I'm not a big fan of Nicole Hayden. I have a friend that has met him and says he is a super nice guy. But after that A* ad, I could never pull for him.

I think Jorge may surprise some folks this year.

The real question is, did the other companies do their homework to put a product out there that can catch the Ducati. I'm not knocking Stoner, but that setup last year, made the season boring.

no shit, a lot of it just depended on the track (the duc didnt have the advantage on the long and straight tracks) but god damn his machine must have been eating super gas.

yeah well hopper finished 4th last year... so if he can give the boot to pedrosa this year I think he'll be on the podium more... unfortunately I don't see him getting by Rossi or Stoner much this year... but if he can... it'll be for the wins.


this is all of course if he can stay healthy...

ya ya, i know POD. but get at me on sunday and lets see the times.

exactly... little different with folks in your way... obviously... it'll be interesting to see how much of a difference it is for them stepping up from 250's to the 800's

I've heard the 250's carry more corner speed actually... anyone know if that's true?
pickle.of.doom
03-07-2008, 11:53 PM
Yeah, I just have a feeling this is the year a Rookie takes it.

800's have more cornerspeed than the 990's did, but I'm not sure about the 250's

And Toseland is from WSBK

And final thought, I think Rossi will find switching to 'stones to be a HUGE mistake.

I don't think it'll be a huge mistake... but I don't think it'll be the diffrence he's expecting... (well it maybe much better for him but Mich will have gained ground)

who's the other rider that moved up from 250's?

I dunno... Hayden looked strong pulling into his garage at the end of the race.... look for him to come out (of the garage) next race with athority! :lol:


Lorenzo really suprized me... I knew he'd be up there but I figured he'd be 4-10th in his first race... not high on the podium. :dthumb:

I think his bike setup had a lot to do with it... I think he was even riding last years bike if I remember right...

Honda is putting all their stock in Pedrosa... Hayden winning was a fluke in their eyes... I honestly think Hayden should leave and go to Yamaha or Suzy

i think its bullshit how race teams wont do their best to supply the riders with the VERY best gear in every situation. like honda doest have an extra mil to throw at repsol? or even the smaller teams.

michellin fuckin jews their riders, a lot the guys not expected to place under 5 dont even get the best tires.

one of the reasons bridgestone did so well in qatar.

yeah... it's all a money game... why spend that extra mil if it's nothing but a pit? giving an extra mil to Shinya Nakano isn't gonna put him on the podium I don't think. it may make him a constant mid pack runner... but that's not much of a return... ya know?

I agree though I'd love to see all the riders (especially those on the same fuck'n team) get the same quality gear!



honestly... I'm not holding Qatar with too much weight... it was the first round, the first ever night race... and several people were injured...

Tech 3 is a satellite team for the factory Yamaha team. They should have the same power as Lorenzo and Rossi. And if you remember correctly both tech 3 guys were starting on the front row. :dthumb: So power wise, I think there are up there, James just wore out his tires early trying to keep up with Lorenzo and Stoner.

that may be the case... just looked like he was loosing time in the straight not the corners :idk:

To be honest, I just don't like stoner's stupid face. He looks like a 15 year old douchebag.

And yeah... You have to laugh at Biaggi's misfortunes... karma.
