Oh well atleast a Honda took 2nd. Too bad about Hopkins. He seems like a good guy, and he was having a good race. I think in time he could be a regular on the podium.

Pedrosa is Team Repsols only hope this year. Collin ran a real solid race and of course Rossi is the man!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's him so much but the bike. From the startI think they designed the 212V for Pedrosa. Go figureHayden is the reigning G.P. champ and he's playing Pedrosa's waterboy.

Honda dosent do much to build their bikes for their riders. That was the number 1 reason Rossi stopped riding Honda. The frusterated him telling him thatraces are won by the bike not the rider. (Obviously not the case) Honda builds the bikes and the riders team is in charge of setting it up for their needs. From what I hear things havent changed much since Rossi rode Honda.

I think tire problems caused Hayden to slow down late in the race.

whatever the problem he needs to do something about it or he will be playing second to pedrosa and rossi will be the new champion. but i think we will see quite a few great races before this season has ended.

More poltics...like in F1?

Maybe.

It would not surprise me though if the team effort at Honda goes more towards developing the bike for Pedrosa.

If Repsol Honda had a Japanese rider...the wheels probably would have fallen off before the first lap.

One thing about motorcycle racing though, whether it's AMA Superbike, (my fave series overall)...WSBK, or Moto GP...
I have yet to find a rider I dislike. Or a team for that matter.


I take that back...as Matt Mladin is an ***hole...least from what I have seen and read. Go Spies!!!!!!!!

Yates is a tool bag!!!!!! Who else can take someout another rider on a retarded line, drop kick them after they cause a crash, and still say that they did nothing wrong.:D:D
