Why not??

Isn't Bradley a regular visitor at Stoner's place in Europe? ( did I read that somewhere? ). If so is it another Chaz Davies situation? ie. maybe Stoner is backing him for a test?
 
I actually feel bad for Dani. He is worldclass but these injuries are going to finish him. If he and Dovi were both healthy I'd say Honda has 2 of the best riders on the grid and double podiums will happen this year. The bike doesn't look that bad to me. And as far as Hayden goes he is making progress with a 9th place in the bag if not for a rear brake problem. So gaining 5-8 positions from the start of the year on the hardest bike in the paddock to ride is progress in my book. Funny how he has had some serious smackdowns this year also and he is still racing. Is it just his size that allows him to recover while Pedrosa is sidelined? Personally, I hope Dani stays for a long time.

well its funny you that because casey was there at mugello patting bradley on the back and they seemed very pally towards each other. one of the bbc commentators asked the question, could they jump him from 125 straight into the 800 class ? Altho the bbc commentators know bugger all its food for thought, but now you mention chaz it really has me wondering.
 
HRC needs to forget about the next Spanish rider and focus on THEIR riders..... Hiroshi Aoyama and Ryuichi Kiyonari. These 2 have what it takes to win.

As far as Dani Pedrosa goes, the guy is fast but he just doesn't have the IT factor to him. I've yet to see him battle it out on track and show that he's capable of some kind of battle tactics. His style is just checking out on the open road when the bike is set-up perfectly. But if the bike has any minor problems at all... he just can't ride through it and seems to give up. IMO he is not the leader type to take charge of the team and lead them to a championship.

There you go with the "IT" factor again. Stfu man

Kiyo? Really? And you're talking about the "it" factor? He's in his second season on the Ten Kate bike and is regularly being shown up by his teammate in Jonny Rea and Leon Haslam on the satellite Honda. I was a big fan of Kiyo's when he was in BSB, now I don't think he's got that "it" factor as you like to call it.
 
Top 4 in MotoGP 3 years in a row and 3 world championships. Man you assign the IT factor pretty harshly. Dani has been a warrior this year.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Teomolca @ Jun 1 2009, 02:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I think it would be Rossi, he's got the skills and the crew to develop a bike, he's towards the end of his career, and he still owes a lot to the Italian tax agency so IMO he would be the one most tempted to accept a big $$$ offer from Honda.
this is the same thing i've been thinking since last season.

I would like to see this, to see if he could back up his claim that he or Stoner could win on the Honda.

It's really not looking good this year for a championship for Pedro.

This site doesn't give give any specific motorbike injury facts, but you'll get the gist.

I know I'm paying for my mispent youth ( injurywise ) but gee you have to wonder how Dani is going to go in later life when all those old injuries seem to start to revisit you?

I hope it works out for the guy, he's a tough little bugger, be a shame if it ruined him.

Its very unlikely he is going to leave yamaha. Also rossi is not in his 20's so the age also plays a crucial part.

Maybe in his last season he will go to ducati and sort the ....... thing out. Might take a season but you can bet after that season everybody will be able to ride it. Wonder how much ducati would pay to get vale and JB on board for a season ? could be a nice retirment package for the pair of them.

Holy ...., it would take more money than Ducati could pay to get those two over there, but man it would be interesting to see what Burgess could do with the Duc.

Thanks for a good laugh ... there are so many posts here about Pinky = #27. Obviously your other user account is "Haga"!

Kiyo ... what a joke! I have read so much about him being the next big thing ... but I just keep waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting! He will never win anything on a world level. He may have been good in a British series but it just goes to show ....

As for Aoyama ...

LOL LOLL LOL LOL cough cough LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. Those 2 japanese guys suck. They don't win so that would mean they don't have it. Haga is the only Japanese rider worth anything. He embodies that samurai spirit.

If Rossi was a man, he'd do it for free. And once and for all prove he is the GOAT. But he's not and he won't.
