Will Rossi start from pit road if he uses new bike

Actually I am having a pain day, every broken bone I have (all 12 of them - and multiple breaks on some of those) is aching, my high femur (neck of femur) is doubling its effort and I'm completely uncomfortable and trying to get the nurses to give me more drugs but I'm maxed out.



This is where I spew about them taking away my morphine because sometimes lesser drugs just don't cut it.



ALSO, big praise for the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, I have been well looked after.

They are doing it for future strategy, I'm unsure if that sits well with me. I'll have to think about it. But I predict he will be the top Ducati finisher tomorrow regardless of that pit lane start. [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Plus, massive amounts of air time[/font].

Sorry to hear about your accident mate.

Hang in there and get better soon.

Look on the bright side, even though you are smashed up, you're still on the right side of the grass.

Yeah, my "but for" was pretty tongue in cheek. Pedro still probably would have broken another collar bone all on his own.

I was about to reply then ...











Jesus H Christ you are quick - the Rossi out was my ace card and you posted first.

Actually the whole thing would look entirely different if Rossi was still on a Yamaha, his decision to be King of the back markers had a profound effect on the field. I don't think he would have taken too many wins away from Jorge or Casey, but he would have changed the points and podiums a lot.



Edit: But yes I agree, Honda is the best mousetrap, but not by an insurmountable margin or even as big a margin as some would portray it to be

Yes, pedrosa having an injury free season is very much in the realm of the hypothetical, unfortunately for him. This year to be fair apart from the simoncelli incident he has otherwise not gone all that close to injuring himself. I don't see simoncelli as being the only one in error in that incident though, and I believe dani was trying to prove something rather than just racing simoncelli; he was not going to get stoner in that race and simoncelli had caught him rapidly but was not necessarily going to be able to maintain that pace till the end of the race going by disclosed form, so dani was perhaps more desperate in that corner than he needed to be.

I'm with you 100% here, Hairball might have been aggressive but there was no reason at all why Pedro could not have stood it up abit or backed of a little as well. He was all to keen to hang Simo out to dry. I have never thought that the incident was all Simos fault.



Pedro destroyed his own season as much as Simo did.
