I also hope that Indy is as good but I hope that Rossi will calm down a little... he's thrown away the championship these past two years. I hope he doesn't make it 3 in a row!
Correction, he didn't throw it away last year. Ducati kicked everyone in the nuts the first year on the 800.

Now the year before, he handed it to Nicole.

He didn't hand it over to Nicky either... his piece of shit Yamaha just couldn't hang with the Honda...

All he had to do was finish ahead of nicole instead of lowsiding at Valencia.

But you are right, the tech trouble early in that season ending up making the difference.

Ha ha ha! Delusional are we? Exactly how many races did Nikita win in '06? Hell, how many races has he won period? Lorenzo has won more MotoGp races in his first year than Hayden has won in 4 or 5 years. In fact, I believe that Pedrosa, in three years and on the same bike mind you,has won more races than Hayden. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I agree with that to a point but Rossi had some unnecessary DNFs that might have changed things.

To tell the truth I miss the "good ol' days" when an American could win the championship and actually win at least half the races. Now when we win it's more like someone else lost,rather than we won. Roberts being the previous example.

I thought Lorenzo only won one race.

The Repsol Honda was made for Pedrosa, not for Hayden. Which is why I hope Hayden signs with Ducati next year.

Then we can watch him get pummeled on an Italian bike

very true. Lorenzo has quite a rep from the 250's but after his big highside... he's been struggling.

it'd be interesting to see Nicky on the Duc... sucks HRC is such a douchebag company to it's riders

I was rooting for Lorenzo. Hopefully the break will do him good.

I am an idiot! Sorry,I was thinking pole positions and you're right he only has one win in the premier class.

Ok,but I doubt Hayden will do any better than Milandri did. I know,I know I'm a hater but really,Nicky was on the same team as Rossi during the years that the Honda flat out DOMINATED MotoGp. The Honda was by far the best bike on the track,hands down. Then Rossi switches to an acknowledged inferior bike and Hayden still can't capitalize. Now the excuse is that the bike wasn't "made" for Nicky and that's why he can't win. What will the excuse be next season,Bridgestone tires,Stoner gets all the good parts,his Italian isn't very good,etc? I know everyone wants NH to be the champion we've been missing in MotoGp for decades. I just don't see it.

No worries...I have my own least favorite racers. But I am home sick today so I am going to fight with you a little longer...

I have only been watching MotoGP religiously for a little over three years now so I cannot say what happened previously...but the year that NH won and before the engine switch the Honda was "made" for Hayden. Once they switched it has taken him a long time to get it where it is. IMO this is obvious because of how far he has come this season.
