is the yamaha team playing games
<
rossi and edwards way down the field Sete gets pole seemingly happy comes in too late to get another tyre, both rossi and edwards get onto the front row

i know its allways been a tactic to do your quickest lap as late as possible but those yamaha's are going from way off the pace to leading the pack
<

and i thought Le Mans didnt suit the Yamaha's
<

nice to see Kawasaki performing
<

hope KTM have got good breakdown cover

arryace, i always thought le mans did suit the yams its just rossi dosnt like the track that much, if i remember right checa did ok last year 2nd wasnt it,
ur right bout yamaha playing games cus i cant work them out this year

I read something about the track suiting the Hondas but that clearly wasn't the case after all. I wouldn't say Yamaha is playing any more psychological games than anyone else, when you have a garage formed around Jeremy Burgess and Valentino Rossi you are going to inherit the precise judgement that comes from those two. From working solely on race set-up in all sessions to putting on a Q and beating the checkered flag by twenty seconds with a flyer.
 
we know the teams do it but it just seems the yamaha team are making it a bit obvious one session vale says the bike is un rideable then he goes out the following day and wins are you telling me that yamaha can fix suspension problems without the bike going out on track

or maybe they are just takin the pee

arryace, 4 sure they was having front end problems early on, the front was moving and rossi wasnt going into the corners with confidence as last term,
but seems ok at moment..
