Has anyone seen or heard anything regarding moto gp winter testing times etc,just wondered how rossi is getting on back on the yam.
only did one test just after valencia. no need to worry though, at least he knows what the back of Lorenzo, pedrosa & crutchlows leathers look like, and then theres that new kid, yaknow that Marc fella?
I am a Rossi fan but I think his days as the best have passed and unfortunately think he will be seeing the back of other riders leathers again this season. Hope I am wrong, but the new kids are pretty good.
yes i agree..... but he ll have a bloody good go i hope......but if Bradley Smith does him i will be worried !!
I for one can't wait to see if he can get back to the wold ways. I'm not talking wining every race but a win, keep up the pace. I'm also a big Rossi fan but no one will be able to say it's the bike this year if the twat that is George rides all over him on the same bike. Fingers crossed for a good years racing
yes but just imagine is both Stoner and Marco #58 where out there as well it would have been the best season ever but we will never know
I worry about Bradley Smith, nice lad, very talented but I think this is a step too far and definately too soon IMO. I know he is popular but I was was surprised he got a ride, I personally think there are some others who should have been there instead. I would love to be wrong and it would be great if he is successful but this is another level and the risks are so much higher. Lorenzo is so consistent, but I think he will get stiff competition this year and not just from Pedrosa. Hopefully it will make for some great racing.
Agreed, is a great pity marcos dead and stoner has retired. Would have been a great season otherwise. As for bradley smith, please, what the fuck is he doing there ? maybe he'll prove us wrong but ......... Hopefully pedrosa will stay fit all season, at least making it a decent challenge for lorenzo, if he doesnt i think lorenzo will walk it this year. Also hope crutchlow does well.
Smith isn't good enough to be there, his family are loaded that's the only reason he's got the ride! I feel sorry for the likes of Edwards etc thou I still wouldn't mind being a quid behind him. Anybody think could win it this year?
Not sure who would win this year Bardo and as much as I don't care to much for Pedrosa I would consider him to be the biggest threat .Sorry it won't be Hayden or Edwards .Cal has got our respect for shear guts and skill ,Massive Rossi Fan but I am afraid he is bigger than the game and just like footballers at the top they tend to have that many other things going on they surely can't have 100 % dedication ?
Smith struggles on the moto 2 machine because he's such a big lad compared to the rest of them, apparently he's looking a lot stronger on the moto gp bike than anyone was expecting. I think he's going to shock a lot if people, maybe not this season but next.
If I was a betting person I would put a few quid on Marquez this year. An awesome rider who, if he adapts ok is more than capable of causing an upset to the big boys this season.
Marquez is a good bet and I'll show my ar-- outside Buck palace if Smith wins a race within the next 2 years.
had pics of the wife and kids taken with bradders at the bike show and a quick chat and he,s a really nice lad and had loads of time for people. i thought he was a bit early for top flight but really hope he gets on with it. hopefully scott redding in a year or 2 will move up. rossi will hopefully be there battling away at the front. can,t wait!!
Smith wasn't on the pace last season as his bike wasn't good enough, simple as that. He'll be mid pack in GP, I think about half a second off Cal after a few rounds. Rossi hasn't lost anything, he will be fast again and will be up there at the front, I have no doubt about that, I also think Marquez will be faster than Dani by mid season.
