He should be embarrass.... , look at Dovizioso with his michelin shod satellite Honda finishing way in front of him. What's his excuse for that?? If he's emabarrass now just wait til Dovizioso pairs up with him at HRC, thats if he gets the ride which he deserves.

true...even so i don't think Pedrosa can outride Dovizioso. Pedrosa needs everything to be perferct for him to get good results, whereas Dovizioso can ride the snot out of a bike, adapting to the characteristics of the bike and making the most out of it. Just read his comments after the race., he said he had to adjust his riding style, thus being able to finish as high as he did on crappy tires.... he's the leading michelin rider to cross the line. In my humble opinion, Dovizioso is the only rider who is capable of taking it to Valentino Rossi... i just hope Honda realizes that and give him full factory support so that he can bring back Honda's Glory.

Well, "the only rider who is capable of taking it to Valentino Rossi" was a bit over the top wasn't it. So far Dovi has beaten Rossi once or twice. Pedrosa quite a few more times. He may be better at working around problems but Pedrosa has been quite bit faster so far this season. Pedrosa has also won races this year, not Dovi.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dovi and I know he doesn't have factory support but let's wait and see until he is on the HRC team next year and see if he start winning races and actually take it to VR.

Michelin shouldn't be upset - somebody has to come last.
I don't think Dovi is the only rider who can take it Valentino. I think at different times this year Dani and Jorge showed they were up to the task and there is no doubt about Casey who only has one win less than Vale this year can take it to the man.
Dovi may be able to join the challengers but he won’t be Robinson Crusoe. He probably won’t even be the best challenger BUT he was 2nd in the 250 championship on an under supported bike and that precedent does have a degree of success attached to it. You never know.

According to the ...... announcers on the US telecast,Dovi's ride will be available next year which led me to believe that him going to Repsol is a done deal.Of course,what the .... does Greg White know.He was paired with Doohan for the telecast and maybe Doohan does know whats going on with Honda.

Well whoever anounces Speed channel said during the 250 race that Takahashi was going to the Scott team. So yeah it seems there are some done deals out there that haven't been formaly announced.

i think that is more of a protest than being lazy.
and i'm not sure that i agree with dirtyd86. i don't think that's typical of pedrosa. seems i'd expect that outta edwards not dani.

It's a loose loose situation with Pedrosa on this forum.
We have one tread bashing Michelin for ...... tires and a ...... job and another bashing Pedrosa for doing the same.
Give the guy a brake, he just said what every Michelin rider feel.

Yup.. rossi spoke up last year, this year the others are. If I remember, Pedrosa wanted top switch to Stones too at the beginning of the season but HRC convinced him to stick with Michelin.

Yeah cause Bridgestone wanted no part of that action. Plus Ezy stated that IF they didn't take on Vale there would be a move to switch to a single tire rule which BS said they wouldn't be able support.

I can't believe you people are slamming the .... out of Dani in this thread. Didn't you see when the Tech 3 boys passed him he was hardly leaning the bike into the corners. Not only was Dani suffering badly from his broken bones in his hands but it was pretty damn obvious that the Michelins were nothing short of a complete embarressment to themselves, Honda and Yamaha at Brno.
The top Michelin was Dovi in 9th, with only two Bridgestones finishing behind him, bring on the one tyre rule as soon as possible to give Dani, Dovi, Lorenzo etc an equal chance because its ....... disgusting at the moment.

Danu deserves to be slammed cause he is a little ...... The hell with him and anything he does. I hope he finishes last every race til he decides to go make his boyfriend a good husband.

Ok then if Dani's a little ..... so is Vale for complaining time after time about Bridgestone last year, you lot are biast .......s who need to do research before they slam Dani for doing pretty much the same thing as Vale did last year.

None of these riders deserve to be slammed for talking out about the tire issues. The real question last years was why was Rossi the only one publicly pushing for new tires. The tire situation has gotten bad enough that all riders are now having meetings with Dorna requesting a single tire manufacture and Dani's manager was trying to get all the michalin riders to pull in after the sigthing lap in protest. http://www.motogpmatters.com/report/2008/0...urning_poi.html
The reports say that a few of the Bridgestone riders voted against a single tire rule. I wonder which ones they were?

Dani came in last place, well RDP was going to pass him soon and he crashed. Anyway, he gave up. He pulled a Melandri out there basically. I'm not giving Melandri a pass and I'm not giving Pedro a pass. When asked about his injuries he said he still has pain but it is do able. He should have at least been the first Michelin rider home. Hayden gets ripped for Dovi beating him. So should Dani. I have no respect for riders that give up. I had much respect for Dani after crashing in Assen then trying to ride the next weekend. There really is no excuse for this. Slam Michelin yes, but don't give up. This on the other hand is why I am such a big fan of Dovi, always even in 250cc he has had less equipment but always gives 100%
