Ducati being better than Yamaha is false, even Rossi's comment of the two being equal isn't true. The fact of the matter is the M1 has been fine for the past few weeks but Rossi has had bad luck. The Bridgestone mounted Ducati and the Michelin shod Yamaha are close, but Rossi is on the superior package. He had a great ride don't get me wrong, but Cappers was riding out of his mind.

And even if the Ducati was on the same level as the multi sqillion dollar, Rossi-developed M1, it`s still not on the good rubber like Rossi`s bike

Crazier than Lorenzo and more Ruthless than Rossi. With a bucketload of skill to boot. But after the race it`s always the same, friendly, ugly smile.

Hard to say, the Ducati has proven to be reliable and quick this season but the Bridgestones have been problematic at certain rounds. I would say he would be on similar points to Capirossi but would have a win or two more to his name.

In what ways do you mean the Yamaha are better?
For sure it is slower on the straights as we saw at Mugello, that means it must have other qualities that make it better. The ducs were quite nervous on the straight but it didn't seem to bother the riders.

Just wondering

the M1`s big bang firing order gives it beutiful power delivery and tyre conservation ability, and until the chatter problems came around, it was the top handler.

Richo's got it right there. I haven't heard any talk of chatter since before China so I must assume the new chassis has solved that problem. That being said, it is one of the best, if not the best, handlers in the series. And Richo couldn't be more right about the Yamaha big bang being easy on tires, Rossi was on softs in Mugello and had enough to hold off Capirossi's medium medium combination and Hayden's medium hard combination. And any bike that is under the careful eye of Jeremy Burgess is bound to be one of the best on the grid.

All that being said, Winner is right. The Honda is the best bike on the grid.

So that means we'll be back to normal Moto GP now eh guys? Rossi winning and a usual little scrap behind him which ends with one or two riders crashing or gonig right back down the grid.

You need to add Vale's right wrist and fingers.

My eyes bulked when I heard Soft front during the race, and after after the race I do agree with ya more than ever about Jeremy.

I agree, this was evident in the last race, Loris was struggling with the Duke to maintain grip. Rossi was so smooth on the Michelins.

i prefer using the word RCV over Honda, but that`s true. The RCV is the best bike. But Ducati and Yamaha (while they`ve got Rossi) aren`t too far behind

You're absolutely right and that's why the racing has been so close. You have Rossi on a very strong Yamaha package, Capirossi on a similarly strong Ducati package and a gaggle of young and talented riders aboard the strongest package out there, the RC211V. This is why on any given weekend you have at least six potential winners (Rossi, Capirossi, Hayden, Melandri, Pedrosa and Stoner) and then add in guys like Gibernau, Hopkins, Edwards and Nakano to the mix at certain rounds and the fight at the front is spectacular.

Let`s hope it can continue into the 800cc era, seriously doubt they`ll all stay level, though.

You're right richo. Honda say they plan on keeping the same number of bikes on the grid in 2007 as they have in 2006. Now I don't know if some teams/riders will be equipped with limited 990s or if HRC plan on providing full on 800s to each. But if Honda do supply full on 800s to six riders and 800cc powerplants to Team KR while Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati and realistically Yamaha are struggling to put the two factory 800s on the grid, what does that say about the rest of the field's chances?

Doesn't the Ducati use big bang too? Besides, as long as I've been watching Rossi, from his 250 days, there is one thing that allways has separated him from the rest and that is how early he is on power out of the turns. 2004 must have been the season he perfected that technique. Massivly underpowered he still gained early and lost little or nothing exiting the turns bit lost a lot on the long straights. So how much the Yamaha motor and chassi actually has to do with it is an open issue to me.

Look at Hayden and Pedrose and how different those bikes behave. Allthough different bikes I bet most of the difference is rider and his choise of setup.

apperantly it has to do with him looking down at the track in front of his wheel instead of looking down the track to where he's going like everyone else. just read an interesting article about it.

theres a lot of good points being said ere, i like the one with rossi trying to lay the power down as soon as possible which may be true, early days it must be so easy to move the bike where u want it cus of the lightness, but with the big bikes im sure its the yam and its nimblessness, but hasnt rossi been on different lines to most wotever hes been on? the only one that ive seen close is marco, or a very light person as in ickle dani...
