tis TRUE

I don't know about Quality...Perdo sucks J/K

Regardless of how good or bad the dude at the back was..it was more exciting...

and lapping 20 riders always made it interesting

KR not on the list either.

i think 30-35-40 would be a bit too much
but 20-25 would be fine

How about a starting grid like this

I don't think they make wet tires that good in Moto GP

I was thinking more like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlgvscEDx3s

I miss the days of old alot, where the racing was so close and the crashes where brutal...

Barring on some injuries and some DNF's I think at some point we may see only 14 or so riders on the grid.

6 Hondas in a field of 18 in Moto GP..

What is little Aoyama doing there? Couldn't he get another seat in a 250 team?

no place on a proper gp team. so send him to sbk for a bit of big bike racing. then honda will get him a seat on an rcv. maybe nakanos ride. or nickys when his contract runs out at the end of this season. guess it would be less friction in the team with a nice polite unintimadating close to the same size japanese fellow in the team so as not to upset pedrochio.

Hope we're talking about Randy...
He is crazy! I just saw the video where he takes out Dani and Dani is furious!
Hahahaha...
