Has anyone happen to notice that the hondas are fast?
Or are you all to busy comparing your dicks?

Eh, so qualifying 9th and lets say say finishing 9th would be worse than crashing out? Don't think so.
Stoner was very fast at various points on the Desmosedici. Everyone is slating Rossi and Hayden, but don't forget that Stoner was crashing regularly in his fourth season. Yet people are jumping up and down before Rossi's first race on the Desmo. Ridiculous.
Rossi might have a hurting shoulder,and is probarbly going to fade a little from the top 5 the first half.(Guessing)
That's not the biggest questionmark imo.
I'm wondering what the hell Hayden is doing.He should be atleast doing Barbera's laptimes.
I'm guessing the reason could be that he is also trying setups for the future needed for developing the GP11 and 12.
The GP12 has to be ready in a month or so,as I understand to not fall behind.
I don't know,It could be I'm not patient enough and Hayden needs more time too.But judging by what he is saying he's not moving forward since Sepang.

i'm hoping pedbot can keep stoner in check AND hopefully lorenzo can match their pace so we can have a battle at the front!
Yeah we did and they (the ducati crew look pretty scared and worried every time the cameras were on them) they were praying and wanting the ‘The Ducatidesmo God Stoner’ to return to the
According to MotoGP lore, Stoner's 2007 tires were amazing b/c 1. they had a very hard carcass that didn't deform under heavy cornering 2. They had extraordinary edge grip.
According to the rumors on Eurosport, the new Bridgstones are much harder than the 2009 Bridgestone control tire. I think Bridgestone are moving back in the direction that they originally intended when they built Casey Stoners 2007 tire. Rossi has traditionally run a soft front tire. Imo, as the tires move towards Stoner, they move away from Rossi.
Stoner is flying, Rossi is crying (role reversal
i disagree with you completely and your just another rossi bopper (btw I do respect rossi and have always liked him) but the excuses are just not called for a guy that has been there and done it all. And a comment like this is just uncalled for…have a look at the qualifying again and also have a look at the times and as someone said here …stoner is scary that is why hes quick and has done what he did on the duke and now hes doing it on the honda..its just a natural progression and its time that stoner had all the advantages of a proper jap 3 factory support that rossi did have (and got all his w/c's with) and lorenzo has and pedrosa has …now it’s a level playing field except that rossi will never ever win a w/c on the duke as stoner did in his rookie year with the duke and also stoner out qualified rossi on the 2007 duke compared to the 2011 duke (by .5 of a second) what else???? and i can go on and we will go on if we start to comapre the stoner 2007 year to rossi's 2011 year!
I meant soft front tires. IIRC Rossi is known for soft-front hard-rear. The front end feel of the Ducati is giving him fits. Imo, the tires are not helping.
I said before the season that if the ducati is fundamentally flawed and valentino/jb can't fix it rossi might still finish better than stoner's 4th last year as he will ride within its limits and not have the dnfs. I can't see him winning the championship without "fixing" the ducati though.

The North!
1 Stoner
2 Pedrobot
3 Hogay
4 Pieman
5 Hairball
6 Dovi
7 Rossi
8 Bautista
After having a brief discussion with me myself & I we all agree the following changes should be made.
1 Stoner
2 Pedrobot
3 Hogay
4 Hairball
5 Pieman
6 Dovi
7 Rossi
8 Crutchlow
Our reasons are: Firstly obviously Bautista aint there & secondly in a paint swapping battle between the pieman & hairman I reckon hairball will come off best.
soz 2WheelPC but I do. I know you think the other way
Out of interest does anyone have the iOS/Android timing app?
l said l wouldn't buy it because l thought it was a bit to expensive but yesterday just before qualifying and in a moment of weakness l thought .... it and gave apple and the app devs my 15 quid and downloaded it to my iphone.
So at the start of the qualifying session l was watching it on Eurosport and the app was a full 5 seconds in front of what l was seeing on tv, like l was getting the lap times through a full 5 seconds before Toby Moody blurted the times out in his usual fashion.
Impressed so far, gonna be useful for when I'm at work etc.

At least nobody can complain against Ducati engine.
Hector Barbera set a remarkable spot, 329.8 KM/h, 3.2 KM/h more than nearest Honda! and all that with a twin pulse engine! What if it was configured as screamer like Honda... LOL... they wouldn't had a chance in straight.
Ducati always had a very powerful engine, probably since 2003 the most powerful one on the grid.
I don't know the reason, but I can bet desmodromic valves help a bit.

Southern Aridzona - Hell's doorstep.
The Marmosets and Howlers may seem unpleasant at first, but they really aren't too bad once you get to know them. Watch out for the Squirrel named SuperShinya, in the isolated cage over by the lake, he likes to throw turds!
ok here are the facts weather you like it or not
Rossi can not ride the ducati as fast as stoner
the honda is very fast
the honda is very very fast with stoner on it
facts simple as.
However rossi was 3rd in the world championship last year on the m1 he would be i still think top six this year if still on it.
the questioin is now can he make the ducati a rideable bike he can win on
only time will tell
Now can we shut the feck up about rossi and what stoner might of done on the ducati this year
please its boring and was boring after the first test in sepang
rant over
