I had Teo and El Toro confused with each other. I couldn't imagine any other reason
for someone not knowing why everybody has such enmity towards
Pedrosa. My mistake. The only other explanation is Teo is is suffering
from some kind of extreme Spanish denial.

When i went to valencia in 06 which is where Teo is from, i kid you not there was as many pedro shirts as rossi shirts from what i saw. There as patriotic about him as the aussies are about stoner.

I don't doubt it. Since bullfighting stopped being (on an international level) relevant
about 40 years ago - they haven't had many sporting icons to root for. Unless you
consider soccer a sport.

well Alonso is a raciest ....... and both are a pair of premadonas imo. My dislike for gibbers is well documented on this forum as you well know jane

i know, i was actually asking for just alonso

actually, why just cross the road? j/k teo...

cause Honda had the RULES CHANGED to TRY and get an advantage for horse jockey riders..thats why we/I give midget riders a hard time...their plan back fired...Pedro was better on the 990... but with the rules as they are..any normal sized guy looks like a bear on a circus bike atm..

That's a good point. The rules were changed in the name of safety but we all know the hand that Honda played in pushing through the legislation, and laugh my ... off everytime I think about how their plan worked I believe that once the 800's are more finely tuned then the midgets will have the complete advantage.

Bring back normal sized bikes and normal sized riders. Bring back the 990's

Teomoloca is a girl.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DirtyD86 @ Jul 13 2009, 12:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>aside from this, there is also the fact that people are naturally attracted the strength, and a male being 5'2" is pathetic. (there is no nicer way of putting it)..... as a sociology major, one of the recurring trends you start to notice is how major a role your height plays in how the world perceives you. at the end of the day, we are all animals, and it is hardwired into your brain whether you want to admit it or not. survival of the fittest

So people are uncomfortable with someone smaller than them being successful because they 'shouldn't' be a threat?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Keshav @ Jul 13 2009, 12:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>You're relatively new to the forum - so you've missed a lot of earlier comments on Pedrosa -
so clearly, you don't get what it is everybody hates about him. #1 was his ....... move on
his teammate Nicky Hayden on the penultimate race in 2006 when Hayden had the championship
all wrapped up. Dani Pendejo made an incredibly dangerous and unbelivably stupid pass on Hayden and knocked him down and almost cost him the championship. Pedrosa was nowhere near to being in contention for the championship -

You say nowhere near in contention, yet Dani was mathematically in with a shot and could well have won that race. Playing team orders would have been weak and disappointing from both him and Honda. The mistake itself was pretty terrible, but everyone makes them occasionally. The riding error was no greater than Rossi on Marco in Japan 05 for example

What gave you the idea that ALonso is a racist? I've never seen anything to suggest this

You know the rule change was Yamahas idea
