That's a good one.


if it ain't broke don't fix it

KRUSTY is trying to pull the wool over your eyes, this is the real livery that rossi and edwards will be using this weekend.

so why did they paint a lobster on the side, i dont get it

^^^^ Yeah, that's about right, except those tires look like they will have a bit more grip than those ...... Michelins.

Are Honda gonna cruise in with their one off Billy and Captain America paintjobs?

Pete

I like it.
Looks old school
Watching the race on Motogp.com at low resolution it is very hard to tell the difference between the Yams and the Gresini paintjob so this will help

It's a scorpion, part of the Abarth logo.

Why didnt they do a ABE tribute bike instead?


Because these things take weeks to design and execute and there were only 4 days between the time poor Abe copped it and the beginning of qualifying.

its a bit dull, bet rossi has a special helmet for Abe this weekend


Same for the helmet. Drudi's good but he can't come up with a work of art, finished to racing spec, in 4 days.

I'm sure the tributes will come later. Maybe for an anniversary or something.

I guess Rossi will have a special Abe something up his sleeve. We'll have to wait and see.

Good to see yamaha supporting The Scorpion. Maybe it's a hint as to who will replace Rossi when he retires. Two years time after winning the 250s perhaps?!

For those of you who don't know what i'm talking (joking) about....The Scorpion is Mika Kallio!

I see Rossi was wearing a new helmet design today and will be tomorrow. It's quite a colourful take on his current regular helmet.

Aboriginal design - best helmet he's ever had. I want one.
