crossroads

As the boss of honda said..." if dani wins this year, he will go on to win more titles. If he doesnt win this year he probably never will". Dani looks ready, and as said inanother post he just needs luck to smile on him for a whole season. All champs have luck on their side in their title winning year(s). Thats the x factor and why casey and jorge have two and dani has none. He has had more than his share of bad luck...look at the farce that was misano...getting the tire warmer jammed and the comedy of errors that followed are a prime example. Anyways having four battle week in week out will be fantastic. I hope dani wins and rossi can beat lorenzo...i think lorenzo is a little worried...not terrified or anything but a little concerned about "yamahas number 2 rider". There is no pressure on the underdog...if they lose its expected; if they win its gravy. For the favorite its different...there is no glory in winning as its expected; but there is great shame in losing. If lorenzo can handle that pressure(hes never faced this situation before...a strong teamate thats number2) he will prove himself as the complete package. .

CRT = factories get your act together

"carcleanerboy says
vfr750 another factor is the lack of competitive bikes in the field. The best riders of the modern era .have a massive advantage now, which increases the gap over the field by a mile ,and creates the alien level "

CCB has a very valid point. There are only 4 machines capable in ordinary conditions of winning. Mind you it ever has been this way in motogp.

Makes me wonder though if Uncle Carmellos push for cheaper machinery, will not lead to an ultimate price cap or something similar. He's pushed the factories to look into the CRT abyss. And said "Do you think your anyone will value your factory product if all it can beat are home built bikes."

Yamaha and Honda have responded. One says they will build bikes, the other lease there engine and electronics. Its a start to moving the recalcitrant buggers.

The more truly competitive equipment on the grid the more likely we are to tilt the balance back toward that magic 20% machine, 80% rider.

Stoner???

Who is stoner??? I failed to see him on the time sheets.. Sounds like a fisherman or a race car drivers name to me?? Not a moto GP rider.. Funny some of you Brits talk this crap on Rossi or spies and Hayden, yet they are on a bike this year, and stoner is looking for work.. Some of y'all talk trash on spies and lift your mighty crutchlow on a pedestal .. Well third place on a rostrum and its national cal day. When he does what spies did in the same amount of time.. Then talk trash.. Stoner is a nobody like giber was.. Right was.. No one remembers the guy that took it to Rossi here and there.. And that's the way stoner has gone.. Just some guy that took it to him a couple times.. I'm not a Rossi fan per say. He is the goat.. Stoner couldve been if he let his balls dropped.. No doubt about that.. He was good and fast just a bitch.. For the record I'm a Edwards and spies fan because I'm from Texas, I've been on the track with spies.. Albeit quite a bit slower, but still I known him from those days..

Same as it ever was..

What is your position on crop circles? Stoner may be irrelevant to current moto gp, but you would seem even more so.

If stoner is equivalent to gibernau  (other than winning 29 more races and 2 more championships in the premier class) why do people (mostly rossi fans at that ) keep bringing him up in his retirement in a thread about valentino's performance at the 2013 sepang test? The only possible relevance I can see is that valentino is only about a second off stoner's time last year, which I was not inclined to bring up without encouragement/provocation.
