Especially when his former teammate and toxic manager tried to undermine his every move.
you should of been here in 06........ there was a small band who had to circle the wagons to fend off the yellow hords!!!

No jumkie I am not insane

. But Casey's error was an unforced one (in tennis parlance) but I really expected Rossi to match Casey's pace based on the pre season tests. During FPs and QP I thought VR was sand-bagging but in the race he was even slower. Had Casey stayed on two wheels I have no doubt he could have finished atleast 5-6 secs infront. Moreover, from what we are hearing this cannot be considered a Duc friendly track anymore as they have 'Yamaha'ized their engine.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (L8Braker @ Apr 13 2010, 04:42 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>guys/gals, with all this talk of straight line speed, where else will we see that as a factor in the race? as well someone mentioned the race engineers putting the start/finish way down the straight at Qatar certianly doomed Nicky's podium.

The difference in straightline speed is probably derived from running higher revs and having more outright horsepower. Honda and Ducati should probably have an advantage on every straightaway.

I think your point stands in principle, though. The extra horsepower won't be worth much time at shorter straightaways.

(btw frost, did u change ur number or u just ignoring my text?)


Also, I'm glad to see some old members showing back up.
 
WOW great race and Im LOVING motogp in HD.

As for Nicky Im glad to see him do well and most importantly not get taken out. If members recall, he's had some issues with other riders taking him out, not this time. I honestly think 06 was one hell of a season one of the best to actually watch because the title was up for grabs all the way to the last race. It made for a very exciting season.

Glad to see the season has started up and its nice to be back on PS.
 
Did anybody else watching the eurosport coverage this weekend notice that Julian Ryder mentioned numerous times that Casey was only 0.001 seconds away from the ideal lap time? But if i'm not mistaken his actual best lap was about 3 thenths off the ideal, Casey was quickest in all but one sector (by 0.001s) but i think on different laps.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (michaelm @ Apr 13 2010, 12:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>J4rno is a rational and informed poster who appreciates casey. Catalunya and china 2007 have been attributed to the bike rather than stoner, with which I don't agree, but with the force not strong in me after a stoner loss entirely of his own volition and a belief in politeness/graciousness in defeat which is possibly at least partly of maternal origin I do not feel it is an appropriate time to argue about this, although the phrase catch 22 does come to mind.

Isn't all mitochondrial dna of maternal origin?

Yes, it was a redundant statement induced by too much Sauvignon blanc

Did anybody catch Wind Tunnel on Speed. I heard that Nicky was on it.

Thats how i found this place. It was right after Nicky had won the title, i googled,' Rossi fan boys', and this is where i ended up.

I have done my fair share of defending Haydens honor over the years myself. In time, the haters ended up hating Stoner because he took away the birthright of Rossi in 2007.
 
I've mentioned before that I wasn't a fan of Ben Spies in the classic sense; but today I became a fan.

Will let you know why later.

BTW, He thought Espargaro's block during qualifying was a .... move. (I agree, ....... rookie).

He said he can "understand" Rossi & Lorenzo's speed, but thinks Casey's speed is mind-boggling.

He thinks the Bstones are a great tire, Perellis loose their grip.

He likes the rain. (so watch out)

Oh, and Babel, he said anybody who thinks he's on a factory bike has his head up his .... (Hahaha, I totally thought about you when he said this).

Gotta go.
 
I see lots here overestimating the ducati this year.

We must remember stoner has won at Qatar for the past two years by 6-7 secs or more, the place is ducati/stoner heaven. Without the fuel regs we would have seen rossi on cs's pace as he pretty much was in testing and practice, this of course is yamahas/fiats problem to sort, if the others aren't struggling to finish and can hold 6mph advantages on the straight, then the yam boys seem a bit behind the 8ball.

They'll sort it, and motegi is a much different animal......

What a shame you found it looking for people you hate and want to take the piss out of, start with a negative......... I found it looking for motogp discussions, I've actually found more stoner boppers here anyway. I do remember it being much different in 06 of course

Talpa, when was the last time you were on the GP10?

Yamaha dominated twice at the same circuit during testing when there was no engine life limit. Now that the engine rules are being enforced, Rossi is no where near his 1.55.4 lap time he set at Qatar during testing. Stoner was only .2 slower.

No one is overestimating the Ducati. The only thing that remains to be seen is how the engine reliability rules play out.

That's pretty much what I posted, and of course it's yamahas problem or maybe they are the clever ones? It's a long season with six engines........

There just seems to be a lot of hype about how fast the duck is. I'm just saying that it's nothing new at Qatar. We will have to see if it continues or if it goes the same way as the past two seasons, judging by the strength of fiat Yamaha I'd say the latter is more likely
