Andrea Dovizioso

“Yes, it was a difficult test but we didn’t expect it to be any different. We're here to improve the situation and everybody knows the level we are now so we have to improve. We tested as much stuff as we could, because we’re focused on improving the bike. The gap to the others is big, and we pushed a lot to understand the bike. I gave a lot of feedback, maybe too much! We don’t know how the next test in Sepang will be. There’s too short a time between now and then, so it’s difficult to do something big in this time. We still have to decide which parts we can bring to the second test. Unfortunately, we need time to try something big.”

Sounds like Rossi two years ago. Hopefully Audi will start kicking arse soon

I must admit I get tired of the argument against Rossi that he only ever won on the best bike in the championship - it's the same for them all. In order to win a championship, you have to be on a bike capable of doing it. Granted Stoner was able to put in a couple of heroic races together in his last couple of seasons on the Ducati, but championship contender he was not. As for Rossi being the most looked after in MotoGP - surely that title better fits either Pedrosa or Marquez for that matter. Both have been groomed from very early on in their careers by Honda and been given nothing but the best machinery throughout - some even argue that the switch to 800s was pushed by Honda so that it would suit the smaller frame of Pedrosa (though I'm not sure how much I buy into that). Casey didn't have it that hard either - except for the aforementioned couple of seasons on Ducati - the LCR Aprilia squad was one of the best teams in the smaller classes. Lorenzo too - he's never been on a bike not capable of winning the championship. All of the guys at the top have been given some of the best opportunities to get there.

Oh

Dear Nostro  your days on here are well and truly numbered #27-V8

See nostro read simple's post, thats how you do it.  Top riders always get the best bikes, fact

V8's start in 7 days, make sure you set your alarm

Nos

Nos your not a cunt because you dislike Rossi. But you make yourself appear a cunt for not admitting that Rossi is still one of the best riders out their. I don't like Stoner but as a rider he was one of the quickest and he will be missed so before you make your self look more of an idiot eat humble pie and admit you are wrong about Rossi

Or DH46, Rossi

throwing his handbag, sorry helmet into Biaggi's face, or sitting sulking in Parc Ferme Mugello having been fairly beaten to come third.

Stoner gets rough shod out of control dirt tracking and brake checking against him by Yamaha's new nr.2, thumps RdeP's arm for endangering his life - for which Randy profusely apologised. Where's the parallel?
