I mean, after the start he was almost last. But suddenly he was riding like a nutscase and passing just everyone. I know Pedrosa as mister I-Can't-Even-Pass-My-Grandma-On-A-Bike but suddenly he was passing everyone like if they were ghosts. Last week I called him a big dissapointment, but if he can hold on this level he will really rock from now on and get several wins.
your not going to become Pedrosa's biggest fan now are you?
That was a good performance by Dani considering the bridgestones were the best tyre although Honda did use different tyres to Yamaha.
He has definitely got his wet weather problems sorted and the lighter bikes must be a help to him with that!
So far he hasnt been that good this year obviously the bike isnt helping him but he is the leading honda in the championship and only Melandri is able to match him so he must be doing ok.
Everyone expected him to get several wins this season anyway and honda will improve so if he doesnt win a few races then that would be a disappointment.

Well I am open to be a fan of everyone as long as it isn't Rossi. I know you are a Rossi fan and I apologise for that but I am only speaking the truth if I say I hope with all my heart Rossi will lose the championship
.
Concerning Pedrosa I wasn't talking about his rain performance. It was a very good one for him. But I was more impressed by his first 4 or 5 laps. I don't know what got into this guy but if I remember last year, when he was behind Melandri it could took him 10 laps before he got passed him. Last race it took him 2 curves. So I was really shocked that he suddenly found the ability to overtake so many riders in so little laps.

yeah it was impressive from Dani but Guintoli did the same thing!

I may seem strange but looking into it it's just one of the best riders on the grid showing why he is one of the best. To start a race on a damp track is someting that everyone gets nervous about. Pedrosa who has never raced well in rain before must have been the most nervous out there, and also one of those who got a lot to loose.
As the race starts every rider has too gently feel his way through the track. What happened was that for a few laps the conditions were pretty stable, and Pedrosa got the feel for the grip on the track and got confidence in the tires and the bike. As he is a very smoth rider rain/dampness should fit him quite well, and as he now have had some pro wet training he manages to benefit from this.
But by all means, credit for Pedrosa and for him riding through it.

I’m certainly not a Pedrosa fan. All one needs to do is look back over the threads that talked about him and you will see many of my posts sounding like ToniElias (just joking). But I have said I was gonna keep an open mind about him this season. And certainly, as much as I disliked him, I recognized his potential. He is fast, no doubt, but not many thought he would do well under the conditions at La Mans. So props to him. He kept it on two wheels while making inroads on the field. That's no small feat (pardon the pun). But I’m not ready to like the burger.

He was only getting past everyone because he was riding the lest conservative. If it was dry it would be another storey. Or maybe it was just the fact that Hayden was infront of him for once and he didnt like it !

Yes, but that's my point. Normally Pedrosa is overly conservative when it comes to overtake people. This race he wasn't. I disliked Pedrosa in MotoGP because he was the worst overtaker of the whole field. Suddenly he turned into the Tasmanian Devil. My respect level towards him increased with 1 point. The pity is, it was on 3 so now he has 4 on my respect level.

Well, I'm sure Dani will sleep better at night knowing how he's gone up in your estimations. Who will it be next week?

Strange. First you said you were impressed and 1 post later you say you are not impressed. Your crack therapy is having serious side effects.
A hatt is a very big hat.
