What did you think of Dani Pedrosa’s performance In Malaysia?

If you are gonn aget technical then Nicky Hayden is still the world champion.


Actually Nicky is the 2006 champion, and now technically the former MotoGP champion (WAS), for the obvious reason that he did not successfully defend the title against Casey.

Casey now has the honour of being the current MotoGP Champion (IS).

The only reason Hayden rides with number 1 for the rest of the season is because he started with it, and only he could have that number in 2007, even though he lost the title officially to Casey back in Japan.

Even the commentators now refer to Nicky as the former champion.

no MigsAngel the reason is that the season is not over till valencia!!! you can’t crown and make a wcmp mid way or at the end of any season...casey stoner is the wc and will wear the #1 in 2008 only...its ridiculous to suggest that he can wear the #1 plate as soon as he wins it!!!..its never been done before and i hope will never be done!!!...please give nicky hayden the respect that he deserves fo being the wc in 2006!!!

I was not trying to suggest that Casey could wear number 1, perhaps I was not clear...Nicky is the former champion and number 1 in number only, and 9th in the 2007 standings so far...he can't get 8th if he's lucky and 10th if he's unlucky....

The authority on all things motogp, I'm sure.

Nicky is still the reigning champ. Casey has clinched so he is the 2007 champ but 2007 has been entered into the history books yet. After the race at Valencia Nicky will be the former champ.

I think you will find that Stoner is the "champion elect" technically speaking. Each champion reigns for a year, and Nicky is the champ until Casey is crowned at the FIM awards. It's a sure thing that Casey will be crowned, but it hasn't happened yet.

I think Dani is a great rider and in 2008 if Honda and the Michelins will get their act together then Dani will be right up there with Stoner! If you analyse Danis’s performance in 2007 he’s the only rider out of the Michelins that ever came close to Stoner!!!...So Stoner boy “watch out for dani in 2008, that’s all I can say to you boy!!!”

Dani Pedrosa is a Champion!!!

Imagine the unthinkable, an illegal technicality on the bike (that must have been there all season), or Stoner on drugs, any scadal that would ban him from MotoGP and strip him for all his points. At that point he is no longer the champion to be. I think that is one of the reasons the actual championship is not decided before the seson is over.

yup you got it

+ the duc is the best bike - they got it right with b-stone

rossi's biggest mistake - sticking with yamaha

look at fi - michelin is out of competition

moto-gp - like it shpuld be - a bike/ a rider/ one tire no engine management .... - power bands should g in one direction up. remember all the crap with 125' s and 10+ gears - get back to sport not electronics

.... - i'm rambling:

dani was a champ - on little bikes
casy is the champ + a real one not like old haystack

next year get the tire .... on one denominator 2008 - ror = return of rossi
 
I though it was a typical day for Pedro.Start on the pole,never lead a lap,get passed by a sattelite Honda then blame it on the tires.Dani is a good rider but there just seems to be something missing.The greats can take a 3rd place bike and win with it.Dani will take a 3rd place bike and finish 3rd thru fifth.

I think Honda should splice Pedrosa's Brain with Elias Bravery (AKA Cojones)...This would be the greatest rider of all time...Tony Pedrosalias!

It's a well known fact that you can't have both. The big balls make the brain shrink and the other way around

All Low Class No Top Class...

The Hobbit is another 'Roman Ruin' which not win the big class title so long as Rossi, Stoner, Melandri, Lorenzo and Dovi are riding!


im sorry, what year was it that melandri was motogp champion again? must have missed that.



never say never...
 
i'm a big pedrosa fan but this guy doesn't half talk some st.

however i do truly believe that dani will be right there next year, the bike seems to be working much beta (3 pole positions) and the michelins are improving. with a winter break of hard work i can certainly see dani being right there with rossi, stoner and melandri.
