Turkey SPOILER

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ Apr 24 2007, 08:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>good pictures but i just cant quite rule out contact with pedrosa and oj in frame 2. but i am open minded on the subject

Good point Roger, although even if Pedrosa and Jaque touched a bit not necessarily would have caused an accident, I guess it was when Jaque reached Eduards maybe…

Heroic, but pointless effort by Rossi.

Thanks phleg… Pointless, risky and maybe even silly… but still have to admire it!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (phleg @ Apr 24 2007, 08:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>If you look at it, the bike isn't over THAT much compared to the others.

Amazing to be that confident in hanging off it though.

It’s like his position I guess, because his head is inside more than others like Eduards!

Well, if you looked at the top speed of his Honda, you could see that Elias and Melandris bike were not even in the top 9; Rossis bike was.

What about last year? He had the best bike on the grid.

As far as I recall, Rossi never nerfed Hopper on the straight.

Yes, of course. If you forget the fact that he was injured most of the year ...

And Rossi did touch Hopper in the corner. Did you see Melandris pass btw on Hopper ? Did you see how Hopper reacted ? He moved his line !!! If he didn't they would have been in exact the same situation as Elias and Rossi. But the thing is Hopper wasn't driving dangerous and changed his line. Rossi just continued and thought Elias would be a chicken and back off but he didn't !!! So that incident was nothing. It was racing between 2 guys who were not afraid of each other and pushed to the limit and the best of the moment won.
But instead of being gracefull in his defeat, he starts wining like a little girlie.

well i think these 800's have proved that its not all down to top end that gives the fast lap times ,it late on the breaks carry more corner speed and get back on the gas earler, these 800s are slower than the 990's but are punching out faster lap times,.
how many races did rossi win on a slower bike ?
dont get me wrong,i like elias in a marco way,i think there good but not 46 good.

The best bike on the grid ?? Are you a stand up comedian or something ? By the way, Elias was injured most of the year anyway.

Yeah, and whos fault is it?

Not our fault he can't stay on a bike most of the time.

Yeah, you know, the V5 Honda? Don't give me the satellite team ........, his teammate won a shedload of races and that bike, and a rider on a V5 Honda won the championship.

Nicky's bike was significantly different. But there was nothing wrong with Elias' bike last year. IMO the yamaha was a better bike when it was working (portugal for example) but not by much.

Well I don't remember how he got injured. Did he fall by himself or did someone mad him fall ? I don't know. But I do know things like that happen to everyone. Rossi fell several times by himself, Pedrosa fell by himself and a bunch of others. Elias was just unlucky to fall and get injured a long time.

Anyway, you were the one doubting about his skills because he didn't achieve much last year. You don't have to be smart to understand that if you are injured and not competing, you can't win races, can you ?

No, I don't give you satelite ......... Rossi is riding the best bike. Don't come with the "Yamaha is not as good as the Honda"-.........

Nah, Honda's 8 wins means jack-.... I guess.

Why wasn't Toni as good as Rossi on a Yamaha in 05? That was the best bike out there by far, yet he still gave lowly results on that aswell.

12 Elias Yamaha 12 14 14 9 13 9 12 14 9 11 8 9 6 10 74

Champ pos,rider,team, results race by race.

A Honda was his dream ticket.

Maybe because he was a rookie and still had a lot to learn ? And maybe also because Rossi is the man of Yamaha and gets the best material of Yamaha ? Just maybe ...

It's funny to see Rossi whining like Biaggi, my tyres blah blah, Elías blah blah!

Now the Rossi fans will jump at my neck but I HAD to say it!

Rossi is through .... he'll never win another race.

All hail Casey Stoner.
