So you think that was the problem??

Hypnotiq · 12-28-2007, 11:59 AM

It's a joke Mike. You're supposed to laugh. You're too serious.

Tdawg · 12-28-2007, 12:13 PM

Funny...

But Hopper learned from Stoner. Switch teams and get married...

Go Hopper! Even on a Kawi

Naahhhh.. I was just trying to start a little coversation. I know how you feel about Hayden. Your wrong, but I know how you feel

I think Stoner is going to have a little harder time of it this year for sure.

Hypnotiq · 12-28-2007, 02:19 PM

I've had the Hayden conversations too many times. No need to revisit.

We'll see how things go this year...it better be more exciting than last year or Im going to just watch 08 season highlights instead of Tivo'ing the races. WSBK and WSS were much more exciting last year. :D

late apex · 12-28-2007, 03:56 PM

There were conversations about Hayden this year?

Stoner will have a harder time this year. Ducati did it right last year and caught everyone out at the beginning. Ducati will not catch everyone out this coming year.

MichelinMan · 12-28-2007, 04:03 PM

Apex has it right. Things are going to be much different this season.

NoQuarter#121 · 01-14-2008, 06:53 PM

No question it will be different.

Rossi is on Bridgestones.

The Yamaha still sucks but at least he will have the tires.

The M1 will be improved but my guess is the Hondas and Ducatis will be the best bikes. That Kawi has improved and they now have a pretty decent expereinced rider.

Stoner and Melandri will have the tires and Hayden and Pedrosa will struggle at tracks that the Mich's don't like.

and the GOAT will have the tires and a fighting chance for wins and the championship.

IMO, the elctronics have taken out some of the magic. Even Lorenzo is already nearly up to speed, with only a couple of practices.

Roger Hayden was up to speed in one weekend. Electronics may be the future of motorcycling, but they are the end of riders.

There is nothing to learn from Hayden that Stoner doesnt already know!

i agree with this except I really think Michelin will come out swinging. They have to prove that Rossi made an error in switching and they want the championship back. I look for Hayden and Pedrosa to be 2 of the strongest from the start. I know there are haters but i dont feel that hayden got lucky in 06. Im looking for him to be fighting for a championship again this year.

howardcrow · 01-18-2008, 10:58 PM

Ducati's bike has been dominant for 2 years now. Capirossi would have walked away with the title in 2006 if not for the giant crash...

I do think Honda is the threat here, but Pedrosa is a mediocre/overrated rider with a 30lb advantage and will never win because he has no soul.

Rossi is done - because his bike remains underpowered. It has less to do with tires than he thinks. It is possible lorenzo will beat him...

random fuel for the fire

Hypnotiq · 01-22-2008, 01:52 PM

Umm and Rossi would have won in 2006 if it weren't for Melandri taking him out in a race. You can play woulda, coulda, shoulda all day.

I think Rossi knows a little more about what he needs than you do. He isn't a repeated champion by accident.

Lee650 · 01-29-2008, 08:48 PM

I think this is going to be a good year to watch MotoGP.

We should see some real fun and close racing.
