of the contract probably because they feel there tyres are as good as stones now and letting dani switch will prove this if he gets his ... kicked again by the likes of lorenzo.

Lot of people are very critical of dani's decision to switch tyre manf but if he is not happy with the tyres ,he got every right to change to stones i mean even today michlen they were no match to stones.The only reason lorenzo was 3 sec behind rossi because he wasn't pushing hard if CS stayed on the bike for bit longer lap pace would have been into late 1.34.I am fan of rossi but still like to see dani and lorenzo fighting for Ist place with rossi and CS and if dani thinks he can achieve that with stones then good luck to him.

Come on Lex, Pinky can't be smarter than you !?

Well done Valentino 2008 WC is in the bag

Great ride by Lorenzo and JT to hold 6th at the end

Funny what the eurosport guys were saying about Tony, who would have put money on him being the leading Ducati in the last two races Well done Tony

Casey 3 in a row, so much for your fans voodoo
These last 3 races have been shocking, the guy is so fast but yet on race day it all goes pear shaped, I think Casey is turning into a bit of a chicken .... really, sure he has it to go fast but he'd rather force himself into a 2 DNF's than make a battle of it , Vale really messed him up at Laguna

Bring it on home Vale

yeah but mid season ?? come on, talk about jumping ship. michilin tried to help at the brno test but where was dani ? he was sunning himself with his girl friend on puigs yatch. i think doohan was right when he said the problem with dani is the people around him.

I have no idea what are you talking about and what changes they made which favours rossi, all rossi wanted stones at the end of 2007 season which he got every right in the world and now we can see why as well.
I don't think real doctor can help you now its too late the only place for you is now mental hospital.
