It's only pres-season testing; even in qualifying Rossi seems to be slow to start until he finds his groove (like he does come race day as well).

Maybe Sete might not fall off on a Ducati.

Is Stoner moving up from the 250s this year? Think I heard that somewhere.

Kymco, just wait until the season starts. We'll see sete in the gravel plenty then.

Is Rossi trying yet?

[LeonClayton]

that track is just right for the ducati as it has 2 massive straights. There were very good there last year.

I bet they used some qualifiers as well. Rossi wouldn`t have.

Rossi has never topped the pre-season tests all 3 days. does he need to? he's a legend and going to win again. its blatant ducati used stickys. gibernau needs to think he can actually beat rossi, and so using qualifiers helps his cause. in reality, he will never ever beat vale over a season.

Much as I support Rossi, it would be nice to see him challenged by pedrosa, one of the dukes and melandri. Nevertheless I still want him to win the championship

Maybe what is needed is to make MotoGP more like horse racing - introduce a handicap system.
So Rossi could be made to, for example, ride one handed, or with no lid or leathers(just in his pants), or on a girls bicycle etc etc
Trouble is, the bum faced italian monkey would still find a way to win it on the last lap. He is a biking god, and i'll fight anyone who disagrees!!

Edwards is a truely world class rider, who would be truely on pace with, if not ahead of the honda's if he too were on one. Yet he is only just able to keep pace with them, which shows that the yamaha's arnt the quickest bikes out there. Yet rossi is still quicker than edwards.

People say it would be nice to see how the racing went if rossi was handicapped, well he is, and he's still putting up a damn good fight, winning most races with sheer will power.

Rossi wasnt the boring part of last season, it was everyone else!

about 20% of the overtakes last year were performed by rossi, or at least it looked that way. lets hope this year the rest fight among themselves a bit more

Sete always qualifies well. Then looses.

Funny little insight today at the Phillip Island test. It rained. Every rider apart from Gibernau and Kenny Roberts JR went out on track to do some wet practice. And Team KR were sorting a whole new chassis for tomorrow. What's Gibernau's excuse?

Edit: 8316, what did ya think of the site?
