I really really really want to believe this. But I can't see Hayden beating Pedrosa on an 800 labeled REPSOL.

It aint gonna happen. Too many company/sponsor resources flowing in the Puig/Pedrosa direction.


What a load of rubbish. If Hayden is a better rider than Dani he will beat him, end of story.

That's going to require him to beat one of the following. Stoner, Pedrosa, Rossi.

All of them have machinery built for them. None of them are stuck with development responsibilities.



Rossi and Stoner are quite clearly responsible for the development of their bikes, Dani too has shared development duties with Nicky, so its pretty balanced overall.

If company/sponsor resources decided races then we wouldn't watch. Not saying that they aren't a big contributing factor. It would be intersting to see the budget of each company. I would think that Ducati would be very far down on the list and they won this year.

First, with this field no rookie is going to win this year, so that is a waste of money. I think that Hayden at 28 is a slap in the face however a lot of people may think that about right for him. For the sneaker attack, I think it may be Capirossi. Who knows, its still too early to tell. How about Melandri's odds despite the pitiful, aweful practices he displyed.

Bloody religious diatribe.

Melandri, Vermeulen, and Capirossi all seem tempting to put some money on. Probably because those are three of my favorite riders and I've had a gambling hobby (its not a gambling problem until you've lost more than you've won) since I was 10.

501 is ridiculous, .... I'd put a dollar down on both Edwards and Elias if I had a chance of winning 500.
