Given that Yamaha have lost the plot and are now back with the Ducatis on performance ..... and that it looks like Dani will reel in rossi ...... can he also reach Lorenzo before the end of the season?

Isnt Dani good in the early 2nd half of the seadon usually?

Steady on ! It's only last two races that results have been thrown away. Don't expect it to continue . On the other hand I would like to see Dani come good at some point .

I don't think so either. Dani only just held off Jack Miller at the end of this race.

It's possible, and I certainly hope so. Danni is a great guy, but unfortunately, don't see him winning a title in his career. But a 2nd place this season would be awesome. He's probably the best rider by far who doesn't pretend to be the #1, so a very safe team choice for points and a lack of conflict with the #1.

Dani is still struggling with the bike in the dry, so no, i cant see him overtaking either of the Yamahas

I think he's a waste of a factory Honda, i don't know how he's managed to stay on a top bike since 2006 and not deliver a single title.

He was pretty annoyed at the race stoppage at Assen....
He generally pulls a win out of somewhere, but along your lines, he appears to be having more trouble this year

I think I more wonder whether ( regardless of Danis absolute performance ), relative to rossi and Lorenzo he is gaining.

Dani may not be performing as well as he has in some previous years but with Yamahas two riders going even more poorly than him, we may see two Hondas at the top by the end of the season.
