:laughing ohhh, more team rivalry... on one of the Spanish language web sites the Pedrobot is slagging off Nicky Hayden again.

Asked about his injury and how missing the next two tests would impact bike development and leave Nicky carrying the entire workload Pedrosa said "Historically, when Nicky has been the responsible of the development of the bike it has never been beneficial"

To Danny: GET OFF THE FUCKING SIDEWALK.

Stoner's fastest lap WAS on a qualifier. But he was only 3 tenths slower on race tires than he was on the Q rubber. So he was by far the fastest on race rubber.

Casey says his upper body is still weak following the post-season shoulder injury.
Rossi is recovering from a broken hand/wrist/something too.
Elias had leg surgery post season.
Pedrosa has a freshly broken hand.

:cry lets hope they all heal up for the coming season.

he probably means it has never been beneficial because Nicky rides like a dirtracker. All the rest of the guys ride the front end. Nicky stiffens up the rear to artificially bring "feel" to the front end that's not there. He wants the back end to be loose but short wheelbases and the chassis design of these bikes don't allow them to be fast like that or they severely shred the rear tire like Nicky did a few times last season.

when you have someone that's riding the bike in a way that it doesn't want to be ridden, and he's setting up the bike and requesting changes be made according to his style, of course a more modern style euro rider isn't going to be compatible with it.
 
My point about Hayden moving to Ducati was that HRC doesn't seem to be giving him their full support (I know, I know, :deadhorse) and they didn't have a very competitive motorcycle at all last year. In fact, it was probably the fourth best bike behind the Suzuki. Pedrosa did well in the end, but when you consider how many bikes Honda puts on the grid they were probably expecting to win more races.

Stoner was the best rider last year, and he proved that he could race with and beat anyone, including Rossi, but he also had what was clearly the best motorcycle. The combination of the two allowed him to absolutely dominate. Capirossi managed to pull out a win and Barros on the Pramac team had some good results too.

I only watch baseball and motorcycle racing and this part of the year is dead to me as far as sports go. Can't wait for the season to start.
