Pedrosa's Last Chance To Be Champion?

I think it's shaping up to be an epic battle and to be honest I can't wait for it all to start!  I think there's a good chance of multiple winners this seaon to keep us all on the edge of our seats. I don't think Rossi has 'lost it', I also believe Marques will be out to make his mark, add to that Lorenzo will want to defend his championship and Pedrosa is desperate to finally win and it has all the ingredients of a great season.

would be even better if we hadn't lost the 2 most exciting riders of the decade :(


 


 


Did anyone notice how much pressure Honda were under until Casey left, then it all disappeared  For a while they were at a war of words with Dorna over technical rules and the like and now the heat is off. 


 


I have given a small amount of thought to this and it seems that Dorna has only had one goal from 2007 onward  perhaps even 2006 onward. 


 


I love how we lost Casey Stoner as the Aussie rider to be replaced by Chris (what have you done for me lately) Vermeulen and Bryan Staring (A good SBK rider, but not great). 


 


All the Americans are on Ducati's, and the Aussies on CRT's. The pecking order complete, only Spanish and Italian riders on the 4 bikes that could win the championship and Rossi is one of them.

'Scuse me! The please explain the subtle psychological difference between shattered confidence and shattered air of invincability to those of us who do not possess your doctorate in the subject!   :hunter:


 


You are correct on the maths, it would be 6 or 7 spots, I rounded up for dramatic effect!!  :cc_scooter:


 


(I broke into Roo's emoticon stash!!!!)


 


Rossi's confidence is in his own mind, and I believe it is still strong enough (along with his skills) to keep him at the front of races, his air of invincibility is in the mind of his rivals, or more to the point it isn't anymore.  They all KNOW they can beat him, so I wouldn't expect anyone falling off their bike because his name is on their pitboard like Gibernau used to

This is not the question of confidence. The real question hanging over Rossi's head is, does he has the talent to win it on equal grounds?

History had shown that most of his titles are won due to luck.
 
This thread is quite jarring.  It's as close to a Pedrosa lovefest as you can get on PS.  Some haters might have lost their minds. :p

Hayden and Spies aren't gone... just riding for Ducati.


 


I know that is a moot point, but still... a bit previous!

Now now that wasn't luck ...... merely a condition of the times. There just happened to be no real riders in GP at the time of the early ones and in 08 and 09 the real rider ( a known cunning coward apparently :lol: :lol: :lol: ) was on a "vibrator" that did nothing but cause pain for any rider who just happened to have a modicum of sand in their .......


 


How bad were the riders in MGP if they get whooped by a quitter cunning coward!!?? :lol: :lol: :lol:


 


 


 


PS. No Rossi does not have as much talent as he does ambition ( where "ambition" can be defined as "wannabeism" ).
 
I had one embedded in my sinus for 30 years... Had it removed and my IQ went up 100 points!! No wait, that was Homer!!
