Rossi

Here we go, moaning again!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing's right!! It's all the bikes fault!! Give it a rest, we've heard enough excuses for one year. The best bet would be to dump Rossi and Hayden and give someone else a try who is willing to "wring it's neck"  as was already commented. RDP and Hector Barbera r Karel Abraham would do a lot better, I'm sure!! and they wouldn't be complaining every 2 minutes and making excuses for a poor performance, Next it'll be the engine. When is it all going to stop?? Bring back Bayliss, I say. He just got on with it, something that Rossi now seems incapable of doing!! Ciao

Ummm...

Just what if the problem was the frame - and - just what if the problem was also the engine. It is possible that both are not the way they need to be? I think so.

Just because one of the many riders (Stoner) had some success on the thing doesn't mean there aren't multiple problems with it. If it were flawless Stoner would have dominated on it every year (possibly).

Vale knows how a MotoGP bike should handle. So far the Duc ain't it. If Ducati is smart they will keep making major changes until the thing works like it should. When it does, more than just Stoner should be able to make it go fast. That will make everyone (except non Valentino fans and sponsors) happy. Myself included.

Go Spies!

right then, explain why barbera is 0.3 seconds slower and Abrham is 0.6 seconds slower than rossi on the same bike,all the ducati guys were using the same bike today with their colour schemes to help speed up development...., do you think they are not tying or something,just going for a leisurely Sunday ride?fuck me. some people.

If rossi has past it ,then barbera and abrham have no hope ,because they are slower than someone who has 'past it'. they might as well pack in now before they become 'past it' because they will be even slower..... i don't mind comments that slag of a rider, but you must have good reason and some substantial evidence to back up your point of view.

There's still time. I hope they sort it out soon.

Don't forget Stoner has been nowhere in getting the championship in his last two Ducati years because the bike just wasn't up to the standard of the rest. Also don't forget that Stoner came off every other race due to losing the front end and this is the exact issue Hayden and Rossi complain about. A young Rossi would have pushed this bike to wins like Stoner did. Stoner always looked like he was going to die after each race on the Ducati cus he pushed it so much. An old Rossi cannot afford to crash so he wont be pushing a bike he isn't comfortable on like he did in his young days. If Rossi has a crash and breaks a bone then that is the end of his career at his age. Rossi has the talent, he just doesn't have age on his side. He proved towards the end of last year after getting over his injury that he still has the speed when racing Lorenzo and Stoner in the last few races.
