I don't know about everyone else,but I have never been a fan of Stoner going on a Honda
Do you think that it would have been better to see Stoner on a Yamaha??? Him and Jorge would have made a pretty solid team.
Honda have always been known to hold the Bike in higher regard than the rider. Do...
Not good teams might fold yet during 2011 imo

Ok, I’ve decided to do something special for the end of this season. As you guys can see, the forum is conducting a "CHIP IN" drive. The forum needs an upgrade, so in true community fashion, we are the ones being asked to chip in. Here is what I plan to do, I will add a year of write up...
Frustrated by outdated equipment, not to mention being upstaged by Ben, it appears Colin has asked Yamaha Japan for some up to date gear.

I mean the bike only not the seat in the factory team. Spies is riding well and the results are starting to come. Where does the rookie rule prevent Yamaha from giving Spies Rossi's bike? Not sure how it would apply with the engine rule though. Thoughts?
Burgess does not accept Rossi's own explanation that his recent defeats were caused by an imperfect setup of his M1, and points out that telemetry data show that his braking performances kept getting worse during the race, well ahead of the last 7-8 laps.That would indicate persisting problems...
So I finally had a chance to watch Lemans and I have to say I'm starting to like Lorenzo more and more ech race. But this got me thinking, its clear that even though Rossi and Lorenzo are teammates they sure have some close battles, paint rubbing corner exits etc that usually only occurs with...

Rossi declared Yamaha have to choose between him and Lorenzo.
So if you were Yamaha, what would you do?
1) Follow good feelings of gratitude for the 30-year old champion and trust that he'll be able (and willing....) to race and win for another couple of years at least beyond 2010, or
