this is nothing more than pinky fantasizing. only he/she or mcn could think up such ......
anyone who has followed gp for the last decade will now only one thing is in rossis mind when he is on the track "winning"

Totally agree...All Rossi wants to do is win.
He's not the type to 'sandbag' anything. If Rossi has got any influence as far as tyres go, he can use it off the track. He'd push that bike round the track if it meant a podium.
Cant see the one tyre rule happening anyway. More likely Rossi will be using Bridgestones next season, which will make some fantastic racing between him and Stoner. Lets face it, we need some good races.

rossi fan i am,i agree with you totally but i dont wanna see fantastic racing between just rossi and stoner, i want to see competative racing between all the riders, i mean if its just rossi and stoner battling its gonna be no different to hamilton and alonso in f1 and that sux.
this is the pinnicle of bike racing so i sugest that michelin and the bike manuafacturers get there fingers out there ... and start gettin it together cos i really dont wanna see f1 style motogp next year.

For once Pinky what you said holds some water i guess.

rossi definitly sandbagging!

pedrosa just as fast in qualifier as the bridgestone



different bike, rider etc etc

you dont half talk some pish pinkywinky!

He must of been sandbagging all last year as well, all those times he barely qualified in the top 10.

Yer, id say it means u can eat ur words Pinky.. Not trying my arse, wheres Edwards?

Rossi was riding as hard as the yam could do, he was 4seconds off De Punt but at the line it was 1 second.

yeah, sandbagging my arse !!

I think he was just a bit demoralized after he seen how crap it was on Friday but he put in a decent race fastest times he had done all weekend right on Caseys pace but unfortunately too far behind.

rossi ended up 2 positions behind pedrosa and only 4 seconds off first place.... pretty convenient isnt that?


You must be joking?
With Pedrosa (Michelin) on the top all weekend and himself on race pace, not even falling off at the end, proved that nothing was really wrong with the tires. In fact come race day it was one of the few races this year where tires didn't seem to make an impact on the result. Rossi medicore result was down to two reasons,
1. He did a couple of misstakes on his last qualifier lap and ended up 9th on the grid.
2. he was not faster than the guys in front of him when he was up to fith.
This was quite clear to see for anone who bothered. Anyone looking for confirmation on tire problems got proof for the oposite.
