Its pretty simple. You say the machinary shouldn't figure in the results of the racing. I suggest that a one make series is the way to achieve that. I'm sure we both agree that Grand Prix racing is far superior in spectacle to a one make series. You then saaid that TC is a relitively new thing, which it is. But I remind you that bike development affecting the results in prototype racing is nothing close to a new concept. It has always been a part of Grand Prix racing and without it we would essentialy have a much lesser formula. I especially feel that TC and electronics is a vital area for the progression of vehicle development and although rules regarding it may not be ideal when as unrestricted as they are, i think a ban would be a big blow.

You have to feel a bit sorry for the Pedrobot, if it wasnt his fault..
Hopper was apparently re-enacting the incident as all the riders gathered for Abe's minutes silence
Im sure MiniP would have been hanging his head in shame, Hopper must not like Asimo much, remember the whole 'rabbit ears' in the press conference photos earlier this year? Bully = Hopper? Nerd = Pedders?

At last someone gets it !!
I'd give you the winning lollipo if I was nearby you however I fear it would turn sticky over the tropics "intransit" so I have therefore eaten the lollipop on your behalf.

Yep, gotta feel for Dani, he's bound to be pretty pissed about it. That .... ..... with your head, you wouldn't be too confident in just dumping the clutch off the start line on Sunday after that would you?

Didn't the same thing happen to Hayden last year on the 990? I believe he got it back down though and saved a little face.
yep he held on to it.

i had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. is this launch control just a 2 stage rev limiter like the drag boys use ?

Here is superbike planets quote on the incident
Notes:
Warm-up went to plan until it came to the practice starts after the flag went out. Dani Pedrosa hit the launch
control button, dumped the clutch and promptly looped his Honda. Dani wasn't hurt but John Hopkins, lined up
behind Dani to do his own start, looked as if he might have sprung a rib laughing.

Wonder what Hopper was doing/saying as he pulled up next to Asimo?

Merged the two (three) threads on this topic.
I thought this was a little bit funny. However that is the case just because of how it looked, not because of who its was. I do not fit into the group of people who are sat waiting for bad things to happen to dani and laughing just because they hate him. Get over it guys.
