I meant just the look of the manager, and not the bike.
But surely something is wrong with the bike.
Casey wasn't comfortable with his bike also, and he just did a good enough job to bring it home where he should.
Nice to see him fight for that 4th, when i thought the race was finished for him and he'll be finishing at 6th.
DNF in Qatar, 7th in Jerez, last in Le mans, DNF in Mugello.
16th in the standings.
Take that into account.
Wow,what a day! Excellent result for Dani,thet seem to be making headway at Honda.Ducati going backwards a little,I don`t know. Even without Vale the racing is gonna be entertaining with the Dani and Jorge battle.Only grump I have is Nicky binning it and Bens failure to keep with it in the opening laps.........roll on Silverstone!!!
There is a seprate race thread for your kind information which is already sitting at its 3rd page
Michael you mean when front not pushed so hard
By the way Nicky today didn't look for any excuses, he put his hand up like a champion and admitted that crash was his fault.

Michael you mean when front not pushed so hard, because that is what Casey has been saying about his crashes that he was taking it easy and by doing that he wasn't putting enough pressure on the front tyre unless you heard something different.

Almost every crash is the fault of the rider, but many times there are also reasons for it.

Yes but I think Inam subscribes to the thought that luck is the biggest riding factor and that the rider should not seek to find difficulties with handling.

He said this after qatar. He said he had no explanation for the second crash but did not to my knowledge deny he was at fault. I would infer that the front tyres not warming up adequately is still under question since they went with medium compound tyres at this race. Given rossi's season long complaints about his tyres in 2007 I would not have thought this is a fruitful line of argument for a rossi fan.
I think and have said that these bikes are now far more dangerous than their precursors with the now ridiculous corner speed and apparent lack of feedback as to when they are going to let go, as the first significant crash of valentino's career on what is supposed to be the best handling bike unfortunately illustrates.
