how long before nicky is moved to a "B" team ?
first off, let me say i'm a great admirer of NH and thought it was a breath of fresh air when he beat Rossi to the title..................
but, oh dear, nothing since , partly , in my opinion, 'cos big hH have staked their rep on pedro ( honda might sell more in the states but spain is, i'd guess , more suseptable to "buyer power " by local sucess ).
i'm thinking back to world sbks a few years ago, one of the Bostroms couldnt buy a point, move him the a duke "b " squad and away he went, he thrived on the freedom from pressure that a sat team meant.........................
anyone think nicky could be the same (its fairly obvious hes not gonna stay with repsol i'd say )
i'll duck down behind the bulletproof glass about now ...........

In a perfect world Nicky would get some great results this year and then tell Honda to go .... themselves. I think that Nicky is experiencing what Stoner was on the Honda. He still has the talent to compete at this level he just needs some confidence and a package to suit his needs. It may be on a satelite team. You ask how long, we will find out at the end of the season. Judging from Pedro's reaction to his own result in Qatar I am guessing there is more at stake in each of these races than the public eye knows.
 
i was thinking more in terms of a "mid season " move, ie, after a few races

What are you a ....... .....? He is not Jacque, he's a ............. MotoGP champion. If he gets the boot at the end of this year I hope he will leave Honda and not go satellite, if he does I will never be a fan again because I would believe he just likes to suck with Honda. How can you even ask a question like that? That's like asking will Rossi go to HRC mid season?!?!? .... NO, NOW GET THE .... OUT! Do you even know anything about MotoGP? I feed you to the Dogs!
 
an interesting team would by Nicky and Roger Lee on a team. not sure where they would go... factory kawi seems like a good choice but they put their $ on Hopper (West is gone after 08 or maybe sooner) so there's only 1 spot unless they do 3 bikes or a satellite team. suzuki? satellite honda team?

Well to do that Nicky and Honda would have to come to an agreement about his contract. Not sure on the logistics of it but Nicky is with Honda till the end of the season as far as what is written on his contract. Its possible though.

Hahaha, did somebody miss their medication today? Hahaha, all I could do was laugh at this post.

Your type of reaction should be saved for this crazy thread>>> LINK

Dude, take a chill pill man. He wasn't trying to troll; it was a rather honest question. Anyway, why should you care, you already told everybody you're no longer gonna watch MotoGP.

To start with,Nicky aint going nowhere till the end of the season when his contract expires.Second,bike sales in Spain aint got a damn thing to do with nothing.Its Repsol that has all to do with it,Spanish Company,Spanish Rider,you figure it out.Nicky was never intended to be the man at Repsol Honda but a strange thing happened on the way to the 06 GP championship.Honda has not known weather to .... or wind their watch ever since.I personally would like to see the Daytona Group get a sponsor that would lure him back to the AMA for around 4-5 million a year so he could be where he is appreciated and save the AMA at the same time.

Nevermind a Sattelite for next year, he could have the space shuttle and still finish behind Stoner, Rossi and Horhey the way things are just now.

Hopefully kick Pedrochio's wooden butt tho....

Hey! we could always get Scud involved in this new Space Race, America shot down a sattelite recently, I'm sure whatever we put in front of Scud, he could take it down, no worries. We could even start calling him "Patriot"

Why go to a satellite team?

He needs to WSBK and help Honda develop the WSBK weapon to end all WSBK weapons then do what Nicky does best.

SELL

That's right. Dance for em Nick on the track and off. Take your championships and your $$ and laugh all the way to the bank.

Did anyone else notice Nicky showing a "For Sale" sign on the starting grid? I wonder what he was implying?

I finally got to see the race today(I've been sick) off the motogp website. He shows it to the camera in a split second but no one made any mention. All I saw and could make out was "For Sale"
 
Hey Noodledick, Weren't you leaving us? Not watching MotoGP any more?

Such an attack on someone for asking a question that they thought was legit is embarrasing for you. I am embarrased for you.

When are you pissing off? Please say soon!

......l think you'll find this is what he was implying, his helmet is up for auction on ebay for some charity. Mika Kallio also had a "for sale" sticker on his helmet before the 250 race. LINKAGE
